Wapiti, How much are the leatherman sheaths of actual leather?
My nylon one is getting a bit tatty after more than 12 years of every day use...

My leatherwork is very basic and practical so far I've made six of these this one is for the original Leatherman the other five have been for my sons and a couple of friends to fit the Leatherman Wave this one is around 25 years old as you can see looks a bit battered it's just a copy of the original i tend to make things a small as possible as I'm a bit of a fat bugger I don't like bulky things hanging off my belt

They're hand-made so yeah, bloody good value from their stuff.
They are the go-to leather gear out this way, you can always tell a "local" from their belts, pouches and the other obvious things.

OK, went to Kents, Bought a sheath for leatherman.Did in person, as online = never sure about size, same as boots.
Good size, quality looks ok so far, (get back to me in 5-30 years), comes with leather dressing.
$57

Thanks for the tip, I advised a hunting colleague put me on to them.

[Wapiti]

Yeah, the little free pot of leather dressing!
Glad you find the stuff as good as we do mate.
Check out the places that supply their gear as workwear on the big properties, their stuff is bloody famous.

OK, just to follow on regarding my Brass Catcher,,

The High Temp sleeves that I ordered, to make the catcher bag itself arrived today.
Here are a few pics.
As it is, in the pics,, it'll be way too long, so I will cut it in half, sew the ends shut, and end up with two bags from one sleeve.
By pure luck they are the perfect size for fitting on to the fibreglass end of the catcher.

Maybe in the future I'll get around to making some more to fit some of my other rifles.

I tried out my case catcher for the 300 Blk last night, and it performs really well.
So glad because I was sick of losing cases in the dark and over the side into the grass and bushes.

Glad it worked, DJ.
