@yinzer:
That Red Moon looks fantastic. Any details you can share about it?
The new one looks good too I must say.

I really haven't ever done much to maintain the old one. I have used Obenauf's LP on it about once a year. After it dries, I then brush it. But that's about it. Just used and taken care of the best I can
The new one is already wearing in nicely. It's starting to take on some color now and has flattened out like it should. The only bummer was that I ordered it with a leash attachment but they forgot to add it. Rather than send it back to Japan, I added a brass grommet myself. It is bigger than what they use deliberately, so that it has wider flanges to overlap the leather further and make it stronger. They usually use nickel or chrome, so the brass I used looks much better IMHO. I've also since replaced the oval Red Moon jump ring with a heavier, round brass one.
