Gentlemen,Is it possible to return a Randall sheath back to the shop for the "wax impregnation" process?
Specifically a brown Model 28 sheath.
Thanks, Gordon

The leather is treated after the sheath is crafted. You can do some home treatment that is almost as good as a real waxed sheath against rain and snow.

Gordon, I am not sure what the RMK Shop offers. I do know I have sent RMK no hone sheaths to Sullivan’s for waxing. As long as your sheath is not black they can wax them, at least they use to. You might reach out to Sullivan’s Leather Shop. attached pics of the 2 waxed sheaths Danny did for me.

Thanks for the replies,I,m going to be down for awhile following my shoulder surgery next month and during my recovery I may try to do my own version of a waxing process.
I will let you guys know how it turns out,it should be fun to try this.
Thanks again, Gordon

If you decide not to try your waxing process, I can do it , cost is $10 per sheath plus shipping.

Eric is correcti on black sheaths.

A sheath can be waxed or black but not both.

I can re-stamp depending on where the original stamp is located.

Danny,
Are the sheaths not always waxed "after" they're completed? I thought I saw, somewhere in this thread, talk of waxed, "prior" to assembly?
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: I'm shooting to get down to you in the next couple of days...CCS
