Sheath Maker Question

[Bigbore577]

Can anyone help me get in touch with Pugs or Wildmnah? I have that 8" Skinner I got a couple weeks back. I believe it to be a great field knife. Unfortunately, it has no sheath. I'm not looking for any exotic leather or tooling, just a well made, functional and HD sheath. I've emailed both with no reply. This seems to happen quite a bit through BF email for me and others. If anyone put me in contact with either one it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Can't find his email but wildmanh does beautiful work. I haven't seen him in a while, I hope he is well.

Thanks Dirtbiker, I checked out his samples as well as Pug's on the Sheath Maker sticky by Karda. Both do beautiful work. Hopefully, someone can assist. Many thanks.

I bought a knife from Pugs a while back and had him make a leather sheath for it. He does great work at a reasonable price and is easy to work with.

I have another knife that I got from a third party that came with a Wildmanh sheath. Very heavy duty; very well made.

Thanks David. From what I've seen of both their works, I agree 100% with your assessments. I'm old school and love leather accoutrements more than others. However, after a certain time frame you must consider cutting bait. While Kydex is not my first choice, I think he'd understand. At this point I think I'd rather give my business to a most attentive HI member that is more than willing to do so and in his youth could probably use the monies to more of a benefit. I tried to no avail with the others. Hopefully things will work out in the future.
