Here's the knives I've made for this sheath. Only have picture of three, but made four so far.

 

Cool

I like em, but I feel like it needs some neatsfoot oil so it doesn't feel and look so dry...

I want to slick the flesh side of the leather. I made a couple more sheaths (inprogress). One is saddle tan and other chocolate Fiebings oil dye. Will resolene work as a slicking agent for the flesh side? I have a bottle of it coming in the mail at some point. 

 I tried water on the belt loop after a little sanding. It's just ok but doesn't really look that great. Don't have a pic of that.

Mix the Resolene 50/50 with water, apply with a brush to the inside of the sheath, wait a couple minutes and then slick down with a bone folder or something similar.  Then let it dry completely for about 24 hours and it should be pretty slick.

I'll try the 50/50 tonight. Package arived today.

The 50/50 mix of Resolene worked like a reallywell. This is veg tan belly leather.  It's very fibrous on flesh side. 

Thanks again... David
