Restoration & Knife Sheath: Vintage Puma White Hunter Leather Work ASMR

[@Wardog-rf1tx]

This was the first sheath knife I bought when I joined the British Army in 1974, I still own it to this day. .nothing special about the sheath it 😂was all about the knife when I saw it in the store in Scotland. Bought many others over the decades but this one was special to me.💂‍♂️🪖⛑️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

How? When it’s literally a custom sheath he designed…

[@franktechmaniac7488]

With all the fancy equipment I would also manufacture a sheath like the one the knife came with from the factory. 10623a0941.clvaw-cdnwnd.com/2622cbc427eb9eba0cb238c3b362f64b/200389289-5748457486/whfirst_02.jpg

Wow! I've had a Puma White Hunter since I was a kid, some 55 years ago! Your video has given me some good ideas on how to upgrade the sheath. The sheath is the original and is getting very brittle and quite dirty. I have used the knife in the field for a long time and the bone handle has a few chunks out of it. Thanks for the video!

[@RoadAgentLeather]

No problem! Thanks for watching.

[@ceciljohnson5997]

I bought a white hunter when I was about 13. I am 69 now. It has the walnut handle. It had a chip in the handle so the store manager gave me a 30% discount. I couldn't afford the original price of $50. But I saved up to get it for $35. It didn't have a sheath. I made a very basic one out of some cheap leather. Just a few years ago, I had a friend make me a better one. Coolest knife ever. I do wish mine had the antler handle.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Very cool! Man, they're a lot more expensive nowadays!

[@larrycumba2741]

Always a pleasure. Do you think the Resolene when airbrushing? What do you use to clean the airbrush after use? I only use mine for dye work and clean with alcohol. Would like to try some of the top coats with it. Why did you use it this time instead of a wipe on method?

[@edgell3]

I also use Resolene through an airbrush. In fact I have a dedicated airbrush and bottle for the process. Resolene is a water based product. Dilute the Resolene 50/50 with water and adjust the airbrush pressure to produce a fine even mist. Apply two or more coats as desired, allow to dry between coats. Five to ten minutes should do. Clean with an 80/20 ratio of denatured alcohol with water. You may want to breakdown the airbrush and give it through cleaning as you feel necessary. Hope this helps.😎

What he said. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@maddawgnoll]

Does using the laser cutter cause the edges to be a bit crispy?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Like on the very edge where it's charred? Perhaps. But that black soot typically gets sanded off.

[@maddawgnoll]

@@RoadAgentLeather I figured it did a bit, but didn't know how deep it goes. I've done some experimenting with a torch and seeing if I could get an edge to slick better, and it's a very fine line. But I also have used the same technique to create a harder surface on the edge of an axe pouch (logging style). I don't think it really made a better product, but it's still holding up.

[@dokpaint1]

Can you find out what kind of foam is applied with a brush and why put the workpiece in a plastic bag?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

It's glycerin saddle soap. I use it for casing the leather. This preps it for tooling.

[@davidparker3346]

I think those markings on the blade were done with a Laser originally. Since you have a Laser you might want to look into how to do them for future projects. I've seen some of the knife sharpening / restoration channels on KZbin doing it.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

It'd be scary to do though . . . only ONE chance to make sure it was all aligned properly.

[@bigkrumins1315]

I don't know if you do this for a job or hobby. But looks amazing. I was thinking of making a sheath for mine but looks like ill need about 20 years of experience and quite a few tools.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks, I've been doing this for a while! But definitely not a quick project.

[@seacitadel]

Do you dilute the dye that you have in that big jug, or is it pure? I have tried diluting mine (fiebings pro) with alcohol but i find it soaks into the leather too easily and is harder to control.

[@BigDawgCustom]

Excellent video and leatherwork as usual. Those pin/holders that you used in the stitch holes to keep the work aligned seemed very helpful. Do you have a link to them or mind sharing where you got them?.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Those are WUTA's positioning needles. You can buy them direct from their website or from Amazon. wutaleather.com/products/leather-suture-positioning-needle?_pos=1&_sid=0403c4af1&_ss=r&variant=40211687637125

[@efrain0509]

Beautiful…. How much to own a knife and sheath like this?

[@flymanhorse]

Awesome job! But why did make the beltloop so long? Won't it dangle too low?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

thanks! If you look carefully, there's a rivet dividing the belt loop into two parts. You can wear it low-slung, or move it up to ride higher.

[@Chakar-new]

Отлично!! Просто супер. Вторая жизнь!!!

[@tfildaed]

Another great design. Nice to get a peek at your pencil design process. What is the tool you're using to grab the saddle stitch needle? It looks like the jaws are smooth. Thank you.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks! Those are brass-lined parallel pliers. I bought them from Micro-Mark. But you can find them on Amazon too.

[@Capt.Easy1969]

Just wondering, how long you usually case after putting the piece in the bag?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Hey! A few hours seems to work on a piece this size.

[@jenkins1979]

where can i find a polishing bow like the small one you used on knife? thank you

[@RoadAgentLeather]

That is the "Flex-i-File". You can purchase it from lots of places. I bought mine from Hobbytown years ago. but you can find it on Amazon too.

[@jamesparker6383]

I have a Puma White Hunter and was wondering what a sheath like that would cost me?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I'm not able to take custom orders at this time.

[@JürgenNüsseler]

Isn't the blade hard chrome plated?Did you remove the plating by polishing?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

I read that. I'm not sure on this particular model. However, the alternative is to leave the blade horribly scratched up.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

To my knowledge puma blades were not plated, just highly polished, or at least the two I once owned were not plated. Hope this helps. Atb.

[@littlef9304]

Question: at the 2:09 mark, you are using a u-shaped frame to hold Emory cloth, and shoe-shine style polish out the bolster. Do you know what the tool is called, or possible where to get one? That looks like a handy little tool for maneuvering around small oddly shaped parts. Beautiful work, as always.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

That's the "Flex-I-File" tool. I've had that for years, but I believe they still sell it.

[@littlef9304]

@@RoadAgentLeather Excellent, thank you sir. I'm on their website right now.

[@jacks.7373]

Sick project. I've got a few questions: - In some of your other projects, you use an aussie conditioner while here you use resolene. What determines when you seal it and when you only condition it? - How is your experience with the wuta tools? they are pretty cheap on the website, but I'm a little skeptical about the quality - what are the pads you use for dying? Thanks
