Leather and Kydex combo Sheaths

[Joey Blades]

Who here likes the looks of leather but the retention of kydex like I do? I am a huge fan of tight kydex inserts in a nice leather sheaths. Apparently they are hard to come by on the regular. So I ask you, my mateys; What makers you recommend? and if you have photos of your favorite sheaths please share!


Have fun!

I've never made a sheath like that and don't know much about them. My leather sheaths hold the knives very well.

I just stitched up a Carothers DEK1 leather sheath that I'm working on. I'm also working on a DEK1 sheath for my son. I'm painting a skull and flames on it.

Thanks, Joey. I just finished it a while ago. A new leather hammer that I have had a reaction to something in the Pro-Carv and left the black spots on the right-side belt slot. But It's mine so I decided not to scrap it.

Roselli's leather sheaths come with a plastic liner. The leather is thin with slots instead of a belt loop so I made new ones out of heavier latigo saddle leather with a proper belt loop using the original leather as a pattern, but kept the inserts.
