HOLSTERS, SHEATHS, & SCABBARDS

These are built for a specific purpose.  Fit, retention, and function matter just as much as durability—so each piece is made with how it will actually be used in mind.  Whether it’s a holster, sheath, or scabbard, it will be built to hold up and work the way it should.

Most of these builds are custom.  That means they’re made specifically for the firearm or knife they’ll be used with, rather than adapting a generic pattern.  Each one is shaped, fitted, and finished based on how it needs to perform.


HOLSTERS:  Holsters are built using your actual firearm as part of the process.  I create the pattern and form the leather directly to it to ensure proper fit and retention.



Because of how they’re made, each holster is specific to that firearm.

KNIFE SHEATHS:  Knife sheaths are built in a similar way.  The knife itself is used during the process so the finished sheath fits correctly and functions the way it should.



Each one is made with how it will be carried and used in mind.

SCABBARDS:  Scabbards are typically more custom builds.  They’re designed around how they’ll be used—whether that’s mounted in a vehicle, carried on equipment, or used in the field.  Layout and attachment points (and straps) are worked out ahead of time for each oneBecause of that, every one of these ends up a little different depending on the setup.

MATERIALS & BUILD:  I primarily use full-grain vegetable-tanned leather for these projects.  This type of leather allows the piece to be shaped and formed correctly, while still holding up over time.  Edges are finished by hand, and attention is given to areas that see the most wear.  The goal is a piece that functions properly first—and continues to hold up with regular use.

HOW TO ORDER:  Most of these builds are handled directly.  Holsters are typically built using your actual firearm, so those are handled in person.  For knife sheaths and some other projects, items can be shipped if needed.  If you’re local, you’re welcome to reach out and set up a time to go over details.

PRICING:  Because these are custom builds, pricing varies depending on the setup.  Most projects fall into a higher range due to the time involved and the materials used.  If you’d like to discuss a specific build, feel free to reach out and I can walk through options.


These aren’t built in batches.  Each one is made to fit a specific purpose… and built to last.  If you have something in mind, I’m always open to talking through it.
