leather thickness

Recommended Posts

I recently switched from tandy as a supplier for leather to a Herman oak supplier.  I need knife sheath leather and am curious if I want to get 7/8 or 8/9 oz I do small to medium sized 6-9 inch overall and a variety of sheath styles ( scout, dangler pancake etc.)  the stuff I've been buying is a double shoulder in 7-9 oz and it has worked well but i'm not sure what oz exactly I've been using due to the large range there.  so what are your suggestions

I have had great success with using 6-7 oz. leather for any knife sheath projects that I have taken on; and I only use Hermann Oak.  Quit using Tandy very long ago for leather when they started importing the lesser tannages that they sell.
