For buying your consideration is a handcrafted leather sheath for the Benchmade 162 Bushcrafter knife. The Bushcrafter is an awesome tool for the outdoor enthusiast, but the sheath provided by the manufacturer is a bit lacking for many people. This sheath is a major upgrade to the factory sheath, and provides you with a much more functional and durable carry solution for your 162 Bushcrafter. This is not intended to be a generic fit sheath. I made the pattern using the actual knife so I could achieve the best possible fit.
The sheath is made-to-order specifically for the 162 Bushcrafter using thick full-grain saddle leather tanned right here in the United States. It is sewn using high-strength polyester thread, reinforced with blackened solid brass rivets, and the dangle loop is attached using a welded steel D-ring. The sheath has a full-length welt to protect the stitching with a drain hole built in at the bottom. This detail is extremely important for the durability of the sheath because without it, your knife will easily cut the stitching. I also incorporate a loop for a sharpening rod or ferrocerium striker rod up to 3/8 inches in diameter. Edges are burnished by hand and protected with edge paint. The standard belt loop will fit belts up-to 2 1/4 inches wide. It is available in all of my standard colors: Saddle Tan, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Burgundy, and Black. It can also be made for right hand or left hand carry. There is also an option for a hand-sewn upgrade. Saddle stitching is a traditional hand-sewing technique that is known for its durability and classic look. I have made every effort for this sheath to be a highly durable and secure carry option for your knife.
Is the standard sheath option not quite what you need? Not a problem! I specialize in custom work and can adapt this design to suit your individual needs. Don't need the ferro rod loop? No problem. Need a removable dangle strap? I can do that. I have access to a wide variety of custom colors, including red, blue, green, purple, and pink. I can do contrast stitching in multiple colors. This sheath can also be customized with tooled borders, tooled designs, and/or your initials. In short, I can make this sheath in virtually any way you can imagine.
