knife sheaths

Protective blade covers

Knife sheaths are protective covers designed to encase a knife blade when not in use, preventing injury and keeping the edge sharp.

They attach to belts, packs, or clothing for carrying.

Materials range from leather and nylon to molded plastic (Kydex).

A good sheath holds the knife securely while allowing quick access: He slid the hunting knife back into its sheath.
