SHOP CASE KNIVESThe JANTZ Supplies 12 x 12 Leather Square AG512 is a premium-grade piece of leather built for makers who demand both form and function from their materials. Cut from 100% natural vegetable-tanned top grain cowhide, this leather square offers the strength, durability, and classic character that only top-tier hide can provide. Carefully selected from the back and sides of the cow, this is top-of-the-line leather with a firm temper and clean surface, well suited for precise detail work or heavy-duty utility.
At 9-10oz in weight, it offers a firm yet flexible feel—ideal for projects that require structure without sacrificing workability. Whether you're forming a rugged belt, crafting a custom holster, or building a traditional knife sheath, this leather performs with reliability and consistency. The square measures a true 12" x 12", giving you a manageable piece to work with, whether you're prototyping a small design or adding to a larger build.
Its natural finish takes beautifully to dyes, oils, and antique treatments, giving you full control over the final tone and texture. From deep rustic browns to rich blackened patinas, the surface responds evenly to finish work, enhancing both aesthetics and durability. Tooling, stamping, molding, and embossing are all smooth and satisfying thanks to the consistent grain and responsive surface, making this square a favorite for both seasoned craftsmen and new hobbyists alike.
This leather is more than just raw material—it’s the foundation of functional gear that’ll last for generations. It shapes well, wears hard, and ages with character. Whether you're outfitting a custom carry setup or restoring a vintage piece, this square gives you the edge you need in both quality and versatility. Order it today from SMKW!
