Knife Sheaths and Other Gear:
The price of a sheath depends on what you want, size of the knife, and material used (cowhide, exotic, horsehide etc.). Below are a few photos showing some of the sheaths I have made in the past. All of our fixed blade knife sheaths as well as axe and hatchet sheaths have a welt glued and stitched into the seam to help protect you and the stitching from the edge. If you are interested or have any questions about a knife sheath or any other item below please feel free to contact us and we can discuss it. Unless otherwise noted, the prices listed below are for standard cowhide. Exotics, horsehide, lining and custom work will have additional charges.
call this sheath the "Grizzle Special" as it is currently my favorite type sheath. After making a similar sheath for a customer, I liked it so much that I made myself one. The Grizzle Special is a pouch style sheath made from hard rolled horsehide with a 2/3 oz veg tanned cowhide lining. Our unlined sheaths are already rigid and even more so when combined with the lining. The lining also gives the sheath a smooth interior and adds some to the thickness making it a little more heavy duty. This one is shown in dark brown and has a loop for a large 1/2" diameter firesteel. The price starts at $120 without firesteel loop and $140 with a firesteel loop for most 4"- 5" blades. The size of the knife will affect the price. Smaller knives may be less and larger knives will be more. It can also be made as a dangler style for an additional $20. The sheath below is my personal sheath and the edge was left unfinished and treated with Veritas honing compound to be used as a field strop. This can be done upon request at no additional charge. A pouch style sheath generally works well for most knives but may not be suitable for every type knife. The knife below is a custom short Hudson Bay Camp knife made by Matt Lesniewski of ML Knives.

Our unlined sheaths are already rigid and even more so when combined with the lining. The lining also gives the sheath a smooth interior and adds some to the thickness making it a little more heavy duty.

This is a pouch style sheath with some simple tooling. It was made for a Jeff White knife. The edge of the sheath was left unfinished and treated with Veritas honing compound so it can be used as a strop. This is an easy way to touch up the edge of your knife in the field without having to carry extra gear. I can do this on a sheath for no extra charge.

Hatchet and Axe Sheaths:
Here is a belt sheath made for a Gransfors Bruks Mini Hatchet. This one has a fire steel loop and uses a Pull-the-DOT snap for the belt loop and retention strap. It can also be made with a sewn belt loop. A similar style and size sheath in cowhide is $70 without firesteel loop and $90 with firesteel loop. We can also make sheaths for the GB Small Forest Axe, GB Scandinavian Forest Axe 430, and GB Wildlife Hatchet. Prices for the larger hatchets/axes may be more and will vary depending on the style of sheath. A simple bit cover will usually be less than a belt sheath etc.
