Heya dogs,

So an update on the present to my lady for her birthday: I bought a sage Swamp Warden and ordered the Turqoise Ambrosia and Orange Liners to make the handles. I am excited to see what the finished product looks like.

I was just talking to a friend about what to do about a sheath. He made a good point that a leather sheath would be much more appropriate than a Kydex sheath, given the way I am customizing this blade. I definitely agree.

Here's the issue. Time is a big factor in all of this. I'd love to send it in to Jeff for a sweet Randall style pouch with turquoise inlay, but that is not an option.

I have two ideas.

First of all, I could buy a kit from somewhere and give it a go myself. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be very good at it though. Also, that will be added time.
Secondly, I could try to find a generic leather sheath that fits it well enough for the time being while I can work on making my own.

What do you think the best way to go would be? Does anyone know where I should look for generic leather sheaths? The stores near me never carry sheaths for some reason, so I would have to order one online most likely.

Thanks in advance!
