Custom Leather Sheaths and EDC Gear Built to Work
Tanner Hide Leatherworks builds hand crafted leather gear for people who put their tools to work every single day. Based in Boone, North Carolina, this small-batch shop focuses on leather knife sheaths, leather multitool sheaths, belt sheaths, tool sheaths, belts, wallets, and everyday carry leather that is made to last. Every piece is hand stitched, made in the USA, and designed around real-world use in tough work environments.
This brand was built by someone who understands hard work. With a background in plumbing and excavation, tools were always part of daily life. Knives, multitools, flashlights, and gear needed to be close, secure, and dependable. Cheap leather did not hold up, bulky designs got in the way, and poorly thought-out sheaths slowed work down. So the solution was to build better ones by hand, one stitch at a time.
Hand Crafted Leather Goods Made in Boone, NC
All Tanner Hide Leatherworks products are made in Boone, NC using full grain leather sourced for durability, strength, and long-term wear. This leather is meant to wear in, not wear out. Over time, it develops a rich leather patina that tells the story of work, weather, and daily use.
Each sheath and accessory is cut, formed, stitched, and finished by hand. Small batch production allows attention to detail that mass-produced leather gear cannot match. This approach keeps quality high and ensures every piece performs the way it should on the job or in the field.
When it comes to everyday carry leather that holds up to real work, materials and craftsmanship matter more than trends.
Custom Leather Sheaths Designed for Daily Carry
Tanner Hide Leatherworks specializes in made-to-order leather sheaths that fit the tool and the user. These are not generic designs pulled off a shelf. Each knife sheath, multitool sheath, belt sheath, or tool sheath is built to keep gear secure, accessible, and comfortable throughout the day.
The goal is simple. Keep tools where they belong, free up pockets, and make quick access second nature. A well-built leather sheath should stay tight to the body, avoid snagging on equipment, and feel natural while moving, bending, or working overhead.
Built with working people in mind, these sheaths focus on:
Secure retention without excess bulk
Ergonomic positioning on the belt
Fast, reliable deployment
Reduced pocket clutter and weight
Long-term durability in demanding environments
This is leather gear designed for blue collar workers, tradespeople, mechanics, farmers, equipment operators, welders, maintenance techs, fire and EMS, outdoor users, and anyone who carries tools daily.
Full Grain Leather That Earns Its Patina
Full grain leather is chosen because it holds strength, resists failure, and improves with age. Over time, the surface darkens, softens, and develops character unique to the owner. Scratches, wear marks, and sun exposure add to the look rather than detract from it.
Hand stitching reinforces stress points and prevents early failure. This construction style takes more time, but it produces leather goods that stay together under real pressure. Good leather is not cheap, and cheap leather does not last. Tanner Hide Leatherworks builds for the long haul.
Leather Belts, Wallets, and Accessories That Hold Up
In addition to leather sheaths, Tanner Hide Leatherworks produces leather belts, wallets, and accessories that match the same standards of quality. Belts are built to support weight without stretching or breaking down. Wallets and pocket slips are designed to slim down pockets while protecting gear and cards.
Everything is made with function in mind first, then finished clean and simple so it looks right on the job or off the clock.
