Members TLP Posted December 3, 2015 Members Report Posted December 3, 2015 What should I use for a liner on a knife sheath? will be using a chicago screw for part of the sheath and do not want to scratch the knife blade. Quote
Members sideforce Posted December 4, 2015 Members Report Posted December 4, 2015 I use pig or elk. Both are thin with excellent durability. Quote
Members dikman Posted December 6, 2015 Members Report Posted December 6, 2015 Kangaroo? It's relatively thin and tough. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 6, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted December 6, 2015 Just about any thin leather would suffice...provided...that it's veg tan. While it isn't a guarantee of instant corrosion, there's a concern that some types of chrome tanned leather may cause corrosion over time due to the chemicals that *might* still be in the leather. There are other factors, such as the blade steel, any finishes on the blade, etc. Quote
Members 1961Mike Posted December 30, 2015 Members Report Posted December 30, 2015 Hi I generally use a layer of 2-3 ounce leather for the liner and one for the outside, using he thicker stuff for the welt. Just my $0.02. Quote
Moderator Art Posted December 30, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 30, 2015 Generally, veg tan outside, and thinner veg tan inside. If you have a piece with some heavy marks, use that on the inside, keeping in mind that there will be places where the backing will show. Art Quote
