here's a wicked good sheath by Matthew Gregory;








The sheath is configured for inside the waistband, and is pretty comfortable to wear.
Safety-wise, the harder you push the knife into the sheath, the more secure it is.
The micro fiber liner is very smooth and quiet.

A well designed sheath will determine whether a straight knife gets carried or not, and in the case of this knife, I like having it on my belt because the sheath wants to be there.

I highly recommend Matt Gregory as an all around great knife maker. He thinks things through and does a hell of a good job when it comes to precision and design.

Kris, that new one for the Anderson JS knife is wonderful. The knife is great, the sheath is great, as a package it is outstanding.

Lovely tooling on that Claude Scott sheath, the knife is lovely too.

It was nice seeing Russ Andrews set up at ICCE in Kansas City. I also met Jack Andress at the show. After picking up this nice Cru Forge V stag hunter from Russ, I learned there was a Texas sheath maker with a table full of sheaths in the room. Here is Jack's lined sheath I paired with Russ' hunter. Jack makes a great sheath.

Look forward to sharing this new package with some wildlife this fall.

Congratulations on scoring that great knife and sheath Joe. I will admit to my jealousy when you let me see this at KC. I hope it gets lots of use this fall.

Lorien: Matt really does a nice job on his sheaths IMO, I especially like how he lines them.

Kris: Very nice, carving extremely well done.

Parfums95: I don't believe I've ever seen that type 'folder sheath', but I like it. Who is the sheathmaker?

Joe: Fine knife-sheath set-up, I've admired that one since Russ posted it up on Chris's show thread. Thanks for adding Jack Andress' work to the mix here. He obviously does fine work.
The primary reason I started this thread was so that collectors would have a place to be exposed to as many sheathmakers and examples of their work as possible when needing a sheath for a knife.

Three sheats made by me. I hope you like them.

Kyle Gahagan JS does beautiful sheathwork to go along with his fine knives as demonstrated here:


Jeff Baker creates a very functional and hard use sheaths as demonstrated here. This one offers two carry options, dangle or belt loop carry and a place to store fire starter:

Now for something a little out side the box. This was the wife's idea. She likes to carry a small fixed blade but most of the time doesn't wear a belt. We are ranchers so she does use a knife on a daily basis. She came up with this idea for a beltless sheath and then we kind of ran with it. About 8 prototypes later we finally got the pattern dialed in.

Looks like this when she's in the saddle.
