Weapon bags for Kobudo: Searching


I have not (yet) found the perfect way to bring my weapons to Kobudo. I dislike having them in a jumble in my gym bag because the other gear could mess them up, they could mess up the other gear, it is hard to lay a hand on exactly which weapon I need at any given time and it is hard to see at glance if I have them all.

I have seen few cases on the internet that store a set of kama, tonfa and sai together. Someone in my dojo has this one:
The problem is that is it is large and it is time consuming and inconvenient to strap all the individual weapons into their respective places. Knowing that I would never take the time kept me from buying this bag.

I found one picture of a case like this (http://www.kobudo-tesshinkan.eu/News/news-en.php):

This case looks genius but a little bigger than I need (only 3 weapons) and it looks like it is international which would complicate things.

Sooooo… I decided to make my own!

All those skills I got in high school making my own purses will finally come in handy! It can't be too much different to make the perfect pouch for a tonfa than the perfect pocket for a lipstick!
