Black Leather for sheaths, veg tanned 200 x 250 mm

Vegetable tanned leather for sheaths, 20 x 25 cm (Dyed Jet Black)

High quality Vegetable tanned leather, approx 3 mm thick from Italy. Coloured an even, deep black.

These pieces are cut into 20 x 25 cm in size, should be enough for one sheath of a standard sized knife.

This leather is normal tooling leather ( veg tanned)  and will stay softer and more pliable.

The leather should be sealed and can be dyed more on the edges but note it is already dyed and polished.

 The sheath can be made by folding the leather around the finished knife, and using contact cement to glue it up.

Then punch holes with an awl (or drill holes) and sow the sheath together before cutting off the excess leather and dying it.

The belt loop is either attached from a separate strip, or made as part of the sheath and folded back behind the sheath and sown on.
