Custom Knife Sheaths: Handcrafted Leatherwork

A finely made knife deserves a sheath worthy of it. Each of my custom leather sheaths is handcrafted to fit its blade perfectly — not just in size, but in spirit. Crafted from premium full-grain leather, every sheath is part of my custom leatherwork, cut, tooled, saddle-stitched, and finished by hand to provide lasting protection and timeless style.


I design each piece around the knife it will hold, ensuring a secure fit and balanced carry. The process begins with shaping and forming the leather while it’s wet, allowing it to mold precisely to the contours of the blade and handle. Once dry, the knife sheath is dyed, burnished, and sealed for durability, then hand-stitched with heavy thread or riveted where extra strength is needed.


Function always comes first — but beauty follows close behind. Whether you prefer a rugged field sheath or a minimalist belt carry, every detail is crafted to match the knife and its intended use. Add a custom sheath to the knife that I forge for you, or commission one for a knife you already own. Contact me for pricing and details.
