manthing Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Does any one have a contact for a leather worker? I have a really nice Bowie type knife that needs a new sheath, and don't know where to start looking. had the knife for about 25 yrs so have become quite attached to it and want to keep using it. awaiting your dozens of replies with baited breath. regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDF Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Make it yourself Have a look at the leather work section on british blades. I'm planning on making one soon (ish). Edited August 31, 2008 by HDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill.p Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I do a bit of leatherwork. To make one would be straightforward. But to look any good you would need a couple of basic tools. IE a stitching gouge and stitching wheel to get the stich spaces equal. A couple of copper rivets at the top and Bobs your uncle. A couple of hours work when you get the hang of it. If you cant get sorted PM me Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I made one, as it came as part of a knife kit I bought, if you don't fancy that have a look at Attleborough Accessories site they have some ready made ones on there - or take Phill up on his offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
