Tyler Shupe Leather
Leather Knife Sheath for Fixed Blade Knives
This is the sheath we build for Rafter P Knives — the one that ships with every fixed blade they sell. Heavy full-grain leather front and back, white-thread stitching all the way around, and twin belt slots that keep it riding flat and steady, cut and stitched one at a time in our shop.
Pick Your Size and Leather
Two sizes, each in your choice of light or dark leather. The small runs about 5" long by 3" wide and carries a blade around 1" wide and 2¾"–3" long. The large runs about 6¼" long by 3½" wide and takes a blade around 1" wide and 3"–3½" long. Measure your blade from the tip to where the handle starts — if it lands between sizes, go large.
Tight on Purpose
Every sheath leaves the bench fitting tight. That's not a flaw — it's the whole design. Leather molds to what it holds, so after a few days of carry the sheath forms to your knife and grips it snug enough to trust horseback, in the truck, or bent over a fence line, with no snap or strap to fumble. Stamped with our maker's mark and built to last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit knives other than Rafter P?
Yes. We build these for Rafter P Knives, but they're sized by blade, not brand. Any fixed blade around 1" wide with a blade length inside the ranges above will seat and break in the same way.
My new sheath feels really tight. Is that normal?
It is — every sheath is made to fit tight at first so it breaks in well. Work your knife in and out a few times and carry it for a few days; the leather will form to your knife and settle into a snug, secure fit that keeps it put.
Which size should I order?
Go by blade length. Blades 2¾"–3" take the small; 3"–3½" take the large. Right at 3"? Either works, but the large gives the tip more room while the leather breaks in.
How fast does it ship?
These are built and on the shelf, so your sheath ships out quick — no made-to-order wait.
Shipping & Returns
100% Satisfaction Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty
Every Tyler Shupe Leather product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials — every item we sell, no exceptions.
If your product ever fails because of craftsmanship or materials, contact us as soon as possible and we will repair or replace it free of charge. The warranty applies to the original purchaser. Normal wear, misuse, and alterations made by someone other than us are not covered — but if you’re unsure, just reach out. We’re always happy to take a look. Full details and care requirements are on our Warranty & Leather Care page.
Returns
Yes — we accept returns. Eligible items may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund.
- Items must be unused, unaltered, and in resaleable condition, with their original packaging.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method once your return has been received and inspected. Please allow 3–5 business days after inspection for processing; bank posting times vary.
- Original shipping charges are not refundable. Only the price of the returned items is refunded. If your order shipped free, nothing is deducted for the original shipping.
- Return shipping is paid by the customer. You can use our prepaid label — the cost of the label is deducted from your refund — or ship it back with your own insured carrier.
Final Sale — Not Eligible for Return
- Custom, engraved, personalized, and made-to-order items are final sale. They cannot be returned or exchanged. (The lifetime warranty still covers them against defects.)
- Clearance and other final sale items.
- Items showing wear, damage, odors, or alterations.
- Leather damaged by improper care (harsh chemicals, sealed storage causing mold).
- Gift cards.
How to Start a Return
- Email hello@tylershupeleather.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and what you’d like to return.
- We’ll reply with return instructions and your prepaid label option.
- Send the item back unused and in its original packaging. Once it arrives and passes inspection, we issue your refund.
Belt Size Exchanges
Belts are measured from the fold at the buckle to the middle hole, and sometimes the number just isn’t right. We are happy to exchange new, unworn belts for a different size.
- No time limit. As long as the belt is unused and in original condition, we’ll exchange it — there’s no deadline on a size swap.
- You pay shipping both ways — shipping the belt back to us, and shipping on the replacement belt.
- Custom, engraved, and personalized belts are final sale and cannot be exchanged.
- Not sure what to order? Our Belt Measurement Guide shows exactly where to put the tape.
How to Start an Exchange
- Email hello@tylershupeleather.com with your order number and the size you need — before sending anything back.
- We’ll confirm the size you want is available and send you return instructions.
- Ship the belt back to us. When it arrives, we’ll send a short invoice for shipping on the replacement — once that’s taken care of, your new belt goes out.

Shipping & Processing Times
We do our very best to get all orders shipped within 2–3 business days of being placed.
Because our products are handcrafted and we’re a small operation, there may occasionally be times when processing takes up to 4–5 business days. If that happens, please know we’re still working hard to get your order out as quickly as possible.
Free U.S. shipping on orders $99+. Orders under $99 ship for a flat $9.95.
Expedited Shipping
We do offer an expedited processing and shipping option to ensure your order gets out as soon as possible and ships via USPS Priority Mail.
If you need an item shipped faster than our expedited option, please contact us before placing your order and we’ll do our best to help.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking information.
Please note that processing time is separate from shipping time, and carrier delays are outside of our control. If your package arrives damaged, email us within 7 days with photos of the box and item so we can make it right.
