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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?
