Sheaths

Every knife gets a sheath that fits it

Leather or Kydex, drawn from the blade you just made. Change the knife and the pattern follows.

  • Stitch line at the distance you choose
  • Every hole marked, for a diamond chisel or a round awl
  • Welt, fold line and belt loop
  • Hole count, thread length and the leather to buy
