    Awesome knife, amazing sheath. As for the marks your clamps left on the leather. I recommend making some soft jaws for your clamps. Leather pads you can glue on the inside and fold over the front of the jaws of all your clamps.

    Excellent job, George! You've really got a nice knife and sheath set there.That Buffalo nickle snap was a perfect choice! You can call it the Buffalo Skinner 😁 You've really improved your skills at both cleaning and reburbishing old knives, and leather work. You keep this up and before you know it, you'll have a business you can't keep up with! Congrats on a job well done!

    Wow, Man very impressive. You are very good at using what is on hand. A true true environmentalist. That sheath...bloody awesome...you know the saying, You don't really own your blades till you spill your blood on em. That's me, You too,that's cool. I have been searching the World Wide Web for that Fieberg's dye & that Glitz polish you speak of, maybe not sold in the deep south you'all. I use a metal polish, a little pea sized dab & I lean on it real heavy 1/2 inch area at a time & it will make any metal shine like a mirror, called Flitz...Ha Ha Ha, Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle "sorry man just screwing with ya" You the best George Thanks for everything, Rogue...

    If you give your new sheath a good rub with some Neatsfoot oil it will take out the squeaky sound and make the knife easier to remove from the sheath.👍

      Lol. It was rustolium rust desolver.Not my first choice as it was pretty strong and was nervous using it.. . I normally use a natural product called evaporated rust which is not as toxic and reusable.

    Your Dremal with a cloth type wheel and some jewelers compound should polish the Buck handle right up we used that in our workshop in school to make things out of plastic and then polished the plastic with that product and clear plastic polished up like glass, that is what jewelers use to polish gold and silver jewelry I seem to remember it was the red version of jewelers rouge or polishing compound, it was like a stick we placed against the spinning cloth cotton wheel of a polishing machine it had like a 6' cotton wheel, but your Dremal should work with its small wheel, that Pommel on the handle is aluminum so is kind of soft and probably will not get chrome shiny, wheel polish from Walmart automotive department like Mother's wheel polish is designed for aluminum wheels should work good, the thick leather can be made to fold easier by thinning out the area where you bend it they make a leather knife for shaving that area to thin the thickness down so it bends easier, the same for the edge where you will be stitching it, that leather is designed more for being flat like on a saddle and is to heavy for what you are doing

    Would you be interested in sharing what is the product you prefer and which one you don’t prefer? I have several knives I inherited from my Dad that are NOS knives but they have some rust on the very edges. I am trying to figure out what is the best was to get rid of the rust without damaging the knife more! Thanks!
