Note on custom leather sheath purchases with knife
> I sell the leather sheaths separately because it keeps the overall cost of the knife down compared to if I sold it with a sheath. Also, many of my customers prefer to make their own sheaths or buy them separately.
> If you decide to purchase one of my sheaths with the knife, know that they are made all by hand, down to hand stitching on every sheath. Most of my custom leather sheaths are made from top quality leather and buffalo hide and are very thick and robust. They are designed and fitted just for your knife and keep the knife very secure.
Most of my custom leather sheaths are belt sheaths that attach with two snaps that you can easily remove from belt without taking your belt off. This allows you attach it to a backpack or anything else you desire. Your sheath will also be stamped with your initials that match the knife blade. Please consider purchasing a custom leather sheath with your knife and the fit and quality will match the blade.
In addition...All my sheath are high grade cowhide leather which are a very thick and sturdy 9-10 ounces. They are all hand cut and hand sewn by me and finished with a thick layer of waterproofing wax. My sheaths take a couple days to complete as well because of the drying process that needs to take place for the dye and wax.
Must be 18 to purchase and local and state carry laws apply
