Chapter 705: 705. Leather Grip

Grey tossed strips of leather and a few small clamping and pinching tools. "Those are from a storm bisson. They ravage the desserts during the rainy seasons and have incredibly tough hides, especially when processed in to leather. It is moldable after being soaked in water so you have to add it to the hold and shape it to your hand as fast as possible. Then you need to get it in to the fire without burning the leather but only drying it." Grey was sure that Walker would fail this part since most would burn the leather the first time. 

Walker on the other hand pulled the dagger from the forge again and placed it in the warmed oil to cool it slightly. After hearing the sizzle calm down he pulled the dagger out and mounted it in the slot of the anvil for wrapping hilts.
