Just a thought, I noticed that the spring in the button socket are listed as Normal action, Easy action, and Hard action. Would you know which one you are using? John S.

Main Thread has a free thread color and size chart. I have one and it comes in real handy. John S.

You can try a little super glue in gel form. put a small dab on a tooth pick and insert it in the cut and close it. Try not to get any on the outside. John S.

Thanks everyone for your replies, It does look like some neatsfoot came to the surface. In the last 24 hours it has faded a little. It all started when I was applying wax and heating it. I rubbed wax into the mouth of the sheath and I must have got a little to much heat in that area. I had the hair drier pointed directly into the mouth of the sheath. Its all making sense now. I need to be a little more careful. Thanks again, John

ok, the two blotches are up at the mouth of the sheath. Thanks, John

Thanks Cheryl, I've been thinking (stressing) about this and maybe when I heated the leather the pores opened and leached out some neatsfoot oil. I applied it only two days ago. I'm hoping if this happened it will reabsorb.and the spot will go away. Any other thoughts always welcome. Thanks, John

I've came to the final step on an undied knife sheath. Edit, i forgot to mention that I treated the sheath with neatsfoot oil about two days earlier. I was putting a coat of sno-seal on and heating up the leather with a hair drier. during the process I noticed a dark blotch that was not there before. I tried to wet the hole sheath but it is now waterproof because of the sno-seal applied. I'm not sure what caused this (water or maybe overheat the wax). Would any one have sudgestions how to get rid of it? Thanks, John
