my poor quiver took a BEATING this year with 16 straight days in the jungle and a few of those being super wet.
I've had a custom knife from yesteryear that has a hardened sheath....water has never even moistened it.....so i get to learning about hardening leather.
Pretty simple task....warm leather. Melt wax. Saturate leather....make sure it's warm enough to not take any more wax.....and done.
All I can say is that all leather goods deserve this treatment if they are going to see weather.
Solid, waterproof and looks like new.....all for about a buck and a half.
