Hello Buck knife community.

I am new to this forum and I am certainly glad to have found it.

Do any of you experts have a good method for touching up scuffs on the Buck black leather sheaths? They don't have big cuts or gouges, just normal wear and tear. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
but after you use the leather dye or the sharpie, you still need to polish it to make it blend in with the gloss on the rest of the sheath. Otherwise, a dull black mark will still be evident.
 
Just a hint, Some sharpie ink is blue or purple based and may not blend in all that well. Just like black ball point pen ink may be blue based.

How do you tell.... make a mark on a paper towel and then spray it with spray lysol air smellum stuf. You should be able to tell the base color.

Another tidbit... spray lysol will remove a lot of ink marks, like on counter tops. As well as some food coloring that nothing else will get off, black skuff marks on the floor.... If you have a shirt that has been inked and is basically ruined...give it a try.

I always have a can of it sitting here for various uses. Cleaning up a gun or knife that I have over oiled, q-tips to dig out the gunk in the p3at or a 110.

Monetary renumeration of any portion of saved value due to these tips is appreciated :rolleyes::rolleyes::D


Oh yeah,,,I just use black shoe polish and brush it. If it is a user sheath, it will just get skuffed up again. If it is a shelf sitter, shoe polish will last a long time till the dust bunnies congregate.

Tell us your story :D

I been wondering how many cans of lysol have been hijacked off the back of the commode. :rolleyes::D

Oh yeah,,, the flavor doesn't seem to matter any. This can is crisp linen. Reminds me of this gal I knew when I was stationed in ...uh,,never mind :cool:
 
Another Lysol/sheath story.

I posted this a couple years or so ago, but many of you are new.

I bought a 110 off of ebay that was still in the clampack. The ad clearly said it had been under water in some flood scenario.

And yes, when I opened it up it reeked of mildew. Of course with my affinity for lysol I saturated the sheath and laid it aside, paying more attention to the 110, which cleaned up with absolutely no problem.

So then,,, I took the paper towels and lysol to the sheath. The mildew came right off, BUT, so did the black on the pouch. None of the rest of the black came off, just from the pouch.

It's still laying around here some place.
