17-LS22 Leather Sheath for 22" Machete, Beige

Good quality leather and stitching. I recommend mink oil or something to condition the leather before use.

I have an old Tramotina machete that I needed a sheath for, and this does the job. Seems like it's well put together and good quality leather. It won't grip the blade of course, since it wasn't made for this specific model, but it does the job.

Nice fit

Very thick leather. Haven't worn it yet, so can't speak to the durability of the belt loop, but it looks VERY strong. The stitching seems quite solid also. The leather was quite dry, and I died it a much darker color before using flaxseed oil to condition. Than scratched it up a little bit with light sandpaper to "age" it a little. Turned out looking great!

Nice sheath for machete. Very good quality item.

I never cared for canvas sheaths and the Kydex ones are too stiff and loud when they hit things. The leather here is quite thick, sewn with waxed thread and riveted at stress points. It fit my Cold Steel machete perfectly. My only question is why they didn't dye the leather a darker color? It needs conditioning when it arrives, so I gave it a light coat of tan shoe polish after I used the saddle soap.

Um, this was much higher quality than I was expecting. Terrified someone in the Amazon will want to trade it early into my trek. It's thick, and feels solid as a tank. I used brown shoe-polish to make it a dark/mocha brown. Easily fits my 22", but also my 24" - thankfully the extra 2" of that one isn't sharp. Anyway, I trust this sheath, and am happy with the purchase.

This sheath is exactly 22 inches long. Conveniently enough, my machete blade is about that too. What's the problem? There's not enough room inside for a 22 inch blade because some room is taken by the stitching. This leaves some of the dull blade exposed and the sheath supporting the machete by the blade at the tip. On the plus side there are more rivets near the tip on my example compared to other reviewers and my blade has not torn through the stitching nor has the edge been damaged by the rivets. There's also a large burned and pressed in logo on the sheath. Not great. This sheath is pretty meh. It doesn't properly fit the 22" blades it was meant for and it has a big logo I don't care for.
