Our take on the Waterbuck Utility Side

This is a full waterbuck side in chrome-tanned leather, sold as a single hide averaging 21 to 25 square feet at 5 to 6 oz. (2.0 to 2.4 mm) thick. That weight puts it in the range of sturdy utility leather, suited to belts, straps, sheaths, bags and other pieces that need body rather than drape. It is a natural hide, so the grain, scars and color vary across the side, which is part of the appeal for makers who want character. Compared with cowhide utility sides, waterbuck is a less common African game leather, so it draws buyers looking for a distinctive grain and a firm hand.

Questions and answers

What can I make with a 5 to 6 oz. side?
It suits belts, straps, knife sheaths, holsters, bag panels and pouches. At 2.0 to 2.4 mm it has enough body to hold shape without being stiff like sole leather.
Is chrome-tanned leather good for tooling?
Chrome tan is not the best choice for carving or stamping. Veg-tan leather takes tooling far better. Chrome tan is chosen for durability and moisture resistance.
How much leather is in one side?
A side averages 21 to 25 square feet, or about 1.95 to 2.32 square meters. Actual yield varies because each hide has a different shape and edge trim.
Will the color match from side to side?
No. This is a natural tan hide, so shade, grain and markings vary between sides and across a single side. Expect some variation in any project.
How does waterbuck compare with cowhide?
Waterbuck is a firmer, less common game leather with a distinctive grain. Cowhide is easier to source and more consistent, but less unusual in look.
Where is the Waterbuck Utility Side cheapest?
At Tandy Leather, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
