Title: Which leather?
Post by: Rusty Snuffers on July 04, 2011, 02:13:00 PM

What should I look for when buying leather to make a sheath? I'm planning on a horizontal belt sheath that'll hold the knife with no strap, if possible. What would be the easiest and securest leather to use?

Thanks in advance,
Rusty

I use anywhere from 7oz to 9oz vegetable tanned tooling leather.
