Just so happens I know a guy who makes rawhide sheaths Wulf!

Always beautiful. I cannot afford Daniel Winklers knives and Karen Shook's sheaths, but I have picked up a few really nice pieces from Matt Lesniewski and J Neilson (all traded or sold off in the hunt for other sharp tings). Great idea for a thread.
