Thread: Leather Knife Sheath recommendations

Hi not sure if best place to post?
Ive got a Svord deluxe drop point that I’ve been using for a while and it came with the standard ugly sheath, can anyone recommend someone to possibly make me up a new quality snug fitting sheath that I can strap to my side and not have to worry about loosing my knife? Cheers

make your own..its not hard to do at all.
I get a piece of conduit pipe like plumbers use and heat it,flatten it over blade so snug fit that covers entire blade with no pointy bit sticking out, then fold a piece of leather over this leaving bottom piece about an inch too wide so it sticks out past top piece sort of like your upturned palm with thumb folded ontop...then stitch or bifuricated rivet edges together... cut too verticle slits in back of main bit for belt to thread through..and that sticky out bit..cut two smaller horizontal slits top and bottom and weave your steel through them.... it will sit flat against your hip and you can make it really deep so just top inch of handle pokes out..the beauty of the conduit pipe is the blade cannot cut its way out...a bit fiddly to poke knife back in but small price to pay for piece of mind.

Google "The Norseman Blacksmith" or look for him on Facebook, He's based in The Natural Clothing Store in Norsewood Southern Hawkes Bay.

A nasty looking but serviceable one can be made from fire hose in about 5 minutes

Do the heat shaped plastic pipe ( PN6 Polyethylene ) and then pull the skin of a deers lower leg over it to shrink and dry. Can look pretty stylish and unusual hair side out
