Top tip - hook knife sheath
I've got an FGYT knife en-route (but can't open it until Christmas... bah...) and another crook knife that I forged myself. Realised that fingers cut from old leather gloves are perfect for a little blade cover. I've just bought 4 pairs of Tegera 17 gloves to replace various pairs that have worn out/let me down.
Hugo also uses a couple of cut-offs as a leather thimble for protecting his fingers whilst carving

Top tip indeed

Another option is to paint textile work glove fingers with pva and use instead of leather ones.They grip very well , are dirt cheap or free in many cases , and are pretty waterproof too.
What's not to like?

When I die tell my wife to sell my knives for what they are worth : not what I told her I paid for them.

What I actually do is use two cut off fingers from work gloves, put one inside the other add a piece of elastic that then goes around the wrist, I use it to push a blade with my thumb whilst carving whittling, this saves me getting a thumb ache.Originally Posted by spandit

A padded envelope with a suspiciously knife shaped bulge in it arrived this morning... but addressed to my wife (and she's hidden it)
