In this volume on workshop practice, David Hölter and Peter Fronteddu demonstrate how to design and produce a leather sheath for a fixed knife. This issue looks at four different types of sheath:

Quiver-like leather sheath with integrated belt loop
Quiver-like sheath with leather lining and riveted belt loop with snap fastener
Quiver-like leather sheath with protective strap and sewed-on belt loop
Quiver-like leather sheath with flap and sewed-on belt clip

From the first sketches to final leather treatment, every step of the process is explained clearly through text and pictures. The book also comprises a complete template for each type of sheath and provides a general introduction to leatherwork.
