Thank you for the video. Can you do a video on your process for making a knife sheath from the beginning some time? I would love to know when you wet mold a new sheath. Thank you!!
Thank you for an excellent video. I very much like how you talk about the need to "nourish" the leather. I make a dressing with bees wax, mink oil, and pine resin, I know exactly what is in it. With the bees wax the leather is buffable with a brush. The only part of the mix I buy is the mink oil, the bees wax was produced by my bees and the pine resin is gathered in the woods. Thanks again for a very nice video
At the risk or this comment getting deleted again: the Fiebing spec sheet list mink oil in the ingredients and the referenced chemical data sheet states that it is from mink animal fat
We have a product in NZ called Beekind leather oil which is made from plant oils,beeswax, teatree and eucalyptus essential oils, leaves a stunning finish, they have lots of other great products to, I think they are beekindnz .com. Also I'd like to know why you put a lanyard hole at the bottom of the sheaths? Great videos, I am learning such a lot! Cheers from Mike, South Waikato, NZ..
never warm the leather more than 37 celcius. Because it will soak inn water. Leather gets ruined by to much heat. it gets hard yes but the water will penetrate it much more easy. and use a little bit of water when you burnish the edges,then they will be harder and even more shiny. And then you can use beeswax and a hot iron (hold it over a candle a bit)to soak the wax in
Christine Norriss I’m using Golden Mink Oil and I’ve never found it to harden at all , just nourishes nicely and gives a bit of protection without softening the leather too much 👍😊

Stunning work Lois. Thanks for sharing.
Great demo Lois. learning a lot from your videos. keep up the great work.
You are the best ✨
Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing. I've just used ordinary boot polish on mine for years.
Nice work! 😀
You need to get some more of your leather work videos up!
Bravo à vous, superbe étuis.
Hi Lois, love your videos very much 😀 If the golden mink oil is a byproduct of the mink fur industry maybe you could find an alternative?
This used to be made from mink but now is a natural alternative.
It’s a very nice natural leather balm and even nice on your hands 👍

Is that a glass top workbench? Also, are you guys going to have to start making blades with round points?
What is the chemical you are using on the boarder of sheath?
👌

The mink oil will eventually harden, just as neatsfoot oil does, reallyy not ideal..
