Leather is a very traditional material used to make sheaths. It’s also still one of the best types of sheath material to have. There are many good things about leather, but one of the main advantages is the aesthetics.
Leather is a well-known material that looks exceptional. Furthermore it feels nice in your hands and smells good. Leather hearkens back to the days cowboys and ruggedness. Leather is also very quiet when you’re pulling a knife in and out of the sheath.
Leather will become unusable if not cared for properly. Therefore, taking care of your sheath is important. The oils in the leather can dry out and cause the sheath to crack pretty quickly.
Leather comes from cured animal skin. In other words think about it like skin. For instance, do not let the leather stay wet for long periods. Leaving your sheath in the hot sun or near camp fires or furnaces dries out the natural oils. Don’t use products on your sheath you would not use on your own skin. Don’t put your wet, dirty or bloody knife in your sheath.
- Don’t over-condition your sheath. Too many processes, too much oil, wax, harsh cleanings, and chemicals can wear your leather out, overly soften it, or overly harden it.
