Proper Apron Company
Locally crafted in Denver, Colorado, by Chef Jamey Freeman of Proper Apron Company, these handmade universal fit leather knife sheaths offer superior protection for your knife, fingers, and knife rolls. Designed to fit both Western and Japanese handles, they accommodate a variety of Japanese blade shapes and sizes.
Made from Italian Vachetta leather, these sheaths bring luxury-quality craftsmanship to your kitchen. Vachetta leather is vegetable-tanned and renowned for its durability and appearance in high-end goods like handbags and wallets. Over time, this leather gains a beautiful patina, deepening in color through exposure to light, oils, and moisture—resulting in a distinctive, personal character prized by leather enthusiasts. Your knife deserves the best; just ensure it’s clean and dry before storing it in the sheath.

I bought this sheath from Element Knife Company for my SHAN ZU chef knife, which didn’t come with one. I had been struggling to find a quality sheath that fit properly—after two unsuccessful attempts with other brands, I finally came across Element Knife Company. The fit is perfect, the leather feels durable, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my knife is protected both in storage and transport. Highly recommend!
