KNIFE SHEATHS
Knife Sheaths of the Plains, Blackfeet, Sioux, Cheyenne, Apache, Ute. Woodlands, Southwest, Plateau & Basin, etc.
A warrior kept his knife in a sheath or case (knife sheath). In most instances, it was big enough to virtually swallow up the knife. This protected the handle and blade from moisture, and kept the knife secure during hectic activities. The case was made of heavy rawhide, sometimes simply folded over and other times having an insert for additional spacing and strength.
The everyday working case was left fairly plain, but was sometimes painted with geometrical designs.
Some of the larger sheaths were spectacular with beautiful patterns and brass tacks and beads added to them in many different ways.
