    Expensive folding knife sheaths

    I'm almost ready to spend $50 or more on a nice knife sheath for an EDC knife. I've been waiting to own a knife that is my favorite enough to spend the money for a sheath that only that knife will fit in. I have good sheaths that many knifes/tools will fit in but I'm thinking of a custom sheath for specific knives. I still don't have a knife I've decided is a favorite enough to spend that kind of money on for a sheath. I am getting closer though. What I've bought in the past few years and used has taught me what I appreciate in EDC knives. Right now my needs are met with a Delica saber grind and the blue Stretch FFG. Carrying both gives me a small stout knife and a larger one better for slicing type tasks. I'm thinking of a Manix 2 now. If I don't stop soon the only thing my son will get when I die is knives. There won't be anything left. Too bad, he shouldn't have wanted all those sneakers that cost as much as one Gayle Bradley per shoe.

    I only know of one place to get what I'm thinking about. It is:
    http://vessleatherworks.com/

    I'd appreciate any other suggestions as well especially if anyone has bought and liked the products. Thanks for any input.

    This guy does amazing work, I don't know if he makes folder sheaths, but his fixed blade sheaths are unbelievable (and moderately priced for what you get):

    I would shoot him an email and ask what he can do for you. He does kydex sheaths as well.

    Here is a sheath I have by him with leather carving of a design I suggested:
