This may have been addressed some time in the past so forgive me if its redundant BUT other than the waxed sheath how do you preserve the brown or black leather sheaths?
Do nothing if they're kept dry, or, use Renaissance wax or??
Appreciates the 'wisdom' or the 'experienced' owners.
Thanks!!

Back in the "old days", a gentleman would never have worn a pair of shoes till he had first used Kiwi on them. This protected them from scuffing, but also helped preserve the leather.

In the military, we used Kiwi for spit-shining our cordovans, but first we would burn off the alcohol in the polish.

I personally, would use Ren wax on any new sheath, especially if it's going to be a user. Any good shoe shop has other excellent leather preservatives for sale.

Hi Mike,
I use Blackrock Leather "N" Rich on my sheaths.It is a great product for new or old sheaths.Easy to use & great results.You can find it on the internet,some saddle & leather shops or from RMK Dealer Tom Clinton.
Hope this helps.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

Jim & Dubie - thanks for your initial inputs! I'll refine the question a bit. What if the knife/sheath is meant as a collectable with no intentions of exposure to the 'elements' other than storage in a somewhat controlled environment i.e. air conditioned with not a huge swing in tempeature during the 'seasons'? Would you do anything different?
thanks again to all

Mike,
I use the Blackrock,but 99% of my sheaths are JRB & older.
They're kept the same as yours in a pretty constant environment.Hope this helps.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
