Product Questions
Are your product made in Australia
Yes RMK is certified Australian Owned & Made - Licence ID: 13463

Do you take on custom work?
That depends on the request, we do a lot of custom work for business to business clients for larger quantities. When it comes to one off customs builds I usually need to respectfully decline, so we can keep up with our own product demand. You never know unless you ask! If I can't help you personally, I'll do my best to point you in the right direction to connect you with a craftsmen who takes on one off custom requests.
Do your Leatherman Holsters suit the Leatherman bit sheets and other accessories?
No sorry. they are designed to carry the multi tool only. I have tried making an all inclusive holster that carries all the accessories but it ended up far too bulky!
What leather do you use for your products and where is it manufactured?
When it comes to the leather we use, our primary focus is quality and we try to support our local tanneries as much as possible. Approximately 50% of the leather we use is Australian made and the rest is imported from Italy and the USA. Our leather goods are made from a range of vegetable tanned and chrome tanned leathers each carefully selected for the product type. If you have further questions about the origins of our materials just ask.

Yes we can! If you don't see your badge profile listed on the website, it means I haven't designed the badge cut out panel for that specific badge. Im happy can custom fit it for you. This service is no extra charge but it requires I have the badge in hand to custom fit.

What maintenance is required with RMK leather goods?
While leather is a tough material, it’s important to remember that it is in fact skin. It can dry, crack, stain and warp if it's not cared for. Look after your leather goods and they will last!
Leather goods require varying levels of care depending on their use, environment and leather type. If left in sunlight, leather will start to lighten. If left in certain temperatures such as an air conditioned room, the leather may start to dry out. When leather products look or feel dry, this is a good indication that they need to be conditioned because dry leather is weak leather.
We recommend Oakwood Leather Conditioner, which is Australian made and doesn't darken your leather gear when applied. You can purchase it here.
Rub a small amount of conditioner in your hands and apply it to your leather product. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then wipe away any excess conditioner with a soft cloth.
- Small everyday carry leather goods such as wallets and key fobs won't require any maintenance if you carry them everyday. The natural oils from your hands will be enough to keep the leather from drying out and develop a nice patina.
- Sheaths should be conditioned as required so if it appears dry, condition it. It's also a good idea to apply a small amount of leather conditioner before and after a trip, especially if you have been around salt water.
- Belts should be conditioned at least once every 6 months, usually more if you've been around salt water.
The majority of our products won’t require much maintenance or conditioning. If you purchase anything made from Crazy Horse leather, it should not be conditioned as it will darken significantly. If you have any questions on leather care and maintenance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Do RMK products have a warranty?
We pride ourselves in our craftsmanship and quality materials. We therefore standby the durability of our products stitching and hardware, as long as they are used for their intended purpose. If for some reason stitching breaks or hardware fails on any of our products, please contact us and we will repair or replace it as soon as possible.
If you order a holster with an adjustable snap or a belt with Chicago screws, it's important to occasionally check they are done up tight to avoid losing any. In the event that hardware is lost there is page for parts and maintenance in the website menu.
We aim to make our products strong to last, but regular wear and tear throughout life's adventures is unavoidable.
Do you make pistol holsters?
Not at this stage, I'd like to one day.
Do you make extra long belts to suit big blokes?
We cut out belt straps to 1800mm long which makes a belt to suit a maximum of a 48 inch waist
Common Knife Sheath Questions
Can I fit another knife in an existing RMK sheath?
We don’t recommend using our sheaths for a different knife. The leather for the welt and sheath is carefully selected to suit the blade and scale thickness for a secure fit. If you try to put a different knife with a different blade profile and scale / blade thickness, you could damage the sheath. This would be considered misuse.
Why don't your sheaths have keeper straps? Don't they just fall out
RMK sheath designs don't require keeper straps unless the knife has a cross guard like a KABAR USMC. We create two stage retention via the blade and scales through tapered welts and quality hardware. This allows quick, easy and secure access to your bush craft knife when you need it.
Should I store my knife in the sheath when it's not in use?
A leather sheath is not a long term storage solution. When the knife is not in use at home, it should be stored outside of the sheath.
Can you put custom stamps on products?
Yes we can! Custom branding is our specialty!
Names can be stamped on the interior or exterior of our wallets and various other products. We charge a one time fee of $20 the stamp can be reused anytime in the future. The option to add a text stamp of up to 16 characters to our classic wallet is currently available. Please inbox us if you're looking to add a stamp to a themed wallet or for any other custom stamp requests.
Can you stamp my logo / club emblem on a wallet or other product?
Yes! We can make custom stamps to use on many of our products. We just need a quality clip art image of the logo. A black and white vector image is preferred but we can work with a decent size jpeg if need be. Stamp pricing depends on size and the quality of the artwork. Please contact us for a quote.
Can you make me a logo stamp for my own leather work?
Our stamps are made from acrylic so they are better suited for presses rather than mallets. If you have a press, we would be happy to make you stamps
