Customizing a Stanley No. 199 Utility Knife and Thrifted Sheath - STANLEY 199 Challenge

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding job!!!!! From start to finish a first rate video and customization! Loved it!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks Scoutcrafter! Thanks to you and 357magdad for the challenge it was a fun quick project.

[@larryvansullen3935]

Love old school look, and sheath is out of this world

[@oldshovel]

Thanks I like how the sheath ended up also.

[@davidparker3346]

That knife looks FANTASTIC.

[@13thworker45]

Nice restoration. The leather looks like my mother’s. It was bought at Folsom prison craft shop in the 1950s. Thank You

[@Ricopolico]

I like the look you used, but I gotta say, you're walking on the wild side working on it with the blade mounted. The leatherwork and and the re-purposing are definitely in the spirit of Scoutcrafter.

[@oldshovel]

Lol. Thanks

[@leebrewer1190]

Very nice job - very classy looking now. The sheath really makes a great addition.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@joeheilm]

Very cool! I like the aluma black and then the worn look. Great job. Cheers

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏 my son was just saying, referring to me, “normally you say, ‘don’t forget to give those old things new life,’ but for the Stanley knife you should have said, ‘give new things an old life.” 😁

[@sundstrom193]

Nice, I have an old 199 that I powder coated Stanley yellow, then in the little box where the script is, I painted black and then sanded down the lettering to reveal the yellow powder coat, so I ended up with yellow text and a black background. I've used it a lot since then and the powder coat seems to hold up really well!

[@oldshovel]

They’re awesome knives and fun to customize.

[@harkinspat12]

I have been Watching ScoutCrafter for a long time now,He Rocks! Just kinda stumbled on your hatchet handle video today.Very cool! Looking forward to seeing your past and future videos.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@JAResto]

Great look on that 199. The bluing really set off a good look. Great job.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@000207poosh]

Man you have a serious talent! Well done again.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

so far I like your best on the homemade sheath put over the top

[@oldshovel]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@bradbentley863]

You really did a nice job with this entire project. It should be pointed out the customizing/polishing/buffing these exact knives has been going on literally generations. I have bumbled on many in my time that I swore were chromed. Just giving credit to the old timers where it is due (I’m not one before you ask 😂)

[@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks]

Excellent work my friend.

[@davidcoats1037]

Good idea with the aluma black and that repurposed leather sheath is awesome! 👌

[@oldshovel]

Thanks. The alums black worked really great.

[@4PixelCorner]

love the end result on the knife and the sheath!

[@SkyForgeVideos]

Beautiful useful tool and sheath! Very nice work. I have always meant to try leatherwork. You make it look easy!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks you are kind.

[@2000xlt]

That was really a great video, enjoyed seeing the process.

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks for watching.

[@mantaship]

This is so kooky, it has to be a favorite.

[@oldshovel]

I love how it turned out also, both the knife and the sheath.

[@MrJruta]

Amazing! I wish I had my dads original but now I’m gonna make my own. Beautiful work

[@leestimson12]

Another source of leather is from old furniture. I peeled the leather off an old couch before disposing it. The best part is the back of the couch or chair as it is one big piece, unused and clean.

[@frankg3072]

Very nice job on both the knife and sheath. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to future videos. Thanks

[@oldshovel]

Thanks for the sub!

[@joecerutti465]

Amazing work! I love it.

[@peterohara5580]

Nice looks great. Only thing I’d and is a small lanyard to help pull it from the sheath

[@oldshovel]

That would be a good addition.

[@tfknauss]

Love it,,, I really need to start trying the leather working,, I have a lot of the needed equipment,, just need to do some projects and practice. Great job!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@13thworker45]

I learned about alumna black from your video . I was doing one yesterday. I’m going to strip mine of the paint. Great job and thank you for the info. The only thing I would do different is the case. My taste would be to lace it.

[@ericwooden7304]

Great job with that project.

[@danielgrenier3288]

Awesome! I love the reporposing too!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Great job I'm going to be doing a video similar to yours I bought one of those box cutters at a flea market for a dollar because I like collecting Oddball knives and this one just stood out to me and I'm going to have a buddy of mine make a sheath for it but I'm going to use some of your tips that you use in your video

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice job looking good 👍👍

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@themaninthesuitcase]

I am going to have to do this. I kept my dad’s old 199A and the exposed blade is not ideal. Now to salvage some leather.

[@JoshHuntRocks]

Great video! I just picked up one of these knives from eBay. I went with some different colors on the handle, but you have inspired me to challenge myself to build a leather holster.

[@oldshovel]

Cool. Thanks for watching.

[@christopherharrylang7424]

great job on both the knife and the sheath.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@thymekiller]

i like the black. nice work

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@jerrieyum]

That’s wonderful bro. It would also look great to add a lanyard to the utility knife too. But it’s looks great that was really good project. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

Outstanding work! I especially like the sheath. I just subscribed - looks like I have some videos to watch this weekend!

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks! I’m a sub on your channel also. I really liked your custom 199 with the shell casings, classic with just enough cool factor.

[@Rick_Schott]

Very nice.

[@oldshovel]

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks 🙏

[@davidhelmuth5707]

Looks awesome

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@MrCRMapleFarm]

Very nice. I like the aluminum black. I can see some of that in my future. I always wondered if there was some type of bluing available. This is perfect. Waiting for my half baked videos to load. LOL. Subbed, thanks!

[@oldshovel]

I was happy that the aluminum black worked so well. I’m was not sure what the alloy was for the castings. It really worked great. I almost went all black. I may still on another one.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Nice! 👍

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@AnchorDesigns]

Nice Videos man!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@djjoeykmusic]

Awesome Great video

[@jsangel567]

That turned out fantastic! Great video and clear instructions. Subscribing!

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks 🙏

[@michaelboone5398]

Another great project, I'm stealing that idea. kek

[@oldshovel]

Do it! It worked great.

[@Dardrum]

very nice

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@uktony1525]

A very nice restoration, from your newest subscriber.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks Tony!

[@ianwilliams487]

Nice,,Very Nice,,

[@greywindLOSP]

Sir that is Kick Ass! ......ATB!

[@eqlzr2]

That was really nice work, but you know what? I wouldn't spend time on that in a million years. ;-)

[@noahwalker4659]

That is awesome! Can I purchase that piece?

[@MrDoeboy356]

You should check out my coin buckle in miniature tool belt.

[@oldshovel]

I should. Lol. I loved the 199 you made!

[@mikehamilton5927]

Nice.

[@pineapplej7310]

Good job, I think you should have just buffed it up after going up to 2000 grit tho

[@stime6472]

NICE!!!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@joenadeau4419]

You have a great eye for these projects, where do you get the gunsmith stains and dyes? Nice job on this.

[@oldshovel]

I picked up the Aluminum Black at the local Cabelas.

[@elizabethbales-cm5xg]

Are they taking late entries? I just finished mine.

[@coolflicksbro]

Wow!! Do you sell them?! I’d definitely buy that! I would like the handle a bit more exposed to grab easier. The whole set is awesome

[@jastimbal60]

👍👍

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@CandidZulu]

Looks nice, but needs a new screw.

[@br00klyngreek13]

f*cking awesssommmeeee mann!!!!....i'm a gunsmith and i love aluminum black and gun wax....it makes screw ups in AR upper and lower receivers DISAPPEAR!

[@TheSuperwrenchGarage]

I am going to have to look into making a sheath for mine!

[@oldshovel]

Without the sheath I kept worrying I’d cut myself 😃

[@blasko6075]

Can I buy it?

[@MeanJohnDean]

Being a carpet installer for many years I think I should say that the sheath appears to be too tight around the knife for easy use.

[@deltafour1212]

Just letting you know, I am "stealing" your idea.

[@Sauce1977]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FynbosGarden]

Nice. Not get a girlfriend
