Any Way To Keep A Knife Sheath Supple?

I’ve got some knives made by Marbles, and some knives from Sweden. My dad had a knife of his that he got 40 years ago, that had a leather strap, become very brittle and the snap broke as he was trying to unlatch it. So I was wondering if there was any way to maintain sheath leather, because I can see a lot of my knives getting like that if I don’t do anything.

    I use saddle soap on everything I have that is leather, but my boots (will ruin them).
    Just take an old rag, and rub and rub and rub. It will give the shine back to the leather. It works wonders :)

    You can use saddle soap. If you want to make leather really supple I found a coat of Ballistol lube works wonders. However It will darken the leather. Not blacken mind you but darken it like it was wet.

    * Clean first with Saddle Soap, let dry then apply linseed oil.*

    Olive oil works good on holsters and sheaths… neatsfoot lets formed goods stretch out of shape.
