Custom Leather Recommendation
« on: May 27, 2009, 12:13:00 PM »
I am about to begin making a couple of knives with the Helle blades. I would like to have sheaths made for them and have sheaths built into a back quiver. Will someone recommend a good leathersmith for custom sheath work?

Jantz sells pre-made sheaths also and there are some pre-made ones on the auction website. Wish I could help...just too far behind on my own right now! LOL! Good luck!

Do you want them built into an existing quiver, or new quiver.

MikeG should be able to do it, though he's not overly fond of doing knife sheaths.  A simple, typical Helle pouch sheath built into his hunter's pouch should be easy on him though, and avoids what he doesn't like about sheaths.  DON'T tell him I sent you!!  :D

Depending on what you're thinking I'd be able to do it as well, though you'd be limited to the hides I have on hand now - I'm overstocked due to a shipping error and can't buy more until I move some of this out.
