Product Introduction - Shark Leather

Here you can see a shark leather background. Atop it sits a Hybrid ring and a bow with stingray leather grip and arrow pass.

Lets get the obvious out of the way first: the ethical concerns regarding sharks and shark products. Sharks are are absolutely critical to our oceans’ ecosystem, many of them are keystone species. That said, not all shark species are endangered or threatened. Our shark leather is exclusively from non-endangered, non-threatened, non CITES shark species (specifically P. glauca.) and are bycatch from lawful fishing. No sharks were harvested for their leather, it is strictly a byproduct. As such, it is not consistently available.

What makes shark leather special? Sharks have tiny tooth-like structures on their skin called denticles, which are common to elasmobranchs. Unlike our stingray leather however, where the denticles are quite large, on our shark leather they’re so small you may need magnification to see them. This gives the leather a glossy smooth, yet rugged finish. It is difficult to photograph, but take our word for it, you’ve probably never handled leather like this before.

As an introduction to this exotic leather, we’re offering leather ring inserts made from it. On average it is just a little thicker than our typical leather, although there is some overlap. Leather, being a natural product, has some variability. For those more adventurous, we offer custom cutting in whatever shape you require. If you have such a project, please message us.
