Leather Knife Sheath Our sheaths are custom made here in our workshop for your chosen knife. Prices are from $90. Please note - sheaths are custom made to suit the knife. In order to do that we need the actual item in hand that the sheath is being made for. Please enquire if you are prepared to send (or drop off) the item for a sheath to be made. Our sheath leather is full grain, vegetable tanned cowhide leather. The sheath will help protect your knife and keep it sharp and protected. You will be purchasing a single knife sheath in the style that is shown in the photos. For other styles, and deviations from the sheath in the photo, please contact us. Colour options are available for leather and stitching. Standard colours (kept in stock) for leather dyes are: black, mahogany, dark brown, medium brown and tan. Natural leather is also an option. Standard colours (kept in stock) for stitching are: black, dark brown, light brown, cream and white. Please leave a comment with your order if you have a preference for colour(s). We also have some decorative stamping available to enhance and embellish your sheath. Please contact us for design options. Leather Sheaths Leather has been the traditional material for constructing sheaths for hundreds of years and for good reason. It is both strong and durable, making it ideal for a wide range of applications; soft enough to protect your blade, while also being strong enough to resist being cut while holding your tool. One of the biggest advantages of leather sheaths is the fact that they are both soft and flexible. This means that, when worn, these sheaths are usually a quiet option. For hunters especially, having a sheath that does not bang around and cause unnecessary noise will help ensure that you don’t scare away the pursued animal. Because leather is a natural material, it can degrade over time. Leather sheaths may eventually stretch and lose shape after extended use. The best way to preserve the integrity of your sheath is to occasionally oil it. This will keep your leather from drying out and becoming brittle and also prevent it from absorbing too much water and losing its shape. Show more
