I'm currently planning (half finished) a wood and part leather sheath for a rehandled new knife blade (finished)
The sheath wood being very well seasoned, stabilised ash. The whole of the blade will be submerged into the ash, and I wondered about rust forming. I know, should have thought of this long before now, but you know how things progress sometimes. Anyone have experience with ash as a sheath?
I seem to remember reading that it was the wood of choice for blade protection. Can I just keep the blade oiled, greased up?
