Knives Guide – Edmund Nielsen Woodwinds

All of our knives come with a leather sheath, ensuring both safety and convenience for our customers. The leather sheath not only protects the blade from damage and dulling but also provides a secure way to carry and store the knife when not in use. Crafted from high-quality leather, these sheaths are designed to be durable and stylish, complementing the craftsmanship of the knives themselves.
