Custom FELCO Leather Kits — Pruning Shear Sheaths & Belts

Back to Journal

FELCO commissioned us to design and make custom luxury leather sheaths for several of their pruning shears and knife models — and in 2020, to create the grand prizes for their International Pruning Competition in Switzerland.

The Commission

FELCO commissioned us to design and make custom luxury leather sheaths for a few of their pruning shears models and knife models. We came up with a balanced ergonomic sheath design using the traditional wet-moulding technique and saddle stitching for structural strength.

We also made leather handle grips for some of FELCO's loyal clients, including a special set for Ludwig from Ludwig Roses.

The Pruning Competition Prize

In 2020, FELCO commissioned us to make the grand prizes for their International Pruning Competition in Switzerland — sadly cancelled at the last minute due to COVID. We had made bespoke leather kits that included matching leather belts and leather sheaths for pruning shears and pocket knives.
