All About Pocket Knives

Hi members,

I´m searching for a custom made leather sheath for my vintage Puma Emperor with thick stag scales.

The knife is HUGE (5 1/2" closed with a 4 1/2" blade) and unfortunately Puma has no sheaths in stock anymore...

How about jbWoods? Does he have a website? Any other suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Here´s a pic of that beast:

you can try to make yourself a sheath, many tutorial can be found on the web and it's not very hard to do (and it's funny)

Hi Joern,

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...I guess I´m not skilled enough to do that

BTW: I have no equipment to stitch thick leather

Yep, I guess you´re right...it was the same thing when I started to collect dive watches

We have a very skilled leather master here, whose online name is sheathmaker. I don't think he would object if you chose to send him a private message about your request. He is the last poster in this thread.....

If you are so inclined, just click on PM and send him one.

Here is a pouch style sheath, deerskin lined, rattlesnake inlay, with a clip, he made for me. He does great work.

That's a nice Puma, by the way.

Thank you Bill...ähhhhhhh...Mr. Wolf

That sheath looks REALLY good, congrats

that is a very nice sheath.

Yes indeed it is

Sheathmaker (Paul Long) is the best custom sheath maker I know!

If the knife is one that you really value think it deserves a GREAT sheath (the Puma would qualify, IMHO), then Paul is the best there is! He makes the sheaths for a number of custom makers.
You will NOT be disappointed if you decide to have him make your sheath!

Dale

Thank you Dale, I just shot Paul a PM
