Now that little knife is really beautiful, and that means it needs a bit of protection. So I thought I just wanted to fire away instead of getting everything together.
Actually it turned out surprisingly like leather. You can oil it and even do a bit of modelling. It is not as durable, but perfectly okay.

Actually it is another piece of knowledge that is currently sending me arse over teacup down the next rabbit hole.... which is a good thing. ;-)
I love to learn.
