Leatherworker out there?

[Stephen Conkie]

Hi guys. Hope this is the right subforum for this request. I'm looking to have a sheath or two made and wondering who/where to go to and how much I might be charged for one? Not looking for anything at all fancy, just nice and thick leather with a natural feel to it.

Have a look in the "Makers" section under members market.

There are a few people worth trying - Rancid Badger, Rapid Boy, Dougster or Myself. Depends what your after?

Cheers Richard

Its really just one for my Victorinox Forester (110mm I think and 3layers and one for my EDC, which will either be my A.Wright Clip-point or my T. Ablett Sheepfoot...they'll probably be intechangeable in the same sheath- I know the A. Wright one is 90mm and "2 layers thick" if we're working on SAK measurements. Std sheath, stud-fastened with a belt-loop. Got pics and prices? PM me if you have the time.

I'm sure all those listed will do a lovely job. Also though think about Topknot - he made me a couple of small pouches - both were stunning-

Looks good, Red, though maybe a bit ornate for me...I'd be scared of getting that one wet/dirty/damaged!

His work is tough as boots - I use a piece of it to strop my knives on

Stephen,

Sorry I thought you ment fixed blade knives, my skills aren't quite up to making cases/pouches that small

But I'm sure someone on here will be able to sort you out.
