Lining colors are too numerous to list.  Common colors are various shades of brown and black.</div> <bR> <div> Sheaths are available in exotic skins.  Examples are eastern and western rattlesnake, python, cobra, ostrich, and many more.   We also have leather “fake skins” to simulate exotic skins (e.g., alligator, ostrich, etc.).</div> <bR> <div> Sheaths are of high quality materials and construction.  Heavy-duty hardware and thick thread are used on all sheaths.  Most sheaths come with linings that are glued and completely sewn into the sheath. I've used this method on holsters and after 30 plus years, the linings are still perfectly attached.  The lining keeps knives from being scratched by coming into contact with metal hardware. Sheaths are sewn by hand-operated leather sewing machine for a professional appearance. Thread is available in many colors.  The most common colors are brown, black, and white.  Other colors are available by request. We offer hand-tooled sheaths with basket weave, oak leaves/acorns, etc.</div> <bR> <div> Special orders are welcome.  Please feel free to submit your own design, specify colors, hardware, etc.</div> <bR> <div> We enjoy making the sheaths as much as the knives!  Please feel free to order sheaths for your own knives.  We'll just need a tracing and a few dimensions of your knife.</div> <div>  <embed src="HTMLobj-532/Smsaver_2_.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
