Kydex and Sheepskin Lined Sheath

Kydex and Sheepskin Lined Sheath, …say what? I know, here I go again. I was contacted by a customer in California that had just purchased a Busse Combat Sarge 7. Now, as this is a $400.00 plus dollar knife the customer wanted a really nice piece of leather to show it off with, plus a way to keep it very well protected. Hence a combination leather, kydex and sheepskined lined piece of work.

The outer leather shell of the sheath is constructed of 4-5 oz. Horsehide that has been dyed a medium cognac brown and is finished with Atom Wax. There is an attached loop for a Swedish Firesteel Army model. The belt loop is designed for a high hip carry on the right side or can be used for a left side cross draw. The edges have been hand burnished to a very high polish. Inside the sheath is a 2mm Kydex shell that is lined with sheep skin. The sheepskin is impregnated with renwax to condition the blade as drawn and to allow for a completely silent draw. The Kydex has been molded to create an indent at the base of the knife handle to firmly hold the knife in place. Simple huh. Nope, complicated to make but beautiful in its execution. This kydex lining design can be created for any sheath knife. The indent in the kydex to secure the knife tighter in the sheath totally depends on the knife design itself. However, many forms of attachment can be had so don’t feel left out if an indent wont work with your particular blade. This sheath model starts at $250.00 and goes up from there. Call me, we’ll chat about it. DH

Slip Sheath

A Slip Sheath is a simple yet elegant way to show off a knife that you may not carry often. This particular sheath was made for a knife created by Russell Gale, Custom Woodworker in Asheville, NC. Russell contacted me a while back as he was looking for a custom knife sheath maker to create a sheath for a knife he made for a customer in New Jersey. After communicating with the customer this is what we came up with. It is a simple slip sheath made of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned tooling leather dyed a dark brown. The sheath is lined with red pigskin and the edges have been lightly dyed in order to show off the layering of the blade spacer and filet. I use vegetable tanned tooling leather quite often as it dyes well, molds very well and edges smoothly. This particular sheath design starts at $150.00.

If you would like to see some exquisite custom wood work please visit Russell’s we page here. Russell and I communicate from time to time as we both are craftsmen from North Carolina and enjoy talking and collaborating. I hope to work with Russell on a few other projects so stay tuned. The customer for this particular piece must like our work as she has ordered a custom document envelope and is awaiting the new iPad mini so she can order a custom iPad mini portfolio. DH

Butterfly Knife Sheath’s

If you’re going to carry a Butterfly Knife you really should carry it in something like this. 4-5oz. tooling leather, saturated with neatsfoot oil to keep it supple and protected. The clip is a spring steel holster clip covered in leather. I made this one for a gentlemen in South Florida that likes to jog. He needed it as slim as possible for concealment and designed not to fall out of his pocket or off of his jogging shorts. He also requested that I carve a logo of his choosing into the front side. Base price for this sheath is $135.00 w/o the leather covered clip. I’ll cover it like this for an additional $25.00. As always as it’s custom, any color, leather or additional tweaks are available. Just let me know and I’ll figure it out. DH

Custom Leather Knife Sleeve developed specifically for the Hartsook Talon2©. This sheath was modified and developed for a knife maker friend of mine, Doug Hartsook. Doug is a phenomenal knife maker and his work has come a long way from his days making knives in shop in high school. I have done quite a few sheaths for Doug’s knives and you will find them featured as we move forward with this website.

As the Talon2© is only 4.5″ long, this sheath lends itself to an easy belt carry. This particular sheath is fitted with a titanium clip that is unfortunately no longer available (I am in process of developing a Dragonthorn Leatherworks custom titanium clip to replace it). In the meantime I can fit a standard belt holster spring clip and cover it in leather if preferred. As well, I can design and build this sheath for a horizontal carry vs. a vertical one as in the original design. This sheath is made out of 3-4oz. black oil tanned leather and the top is covered with Iguana hide. The edges are well burnished to a high shine and complement the sheath and knife very well. Variations to this leather sheath/sleeve are too numerous to mention here. Suffice to say, any combination of leather type, color and lining are available. Base price for his sheath is $125.00. DH
