Vegetable-Tanned Water Buffalo Sheath and Holster Leather
Shop Water Buffalo, a vegetable-tanned hide with a natural grain look, for the sheaths and holsters you build, plus key chains and other leather projects. Golden Brown, Crazy Horse Gray and Black are three of seven shades, each an 8-9 oz hide sold in sizes up to 1ft x 2ft.
Water Buffalo's vegetable tan sets off no chemical reaction with metal, which matters on a sheath or holster that spends its working life wrapped around a knife or gun. The same benefit carries over to a key chain and its metal ring.
The hide is known for its durability, which sees a sheath or holster through everyday use, and for a natural grain that gives the finished piece much of its look. At 8-9 oz, it also remains flexible to work with.
The other four shades are Brown, Chocolate Brown, Antique Brown and Antique Chocolate. Sizes vary by color, so check each product page for the 6in x 12in and 1ft x 1ft options.
