Mannlicher Campfire Kahuna Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 67,678 N. Central Florida, and Miami	Larry Parsons is quite the leather guy. He has made me several of his pancake, tilted sheaths for some of my smaller EDC fixed blades. Another standout sheath maker is our member 757, Doug Maas. He is not on much, so I contact him through Michiganroadkill. Doug has made some simply outstanding sheaths. Danglers for my large chopper, sheaths for my Osceola Companion 6 inch blades, and a number for smaller knives. He makes dandy cross draw sheaths. Sam......

It looks like there are a number of top shelf sheath makers out there.Just like knife making, sheath making is an art form in itself. I've had a few sheaths that were supplied with 2nd class sheaths that I considered to be dangerous. I have quite a few from Mr.Parsons. Some fancy and some not so fancy, but all are safe and extremely well made. I also have a number of Jim Layton's sheaths. None are fancy, but all are extremely well made, safe, and all stitched 100% by hand. IMO, if you choose to carry a thinly ground razor sharp knife, don't cut corners on the sheath for safety reasons. Phil Wilson attemped to holster a sharp fillet knife into a wet leather sheath a few years ago and cut himself badly. Phil only offers Kydex these days. I doubt that this accident would have occurred with a Parsons or Layton sheath. My thanks to all of you that posted pictures of some very nice sheaths for all of us to see.
