I'm wondering if we can get a master list of all the active sheathmakers on this forum. Leather, Kydex, and nylon. It would make a nice "one stop shop" for those looking for a good sheath.

Now we can go with different categories like custom and production and what they specialize (if any) in.

I can update this post as y'all chime in with the required fields:
Name (forum and real name if possible)
Company (if any)
Location
Contact info: e-mail, website, etc..
type of work: leather, kydex, nylon, all of the above...

You dont have to be a professional to be on the list, just be willing to do work when its requested.

Mods If this is cool to do then were good to go, if its not khosher then I'll lock er down. :)

So far so good, we will keep it in this current format unless it starts to get muddied up with commentary :D :D

Gary's list of leather benders inspired this thread, so its his fault if I done a bad thing. ;) :p

Custom one of a kind leather goods only - I specialize in frontier (pre-1900) styles especially fancy beaded pieces, but can and have pretty much done it all - plain, carved, inlays, and other specialty styles (e.g.) neo-tribal styles.
All hand made/sewn. I also do knife displays and frontier/old west gun leather.

experience: 47 years and counting....(if Pops M ever stops I might even catch-up ;)
backlog: always - currently 10-11 months...

Custom leather currently limited to knife sheaths only.
Carved, stamped, inlays, overlays, folder pouches, fixed blade pouches, blade sheaths, vertical, horizontal or angle carry.
Due to order load, turn around can be as long as two weeks, but generally is 48 hours or less from receipt of the knife in my shop.

No web site. Pictures can be emailed on request

I do leather sheathes for custom and production knives and can sometimes be persuaded to do other things. I might even to willing to rehandle a knife or two.

Usually my turn around is less than a week.
