It also helps to oil the leather first.

Skidmores Leather Cream or Dr. Jacksons Hide Rejuv before final assembly will help. They will darken the leather some however.

I learned that spraying the area you are folding with warm water and a little dish soap helps keep the leather on the surface of the bend from crac king. I also will use a french skiver to take just a little off the area of the bend on the flesh side. Of course I have had some pre-cut belt blanks that cracked no matter what I did, just cheap leather.

I love the grips and the holster to match. Where did you get the grips? jbissell@triad.rr.com
