Description
This sheath is designed and tooled specifically for the Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner. It is built out of full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide and then stained with a dark brown. The sheath is formed around the knife, therefore the fit is snug and precise. Each sheath is tested to have a precise fit. The sheath is constructed with a welt that is inserted between the two folded halves which prevents the blade edge from cutting the stitching that is placed to hold the sheath together. The sheath is then glued, and hand sewn with a saddle stitch using waxed nylon thread – this is why you do not see any markings from a sewing machine along the threads. The edge of the sheath has a hand-polished finish. The sheath is treated with Fiebings Mink Oil (available from us here). We recommended that you treat it with this from time to time. This sheath is built to last, and is meticulously hand crafted in the USA (Spokane, Washington).
The sheath can be worn directly on a belt, and it will accept a maximum belt width of 2.5 inches. It can also be extended to hang lower with a dangler, which is also available in our shop. Click images below to view it in our shop.

At this time we have only the brown option available, with no ferro sleeve. You can add a Dangler to your order separately.
At this time this sheath will be made to order, although some sheaths may be available immediately. Please allow about one week for production of the sheath, depending on the demand. You can also send us an email to check for immediate availability.

Matthew Sutton –
I received the brown sheath without the fire steel loop option. I also received the dangler loop for the sheath. The high quality of the leather and saddle stitching is top grade. The Benchmade 162 fits nice and snug but I expect it will break in over time as most molded leather sheaths and holsters. I believe the ROG sheath with dangler complete the Benchmade 162 into a total quality package.
I like the compactness of the sheath without the fire starter loop, but I can see the v.alue of the loop to remain OEM functional.
