hahaha, indeed, you could call it the natural equivalent of kydex in a way... You can form it when wet instead of hot. If you knock on a sheath made from this leather it sounds like knocking on an empty box or something. I then used beeswax on the sheats... A few layers applied with a hairblower... it then became even harder and more rigid. Be aware that it is a bitch to cut grooves in and even the cutting is almost impossible to do in one go. One advantage over kydex is of course that it is leather and as such is breathes...
