For Custom Leather Knife SheathI am very happy with the product, the knife sheath is made very well and I only wish the closing button was like the one I seen on the add... but I can live with it the way it is. The craftsmanship is nothing short of excellent, anyone looking for a quality leather sheath for their knife will not go wrong with one made by Erland Reyna.

For Classic Leather Knife SheathThe finished sheath was of the highest quality and craftsmanship. I absolutely could not be happier with the outcome. Erland was easy to work with and I would highly recommend his shop. I plan on having one more sheath made and wouldn't even consider another shop.

For The Duke – Minimalist Leather WalletWe had the wallet inscribed with Grandpa and my step father loved it! It arrived so fast and the detail along with quality was outstanding. I highly recommend working with Erland.
Charles Stroud
For Classic Leather Knife SheathIt was a pleasure to work with Erland. His attention to detail is exceptional. While creating the knife sheath he noticed that the back had dried and could potentially crack. I appreciate his high standards and commitment to quality.

For Classic Leather Knife SheathERLAND MADE A CUSTOM SHEATH FOR MY BOWIE (blade length 9in.) AND A MATCHING HATCHET SHEATH. HE COMPLETELY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. THE WORKMANSHIP IS OUTSTANDING. THE QUALITY OF THE LEATHER IS OUTSTANDING, BUT WHAT RAISES HIS WORK ABOVE AND BEYOND IS THE ARTISTRY. WITHOUT QUESTION ERLAND IS AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL, HARD WORK.- GEORGE.

Damend Evans
For Leather Knife Sheath -Horizontal Back MountedThis has to be one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. Strong horse is a pleasure to deal with and an excellent craftsman. Through email we constructed a custom sheath for my tops knife that is as brilliant as the knife is. Strong horse cares deeply to create a product that is perfect for his customer. This is obvious to me. Can't beat his rates either for what you get. I will be doing business with him again.
Shane Savage
For Dragon Skin - Vertical Knife SheathErland and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He kept me updated throughout the project and his communications were excellent. Most of all, the sheaths he made for me are some of the most stunning leather craftsmanship I have ever seen. These are not just pieces of leather, they are unbelievable works of art. Thank you Erland!
David Testa
For Leather Knife Sheath -Horizontal Back MountedThe sheath is gorgeous! I ordered the Buck Reaper knife with a Viper textured handle from Amazon and had trouble finding the kind of leather sheath that was durable, unique, and handmade in the USA. I stumbled around various websites and Facebook pages until I found Strong Horse Leather. I explained what I wanted, and Erland communicated in detail what he provided. I saw pictures of a similar sheath with excellent craftsmanship and liked what I saw. The price was reasonable, so I gave him a chance. This is the first time I've ever used Custommade or anything like it, so I was nervous at first. The entire experience was excellent, and I was reminded why contracting with an individual artist is so much more rewarding than a faceless corporation that mass produces leather products. When the product was finished, delivery was prompt. It is exactly like the pictures showed, very fine detailed engraving and color, excellent stitching (my favorite part). It is very very good. I have already recommended Strong Horse to my friends, and you will to yours as well. Thank you, David Testa
