Hi All!
I've recently acquired several sheaths and such from a rather talented maker. They are quite beautifully made, and I wouldn't change much about them, other than the fact that they were finished with edge kote instead of wax burnish or dye. Before I had familiarized myself with edge kote, I had mistakenly thought he had used some sort of synthetic epoxy (an idea I found rather irksome). Personally, I much prefer the aesthetics and ergonomics of wax burnishing, and am wondering if there's a relatively simple, surefire way of removing the edge kote without affecting the overall integrity of the existing leatherwork so I can add a burnished edge myself? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
