My Randal knife was in the leather sheath that it came in, but the acids or what was used to cure the knife caused corrosion. Maybe it’s just with certain ones????

I’ve Seen wood work , but my concerns would involve it wearing out if the fit was wrong or a nail or screw damaging the blade , and if you use glue , it could be a problem after a while if moisture is common in the areas of use , and sane for the wood , I’d be careful , but I’ve seen this done , in fact a friend has done this , it works well , but you will need a strap of some sort to secure the knife

I did not know that leather was preferred because it feels nice in one’s hands and has an exceptional look. Something to consider would be to learn how to care for this case to keep it in good condition for an extended amount of time.
