Hi, Has anyone found a nice sheath for the Opinel #8 that doesn't cost more than the knife itself? Looking for something to protect it in pocket and/or attach to a belt.
Following an online suggestion I'm using an old Maglite flashlight sheath (flashlight is long gone btw) which is sort of ok but a very tight fit.
Thanks

Opinel used to make a leather pocket sheath.
I don't know if they are still available?

Looks like they are available in the sets but not separately.Bloke wrote:Opinel used to make a leather pocket sheath.

Thanks for responding but still seeking aftermarket suggestions

I have one.
Buy it in a duo with a knife.
In a nearby hardware store.
I think it cost me about 16 € the package

I do not know where you live but there are a lot of custom leather holster makers out there who can easily make a pocket sheath to your desired design. I had several such made until the two people I bought from both passed away.bryan123 wrote:Hi, Has anyone found a nice sheath for the Opinel #8 that doesn't cost more than the knife itself?
