Sheath Materials

[knife-kait]

Do you recommend specific woods to make a sheath out of? I assume a hardwood is desired?

I like american polar to work with but should I select another wood because it is too shitty for the blade and oil retention?

If you're referring to Poplar, it's not that hard of a wood species. It's on the softer side of the American hard woods. I don't know how that would hold up over the years.
