    This sheath was something I custom made when I first started playing around with leather. Never made a pattern for it

    Hermann Oak Backpack
    The drum dyed Hermann Oak is so stiff that it easily holds its form so I didn't add any structure on the inside. It is treated with a few coats of Obernauf's so even a good rain wouldn't soften it up too much.

    Got tired of constantly sharpening the blades that comes with it. Also the factory blades are thicker and hard to pull through thick leather unless recently sharpened. I started using regular box razor blades and they seem to work much better. They are thinner and glide through thick leather like butter plus you just replace it with a fresh blade when needed. Been doing this for awhile and never had them slip out or anything.....Surely I'm not the only one doing this?

    http://www.exoticleather.biz/wholesale/ I can't vouch for their wholesale side of things but probably worth sending them an email about the wholesale price of toad hides.
