Water Buffalo
So I got a good deal on a full side of Water Buffalo hide.
It is 7-9 oz. leather that is very soft and playable.
I have been thinking of using it to make possible bags or something like that.
But today I made a knife sheath with it.
I'm not too sure about how it's going to work out but it looks neat.
This leather has a cool natural texture but it could be too flexible for a knife sheath.

Re: Water Buffalo
I do admit it is neat looking and I don't have to tool or stain it. Cut, stitch, install snaps and it's done.

And like I said, its flexible.

I like it.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Re: Water Buffalo
Looks good. Any thoughts on maybe lining it with something to stiffen it up?
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Good looking stuff.
Re: Water Buffalo
I gave it to my wife. She has a knife that will fit it and it won't get carried.
I just don't think this leather is safe to carry a knife.
And if I need to put a stiffener in it, I might as well just use the veg tanned.

Re: Water Buffalo
That is pretty amazing looking leather for "as-is". I agree, that would make an outstanding possibles bag!
