Here are some I made for a fellow forumite who has purchased several knives from me in the past.

He bought the kitchen camper from me then ordered the other two. I held onto the knives until they were all done.

They are ready for shipping now.

Matt, those are beautiful! As well as your site, well done all around!
 
Matt what how did you finish the two natural looking sheaths? All of the knives and the sheaths look great. He should be very proud of them.
 
They are all three leather. The black one is dyed using vinegar and steel wool. It produces a certain acid that I cant remember the name of right now. It chemically reacts with the leather (or wood) and turns it black.

The other sheaths are just given a beeswax finish. No dye or stain at all.
