+1 I do this with all my leather sheaths. It improves the retention. And waterproofs it. I throw my sheaths into the oven for about 5 minutes beforehand to open the pores and make the leather pliable for wet forming.
I wish Esee would make the Esee 4x6 (4 by way of the 6) I know the LaserStrike fills most of these needs but I am still not satisfied with its spear point as opposed to the drop point. I also prefer the pointed pommel opposed to the rounded butt of the LS. A 4.5” cutting edge on the Esee 6 frame would make my dreams come true! How about it? Wanna hear something even wilder? The Esee 3x6!!!
