Sheath Making

Sorry not a tutorial "P but I have started carrying some products for sheath making

RTC Sheridan Resist & Finish. Used to protect areas from antique paste
#1 Saddle oil for conditioning the leather after tooling, replaces Neetsfoot oil
Mink oil paste for water proofing
ProCarv concentrate, quicker than casing with straight water

I like the Ulticlip John...I have no need of them currently, but when I do I will get a few for sure. The video on the 2.2 and how nice it would sit in pocket on a knife and sheath built for that type of carry intrigued me. I’m working on a knife for that purpose to fit a Jean/pant front pocket.

 

I decided to have an introductory sale on Ulticlip to celebrate my becoming an Official Canadian Dealer

Quick question for you guys. What is the best acid for etching blades and where would I find it?

 

you can use vinegar, coffee or muriatic acid from the hardware store.

there is also Nital and others if you are into mixing up chemicals

 

I use ferric chloride. Get it at an commercial electronics store

 

Mustard works very well!
