Description: Natural Leather Sheath Kit #1 Made of 8/9 oz Leather Natural Leather Color (undyed) For fillet knives with blades up to 8” long Welt and leather for loop included Made in the USA A simple yet practical kit made of 8-9 oz vegetable tanned leather. Be as simple or as detailed as you like! We make these sheath kits in house so these are Made in the USA. We buy full hides & clicker cut our patterns in our leather shop. This sheath kit is made from 8/9oz leather. It can be glued and stitched with the welt to protect the blade edge from cutting through the edge depending on the design. These are natural or undyed leather. Example of Finished Sheath Dying: You can dye these any color you prefer using one of our leather dyes. You can even use colored shoe polish. Dying a sheath is easy. You can purchase a 4oz bottle of Fiebings leather dye we sell. Moisten the leather slightly with a mister or sponge with plain water prior to applying the dye. (this helps minimize streaking). Avoid using the wool dauber that comes with the dye, instead use a large sponge or rag. The bigger the pass when applying the dye, the fewer streaks you will have. Wear plastic gloves. Leather dye will stain your hands for days! Finishing: If you prefer, you can add some finishing touches like dye color, wax, edge dye or water repellent acrylic finish like SuperShene. Finishing the sheaths can be done several ways. You can use shoe polish, which has wax. You can use common furniture paste wax (not the spray stuff) and buff to a shine with a rag. Other finishes available are SuperShene which is an acrylic finish that provides a bright luster shine to leather. A final coat of wax, buffed with a rag will give the leather a great finish.

To form fit the sheath to your knife, soak the sheath in water until it is dripping wet. Set it aside and let the water run off until the leather is cool and damp. Put your knife into the sheath and using a bone folder, which is nothing more than a slick, round rod made of nearly anything, press the leather into the crease of the knife to wet form (stretch) the leather to mold around the knife. The idea is to mold the leather to form around the knife adding some eye appeal and basically locking the knife into place.
