I can vouch for Mr Jones' work as well. Great sheaths for the $$.

I was looking at a custom hunting knife but really do not like the sheath that comes with it.
What would a sheath cost to have a hunting sheath made and who does it?
Texasknife.com if you want inexpensive but good quality leather sheaths usually below $20. I have a couple of Parsons which are really top quality but a bit pricey.
I make sheaths and I spent a day with Chris Kravitz of Treestump Leather in Ellsworth Maine. He's a lot better than I am and has been in Blade Magazine many times for his work.
polychoke, welcome to the fire, and thanks for the heads up. My dad and I spent the opening day of KS pheasant season in Oberlin, KS for years and years. We are in the same state, but it is about 400mi. I will check out the Smith's. Thanks.
i just went through this and can recommend Paul Long. Not the cheapest but does some amazing work and does it very quickly. Turn around time is a few days not a few weeks.
