leather for Western W66?

[Barry H]

A buddy of mine gave me a very used and pitted Western W66. I'm in the process of bringing it back to life...........
It needs a sheath, though.
Anybody know where I can find a reasonable facsimile?

Thanks in advance!

There are some inexpensive sheaths on the big river site, or you could get someone like Horsewright to make you one.

I think it’s against the rules. Go to Google or whatever your search engine is and type in fixed blade sheaths.

Sometimes you can find originals on eBay for not to bad of a price.

I have used these as a replacement sheath for vintage fixed blades I have found and restored that did not have a sheath. Not bad for the money ($11). Look around on the site under sheaths they have many options for replacement sheaths.

This is one of my knives (Imperial Sportsman) with the sheath in the top link. These are good replacement for vintage fixed blade knives by Western, Imperial, Utica and Shrade Walden.

I asked once how to "fix" a sheath. They said you don't.
