Knife Sheath

[durulz]

OK everyone, need some help.
I have a good knife and I want a good sheath to go with it (the one supplied was pretty crap).
Anyone know where I can get a leather sheath from? The blade is 6.25" long and 1.5" at its widest.
Prefer not to spend too much, so a bespoke sheath may be out of the question. Would love to make my own, but the cost for tools and materials would be a waste when the first one I make will probably be not too good.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Cheers.

www.brisa.fi is where most people go for stuff like that, but the last time I went there they had put in a minimum order value of something daft like £25.

www.attacc.com is the only one in in the uk I know of.

I got a sheath for a knife with a 5" blade complete with fire steel loop and fire steel, off ebay payed £22, so there is something out there, just takes a bit of searching for.

The only thing you need to buy is some leather, needle and thread, and maybe a stitch wheel. If you give leprevo a call they will help you out with the above bits for probably around £20 ish. To make the stitch holes you just need something sharp and pointy or a cheap awl from a hardware shop will only set you back a £1 or so. This will start you off with kit you need to make a nice sheath of your own. I think its best to learn how to make them your self as you will probably in time need to repair your own or make other things such as axe sheathes or upgrade your multi tool sheath etc.

Good luck.

Dougster here on the forum makes great sheaths.
