Question on leather

[Trekbike]

What do holster makers put on the joined edges of leather to "harden" and smooth out the edges?

I've got a holster that has a raw edge that I would like to "harden".

To burnish the edge of the leather you need a burnishing bone and some Gum Tragacanth (See links below).
