- This time I make a leather rattlesnake snakeskin sheath using vinegaroon (aka, vinegar black). This is a companion piece to my earlier leathercraft video where I make a knife sheath for a Buck 119. Also check out my vinegar black/vinegaroon video.

I forgot just how much I love the Buck style sheaths. That blade strap design is genius and I love it
I had to get a custom sheath made for my Buck 124 because i am left handed, so i went to a saddle maker and had one made. You people are true artists .
You make bad ass works of art.
You have great attention to detail and produced a beautiful sheath. As a Bladesmith and leather worker myself there are a couple of things I would have done differently. With the snake skin I would have cut it slightly smaller than the rest of the pattern all around so that the finished edge would be all veg tan and easier to polish. Also I use the my drill press to punch holes but I use an awl tip instead of a needle because it makes a diamond shaped hole that lines up the stitching better.
Two things I learned from you is that denim will remove bits of glue from the edge and to have more patience when doing the work.
Thanks for the great vid, Lee
Great tip on the skin sizing... totally makes sense. Bladesmith here too.
Absolutely great leatherwork. The background flute music, though, is the stuff of nightmares.
Amigo, su arte no debe terminar, espero que usted lo transmita a nuevas generaciones. Es usted un genio trabajando el cuero.
I have that same Buck knife. If you'll send me that sheath, I promise to use it. 😊
That's a beautiful piece of work that anyone would be proud to have. I appreciate your abilities as a craftsman. Great project!
Man alive...the black leather & light color stitching makes the snakeskin POP!!! There isn't a better looking sheath for that Buck..anywhere!
Ridiculously well done bro👍👍👍
Very nice high quality work but an artist as well
WOW… really beautiful work 😁👍
Wow came out so beautiful
Thank you!
You have presented so many useful "tips". Thank you for showing your lovely work!
Beautiful attention to detail.
Beautiful work mate! Most enjoyable to see!
The 119 is my edc, I wish the belt loop pivoted like on the 120 sheath I've had since the early 70's.
Absolutely beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.
You do great work, such a beautiful piece of art...
tremendous video as usual. i appreciate your thoroughness.
Beautiful!
You are a biggest master! 👏😊
Excellent stuff, brother!!!
I agree with the comment about cutting thee snake skin slightly smaller. sewing around the design point instead of the spot I would consider better looking. I would use a sealer like Tan Coat ( KOTE) and put it on everything including the skin. I'm not familiar withe the Aussie product. thanks great job.
Thanks for the comment!
Great tip about using denim instead of a slicker. It's clear that you put a lot of care into your work. Beautiful sheath.
Simply amazing. Poetry.
Excellent Craftsmanship! Outstanding!
Christ Bless You for your abilities!
Like the little pre-sanding with the blocks. Looks like it makes finish sanding go super quick. Going to look into the penetrating vinegaroon dye as well. I really like working with exotics like Ostrich leg and lizard as well. Think you tripled the value of that Buck 😆 Subbed
Amazing skill with lestherwork. Beautiful sheath....perfection !
amazing video, ive never thought of using a needle on a drill press
Beautiful Work!
Nice Job, the only thing I would have done is sown the belt loop on the sheath it's self. I don't trust rivets alone to hold anything. Enjoyed watching your craftsmanship. Best Regards
Hey everyone look he's doing stuff with his hands!! Making something it's almost like magic😳 ive been binge watching this channel it's oddly relaxing and i love old west gun belts and holsters 🤠
Great job!!
Beautiful! Very well done! Greetings from Austria!
Wow👍 Speechless! I want something like that for my 119 special pro.
Looks amazing..
thats really good work
That is a really awesome sheath. I got past the first vinegaroon video just thinking it was cool but now you really made me want to try it with this one. I love that tone of black it gives that is different from the Fiebings and the finish it gets with the conditioner is just fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful job. Loved the style. I was curious about using the piece you cut out for the window, under the window. This would elevate the snake skin to become even with the edges. You could even put some between them to be a pillow under the skin. Then, sew the back with a solid piece of 2 or 3 oz. Great work. I loved it.
Thanks for watching! That's what I did on my "hair-on-hide" holster video. For this sheath, I insetted the snakeskin to give it some level protection.
Beautiful, Bravo.
Looks awesome.
I've been doing leather work for 20 years or so, mostly sheaths, holsters, some belts. I also live in Arizona and have caught probably a hundred rattlesnakes live in hand in my life. So I have a few skins, I've been meaning to do an inlay. Great tutorial, nice work. I do use waxed thread on my saddle stitching, any thoughts on why you dont? Just asking from down around Tucson
I just use the thread from my sewing machine . . . T270 bonded nylon . . . for literally everything. Makes it easy :)
T270 is the best thats what I use. Try it you won't go back
wow amazing. thanks for share !
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏
Uma obra de arte 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s very beautiful I’ve got a lot of tools stamps really almost all the stuff I need is just having the No how
Hermosa funda, una obra de arte, excelente acabado, es una chulada, lo felicito usted tiene un gran talento extraordinario 👍🏻
wow, you are incredibly...um, incredible..this is fantastic work, i actually watched this whole video, i gasped when the snake skin almost got stuck to the wrong part lol great work sir
and snakeskin is VERY thin and fragile-feeling!
@@RoadAgentLeather when you were cutting it I thought I would never have the courage to cut it lol
Thank you for the inspiration!
If you ever have time, please make a hunting knife sheath for a Buck 119 that has no shiny parts showing.
I made one myself, but its not anything great. I put a goatskin cover on the handle to cover the shiny part and a skirt to cover the other shiny part thats between the blade and the handle.
Makes the knife look really business like all darked out like that.
Very Nice work. New subscriber.
Ohhh que cosa más linda!! Felicitaciones al artesano. Saludos desde Chile.
Just a quick question or two about the snake skin. Do look for a specific tanning process? Who do you purchase skins from? Do you treat the skin (other than alcohol cleansing) before gluing to leather? What glue do you use to adhere the skin to the leather backing? What do you finish the skin with, TanKote or something else? Rattlesnake skins are expensive and I do not want to ruin it and I want it to last on the sheath or holster. Thank you, Jack
Beautiful
There's only one word you can say for this b e a utiful!
Nice Sheath
Belíssimo trabalho !!
I have the same knife as well as a Kbar. I love them. Great work. I like the snake skin look for that particular blade. I would buy a pattern if you made one!
ha. Thanks! The "pattern" is the sheath it comes with new. In my previous sheath video you see me tearing the original apart to copy.
Stupenda custodia 👏👍
Very Nice!
Just a gorgeous build. Wish you would have added a little more script as to what products you are using
Thanks
let me know if there's anything in particular I can explain and I can answer it here in the comments.
What type of spray adhesive did you use to stick the snakeskin to the leather?
@@RoadAgentLeather What type of spray adhesive was in the orange can?
@@RoadAgentLeather Gorilla Glue?
So nice bro
Very nice work. I hope I get to the level of skill you are. Q: how long after applying the neatsfoot oil can you proceed ....does the neatsfoot oil need time to 'soak in' and dry? or can you keep on working the project right away? Thanks for sharing.
Looks great.. I wonder thought, why did you not put stitching all the way to the Point on the straight side of the Sheath? Thanks.
Great craftsmanship and details, did I see a model ship in the background under construction? I would like to see it’s progress if possible
yep! I have a build log on shipsofscale.com under the user name "Chakotay"
Man that's gorgeous. I have a couple questions. What kind of glue do you use? And, what did you apply after you rubbed the edges with denim?
It's Renia Aquilim 315 Contact Cement. Non-toxic, Water-based, and low odor (well, at least not a chemical odor like other contact cements). The edges were painted with Fiebing's Edge-Kote.
Impressive work! Do you worry about scratches on the blades finish from the rivet seats?
Not really. The rivets are set pretty flush and are of much softer steel than the blade.
Nice built, btw. I like your videos without music better.
To beautiful to be a dangler…..
Your craftsmanship is beautiful to watch a question from someone who knows nothing about leather work. Why do you put the belt loop on rough side out, it looks wrong.
I usually install belt loops rough-side-out so that it provides extra "grip". Helps keep it from sliding around.
Awesome
Great job I wont this knife
The Best perfection
Beautiful work! Where do you source your snakeskin?
There's a few sellers on eBay who tan their own skins.
Nice job. But for me it says a lot about the maker that pays little to no attention to the back of the project. Thanks for sharing.
Will you be making any more of these for sale? Looking for one that holds 7.5” blade length knife. THANK YOU
Nice
What is the tool / bit that you're using to punch the stitching holes?
Nice work. What would that cost?
Nice work! Does the snake skin require anything special to keep it from drying? Thanks
Fiebing's sells a reptile cleaner/conditioner, however I've never used it. Could use the Aussie, but it would leave the skin shiny; I like the scales to be dead matte. The particular skin I was using was oily (hence, I had to wipe it down with alcohol before I could glue it.)
@@RoadAgentLeather Regarding the oil on the snakeskin, I also wondered if there was any concern on your part in applying Neatsfoot oil prior to gluing up all the edges on the sheath? I have always waited until after gluing the edges and welt to apply the Neatsfoot to the surface of the leather. Is there any concern about the residual oil affecting the bonding strength of the glue?
@@oldoutdoorsguy1157 Ultimately the sheath is sewn together. My thoughts are that the glue is just there to keep everything together until then.
Is that an awl blade you used in the drill press rather than a drill bit?
it's actually a needle from my sewing machine. But you can use an awl blade as well.
I think Your work is IMPECABLE Bravo ,I'm just a student of You tube i do it as a hobby ,working with leather could you be able to tell me where i can buy the Thread ,size and brand that you use for this Sheaths.I thank you in advance.Leo leather works from Florida.
#277 bonded nylon. Same thread I use in my stitcher. I'm not particular to any brand. The color is tan or natural (not white).
@@RoadAgentLeather Thank You for the information.

A quoi sert l'espace qu'il y a au bas du martyr
Sweeeet
Can I buy one?
shoot me an email. It's on my "about" tab on the channel main page.
exotic sheaths are cool, but useing chrometaned leather WILL rust a knife or pisto.
The sheath itself is all veg-tan leather.
