Part 7 - Leather Care Tips th-cam.com/video/Moo7n_5WNxE/w-d-xo.html I had questions about what solvent Bob keeps his glue brush in. Here is the answer: Bob uses Barge's Cement glue for the leather. He buys only the yellow and red can in 1 qt quantity at a time. For brushes he gets soldering brushes and cuts the bristles short. Then he gets a long thin jar (as seen in the video), like an olive jar, and keeps his brush in that. Inside that jar he puts some Barge's thinner. That's what keeps his brush clean. He says ALWAYS put the lid on the jar. Knocking that jar over with thick glue at the bottom is awful.
I can remember him rolling out a giant sheet of leather on the floor of our living room as a child to show my Dad how to cut these. I was probably about 4-5.
I found a sheath design like this in an old Loveless video. I copied it as best I could and came up with an ugly, blemished sheath (made from some belly veg-tan) that works perfectly! This is the way to go! This design instruction is far better than the Loveless. I'm going to do another just like this! Thanks for posting!
I've been making sheaths like this for a few years but I could never find one that illustrates every step so well! Thank you so much for the upload, I have always loved Loveless style sheaths. The only thing I am missing is a leather sewing machine... maybe someday in the future if I ever get around to selling my knives instead of gifting them all out.

This one. It sells out pretty fast every time we get them in though: agrussell.com/knife/Dozier-2020-Classic-Hunter-Hollow-Ground-Drop-Point--DKSP-H20IWIW
Another great Video. I was okay with everything until you did not show the dipping in wax just like his mentor who showed the dipping but never gave up the ratio oil to wax and never said what kind of oil and wax and there's a bunch of both that could be used . I have tried them all and was never happy with any of the combo's to much oil or to waxy never wright . Happy trails
@@AGRussellKnivescompany I thought that would be the case totally understand . I probably spent 300 bucks on oils waxes and sore knees from praying and just gave up that was very hard to do for this 77year old fart . I thank you for asking it was very nice of you .Wishing you all the best in life stay safe and tell every one there at AG Russell the same. Great video series . Happy Trails

Thanks Bob Dozier and AG Russell, for making these videos possible. Rare and valued look over the shoulder of one of the great knifemakers.

@@AGRussellKnivescompany thanks for the reply great advice
Why paraffin wax? Why not beeswax? Is it preference or something else?
At the end he mentioned dipping it, what’s he dip it in? Thanks
I believe he does a hot dip in paraffin wax. I'm not sure if its mixed with something else or just by itself. -Jake
Please tell me Bob glues the knife case without drying. Raw?
What knife is bob making a sheath for in the video? Its my kind of style.

Мастер с большой буквы!!!
Isnt bob the guy that pioneered using D2 for blades?
Yup. He wasn't the first, but he mastered the heat treat of it and is the man who made it popular.

He didn't show me. I'll ask him next time I see him. -Jake
@@AGRussellKnivescompany Jake if it's a trade secret not a problem totally understandable . Happy trails
@@mikeboone4425 We have asked Bob, he says he's worked too hard to perfect that mix, he's going to keep it a trade secret. Sorry, best of luck!
