I'm pretty sure that neutral dubbin doesn't discolour the leather but I dear say that it may pay to try it on a test patch 1st. There is a product back in NZ called Snowseal that I have used before that doesn't change leather colour. It is a clear wax based product. Excellent waterproofing too.

Oiled all blades as well yesterday, and rubbed a few sheaths with Dubbins

@HL 2 weeks that's cruel, hope your MoD doesn't confiscate it lol

Slowly taking shape

looking good that's amazing to see.
Nothing arrived this morning, bummer

@ 3D, that Bowie is so big, I'm not sure if the MoW could lift it!

@ OD, that looks friggin awesome mate! Is that photo pre-dubbin or post? no discolouration?

Getting some dubbin today, have been asked to make some tac pouches to hold an led Lenser and 2 x .38 speed loaders and a knife roll lolol

I would kill for a decent knife roll.
I brought one and first time I inserted a knife it cut.
you can see cut near my chefs knife
I have some dyed roo skins here If you want to make one out of that??
@HL puts a whole new meaning to the saying "That's a knife" eh

No probs at all TD, can make 1 up for you :beer:

All sealed and ready to use.
