chrom tanned verus veg. tanned leather
Greybeard replied to Shifty's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
As Stated I THINK, I read that chrome tanned leather had salt in it. Not to be confused with it DOSE have... I have not seen Corrosion on any Guns or Knives due to Holsters of any type ( I Do not store Mine holstered ). By all means I am Defiantly Not a Chemist Nor a Expert in anything having to do with the Tanning Process (or Leather working for that manner), But my interest stretch far and wide . I let my fingers do the walking all over this here Internet, and I'd say that I retain about 60% of what I see and Read... Ill have to do some investigation and see what I find. I Have Avoided Using Chrome Tanned Leather for Holsters and Sheaths Based on that info I "Read" and that may have been Ignorant of me considering I didn't Know the source. -

Not usually, but if you get a lot of sun exposure colors are more prone to bled out (IE.. black spreading) or lighter colors fading. ( Note ): to those who get tattooed for longevity of your tattoos, Use sun block when you go out. Take a little time to protect your investment... WC if you are ever in Fl, (Daytona Beach Area )Look me up and Ill touch up that tat for you (No Charge).
