It’s YOUR Knife, what you do with it is YOUR Business!!! If they think it should be used they should go out and pay for one themselves! And in the meantime Mind their Own Business!

lovely knives mate quality

does cactus juice remain liquid and can it be reused without turning solid?

I just stropped my Brumby, poured a cup of coffee, and booted up KZbin. And poof...a new video from Alasdair! Good to see you again! Those are some very handsome knives. Keep that overcooked recipe for the Sheoak. It looks fantastic!! So does that burled wood at the end of this video. That last blade is a monster. I'm still carrying my Brumby every day. FOR ME, it is the perfect size for everyday tasks. Small enough to trim melons of the vine without cutting anything else. Large enough to whittle a tent stake out of redwood to hold up a temporary fence to keep my border collies out of the garden when they chase squirrels. And not a mark on the blade or handle yet. I can say that your jymping is very grippy without being a meat grinder on your thumb. Kind of the Goldilocks "it's just right" jymping, IMO. I have a link for solid brass D-rings with a threaded axle that can be added to existing sheaths, if you are interested. Shoot me an email if you want it. Thanks for the shoutout in this video😉. If fixed blades are illegal to carry on a belt, how do you carry your own knives??? Stay safe, Alasdair!

Lovely knives - especially covetous of the bushwood, Daves a lucky man.

You are a VERY Lucky man to have a wife who would buy you a knife like that!!

Looks very much like the BPS bushcraft knife by DBK, except the BPS is 1/10th the price and is just as good, if not better.

Love it❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video Alasdair! Nice looking knives. HOWEVER...the best looking Campania knife is currently hanging on my belt!! That Sheoak is great looking. I've seen it on other knives and it looks fantastic. Strange seeing you in long sleeves. Today, It's predicted to be 105F (40.5C) here with a "feels like" of 112F (44.4C) or above! This internet thing makes a person forget they are viewing half way around the world, and that it's winter in Australia!! You stay warm, and I'll stay cool😄

Belters mate! Nice thinking with the up cycling COVID tests👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

I think Ray Mears should be buying your knives. They are much nicer.

Good idea. All you have to do is think outside the box

Well Done, Alasdair!!

Nice bit of "Heath Robinson" thinking mate! Love it🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Thanks for Sharing

Very interesting Alasdair,love learning new stuff from your videos mate👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎

I had no idea micarta is Bakelite. Live and learn!

Alasdair....you don't need to "make it interesting." The process is already interesting to those of us watching. Either because we are trying to learn how to do it, or because we can't do it. It's like watching the plumber, the electrician, or the appliance repair tech when they are at your home! Seeing the process will make me appreciate my upcoming Brumby even more!! THANKS for this video Alasdair!

Love the wildlife Alasdair Attenborough 😂

ဒါးဒီဇိုင်းလေးတွေကတော့လှန်းတယ်😂😂😂😂😂

Very good explanation, thank you. I've been thinking about why this has been happening to my knives. And I think yesterday. I finally figured it out, but your explanation helps solidify my thought.

I don't know how I missed this video when it was released. Very nice look at the knives in your repertoire! I like that Siamese Rosewood and the new shape to the Brumby handle. THANKS Alasdair!

People are buying your knifes because there very good that tracker I got from you is faultless £200 for a aebl blade custom I'm sure you will do a lot more business in the UK 😊

No need to explain any delays in videos, Alasdair. Life happens. I hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Danny, Ian, and Tony wanted me to let you know that they have all moved to Kansas USA. You can ship their knives to me and I will get their knives to each of them.🤣 All of those knives are beautiful. That tapered tang was a really nice Loveless touch. You have some of the best looking scales of any knife maker I have seen on KZbin. THANKS for this video. Looking forward to part 2 release.

Always good to see a craftsman at work! Glad you recovered so well👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

Yes I’m firing on all cylinders now!!! Feel great!! Yep they are Loveless bolts, they’re a cool touch to a knife. Yes, you have to have standards eh! Golf balls are great for handles, I’ve even got one on my drill press. Hope your project goes well, cheers for watching, Alasdair 🔪

You seem to have recovered nicely from your illness since the last video. The bolts at 17:55.....are those what are sometimes referred to as Loveless bolts? I am a retired dentist. Your philosophy at 25:00 is the same thought I had in my head every time I drilled into a tooth. "No one will see it, but I'll know." That's what makes a professional a professional! Good thing I don't have one of those gymping files. I'd be putting gymping on anything that will hold still. I like the golf ball handle on that file. I never thought of that. New project for the lawnmower blade hand file tomorrow!! Thanks for this video and this coming series!!

Just get yourself a BPS HK5. Made in Ukraine. A really good knife and probably more than half the price.

Good setup bud,always a work in progress (shed)😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

Thanks for the tip mate 👍

Good to hear you're health is improving a bit mate! ATB🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

What a smack in the face for your wife. 'I'm not going to use it...' Bloody 'ell... What did she buy it for? What did Ray Mears MAKE it for?

Done good there. Thanks for the plug. Learning about steel as that’s my short coming

Great work, get well soon pal - love the knives ;)😊

Free advice: stay behind the camera

"Not going to get used"?!? "...stay in the box"?!? A knife like that was designed and made to be used and enjoyed so USE IT and ENJOY IT!

Interesting content. I never knew why wood for knife handles/scales is stabilized, so today I learned something. What model do you call that tip down knife on the wall behind you? It has a Loveless droppoint hunter look to it. I like it! I hope you mend quickly and can get back to doing the things you enjoy!! Happy 2024!

All the best for the New Year,health is paramount!(wifey has same condition in U.K.)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎

Good to see you back, all the best with the healing of your giant wound! Cool content, many thanks! I always wondered how stabilising works in practice.

FINALLY. I KNOW HOW TO GET IT FLAT

I think the steel that is used on this knife is incredibly poor for the price you pay for the knife, steel has came a long way since o1, I’d be much happier with cpm magnacut, cru wear or even cpm 3v

Good to see you back and well

I enjoyed this video. Glad your recovery is moving along. My mother had that surgery 15-20 years ago. She's 95 now! She recovered well and no longer needs to watch what she eats. I like that shorter Bushwood Curveback, and a full flat grind sounds nice! You are the second Australian channel I watch. I also enjoy Pete's videos at Cedric and Ada Gear. You and Pete are the closest I will ever be able to get to Australia (I'm in the USA). Thanks for making these videos and sharing your Australian life!

All the best from Blighty mate🇬🇧👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😎

Good to see you up and about Alasdair.

I stumbled onto your Ray Mears Part 1 by accident. I have no idea who Ray Mears is, but that is a really nice looking knife. Fabulous gift from your wife!! It's great that that is a grail knife for you, but frankly, I think your knives are just as nice. Your designs are quite handsome. I'm glad I found your channel. SUBSCRIBED

If you ever find yourself in the west sussex area give us a call and arrange to come by and see the woodlores being made.

Thanks for the vid... do you think this will translate over to sword or longer blade

Good luck for the surgery fella!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

Very nice work, I enjoy listening to you
