Liner Material

[TLP]

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.

I use pig or elk. Both are thin with excellent durability.

Kangaroo? It's relatively thin and tough.

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.

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.

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.
