Woven fabric, Ikat patterned, knife sheath. Ikat pattern (floral pattern which looks like watercolor), is on front and back and is fading. There is a green felt interior and a snap to hold the cover in place. The sheath is reinforced along its edges by a heavy material, stitched on to prevent rippage in the sheath. Cardboard or heavy paper on the interior gives the sheath its shape.
