Use & Care:
Using your sheath:
- Make sure your knife is clean and completely dry.
- Slide the blade in slowly and straight, tip first. Never force it.
- Fasten the button to hold the knife in place.
- To remove, undo the button and slide the knife out slowly and straight.
Caring for the leather:
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a lightly damp cloth, then let it air dry.
- Never soak the sheath, put it in water, or put it in a dishwasher.
- If it gets wet, take the knife out and let the leather dry naturally at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun.
- Store it away from heat and strong sunlight, which can dry out and fade leather.
- Every few months, treat it with a good-quality leather conditioner. Test it on a small hidden area first.
- Do not sheath a damp knife. Moisture trapped against the blade is not good for the steel or the leather.
- Genuine leather has natural grain marks and small variations. It softens and gains character with use.
