Hi folks,
I have a question concerning the leather sheaths of vintage Schrade knives:
I once owned a big hunting knife #171 UH and at this moment still a big folding knife #LB 8 "Papa Bear" (I will keep this beauty - that´s for sure).
The sheaths of both knives always appeared kinda "wet" (very soft / spongy).
Is there a possibilty to make them somehow stiffer?
Maybe putting the sheath into the oven?
If so, what temperature and duration would you recommend?
Any other alternatives?
Thanks in advance for your help.:thumbup:
