My new dagger!

The alcohol stretched the leather so it actually molded itself to my feet. It worked so well I used the same method on my Frankenstein gauntlets that were a little too snug as well. Now they fit like a dream. I hadn’t noticed any adverse effects on the leather as yet. :-\

If Frank says it's ok, it's probably ok. He's a professional. I would still recommend oiling it from time to time, especially on high wear things. A lot of modern leather products are sealed and partially waterproofed, medieval stuff is much more susceptible to the elements, so a lot of leather care is dependent on how the leather was finished.

Absolutely a must! Got to give the leather some love every now and then! ... uh, that kind of read like an opening a 'Fifty Shades of Grey' book review! :P

Especially if taken in conjunction with that infamous other post about your "hot" leather pants ;)

You may be thinking of a very similar, yet not exactly the same, model that used to be carried by KOA.
