sideforce Report post Posted December 4, 2015 I use pig or elk. Both are thin with excellent durability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1961Mike Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
