I have 3 knives I need sheathes made for - the bottom 3 knives in the photo. I want the sheath to be similar to the one in the photos - except to leave about 2" of handle exposed. The one in the photo makes it a little difficult to grab hold of. Basically a simple sheath made from heavy leather with enough friction to retain the knife. I also want it to have a gusset so the knife cant slice the stitching.

If anyone knows a good maker I would sure appreciate some contact info for them.

Thanks

Look at www.rowesleather.com
I looked for some time before having him make me some sheaths. His attention to detail and overall workmanship is excellent. His prices and delivery time is very good. Just tell him what you want and he will do it.

Those pouch sheaths are about the simplest to make of all types. Almost any good saddle/leather shop should be able to whip you out what you want in short order.

BTW Rowe does make good sheaths.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

The good news: I could do it pretty inexpensively.
The bad news: I'd really need your knives, or at least some detailed measurements of them.

I got an awesome sheath from Bob Schrap a few years ago. He is very good at what he does and a very nice guy.
