Sheaths for Hartsook Knives

Dave, Last year, after the first PCS you made for me – for a Surefire E1B Backup and Leatherman Juice S2 – I wrote how I looked forward to using you for my next project. Well, having received my second PCS – for a Surefire T1A Titan and Leatherman Juice S2 – I was not disappointed. The prior PCS set up could be a tad bulky with certain trousers, so I decided to incorporate a smaller flashlight. Like its sibling, it is a beautiful example of Old World hand-crafted excellence. And, as when I received its sibling, I cannot be happier. Now I have a “casual” PCS and “formal” PCS. Everyone should be so lucky. The color is also a perfect match with the card wallet you made along with my prior PCS. Thanks again, and keep up the great work. Until next time. Very Sincerely, Michael

“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, 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

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

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, Bill

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

 

I needed some custom leatherwork created for some items I carry on my person on a day to day basis. I researched possible options within my own country (the UK) and drew a blank. This led me to looking further afield and thus finding David at Dragonthorn Leatherworks. I have today received the items David was contracted to produce and I must say I couldn’t be more delighted with how they’ve turned out. I am a very difficult person to please but the work really is faultless. I’m now actively trying to think of other uses for David’s excellent skills! Additionally it should be noted: David made great efforts to understand the brief given and wrote very concise email correspondence detailing some superb ideas relating to the work. I can’t recommend Dragonthorn Leatherworks highly enough and … Read more

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.

“Wanted to thank you again for the incredible work. I spent over a year looking for the right person to build my set of three matching tool sheaths. As a designer for film and television I’ve become accustomed to working with some of the finest crafts people and trades in the world. Your eye for meticulous detail and careful design shone through right from the start. Seeing the work on your site made it clear your were the person for the job! These are three items that I carry with me and wear almost everyday. You built them like old friends ready to stand the test of time. Looking forward to owning them forever and always the next piece.  Sincerely,  Jay”

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
