Don't really like the transition for the cut scene and it could be shorter video. other than that I loved it. (popped on to my suggestions for some reason)

It is a lot of fun to watch you work. I love the part where the Damascus goes “ding”! Is that part of the heat treat? I suppose it would be a little hot for making toast.

It is indeed. I put them in the oven after the quench to temper the blade.

Thanks for watching it 👍 The guy in the photo is Trevor Ablett. He was a pocket knife maker in Sheffield. I bought some equipment from him when he retired which enabled me to set up on my own.

Brilliant Michael! I have one of these in Walnut that you made for me last summer. It’s an odd looking , slightly quirky knife, but it just feels so good in hand. Not sure I’ve done a video on it, but here’s the Barlow you made me kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbFnqJnq9B-ibs

More of this please! Can you explain the purpose of dishing please? It always looks to me as though your making it harder to avoid gapping by not keeping the liners flat. I’m sure there’s method in the ‘madness’, so please can you explain it? I should say I have 2 of yours and 8 TEW by your successor there, Lee.

It helps stop any gaps between the liner and the handle material. It also helps give the liner a bit more rigidity when the liners are quite thin. At least that was what I was taught.

Michael May Knives as I’ve two great examples of your work to go by, I’ve no doubt you’re right, but it feels like it’s adding an extra dimension of impression where a precise fit is the aim. Contrast with the efforts Sandy Jack goes to in ensuring his scales and tangs on his fixed blades are perfectly flat, sending them on a sheet of glass before they’re joined. I presume the concave face of the liner is towards the scale material and the convex to the blade, in order that the edges of the liner and scale are a tight fit. Am I right? Sorry, I’m asking to many questions, but I’m really interested in what you do. I’ll hopefully be buying from you again shortly. How’s your lead time with the pandemic? If it’s made orders reduce, I’ll order now, if you’re rushed off your feet I can hang back. Incidentally this might interest you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbFnqJnq9B-ibs

@@slick_slicers because of the tension caused by the spring mechanism the extra rigidity and the dish should stop any gaps appearing between the liner and handle material. That's the theory anyway. A thicker liner wouldn't need any dishing as it would be strong enough to deal with the tension. With fixed blade knives there's no tension so there is no need to dish, so a perfectly flat liner is what you need then. Hope that makes sense. I've been working reduced hours due to childcare so I've got a bit of a backlog to get through.. getting there slowly though.
