🚨The best key takeaway for me was using slitting the sandpaper into strips! What’s your favourite tip from this series? 🤨❓

[@RobanyBigjobz]

Good looking knife and a nice wrap-up to the series :)

[@UKBladeshow]

Cheers Rob! I really enjoyed the whole process! We didn’t get to do the sheath but that’s actually part of the 2-day course! Happy to hear you liked it too mate!

[@DTKcustomknives]

Cool Video Vince! That ballhead vice tho, quite a smart tool! 😲

[@UKBladeshow]

Cheers Alessandro. Believe it or not, I bought one from Amazon the day after we filmed this (we filmed this back in November)! It’s great for hand sanding & many other purposes!

[@aeiouy80]

@@UKBladeshow I’m definitely going to do the same. 😁

[@UKBladeshow]

I think the best learning takeaway from me is using the sandpaper in strip form was a great tip from Graham!

[@redfiveforge3985]

Great job Vince, that is a beautiful knife!👌

[@UKBladeshow]
