sheather
One who sheathes
A sheather is one who sheathes—someone who puts a blade into its sheath or covers something with a protective casing.
The term appears most often in compound forms describing tradespeople: a cable sheather applies protective coverings to wiring, a pile sheather encases foundation supports.
The sheather fitted the knife into its leather case.
