- 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 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 .
I forgot just how much I love the Buck style sheaths. That blade strap design is genius and I love it
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.
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👍👍👍
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!
You have presented so many useful "tips". Thank you for showing your lovely work!
Absolutely great leatherwork. The background flute music, though, is the stuff of nightmares.
You do great work, such a beautiful piece of art...
Amigo, su arte no debe terminar, espero que usted lo transmita a nuevas generaciones. Es usted un genio trabajando el cuero.
Absolutely beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.
Great tip about using denim instead of a slicker. It's clear that you put a lot of care into your work. Beautiful sheath.
Amazing skill with lestherwork. Beautiful sheath....perfection !
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 work mate! Most enjoyable to see!
Beautiful attention to detail.
tremendous video as usual. i appreciate your thoroughness.
WOW… really beautiful work 😁👍
Beautiful!
You are a biggest master! 👏😊
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
Excellent stuff, brother!!!
Very nice high quality work but an artist as well
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 🤠
amazing video, ive never thought of using a needle on a drill press
Simply amazing. Poetry.
Wow👍 Speechless! I want something like that for my 119 special pro.
Wow came out so beautiful
Thank you!
You make bad ass works of art.
The 119 is my edc, I wish the belt loop pivoted like on the 120 sheath I've had since the early 70's.
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!
Beautiful Work!
Beautiful! Very well done! Greetings from Austria!
Excellent Craftsmanship! Outstanding!
Christ Bless You for your abilities!
Looks amazing..
Hermosa funda, una obra de arte, excelente acabado, es una chulada, lo felicito usted tiene un gran talento extraordinario 👍🏻
Great job!!
thats really good 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
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.
Looks awesome.
Ohhh que cosa más linda!! Felicitaciones al artesano. Saludos desde Chile.
Beautiful, Bravo.
wow amazing. thanks for share !
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
Thank you for the inspiration!
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.
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏
Uma obra de arte 👏👏👏👏👏👏
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
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
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
Beautiful
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.
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.
Belíssimo trabalho !!
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.
Stupenda custodia 👏👍
Nice Sheath
Very Nice!
Very Nice work. New subscriber.
There's only one word you can say for this b e a utiful!
Awesome
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.
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"
So nice bro
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.
The Best perfection
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?
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.
What is the tool / bit that you're using to punch the stitching holes?
Nice
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.
Beautiful work! Where do you source your snakeskin?
There's a few sellers on eBay who tan their own skins.
Will you be making any more of these for sale? Looking for one that holds 7.5” blade length knife. THANK YOU
Nice built, btw. I like your videos without music better.
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.
Nice work. What would that cost?
Great job I wont this knife
Chingón conpa
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.
is the gap at the end left for ventilation ?
Drain hole.
Pimp 💕✨
Lo bueno

Lo malo
A ratos me daba sueño con la musica

How much to have you make a snakeskin sheathe for my buck 119
Is this pattern for purchase
A quoi sert l'espace qu'il y a au bas du martyr
To beautiful to be a dangler…..
Sweeeet
exotic sheaths are cool, but useing chrometaned leather WILL rust a knife or pisto.
The sheath itself is all veg-tan leather.
Can I buy one?
shoot me an email. It's on my "about" tab on the channel main page.
