Maybe a little leather conditioner? Not sure why a sheath needs to be broken in. It shouldn't be flexing a lot or anything. I'd slap a little somehting on it quickly and then use it. Oh, by the way, that's a sweet knife.
Thanks, I really like it. Maybe broken in was a bad choice of words. Its really stiff drawing and resheathing the knife. I know that it should be stiff enough to securely hold the knife but it's a lot tighter than that. It is getting better the more I work it but was looking for some ides to speed the process up.
I tried to leave mine alone. But it was so stiff, between the dangler loop, and the retention strap squeaking, I almost threw the sheath away. I soaked mine in coconut oil. It got softer, and stopped squeaking and was treated with something that was good grade so I don't need to worry about skinning something with it if need be.Leave it alone and wear it in. Conditioner will soften the leather. Soft leather is not what you want on a sheath or holster. There is not strap to secure it, so you need the retention to hold the knife in place.
