Restoring a Vintage Boy Scout Knife and Making a Leather Sheath

[@RoadAgentLeather]

My Amazon store is up! I get a lot of specific questions about the tools and materials I use in my videos. So I've opened an Amazon store! It's a curated list of the stuff I use in my videos that are available for purchase on Amazon. The vast majority are items that I personally use and are sitting in my shop right now. If I couldn't find the exact same thing currently available on Amazon (a lot of things I purchased locally or elsewhere), I researched and found an equivalent. Please note that as an Amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases ... in other words, I get a (VERY) small commission on these. It's a cool way to support me and my channel! The link is in the video description.

[@VEGITAS4]

How about commission work. Do you do requests for people?

[@jackblackpowderprepper4940]

My Grandfather had one of these when I was a kid. One of my wifes caretaker clients had one of these and was going to give it to Goodwill. I recognized it right away and offered to trade a folding knife for it that she loves. Now I have one but it did not have the original sheath. I looked and did find one that was close with checkering and fits perfect. I did get the old coleman one burner stove he use to pack. I have spent the last 25 years trying to duplicate all the things he use to carry. The memories of one of the greatest Men I ever knew and taught me how to survive at any cost are like it was yesterday. God bless America. 🇺🇸

@@ventureplusconsulting6116 My Grandfather lived through the Great Depression in Oklahoma. They lived off the land using trout lines, snares, dead fall traps and other means to harvest meat. He showed me how you can eat all parts of the animal and use it's own brains to tan it's hide. He showed me how to track animals and read their signs. How to smoke, cure and preserve meat, vegetables and berries. He showed how to use the wind and terrain to move through the forest. All these things you cannot learn in the public school system.

As an old Scouter it really warmed my heart to see you save this beautiful Western Scout blade. This was always one that I wanted when I was still a Cub, but was no longer in use by the time that I aged into Boy Scouts, due to new Scout safety regulations. Thank you for saving this beautiful piece of Scouting history! You do beautiful work.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Yeah. I didn't get anything when I was in Cub Scouts. Just some badges for crafting stuff! :)

I lost one back in 68 or 69 in the Mountains of Utah, running thru an Lz on S.F. Training. I had it stuck in the top of my Jungle Boot and I should of listened to an old senior Sarge who told me I would lose it that way unless I put on my harness! Thanks fer the memories!

[@ron.v]

I remember these treasures from when I was a kid in the 1950s. Nobody I knew could afford this type Scout knife but every kid wanted one. My brother finally acquired one that was old and warn out by the time he graduated high school. It led him on a lifelong quest of collecting knives. Case, I think, still sells one similar to this but of course without the beautiful sheath. Thanks for the fascinating video.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

So they weren't awarded or issued? I remember being given a cheap folder when I was in Cub Scouts. Curious how much these sold for back then?

[@СергейВоронов-э8б]

[@johnevans5782]

@@RoadAgentLeather Scouts weren't ever 'issued' knives. They bought their own. Scouts would have the option of going to the Scout store, to the retailer that had a license to sell scout uniforms and equipment, or by direct mail from Western from an ad, likely in Boy's Life magazine. Prices I have seen for a similar knife by Western in 1948 was between $2-$3.50. Today that would have been around $40 US. That would have been pretty steep for a Scout in the late 1940s-50s.

I have two old Westerns. One skinner from the 50’s and one camp knife from the 60’s. Both came with original sheaths in reasonably good shape. I had to re-sew the skinner’s sheath, but I wanted to retain the original look and the sheath was beautifully decorated. The camp knife’s sheath was in amazing shape. It just took some cleaning and Neatsfoot oil. 🎸🔪

i watch loads of these types of restoration and the ammount of people that get the old angle grinder out is anoyying, so it was a pleasure to c someone do it right for a change

@@thediscoman2001 What? The angle grinder is for cutting and grinding flat steel or forged steel. This knife just needed restoration, grinding not needed, just sanding and polishing. He does excellent work, especially his leather craftsmanship.

[@scotthaddad563]

Great job restoring the scout knife!!!! You sure went over the top on the scabbard though. That setup is now a museum piece. Those magnesium fire starters are really handy. I bought one back in the eighties from a local Military surplus store back in the eighties and it had the mil spec numbers on the side so I figured it was part of their load out kit. I’ve had that thing for so many years now and it has developed a small problem. The flint side has began to turn. Into s grayish powder as it has slowly oxidized. I heard that they come from the factory with a paint like coating to prevent corrosion. I have moved on to the 3/8ths inch diameter flint rod that you can get online in bulk and I make wooden handles then give most of them away. I keep some clear nail polish that I “borrowed from my wife in order to re-cot the rod after use. Some of the polishes are highly flammable and make decent fire starter too. So keeping a bottle of that stuff in my kit is a win-win.

There is a ton of information and skill to be learned from this. I have a very similar looking Western knife that my mom bought for me at a hardware store when I was about 10 (1968). Still have it and have repaired the sheath a few times.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

[@johncarlson7955]

I worked at a saddle shop for 12 years. To keep your punches and edger from sticking in the leather you can buff them with a cotton wheel with jewelers rouge on a bench grinder. You’ll be amazed the difference.

Good tip! I'll try it next time.

I remember having to undergo knife and axe test in the BSA before the troop leaders would let me carry and use them around camp. Our troop did an annual two week camping trip to Ontario, Canada. While there worked on camping, swimming, cannoeing and survival badges/skill awards. Was a great time back then, almost 55 years ago.

That sounds great! I was only in Cub Scouts. ... never made full rank of Boy Scout.

[@brightargyle8950]

I had a very similar Western sheath knife. I picked it up in the late 80's and used it in the woods until I threw it into an old log and the tang snapped. It was one of the single tang versions rather than this style of double tang. Wish I had kept it as I now make knives and learned that I could easily have salvaged the blade. I loved that silly old knife. Beautiful restoration!

Geeze. I have one of these. It had sat in my barn for 30+ years until I had work done on the barn, and replaced part of the roof.

Needs some real TLC, but this has suggested some things that can be done right away. Thanks.

I have never heard of a Tuning Fork tang before and it has me legitimately fascinated. I have heard that the biggest weakpoint in a knife or other (longer) blade's construction was the shoulder where the blade becomes the tang, and this seems to sidestep that somewhat, interestingly. the craftsmanship is also superb, though I cannot comment on that personally to t he same degree, but it is a beautiful knife and I'd love to be able to carry something like that with me all the time.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Yeah, not for sure what the purpose of this stye tang is. Thanks for subscribing!

I bought this same knife in an army surplus store when I was a teenager. And that’s exactly how it looks in one of my tool boxes.

Lol, someone else mentioned it looked like it had spent years in the bottom of a tackle box. I can believe that.

[@magilla9792]

As a scout in the 70's, I had one of these knives. But that sheath is a work of art. My sheath looked nothing like that, it was cheap. The fire starter was a brilliant addition. Love your talent and creativity.

[@ChiefScout_Outdoors]

My uncle Bob got me this knife when I was a Boy Scout and it was my favourite knife ever. Unfortunately it was in my van and when the van went into the workshop for a few weeks, the knife wasn’t there on return. To say I was gutted is an understatement. Life’s changed for me now, I’ll probably never be able to get another. I do scan the boot sales, in the hope it resurfaces. Beautiful restoration 🫡 🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆🏆

[@mrkoren]

A tip on the firestarter - hold your striker stationary and pull the ferro rod/magnesium block away from the pile. This reduces the chance of disrupting your pile of magnesium shavings when you inevitably push the striker into the pile. It also helps direct more of the sparks directly into the bundle as opposed to spraying them around.

[@minerblue9641]

Pretty good video, as usual. I liked it quite alot. Pretty good lacing on the knife. I had never seen anyone use thread to strengthen and hold the leather together like that. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

[@IIMRCLEANIII]

If you soak your leather in water (case it) before you laser cut/engrave it will work a lot better and wont have all the smoke and black. After you are done to remove some of the black you can use a bit of dish soap and a sponge and rinse well. Just a tip I learned cutting leather with a laser. Love your work. Well done.

Great leather work. One note on the magnesium/ferro rod block--these cheap ones from overseas do not work nearly as well as the larger ferro rods that can be found on Ebay and other places. Thick, high quality rods will often not even require the magnesium, which really is for use only in wet weather. I tossed all of the cheap ones I had, and purchased better ones, which will cost more, but be worth it. BTW, I was born in Boulder, CO where those knives were made for years.
