Leather sheaths for folders....

[zpaulg]

Any suggestions for makers of leather sheaths for folders. I prefer the option of vertical or horizontal carry......How about it? I don't mind paying premium prices for the right kit. Oh and must have a website which will post worldwide....Ta.

Does fantastic work. Gary Graley here on bladeforums also does excellent work.

I like leather but ran into a situation where it proved a liability. I bought a Buck Alpha folder for general outdoor carry. I got the pretty one with ATS-34, rosewood scales and a leather sheath. When I got out into the desert and got dirty, grit found it's way into the sheath and scratched the hell out of those nice wood scales. Now when I carry that knife it goes into a cordura sheath.

I second Lifter. He's a really great guy and does good work. Other people to look at are Gary Graley (if he's taking orders at the moment)- he and Lifter are both members here; and for high end kit: Kenny Rowe. Kenny's work is just fantastic. Leatherman here on the forums also does good, quality work.

Of those mentioned, I'm about to get a Graley sheath that looks pretty good, and I have a sheath by Lifter which is VERY well done. Hope this helps!

Seems I've posted this picture quite a bit recently. Here is a sheath for the Spydrdo Manix I had made by Vess Leather mentioned above by irabren. I had him tilt the sheath forward and also expose more of the knife for a faster, easier knife draw. I love it. I don't hardly know I'm carrying it and there is easy access to my pocket for another folder, if desired.
