Dave, I got the sheath, and I could not be more pleased. I freaking LOVE this thing… the workmanship — quality, fit, and finish — is simply outstanding. I love it. It’s not only a seriously badass sheath, but it’s also a really beautiful piece of art. I would have emailed you earlier, but whenever I get a spare moment in the house I’ve been sneaking up to my office (I work from home) to fondle it. It was a joy to work with you on this, and I’m looking forward to the next one. I have all kinds of ideas for a followup to this guy, but until the time comes for that I’ll be enjoying the hell out this amazing piece. Best, Jon
A few weeks ago Dave Hauser of Dragonthorn Leatherworks contacted me to ask if I would be interested in reviewing his PCS. What is a PCS you ask? It stands for Pocket Carry System and if you like keeping your EDC (everyday carry) items organized, you’re going to appreciate his design skills and craftsmanship. Less than 2 weeks later, I received the PCS in the mail. When I took it out of the package, I was immediately impressed by the quality. It’s very apparent that Dave knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to leather work.
If you’re in need of a custom holder for your gear, you’ll enjoy working with Dave and enjoy the resulting PCS even more. Julie Strietelmeier, The-Gadgeteer.Com
Dave, I wanted to express my gratitude to you for the amazing bag you made me! It is exactly what I wanted and I have been getting so many complements on it (I love that). You listened to what I was looking for and you understood even the crazier requests like a designated place for my lip gloss and camera. I was also very impressed by the overall quality of the bag; it is very obvious that no corners were cut. This is not a light bag by any means being 99% Leather (1% thread and accents) but it is surprisingly light on my shoulder and very comfortable. Sorry to gush but I just couldn’t be happier. Thanks again! Best of Luck, Aliyah Prontaut, Realtor/Broker
It is said silence is the talkative messenger’s of Joy. When I opened my box and unwrapped the PCS I was speechless. “Like a good friend Dave Hauser will acompany you when you go shopping, advising, suggesting, and proposing new ideas makes the process of ordering leatherwork from Dragonthorn a unique experience. While some custom makers will be sloppy offering options or just communicating; it almost felt like I was in the lab room, seeing step by step my PCS being assembled. Now in my pocket, I feel no bulk or discomfort while carrying my basic EDC kit. Only problem: I keep taking it out to admire it … Thanks Dave, you’re a gentleman and a rare and highly skilled craftsman .” Imrann Bana, Paris, France
Dave, Man, you keep on doing the good stuff! Thanks so much for your recent work on my two custom sheaths. Your original design for the Hartsook Skinner is outstanding and really makes that knife. Our collaboration on the Gerber Boot Knife Sheath exceeds my expectations. Let us not forget all the fine work you’ve done for me in the past. Keep on stitchin’! Quality is quality. Thanks again, Buck Early
Dave, I received my case and I just wanted to thank you! The craftsmanship is amazing and I can tell you take great pride in your work. You have exceeded my expectations. Thanks again, Tom
I worked as a wilderness instructor for one of the most professional programs for learning differenced youth in United States. As a professional wilderness instructor and first responder I beat the hell out of my gear. And the sheath you made for me took a pounding and came back for more. Greg Porter, Professional Wilderness Guide
“The power of Google got me in touch with Dave, and his pride in his craftsmanship and dedication to his customers got me to become one. He made sure everything was covered and was completely open to my idea’s which resulted in a sheath that fit all my needs and performed exactly how it was needed. I can tell it will last a lifetime and be passed down to my son at some point. I would recommend his work to anyone and will rely on his ability’s for all my leather needs going forward.” Mike Bachinski, West Virginia
Dave, as a collector of one of a kind custom made knives, I am also hooked on one of a kind sheaths to carry my knives. I am pleased with your work, do not think I could find anyone that would work with me on ideas as you have to create the leather to match the knife. This gives both the knife and the sheath personality. Thanks and continue to create. Marion “Shoe” Shoemaker
