    Thanks @Puffin.
    Arrived in the mail today
    I used it on my knife sheaths first and must say I am impressed!
    First my postie delivered it around lunchtime and it was bloody hot in the mailbox and it stayed firm and smooth which was surprisingly good.
    I applied it to three knife sheaths which have been treated a few month prior with leather and saddle cream, but lost their shine fairly quick.
    Your leatherfat applies light and smooth and seems to really nourish the leather.
    Wife who knows a thing or two about putting together lotions and potions was very impressed with it too.
    It's not sticky yet stays moisturized, has no smell, just very cool stuff!
    I added some pics from before and after.

    This looks like it could be my new favourite leather fat
