Flashblades16.5" long custom handmade leather sheath for 10"—10.5" blade boeie knife

It works well and is well made

The fit is ok, for a blade 9.5 to 10.". You can probably get another half inch in there. The quality is ok, it's not extremely heavy duty, but will get you by. I was a wilderness survival instructor, and some times you need an extra sheath. I will be trialing this sheath in the bush here shortly. I figured it will handle any basic camping or hunting trips. Great color, and nice style. You can carry it on your hip or rear carry. YES , I said it. Have any of you Geniuses figured out that the so called unnecessary straps allow you to rear carry the knife? I read that someone took the straps off. I guess it's all a matter of personal choice. Me, I think it's better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it. This way I can carry a side arm and other essentials on my belt.I trimmed down the straps, and purchased a sharpening stone to fit the pocket. It looks like I am ready to go.RMC

What I'd expect an item to made of when it's described

Wow.... I can't be happier. This fits my bowie like it always belonged to it. I took off the outside straps because they seemed alot more decorative then anything. And I am fully shocked on how well made this is for being less then $30. I wish it came in brown instead of just black but I'll be fine regardless. Fully robust and way sturdier then I could have imagined. Very very pleased.(My bowie is 15" long, blade being 10" from guard to tip, and at it's widest was 1.75". Fits so Good!)

This sheath seems like it's ornamental only, it's so poorly made. It won't hold up if you actually plan on using it instead of just using it for looking at, like on a knife display on a shelf or something. I just received it in the mail yesterday afternoon, and the stitching is coming undone after barely handling it. Speaking of handling it, every time I pick it up I get dye all over my hands. Lol Don't like the side straps? No problem, just give a good solid tug and they pull right off. And having other leather sheaths for many of the other knives that I own, I'd have to say the quality of the leather used is making this sheath is questionable in comparison. I was looking for a decent leather sheath for a nice old Bowie knife. Guess I'll have to keep looking. This ain't it.

I didn't realize the size i got this one to big for this project but i have made larger blades that this works well with

If you want a quick fix without waiting on or ordering a custom bowie sheath, this is it.Its a very solid Leather Bowie sheath for the price point. The leather and stitching seems to be of good quality. I did modify it tho, I cut the horizontal straps off. Number 1, they were way, way too long, overlapping to the back of the sheath. And number 2 they serve no purpose whatsoever, they made the sheath look sloppy. But all in all, this sheath worked out well, for my Coldsteel Leatherneck Bowie. Which has a 10.5 inch long blade, that is 1.5 inches wide.

The sheath was the perfect fit for my knife, a 9in blade and the handle of 4 in.
