Then you are done for a long time worrying about the leather shrinking or drying out. Pap Listen to Pappy, he's got it down right. I've been doing it this way for 30 years and it works.

Ironworker Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/24/10 Posts: 301	I have a hieser sheath from the late 40's.It is coated with bee"s wax and hard and not flexable at all. What do I use to strip the leather so I can hopefully recondition the leather. Thanks Walt. Found the list of steps that Grady sent me for restoring sheaths. thanks Edited by Ironworker (07/28/17 03:53 PM) _________________________ Walter Horn RKCC#CM-012 RKS#5924
