Sheath needed (scabbard)

[jimdana1942]

I need a sheath (I guess that' what you call it) for my knife. It is a doozie of a knife with a deer horn handle, carbon steel blade razor sharp. Blade is 10 1/2 long, 1 1/2 wide, not quite 1/4 thick, overall length with handle is 16 inches.

Appreciate any info on where I can get one. Needs to be heavy duty as the blade tapers towards the tip and is very sharp. Thanks

for a good fit, I think they are normally formed around the blade. You might need to give it to someone to make you one.

Do you think I could find one at a gun show?

No .

You can find someone to make you one at the gun show. It will not be instant though

The LA Ren Fest is coming up. There's a few sword makers there that make leather sheaths. If you bring the knife they will make one to fit it. Its more expensive than kydex but will come out great.

Try Smoky Mountain Knife Works online, they have a good selection of sheaths from $2-10.

If you are gonna get a "real one" with nice leather and a first class job, it will NOT be cheap. See if you can find a cobbler in your area to make you one. "Back home" I got some holsterwork done by a cobbler. They will usually dabble with small items (and something that can be quickly formed), but if you want a leather craftsman to fabricate something to specs that requires intricate skill and design, you are gonna pay out the wazoo. You will be stunned.

I use a Spec-Ops brand Combat Master sheath for my Steve Woods Hide Fighter.

Your blade is longer than mine but the rest of the dimensions are about the same. They have the Basic Modular Knife sheath which holds up to an 8" blade and perhaps you could fit something to cover the exposed 2" of blade that's left.
