How would you make these type of Fold Pocket Knifes without a belt sander? What you call these type of folding pocket knifes with the finger flipper stud? Can you make these with a file set, angle grinder, hand tool sand paper and a fire pit with leaf blower to anneal the steel?

super sharp camera focusing mate, and there's some legit rock pattern going on with the walnut. jokes aside great videos buddy, I'm planning to make habaki with G10 for my IPE wakizashi mounting. your content showed some serious durability that will help my build. cheers mate!

Beautiful... without music is better, though.

Hi Dom Just found your videos. Its great to hear what an Auzzie knifemaker has to say. Great info for a noob knifemaker. Thanks. PS Just saw that you have no recent posts. Hope everything is OK.

I’m a little confused, and maybe It’s different for cryo heat treats, but for the heat treat wouldn’t you need to quench the blade while it’s still hot? If the blade was cool enough that you dropped it in with your bare hand, that means the steel didn’t harden on the quench since it air cooled first, right?

If only the music wasn't louder than your voice... I was really interested

How much

Great advice especially on pricing. It's only recently that I've taken it full time, as my ONLY job, and made a realistic assessement of how much my priced are and what my costs are comprised of. I WAS just taking into account steel, handle material, and that was IT......Totally failing to take into account epoxy adhesives, abrasives, propane for heat treatment, drill bits, all sorts of stuff that costs money and needs to be paid for!

What a punk. Don’t copy me 😢😢😢😢 😂 You are a character man. The knife community is all good without you man

Beautifully tough material. Glad my Cold Steel rocks it!

It's a 2x72 for Oompa Loompas! 😂🤣

Whats the name of the knife?

I been using mineral oil, I figured it would be food safe and work well. Anyone else use it?

Dayummm !! Nice. An Art & Master Skills & Talents. I’m drooling.

Also "That aint a knife. THIS is a KNIFE."

Good luck biting this in half Roberta.

Total Boat epoxy is about the best epoxy on the market and has quite a few different formulations to suit any need. Suspend your knife vertically and mix a small batch of epoxy and pour it over the handle startimg from the base of the blade. Let it cure and keep repeating until you have it built up to where you want. Let cure and finnish with sandpaper. OR build a mould that will encase the handle a bit oversized and make your pour. Then use a grinder, sander or dremel to take the handle to where you want it. Sand to 1000 grit, then polish with diamond paste or plastic polishing compound if you want it shiny

Yes indeed that's a real mans job 🙏❤️

Do you still make these? I kinda want one…

any possibility of ordering one of those above? Don't see any at your store.

How many inches wide is the ax blade? How many inches long is the ax handle?

Może parang

Literally people need to grow up and not be scared of knives it’s so stupid and annoying lol people act like it’s a time bomb in California 🙄 California is a joke

Très belle réalisation,en vendez-vous ? amitiés de France

They look brilliant 😊

now the million dollar question - now when CNC makes your knives and not your hands - do you still sell them for the same price or sell cheeper?

Is there any reason you didn't at least grind the main portion of the bevel before heat treat, to keep from having to not only having to grind hardened steel, but also to have less risk in overheating and messing with the heat treat? I don't know much about this particular steel (more of a high carbon guy, personally) not sure if there is some positive trade off or what the reason may be?

Hello, is there a way I can get this knife?

wonderful time capsule

Where did you go my man?

Less or more monotony & routine now as a business with socials etc?!

Good video restoration without shop full of expensive tools. Only additions is to remove rust from deep pits is old Naval Jelly and let rest for a while. The original formula left a rust resistant coating. The darkened patina I prefer over shiny. The dark patina was well earned by the knife. Shiny is merely user vanity. After removing rust jelly residue I wash blade in hot soapy water and super dry with hot hair dryer blower. When cool then sharpen to keen. I then properly measure out a small bit of two part epoxy and apply a thin coating to the now clean and dark blade. I use food measuring spoons for precise measuring of small quantities. The epoxy is a long term protection for the blade on normal use. The protected blade now looks and functions as a sharp old veteran.

Disliked your video because of all the squeaks and crap in it. If you're going to bleep out the curse words, then don't say them in the first place!! Just leave the curse words in, it's not going to hurt anything.

He's a monster! He's a wreckin' machine!

Looks like mine. Colour doesn't seem to stop it working.

I would like to see the test destruction ..very impressive powerful knife congrats

STAY BLACK BRUH

woulda made it through video if it wasnt for the ghetto fabulous garbabge music

My guess is the tool pulled out of the holder, or yanked the knife out of the fixture. Hard to say without seeing it immediately after the incident.

I take my Hat off to you young man!! Keep up the good work..!!

No cnc. Just every other heavy duty tool known to man 😂

It’s my dream to be a knifemaker, but alas I’m a broke college student with no tools. Someday.

Would rifle CLP ( cleaner) work as well?

Thanks for the tips and I think for my purposes your tips will be perfect.

what do you call a short dog with steel balls......sparky

man.... imagine the tennis elbow.

Tungsten carbide is better than carbon?
