Recommendation? Sheath for 6” curved Victorinox boning knife

[Fastleo151]

I have quite a few of these in the fibrox and in the rosewood. They get used for everything. I recently decided I’d like to get a few sheaths for them and all I’m finding is sheaths for non curved boning knives. I actually bought the ones recommended by victorinox and I’m not happy with them. I’m looking for suggestions on what to try next. 6” victorinox semi flex curved boning knives in fibrox and rosewood.

Agreeing with this. You'll almost never find good production sheathes for kitchen/chef cutlery. Kydex is probably the best for something like this. A company called "Bearded Butchers" that makes this kydex model for the 6" curved rosewood model -

.

If you don't like that one, there are a lot of options a good kydex sheather could make.

Do you want to carry them or protect them?

My dad made sheaths for his field use kitchen knives by heating and squeezing pvc pipe.

That’s a interesting idea.

I’m thinking you’re right. I’ll try to find some one and go this route.

This the kind of deal were you will spend more on the sheath than the knife. But the sheath will outlast several knives.

I did that with my Dexter Russel net knives.

Yes sir, thank you. I would build what I call a Slip Sheath for such a knife. Here's some I did for a set of steak knives recently:

And a couple for some Green River knives:

The curve can be accommodated:

That would be perfect. How do I get ahold of you?

Kinda a funny deal. Literally a couple hours after posting this a semi local guy shows up at the house. Now iI knew he was coming as he wanted to order a couple of holsters but he also un rolled a piece canvas while here and had four very nice hand made kitchen knives that he wanted sheaths for. I showed him these pics n this thread. I’ll be starting on his Slip Sheaths today. Further coininkydinkness on this deal. When Logan, the young man arrived to place his order, I was on the phone with my son who cowboys up on Oregon, who is also named……Logan.
