During one of my countless searches for new knife designs and ideas, I ran across this neat sheath. Anyone know what it's made of?

Looks like leather someone molded into a gator pattern.
Not sure,but I'd like to see the knife too.
I'd have to guess molded leather. It doesn't look quite like any reptile scale patterns I've ever seen.
yup im with rob on that one
Carp
Looks like my Boa, boots!!
I thought it looked like carp too...but I've never seen finished carp have such dramatic texture. I would think leather would be awfully hard to tool that randomly and with so many contours/depths...could be wrong.
I've sent an email to the maker to see if he'll tell me. I'll let you guys know if I find out. Whatever it is, it's cool looking stuff.
First, I thought ostrich leg skin ... but the scales looks like fish skin ... maybe "Niles's bass" (not sure of the name in american ???) "perche du Nil" in french.
pangolin
Gater penile skin
I'm pretty sure it's just tooled leather.
