What weight leather?
« on: July 31, 2004, 09:04:47 AM »
Need some input on what weight leather to use for traditional sheaths for 35 Green River knives I am building.   These are the traditional blades for mountainman reenactments (belt, buffalo, Dadley, boner and butcher).

8-9 ounce is a guess for the belt blades - lighter for the cookies.   Am I anywhere in the right ballpark?

Thanks,

Ladobe  :bye:
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
