7-Inch Handmade Leather Knife Sheath for 4-Inch Blades - Durable Custom Fit for Hunting, Camping & Outdoor Adventures

This item shipped very quickly. When I opened the package, the sheath was wrapped in bubble wrap and a plastic bag - sufficient enough for me. I carefully inspected the sheath and found it to be flawless. I was a salesman for quality knives for a few years and can recognize good quality merchandise when I see it. This sheath is hand made with excellent attention to detail with great craftsmanship! The leather is very heavy duty and selected to last many years. It appears to be genuine leather, but even if it's bonded, this sheath will last as long as I need it to. There's no obnoxious odor which would be a tell-tale give-away if it was bonded. I don't forsee it being roughed up in the wilderness much, so for urban carry, it'll be fine. The double stitching appears to be very secure and the outer stitch holds an edge spacer in place that will prevent the sharp edge of my knife from cutting through the stitches. The condition of the plain brass snap (no star) and rivet appears solid. This sheath fits my brand new Custom Field Knife PERFECTLY! My knife already came with a custom Kydex Sheath with a Tek Lock Clip, but I'm old school and love the feel of leather, hence my decision to search for a decent leather sheath. My knife slides in snuggly and if I ever forget to secure the snap, my knife will remain in it's sheath until I draw it out. EXCELLENT VALUE. If I were to guess what it's true retail value should be - I'd have to say about $30.00 conservatively. I have to admit that after reading the negative reviews, I did slightly hesitate, but only for a minute. IMO, everyone has a right to voice their opinion - if they're not familiar with items like this, they may not utilize them properly and leave a negative review. To ensure a knife will fit in a sheath correctly all you do is place it over the front of the sheath. Only if it falls within the parameters of the sheath should you insert your knife into it. NEVER SHOVE your blade into the sheath. If it doesn't fit with a gentle nudge, the sheath is too small and no shoving is going to improve that. Just return it and order a different one after you measure out your knife. Hope this helps. Personally, I am pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this item if you have a knife that fits it's dimensions.
