Pancake sheaths and the art of a close fit
Flat sheaths are among the simplest patterns in leatherwork: two layers lying close together, with no gusset to add depth. Knife makers sometimes call the style a 'pancake', and its appeal is that it hugs the body instead of standing proud of it. The catch is that the cut must follow the knife closely, because there is no spare volume to absorb a mismatch.
This 12 cm black sheath keeps that slim build and adds a riveted belt-loop bar and a snap closure. Among wholesale knives from Pakistan, thinner folders suit it best, particularly for customers who want nothing bulging under a jacket.
