Many years ago I had a big hide of tanned leather that was probably a bit too thick for most sheaths but money was tight so I used it for everything including some 4 inch "trout and caper" style blades. An owner of one of these was wearing it on a horse packing fishing trip up in the Canadian Rockies. The horse he was sitting lost his footing going across a shale slide and he fell on the side the knife was with the horse on top of him until they finished sliding to a stop.
The knife didn't come through the sheath and he was thankful for the "over thick" sheath. So was I.
