treated sheaths

[forgedblades]

Good day, I was wondering what you treat your sheaths with and how you get them to fit so amazingly well? Thanks

I simply saturate them in melted bees wax. I melt it down in a crock pot and submerge the sheath, when it stops bubbling it is done and ready to be fitted.

I simply drain the sheath, put the knife in and squeeze around the handle. All the while wiping it off with a cotton cloth.

I hope that helps

Do you fully submerge it so as to get wax on the inside of the sheath as well? Or just the exterior?

Yep, just dunk it in there. Shake it out after and all is well. Sometimes if the wax is not hot enough you will get excessive wax inside the sheath. This can be fixed by heating up a screwdriver and melting it inside there. Let it run out while you are doing this so it all gets out.
