Fixed Blade Knife Slip Sheath

A Slip Sheath is a simple yet elegant way to show off a knife that you may not carry often. This particular sheath was made for a knife created by Russell Gale, Custom Woodworker in Asheville, NC. Russell contacted me a while back as he was looking for a custom knife sheath maker to create a sheath for a knife he made for a customer in New Jersey. After communicating with the customer this is what we came up with. It is a simple slip sheath made of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned tooling leather dyed a dark brown. The sheath is lined with red pigskin and the edges have been lightly dyed in order to show off the layering of the blade spacer and filet. I use vegetable tanned tooling leather quite often as it dyes well, molds very well and edges smoothly. This particular sheath design starts at $150.00. You will note in the last photo that this sheath is lined with red pigskin suede. Nice touch!

The customer for this particular piece must like our work as she has ordered a custom document envelope and is awaiting the new iPad mini so she can order a custom iPad mini portfolio. DH Check out all my creative leather items at https://dragonleather.net

Dragonthorn Leatherworks manufactures custom/bespoke leatherwork, one piece at a time, one stitch at a time. Our pieces are unique and attention to detail is paramount. I specialize in smaller leather items but build just about anything as long as it is important to you. Bags, briefs, cellphone cases, tablet cases, guitar straps, holsters, knife sheaths and such… You may order any of the pieces shown on Maker-Marketplace.com as well as any item shown on my website at https://dragonleather.net. I can make any item as you see it, customize it to your wishes or we can create something completely unique. Take a look at our work, give your ultimate leather dream some thought, then let me know, we'll build something special together.

Dragonthorn Leatherworks has been and remains as one of the premier global custom leather smiths since 1999. We have accomplished this through extreme attention to detail, world class customer service and, obviously, strong knowledge and skill. We are not inexpensive, nor do we rush through a project simply to get one off the bench in order to start another. True custom leatherwork is very unique and more of an art than a craft although both elements are combined in our work. Our communication levels during the construction of a project remain a strong suit of ours and may border on “way too much information”. However, in order to ensure that a customer receives precisely what they wish for it is necessary to communicate on a consistent basis and make you feel part of the team. I invite you to read the column "What is Custom Leatherwork” to better understand what custom leatherwork truly is. The brief article can be found on my website at this web address: https://dragonleather.net/custom-leatherwork/ Additional reviews may be read at https://dragonleather.net/testimonials/

Please feel free to look around the website and enjoy the many items we have developed for clients around the world. Take a read at the testimonials to see what these customers have to say about our work and working with us. Give us a shout if/when you have an idea you’d like to bounce off of us. You may be surprised at what we come up with. Thanks, Dave
