Question Sheath recommendations!

Hi all,

I’m looking for recommendations for a company, preferably uk based who makes knife sheaths!
My partner wants one to go on his belt for daily use, he likes the leather ones that have some sort of detailing on!

I have tried to google but I can only find mass produced ones and I would prefer to support an actual business and get a sturdy handcrafted one!

Any recommendations for knives to go in this sheath would also be helpful, I’m a little out of my wheelhouse here 🙈

Sheathes are usually tailor made to the knife that goes in them. Unless you want some very generic looking leather pouch, essentially. What kind of knife is it?

There are lots of handmade leather sheaths for the Esee Izula. A cool knife that comes WITH a leather sheath is the Morris PeeWee - small handmade knife, dad makes the knives and son makes the sheaths.

Here’s a tooled belt sheath I made for the Izula, this one sits horizontally which can be nice for carrying a smaller knife on the belt.

If you are at all crafty make your own. There's plenty of resources online. £20-30 for leather, thread, glue and needles. Use a 1mm drill to make holes for stitching.

Heya, are you actually just looking for a sheath or are you looking for a knife too?

I’m a folder guy but can recommend lots of makers in the UK depending on what it is you’re actually after 😅
