Le Prevo is where I get my leather. They seem the best value.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

cheers what leather would you recommend for a sheath and also some for pouches for fire kit etc
3mm veg tan shoulder should do it. Bearing in mind sheath leather is heavy for a reason. As for pouches etc, I usually use recycled stuff. Old boots, handbags, sofas and even the odd shot bike jacket will get used. You use far softer leather where blades aren't in the equation.
