Chattanooga Leatherworks Craftsmanship

Chattanooga Leatherworks began in 2016 when founder Ben Beasley brought decades of traditional leather craftsmanship to the blade industry. Learning the craft alongside his grandfather in a small-town saddlery, Ben developed a deep appreciation for leather's resilience and versatility. This vegetable-tanned leather undergoes traditional tanning processes that create superior strength and aging characteristics.

Leather Sheath Maintenance

Proper care ensures your leather knife sheath maintains its protective qualities and aesthetic appeal for decades. Clean your sheath periodically with warm water to remove dirt and debris, avoiding harsh chemicals. Apply quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and maintain flexibility. Store in a dry environment and allow natural air drying if exposed to moisture.
