Probably most people already know, but it's important to use
vegetable-tanned leather, rather than chrome-tanned.  The later leeches out
acid that destroys tool steels.  Most leather used for clothing or
upholstery is chrome tanned, and not suitable for sheaths, holsters, or
anything that comes into prolonged contact with steel.
