Title: need a custom sheathe made.....who?
Post by: RobinHood1389 on January 02, 2014, 09:59:00 AM
I'm in need of a custom sheathe. I have it all set in my head. I need to talk to someone who makes custom sheathes.
Who do you recommend? Kydex or leather is fine. Needs a pouch on the front, anna a sharpening stone on the back.
Thanks guys/gals.

That sounds a bit thick for a belt sheath. What did you have in mind? A sketch might generate a few responses.

Well currently I have a pouch glued to mine and a stone glued to the back. Works great, looks like poop! I wang a good looking sheathe. It isn't real heavy either (believe it or not)

That is just a fantastic set, Ken.
I really don't know of anyone who compares to Scott.

Bob Schrap in Wisconsin is outstanding when it comes to knife sheaths.  I've know him for over 30yrs, you will not be sorry.

Go to his website @ customsheaths.com

In fact, Bob made the sheath for the first knife I ever made.

Bob is even better now.  I was the resident sheath maker in Wisconsin for a long time until my arthritus slowed me down and I got Bob started who at the time was an outstanding woodcarver.

He's the founding father of the Badger Knife Club and has been president since mid eighties

Canyon Archery Traditions - J. Mike Baker just made a custom knife for me that matches the longbow he made for me and he hade a sheath as well. I am absolutely convinced that he would be able to craft you a sheath to the exact specifications you desire. If you will contact me, I will provide you with his contact information. dw4144@yahoo.com
