They are soft leather and all really look like they have been made from soft gloves and had a snap added

to them. They are in varied colors of beige,brown,gray,black.

The purse's seem to add an air of treasure to them. Protection of the treasured knife !

* I think the pic's are great!

Both of ours have benefited from Renaissance Wax. They were treated @ the same time .. used more than advised .. and rubbed it in quite thoroughly.

Honest pocket wear is being implemented for the final treatment .. of mine. This is a lengthy stage ..years.. literally. Supplemented with the occasional abundance of .... more Renaissance Wax.

The other is undergoing a similar final stage of treatment .. albeit .. somewhat lighter. i.e. The knife is in the purse, the purse is in one of those "shoe shine" gloves found in hotel rm complimentary baskets, all are nested safely in an interior pocket of purse .. 'n zipped away. Supplemented with the occasional abundance of .... more Renaissance Wax.

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on May 26, 2013 at 20:05: Given the prices & availability .. I'm about to start doing the same.

Comment by J.J. Smith III

Too cheap to buy one. Have to make them myself.

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on May 26, 2013 at 20:03: Everyone who knows me knows I always have a knife.

They still ask ............. "Got a knife?"

It get's treated "real special" ...

when I hand them the Teardrop in the purse !!
