I see that sheathmakers around here use vegetable tanners indeed for custom-made knives. That was my impression as well, and I think you may be right. I will ask and share the answer with you guys.

That dagger, my breathing gets erratic just thinking about it was made by our very own Bookie kami. It's beyond awesome.
Story goes he did it just to see if he could and I can tell you without reservation he CAN!
Never sharpened it since he figured folks would want to be looking at it and I find that to be true. It draws a crowd all on it's own.
He also made the little hatchet in the box too, a magical piece too, it begs to do a little light chopping but that ain't gonna happen either.
