~LEATHER!~

[Dawkind]

Thanks to SID, I'm the PROUDEST owner of two, pristine, Bali-Song 5" leather sheaths to house a couple of my favorite knives!

Very nice, but I would actually caution against using them for long-term storage. The various chemicals used to tan leather, especially back in the days when these two were made, can prove damaging to knives stored in them long-term.

These two look great, but I have noticed that Bali-Song sheaths from this era often have discolored. So, I suspect that there may be some risk.

I hear ya Chuck, on the storage problem. These sheaths have never had a knife in them and they're going to stay like that! I felt very fortunate to have been able to come by these; the only ones I'd ever seen were in the catalog. I leave my knives in their nylon sheaths or wrap them in white cotton from old t-shirts so they don't bang around in the safe deposit box..............
