From basic to elaborate, each sheath is designed and crafted individually to suit the knife.
Most sheaths will range in price from $20-$50 depending on the style and knife size. Customized sheath prices are based on the material cost and time involved. I can use my own imagination or work with customer designs/ideas. Sheaths meant to be worn around the neck are extremely variable in both design and materials. The open-faced, magnetic sheaths that allow the knife to be seen while held securely in place are my personal favorites. Prices for neck sheaths begin at $25 and vary according to the materials and time involved. All of my sheaths are crafted individually and stitched by hand. Though many materials are available, I most commonly use vegetable tanned cow hide in a variety of thicknesses. It easily accepts stamping, carving and dyes, making it extremely versatile. I also make fleece storage bags for knives. These are designed to keep the knife and sheath separate. (During long-term storage, the tannins used to tan the leather can leach out and damage the blade. Vegetable-based tannins are less corrosive than chemical, but can still cause problems over time.) There are also convenient styles for storing single or multiple folders. |
