A little history here:
I moved from the U.S. to the U.K. about 14 years ago. In doing so, I left a lot of belongings of mine behind including my beloved sword (which I'll be doing another thread on soon with photos) and dagger by Windlass Steelcrafts. I left them both in the care of my mother. My mother accidentally threw out my dagger's sheath when she tossed the box I had packed them away in (their original shipping box). When the two of them almost let my dagger be sold at one their yard sales, I'd had enough. Therefore, I had my sister come and pick them up and take them to her house where they remained for a decade.
As of a few days ago, my weaponry and I have been reunited - my sister having shipped them to me here overseas. I have since started looking for a new sheath for my dagger which has a 12 inch-long blade. The blade is almost 1 1/2 inches at its widest part and not quite an inch wide at its smallest part. It's an "Italian Dagger." With my dagger bundled up in a soft, never-before-used towel, I've been busy searching online for a replacement. However, I've not had much success. Most scabbards sold on their own I'm finding, seem to be for utility and hunting knives. I am finding it frustrating that in order to get a sheath for a dagger or sword, one often has to buy the weapon it comes with (which doesn't really help me out here).
I understand a person can make their own, but that seems a bit complicated and is not something I feel like doing - unless I absolutely have to. Thus, I'm wondering if anyone here might know where I might find a place that sells an assortment of sheaths on their own which could possibly suit my blade.
Thank you so much for any help.
