Custom LeatherWORK

Grommet’s Leathercraft was born from the cutlery, martial arts, and reenactment communities. We’ve been crafting extremely high quality leather goods since 2006.

We strive to provide better options to the sheaths that are supplied by knife manufacturers.

We create products you can trust, we also offer more customizable options with faster production than other shops.

From keeping your pants up to holding things down, we make functional goods that you’ll want to show off.

Our leather goods are made so well, you can pass them down for generations to come.

All of our goods are made by hand rather than mass produced by machines. As a result of hand making our goods, slight differences between items, as well as aesthetic imperfections should be expected.

We take great pride in supplying quality gear, so if any imperfections are found that affect the functionality of the product, we will do our best to rectify the situation
