SitePro 17-LS22 Leather Sheath for 22" Machete, Beige

Excellent!

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.

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!

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.

I use these as sheaths for several swords I've made. Great price and made well. I really don't use them much so can't speak to durability much, but seem to be thick and well made.

Nice sheath for machete. Very good quality item.

This thing is made to last fell in a swamp n it dried just fine. The thing got trampled by my mule and it took it. It thought my dog would mess it up after he played around with it an it just got nipped a bit... Still good to go!! Most surprising...

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.
