bladegrinder Report post Posted October 7, 2013 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChuckBurrows Report post Posted October 7, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
