Leather
Leather is traditional for good reason. A well made leather sheath can last many years and enhances the beauty of a well made knife. The design of the sheath can show off the work you put into your knife and be a lot more than just a pouch to carry it.
The Sharpshooter Sheath Systems difference is in the details, starting with design and carrying through our choice of leather to the glue, stitching, hardware and edge finish. It's First Class or Scrap.
Cutting corners is a sure way of making a sheath that will fail your customer at the worst possible moment. Every sheath we make is both glued and machine stitched with polyester thread. Leave out the glue and the knife's edge will find it's way to the stitching and slice through it.
We only use top quality oak tanned leather vat dyed on BOTH SIDES before we treat the leather prior to cutting and assembly. I hate raw leather so all edges are "dressed" to guarantee a finished appearance. The body of every sheath receives the SHARPSHOOTER EDGE TREATMENT for a sleek appearance and long life.
Hardware can make or break a sheath so we use only the best fittings we can find including our exclusive "Snap Liner" that protects the blade from scratches that occur when the bare back of the snap is dragged along the blade.
If the sheath doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't deserve to carry YOUR work. The SHARPSHOOTER SHEATH SYSTEMS Team is empowered to reject any sheath during production to assure that what we ship you is the best sheath we can produce. Isn't that what you want to provide to your customers?
