| Long Description | MKC x Teton Leather Company ONLY FITS THE MKC ELK KNIFE Montana Knife Company(TM) MKC Elk Knife Leather sheath is made of premium Leather and handmade by Francesca at Teton Leather Company. The Leather sheath is a classic alternative to the stock Kydex MKC Elk Knife Sheath. 100% USA MADE VERTICAL BELT LOOP CARRY HANDCRAFTED CUSTOM DESIGN TO FIT THE MKC ELK KNIFE WATER-RESISTANT *KNIFE NOT INCLUDED* ABOUT TETON LEATHER COMPANY AND FRANCESCA From a true artistic beginning apprenticing with a master jewelry maker, to creating beautiful knives as a bladesmith, Francesca found her calling with the art of leather making. Her love for the craft began when one of her knife collectors asked her to make a high-end custom leather sheath for an art knife he had procured. Through trial and error, she created a beautiful piece of art, remembering "When my concept became a reality, and what I saw in my head was here physically in front of me, that was a life changing moment." She has been chasing that creativity induced high she felt in 2014 ever since. Designing custom leather goods out of a variety of exotic leathers, such as invasive python and alligator. "Often nature is imitated in the modern world" Francesca says "Nothing can truly capture the precise and perfect beauty that comes from natural materials. Each species offers its own texture, thickness, durability, pattern and characteristics, it&&';;s the perfect challenge for me." Francesca is an avid outdoorsman, from hunting, fishing, camping, snowboarding, and surfing, she loves being outside in nature with her daughter Olivia. She often says, "When I&&';;m not working on leather or designing, I&&';;m outside pulling inspiration from the mountains and wildlife around me, then I take that home and create, it&&';;s a cycle that I go through and it&&';;s really fulfilling." Bringing to the table a versatile range of professional talent, Francesca is a full-time designer and leather artisan, specializing in high end custom bespoke products. She excels with hand dying hides and color matching, beautifully wrapped skulls, and design and concept consulting for some of the best brands in the industry. Her team of skilled and thoroughly trained leather artisans are proud of her expectation of meticulous detail and deliver the best leather products on the market. |
