    Question Knife Sheaths

    Hi guys
    Received my new knives (fixed blade- 3" and a 5") and Im looking to sheath both of them. I've looked in JHB but I have had no real luck with any of the standard shops selling sheaths at all.

    The online shop (blades and fantasies)have a large selection but it seems they are no longer running as they don't respond to emails/phone calls....?

    So any suggestions for places that sells sheaths(or possibly making custom ones)..?

    Thanks
    Zen

    I second that - he made me an excellent sheath for my Kabar TDI. I searched long and hard for a sheath maker in JHB but to no avail.

    By the way, Blades and Fantasies have an actual shop in Heathway Centre so don't just rely on their online presence.

    Sorry - I made an error in my earlier post. Blades and Triggers is in Heathway Centre. Blades and Fantasies is online and do not have a physical shop.

    Having said that, I did buy some Maxpedition equipment from Blades and Fantasies online last year and they were up and running at the time. The guy did mention that he had a job and was doing the web-store part time. Perhaps he is just a little slow in getting to it.

    Thanks. Martins work is beautiful. I love how he combines kydex and leather. When Im earning a bit more one day I definitely get him to make me one for my grail knife :D At the moment I bought some leather and I'm giving it a go at making my own sheaths. It's quite fun and not nearly as hard as I initially though :)

    Couldn't afford the leather kydex combo sheath but got a kydex instead for my Izula from Martin Swickels. Really happy with it!
