A leather knife sheath protects the blade edge, protects the carrier from an exposed edge, and lets a fixed-blade knife be carried on a belt. Our sheaths are hand-stitched from full-grain leather and sized to fit most 4-6 inch fixed blades, matching the knives sold throughout this catalog.

To choose a leather knife sheath, start with fit: match it to your blade length and handle width so the knife seats fully and stays secure without being forced. Our sheaths are sized for most 4-6 inch fixed blades. Full-grain leather is the strongest layer and holds its shape, and hand-stitched seams along the edge side resist cutting through and can be repaired.

To care for a leather sheath, keep it dry, let it air out if it gets wet, and condition it occasionally with a leather balm. Avoid storing a knife in its sheath long-term in humid conditions, since leather holds moisture against carbon-steel and Damascus blades.
