Hi everyone,I make knives and make my sheaths.I've been making my sheaths for about 20 years and always bought my leather from a Tandy place about 25 miles away.I don't know if it's me or tandy's leather but it seems like I can't really find a good piece,or actually I always seem a little disappointed with it when I get home,better light or what I don't know,but lately I seem to be ending up with a few square feet that I don't think I can use.The higher quality leather they have in stock is always to thin or too thick.now I'm getting into carving,thats how I found this forum....So,my question is,I think I want to order my leather from someone else,maybe springfield.I got an e-mail from weaver for 25% off but in their discriptions or classes of leather,I actually couldn't figure out what it is I wanted,guess I should call them.what I have been using is veg. tanned shoulers and sides. any suggestions? Thanks, Steve.

You can't go wrong with Kevin Hopkins and Springfield leather.

I too am a knife and sheath maker and my favorite leather these days is the undyed bark tan shoulders or sides from RJF Leather - Roger is great to work with and the leather is some of the finest I've used in the last 55 years just give him a call ...http://www.rjfleather.com
