All of OUR Tools are made from the very best Carbon, Damascus, Laminated, Semi Stainless or Stainless Steel. With handles or scales to compliment the style of the steel blank and hand sewn wet moulded sheaths that are purely to our patterns and designs. Costs range from £75-£800 for a complete item including sheath.

Our materials are sourced from sustainable areas of the world, such as the UK, America, Scandinavia, Africa and Australia. We use coloured Vulcanised Fibre, Acrylics, Brass, Nickel Silver, Moose, Woolly Mammoth, Reindeer Antler spacers and caps, with different types of bolsters that add extra style.

We have plenty of UK woods standing in planks as well as Micarta and Acrylics in sheet form, ready to be used, so handle sizes are not a problem.
Every tool and its components are gathered and matched at the time of making, together with an individually hand sewn and wet moulded vegetable tanned leather sheath. There will be some slight variation in the design and no two units will be quite the same.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE
We are always coming up with new ideas and shapes using the very latest materials and techniques with over 140 tools in our collection.

Sheath Blank Kit 3 Left Handed Version

EHK-SK3

Sheath Blank Kit 3 Left Handed Version EHK-SK3

£15.00



Fits blades 110-120mm.x 20mm

The kit consists of a pre-marked 3mm Veg tanned leather blank with stitching holes defined and the inside has been prepared to help with the folding of the leather.

A belt loop is also supplied with two rivets that enables the user to decide if left or right-handed use if required.

Some basic instructions:

1. Rivet the belt loop in the desired position.

2. Enlarge the pin pricks with an awl to allow the needles to pass through easily.

3. Soak the sheath in some warm water for about 5 minutes.
This will make the leather very soft and supple.

4. Start sowing from the tip when you reach the top sew back a few stitches to hold it all tight.

5. Wrap your knife in cling film and gently work the knife into the sheath.
Then work with you fingers to mould the leather to take on the shape of your handle.

6. You can leave the leather in it's natural state. It will take on a patina that will darken with time, or
alternatively it can be dyed at this stage, but it's advisable to take the knife out before doing so.
Whatever you decide to do, the knife should only be left in the damp sheath for a couple of hours, then take it out carefully and if you can hang it in a warm place to harden.

These instructions will be included with your kit

£9.00

Size 228mm x 40mm x 9mm.

Indonesian Hardwood

The same tree as Sonokeling rosewood but having darker and heavier wood due to different growth conditions.

Indian rosewood is historically one of the main rosewoods of commerce and was traded alongside Brazilian rosewood for hundreds of years. Felling is now strictly controlled by the Indian government and logs are sold by auction to a small number of government approved bidders only. Export is also stritctly controlled by the Indian government to reinforce the value and precious nature of this timber so that it will remain available for a long time into the future.
