- Edge Protection: We have recently invested in training and higher-quality materials to bring our leatherwork fully in-house. We now offer handmade, custom-fit full-grain leather sheaths for almost all of our premium tool ranges which, if properly cared for, can last as long as the tool itself. For transparency in pricing and to ensure fairer access to these tools, sheaths are no longer included with the price of the tool and can be purchased separately. A Woodsmith leather sheath for this tool can be purchased here.
