HARD-WEARING, TIMELESS SHEATH LEATHER FOR KNIVES
Pelo Leather’s pride is our vegetable-tanned sheath leather, which we have been crafting for decades and decades.
Our sheath leather is made from strong and durable cowhide and tanned using a special vegetable tanning method. Vegetable tanning is an environmentally friendly method that has been used for thousands of years and only uses natural tannins extracted from plant materials.
Our sheath leather is made from carefully selected top-quality hides.
Our vegetable-tanned sheath leather is ideal for:
- Knife sheaths and other blade covers
- Bags and cases
- Wallets and purses
- Belts
Our sheath leather is offered in four thicknesses – 1.2 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm – and four natural colours.
At Pelo Leather, we have combined the traditional craft of leather making with modern production planning and control methods to ensure that your leather goods are made ethically and sustainably.
Sheath leather is a unique natural product
Pelo Leather’s vegetable-tanned sheath leather is a highly durable natural product. With the right care, it easily stands the test of decades. Our sheath leather has been developed in collaboration with knife sheath makers and is a highly appreciated material.
Items made of sheath leather only grow more beautiful as they age, acquiring a rich patina over time. Over the years, a well-tended sheath leather item only gets better.
Our vegetable-tanned sheath leather is easy to work with and feels pleasant to the touch. It is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic choice for your products.
Each hide is processed individually, with all our leather passing a meticulous quality control for a durable, high-quality result.
We make sheath leather for both domestic and international markets, serving artisans, craftspeople and industrial customers alike.
Cowhide leather is a true natural product that tells a story. It may show natural imperfections, such as little scratches and nicks from when the animal rubbed itself against a cattle brush or a tree to relieve an itch.
