Anyone got any idea'so where I could source a piece of leather or thick webbing to try and make a knife sheath?

Off boar hunting on the 3rd of Jan and don't want to buy a large knife especially for it so want to take a kitchen/boning knife with me.

now, I'm not suggesting you turn to a life of crime, but my missus does leather repair to motorcycle clothing, if she gets something in that needs a small repair and its a non popular colour that she don't keep in stock, rather than buying a whole hide, we take a trip to land of leather or similar, walk around looking at settee's, they have swatches I think they are called laying everywhere, different colours of leather, funny but a few find there way into our pockets, big enough to make a knife sheath from too

All sorted! Managed to find a old chisel set holder. Hacked it in half, then stitched it with some wax cotton cord and then ran some strong glue down all the seams, jobs a good'un!

Bit rough and ready but will stop me slicing my leg open for a week.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
