Knife makers, leather craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts can turn out a custom leather sheath that fits their knife with these leather knife sheath making kits. Each complete kit supplies everything required to build a durable, professional-quality sheath tailored to your specific knife. Because every handmade knife has its own dimensions, building the sheath yourself ensures precise fit, retention and appearance for that particular knife.
Cut from 8–9 ounce top-grain cowhide leather and proudly made in the USA, each kit offers exceptional durability and long-lasting performance. Pre-cut leather components simplify the build, and you still finish, shape, stitch and personalize the sheath to your own preferences. A belt loop is built into the design, so once assembled the sheath is clean, functional and ready for everyday carry.
These kits are ideal for trailing point and Persian skinner-style blades up to 6.0 inches long, and they make an excellent companion for the Arctic Skinner Knife Kit as well as many other custom knives of similar size. Several leather colors are offered, and every kit includes the essential tools and materials for the project, plus printed and video instructions that walk you through the process.
For a first sheath project or a handcrafted finishing touch on your newest custom knife, the kits offer an easy route to a sheath that looks great and performs for years to come.
