Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 29, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted October 29, 2018 Looking for something with teh marbled look -- like you'd see in horween or a pullup leather -- but in a veg tan that will wet form. ?? Checked about 20 places with no luck. Only need enough to do a knife sheath for a fella, but I'd take a bit more if I could find it. Not interested in a side, but might be willing to buy a bend or double shoulder if it was nice. Something in gray - blue - slate type shades? In about a 6, 7 or 8 oz (though I could live with a 5) Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 29, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 29, 2018 Something like this would work, if it was either veg tanned in 6-8 oz, or if it was thinner I could glue it to some veg tanned ... this is the approx color and effect I want. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Oxford-XCEL-Blue-Ink-Pre-Cut-12x-24 Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Stetson912 Posted October 29, 2018 Members Report Posted October 29, 2018 I'm stumped. All I found was these. https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/view-all-leather/products/pueblo-veg-tanned-leather-1oz-1-2mm-made-in-italy https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/view-all-leather/products/waxy-veg-tanned-leather-4-5oz-1-8mm- Both a bit on the light side andnonenis waxy. District leather supply had a small piece of the Pueblo in heavier thickness in a gray color. But I'm unsure about the streakiness from the picture. Quote
Members Matt S Posted October 29, 2018 Members Report Posted October 29, 2018 How about a piece of Horween Round Up? It's a veg-tanned horse leather in about 10 colours and has a great pull-up effect. A bit thin and floppy for a knife sheath on its own but if you line it with some stiffer veg it's make a very striking knife sheath. Only problem is it comes as a double horse front (about equal to a double shoulder), which is probably more leather than you want to buy for a couple little jobs. You may be able to find someone who will sell you a smaller piece (likely for 4x the $ per SQFT though). http://www.aacrack.co.uk/tannnage-ranges/horween/horween-round-up.html Quote

Nice looking stuff, and that IS the marbled look I'm interested in. A bit thick, though, by the time you glue to something else it's a bit much for this knife (blade about 4 1/4"). Marking them for later, though 2 hours ago, Stetson912 said: I'm stumped I was there first That first link looks nice. This is basically something I'm doing for a guy who ordered something ELSE and who was so durn friendly I agreed to make him a knife sheath too. He isn't too worried about beauty, just wants his knife protected while brush stomping. Between that and the marbled handle, got me thinking "pull up" leathers. Sheaths aren't my "thing", but it's a case for a nice knife belonging to a nice guy, so ... Nice lookin' knife, so gonna give him something he can actually like Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

It does come in a 3-4 oz and we will cut whatever sqft you would need. We will however split it down more if you need. I am not sure how thin we can go on that though. Hopefully this helps some.
