Members lostwolf Posted December 6, 2012 Members Report Posted December 6, 2012 I've been doing a lot of knife sheaths lately and have been wondering about the effects of using dye inside the sheath on the knifes. I currently don't don't dye the inside of my sheaths. The more I make the more I'm wanting to dye the inside. I'm afraid that the dye may have some effect on the blades or the knifes that are carried in them. I'm using Eco-Flo and Fiebing's depending the the color. What are you opions and what have you seen?

Moderator Art Posted December 6, 2012 Moderator Report Posted December 6, 2012 I dye inside and out. I also spray Bag Kote in when finishing. If I use an acrylic finish on the outside, I use something like Bag Kote on the inside to allow the leather to "breathe". I use only Fiebing's pro or spirit dyes. Make sure the dye is dry and buffed before finishing, you don't have to buff or brush the inside. Art Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
