Laguiole Leather Sheaths & Sharpener

Vertical, horizontal or pocket carry?

A vertical belt sheath has a loop that slides onto your belt, so the closed knife hangs at your hip. A horizontal knife sheath lies along the belt instead, out of the way when you sit or drive, and some models fasten with straps. The Laguiole en Aubrac belt knife sheath can be worn either way, and two belt models also carry a sharpening steel, so it travels with the knife. If you'd rather keep the knife in a pocket, pick a slim sleeve stamped with the Laguiole en Aubrac logo, a pouch with a cut-out opening for a quick grab, or a zipped pocket knife case.

Sheaths for sommelier corkscrews

A sommelier corkscrew or a knife with a corkscrew has a different outline, so the range has shapes made for it. Curved sheaths follow that profile, and the Le Millésime belt sheaths sit horizontally, aimed at wine professionals who keep a corkscrew on them during service. A soft zip knife pouch takes a pocket knife or a corkscrew alike, an easy pick if you own both. To find the corkscrew itself, browse Laguiole Corkscrews.

Vegetable-tanned leather, nubuck or pebbled leather

Vegetable-tanned leather is firm and holds its shape on a belt. Nubuck is top-grain leather, sanded to a velvety nap, so it feels soft and supple from the first day you carry it. Pebbled leather has a textured surface and comes in black, brown or orange. Across the range you'll also find tan, hazelnut, mocha, cacao and gold. On a tighter budget, simple synthetic sheaths come in red, terracotta, black and brown, and for a two-tone look, a leather case pairs brown or gray with orange.

Knife sheath questions

What is a knife sheath?

It's a fitted cover that protects a knife and lets you carry it safely, on a belt or in a pocket. For a folding Laguiole, it keeps the handle away from the keys and coins that would scratch it. The range here covers belt sheaths, pocket sleeves and zip pouches for every Laguiole en Aubrac pocket knife and corkscrew.

How do you wear a knife sheath on your belt?

Thread your belt through the sheath's loop before you buckle it, then slide the closed knife in. A vertical sheath hangs at your hip, while a horizontal one lies flat along the belt, at the front or the back. The Laguiole en Aubrac leather belt sheath takes either position, so you can switch whenever you like.

What are the best knife sheaths?

The ones that fit your knife and the way you carry it. A belt sheath suits anyone who likes empty pockets, while a sleeve or zip case is easier to keep in a jacket pocket or a bag. All of the sheaths here are made in France, from simple synthetic ones to leather belt sheaths and the two-tone case.

A care guide ships with every order. Wipe your knife clean and let it dry before it goes into its sheath.
