Volume 1: This comprehensive how-to book by David Hölter and Peter Fronteddu explains how to create beautiful sheaths for fixblade knives. Includes step-by-step instructions for four different projects— a sheath with a folded belt loop, scabbard with leather lining and riveted belt loop, sheath with safety strap and attached belt loop, and a scabbard with a belt clip—with high quality images accompanying each.

Volume 2: In addition to detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating a welted sheath with attached belt loop and a welted sheath with a belt clip and protective strap, this manual is a helpful resource for developing entirely custom sheaths by outlining their fundamental design.

    Volume 3: This in-depth volume offers instructions for creating a welted sheath with a separate Mexican loop and snap faster, all while explaining the design and construction of welted sheaths for fixed blades.

    Olivia M. ★★★★★

    I've been making sheaths for years and this book still taught me new tricks, especially the way they walk you through shaping the welt for a clean fit. The photos are clear enough that I didn't get lost on any of the four projects.

    Alexander L. ★★★★★

    The step-by-step breakdown for all four projects is exactly what I needed—the photos are clear enough that I didn't have to guess at any of the stitching or edge work. Even though I'm pretty new to leathercraft, I finished my first sheath in a weekend and it actually looks respectable.

    I’ve been making sheaths for years, but this book still taught me new tricks—especially the step-by-step photos for the four projects. The instructions are clear enough that I finally got a snug fit on my first try. If you’re into fixed-blade knives, this is a solid resource.
