Gentlestache Horizontal Belt Knife Sheath, EDC Compact Draw Holster in Black

I love these sheaths. Very well made. Gerber makes a knife that is PERFECT with this sheath. I have an orange handled Gerber in the Brown sheath and a Black handled Gerber in the black sheath. I love them both. These sheaths are more perfect for the Gerber than the sheath that comes with them. Excellent sheaths, perfect for the Gerber.

Leather is a little soft, but overall it seems well made. Looks good, works as intended and fits the knife that was made by a friend. Overall very nice sheath.

First, I am not convinced this is actually leather. Not even "genuine leather," which is ground up leather shavings that are bonded with a type of rubber cement. No, this seems a lot more like straight up TPU to me, but it feels good and is nicely done. The outside is smooth and supple, and the inside has a more sueded texture. I'm fairly indifferent to a well-done TPU vs. "genuine leather" so I'm not too disappointed there (though unhappy about false advertising if it is indeed entirely TPU). I got it (5" version) for my Cold Steel Master Hunter. It fits that knife pretty well - snug, but no so snug you feel you have to force it in or out. The snap does not close around the handle, unfortunately. There was a reviewer on here with pictures of his knife with a 3.25" handle circumference and he was just barely able to get it snapped. My Master Hunter has a 3-5/8" diameter on the handle and there is no way I can get it snapped. Fortunately I have snaps and a punch and setting anvil from my leather crafting days, and there is enough room next to the male snap stud to add another, thereby increasing the max diameter of the handle whilst being able to close the snap shut. Fortunately it's snug enough for now without being snapped shut. I can't speak for reliability yet. I don't really carry my knives on my waistband, so I'm not overly concerned about belt loops breaking, but it seems like plenty of reviewers have had problems with that. If it ever fails, I'll just use this sheath as a pattern and make myself a legit, top-grain leather sheath. The design and pattern on this at least are very good. Functional and attractive.

I bought the 5". Fits my knife nicely. The clip is a bit tight, but I am able to resnap it with a single hand. I expect it to form to the handle in time and it be a perfect fit. I wore it on my belt for 24hrs with no issues. Never accidentally opened or felt cumbersome while driving or moving about. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The leather sheath could be worn at a horizontal position with my Uncle Henry Staglon Fixed-Blade Knife. But with one leather strap the weight of the handle would cause the knife and sheath to dip. Furthermore, the one strap would hang loosely from my belt, wearing it at the "5 - 6 o'clock position." When getting into the driver's seat of my car, the handle would frequently get caught into the side of the seat, and then sheathed blade would jab into my back. When worn at the left handed position in the "7-8 o'clock position," the sheathed blade would get caught by the side of the seat. I have yet to try to wear it in the front, "10 o'clock position," or "2 o'clock position," but I afraid it would too high profile and scare people. To summarize, the sheath is too flimsy and does not "hug" my belt compared to my vertical phone holster (Gentlestache Leather Cell Phone Holster with Belt Clip, Universal Pouch Large Phone). Or my horizontal phone holster (Topstache Leather Phone Holster with Belt Loop, Magnetic Closure Cell Phone Pouch Card Holder Wallet). Or my ZUNE LOTOO Tactical Survival Knife Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath D2 Steel G10 Handle Outdoor Tactical Knives for Men Camping Hiking Hunting Knife.

This is a really nice sheath! Mine is well made an all the details, stitching, rivets, snap, are perfect. It has a really nice soft feel, not stiff and the texture feels like it is made from good quality leather. the leather is a little thin and it is very flexible, so I hope that I don't poke the blade point through it. Color is rich, deep brown and I like it! It fits my handmade knife very well with a 3.5" blade and it is roomy enough that the bolster/handle just tucks in a half inch and makes it feel really secure. If your knife has large finger guards, it probably won't work. Both belt loops are roomy enough for my wide belts. I highly reccommend this!

Fit my old WestCut 4.5” knife perfectly (4”.version) including the handle strap. Seems well made.

Excellent quality, there should be a more universal way to secure the knife. I have the Small Buck Selkirk and the knife itself fits perfectly but the snaping strap does nothing to hold the knife in. Still happy with the look and quality of the sheath.

I'm very happy with the look and quality of this item and it almost fits my knife perfectly even though it wasn't completely designed for it. I would definitely buy this brand again.

Very good quality.

Love it.
