This sheath is precision sewn and made of very high grade 8/9 oz. cowhide that has a dark brown finish with a welt in the seam so the blade does not cut the threads. It is soft enough so that most handles will slide in for the final water fitting. Fits the blade BL422, BL431, BL465, BL475, BL481 and BL706. Opening is 5-1/2" deep and 1-1/2" wide. Made from English Bridle Leather Molds nicely Great finish once done
