Wanted Crocodile leather

[Mike Bowler]

Can anyone tell me where to get Crocodile leather from looking for 10" x 3" for a sheath I found somewhere in the Ukraine but I have a lack of trust over there with C/Cards

Thanks

You can get cow leather that has been run through a roller to look exactly like alligator leather. I am not sure if this interests you? There is a piece at my local leather shop and it is a lot more rugged than most real reptile leather I see. They farm alligators in the US so the real stuff is available too but crocs are more of a handful.

I will go over to the leather store this week and dig through the scrap bin and look for some in brown. If I find a chunk I can mail it to you. Likely less than $25Cdn for a knife sheath sized piece shipping in.

They may or may not have it?

very kind of you but I am now thinking of a standard sheath
