A day at work with Wiltshire Man aka Jacklore

[@thetopicala]

When I got involved with knife making and my own youtube channel I found Sandy’s site very soon. Very soon I also bumbed into this other site Wiltshire Man …and wait a minute…! The same guy !!! making other kind of videos, camping etc. Since then Sandy has filled up my youtube world very well! Thank you Sandy for all these years 💙👍🏻👋🏻🇫🇮 Osmo

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Osmo. Happy new year

[@leecolclough2492]

Hap-E 2022 Sandy & Family, Love This Knife Build ! Stay Safe & Healthy, Friend, From Frosty Canada. ATB T God Bless

[@PaulMessner]

Craftsmanship at its finest Sandy. Another beautiful knife. I know at the moment you’re not taking orders but I’d love to buy a matching classic and wasp. I keep checking the website but missed out on a few knives now. Keep up the great work.

[@DDan61]

I did the same thing back in 2016, just remember that it takes 2-3 weeks to make them and when he says "I am gonna start a new batch in a few days" you'll know about when to check the website periodically and you'll get lucky like I did. Good Luck to you Paul!

[@thewiltshirewomble]

I’m doing the same check to the website… got it on a shortcut favourite now… o’ll keep checking 😜

[@dwadventures3531]

That was a fascinating watch. And the knife was a piece of art 👌

[@bobherron1082]

Sandy , happy wife happy life as they say. Enjoy your dinners lol epic craftsmanship, keep it up.stay safe and best wishes to your family

[@anthonybrunt181]

Painstaking professional. Excellent product. Congratulations.

[@jasonphan90]

Top notch, great seeing a craftsman sharpen his craft

[@neilwilliams9844]

Skills ,which hopefully will survive ,excellent craftsmanship.

[@miguelpimentel8539]

I’ve always have liked your knives and this one I think is my favorite

[@loki1066]

Wow ! Who knew - I was flicking between bike and knife videos , and Wiltshire Man does both !

[@marksadventures3889]

That was mesmerising Sandy. I will check your other channel for more videos- that wasvery relaxing to watch. Thanks for posting

[@markboyers7177]

Beautiful Sandy all the best for the coming year my friend

[@garymasterson1174]

Lovely. The pleasure of making something so beautiful must be amazing. HNY

[@garrycane1170]

Hi Sandy. Glad I got mine when I did... still has pride of place in my collection..... will be in touch soon for a new commission. Greetings from the frozen Rhein Valley.

[@maskedavenger2578]

The U.K. won’t go far wrong while we have people that possess your skills & fine craftsmanship Sandy .👍

[@nigelflanagan1188]

Truly amazing a craftsman at one with his trade

[@Celtic-Silver-countryman]

A Master Craftsman !

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Enjoyed that and what a beautiful result. Your a man of many talents Sandy 👍

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Ken it took me years to learn the craft

[@nevillejennings7334]

Really top notch knife Gotta cut the chase lol Just out of interest do you know how much these knives cost ???

[@nevillejennings7334]

And thanks truly a remarkable product!!!

[@disco41]

That’s incredible 👏 quality workmanship gonna try and be lucky and purchase one 👍🤞

[@simonbragg5888]

It is so nice to read through all of the comments that are from folk who did not know that that Sandy was such a talented craftsman. Whether you have an interest in Bushcraft and knifemaking or not, as long as you have an interest in hand made things and things "made to last, you will find his Jacklore videos completely fascinating.

[@1kzrider]

That is a work of art great job. And thanks for sharing.

[@martincurtis6445]

I've been subscribed to your channel for months now. I'm a keen cyclist and enjoyed your cycling adventures. I'm also a keen bushcrafter, but had no idea you made knives! I can see why they are in demand, that is a beauty you created :)

[@Skizz_Spivack_Esq.]

Lovely Sandy. You make great knives !

[@FredWilbury]

Great skills Sandy great video! Regards Fred ps loved that soundtrack

[@glennb546]

A true craftsman! Nice job.

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Truly a work of art. 👏

[@bobhabsolute4995]

There’s the coke bottle handle that is good and then there’s the Jacklore handle and you reach an all other level. It’s the first time I see one of these handle close enough to kind of appreciate it without having hold one and I am blown away. Now I understand why all bushcraft knives are compared to it, the refinement is present in every line. Sir, you have set the reference others only dream of.

[@anthonyharman7837]

That's dedication sandy fantastic job

[@christopherellis2663]

I have seen yon horse on hillside, twixt Bristol and Stonehenge. I have learnt something, just by watching. Thank you.

[@danielmattison6057]

Wow such a beautiful knife a true craftsman and a genuine guy thankyou Sandy that was a pleasure to watch 👍

[@wattyler9806]

Outstanding.

[@garphykeks]

Clever man Sandy👌👏 I had no idea of your day job! Heading over to your KZbin channel and website right now👍KTF🙏

[@davidkerrychubb1]

One word masterpiece . Best wishes dave chubb

[@MotorcyclistDiaries]

Beautiful! So much work.

[@rhymneyphysics6445]

I dread to think the cost of these , like a stradivarius violin. Tremendous attention to detail and what a product. Craftsmanship is something society and history used to appreciate. I hope the human aspect of making things which brings a lot of joy to both maker and user is not forgotten in a world of cheap mass produced really average clutter. I know we should all use them but I also hope some will not get battered so we can show that not everything in the uk post millennium was cheap imported junk. Hats offs to a master craftsman.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks, I onlky make a hand ful of knives each month and don't make a great deal of money making them, just enough to get by

[@jimrowland6089]

Having a satisfying task at hand does wonders for the mind.

[@erikjensen6503]

A true artist who has perfected a craft! Amazing!

[@Gregs_World]

Sandy, I'm one of those people who didn't know this about you now, I love you more than ever craftsmanship means more to me than anything this is a wonderful presentation thank you for sharing I'll be on the website as well

[@davidbarnfield9849]

Had no idea this was your day job well done Sandy Dave B. Thailand.

[@sarkybugger5009]

Every one a work of art, Sandy. Beautiful.

[@barryclyde8353]

that was a excellent watch , pure quality, cant help thinking a dremmel might save a bit of wrist ache though

[@victormonster4658]

You should be very proud of the skill you have there Mr W. Beautiful looking knife. Perhaps take on an apprentice to pass on that skill

[@seankearney6915]

I did it the other way round. I knew about the knives before I realised you were on KZbin, then saw the knife making before the rest. I hadn't realised you had started making them again.

[@WiltshireMan]

I've never stopped making them

[@danielcharbonneau222]

I do love watching you build knives. Outstanding craftsmanship, beautiful end results Sandy!

[@craigpalmer347]

Quallity work Sandy 👍👍👍

[@Rocky-lh4od]

Absolutely beautiful 🤩

[@grimlightwildoutdoors]

Superb skill at a craft that is being forgotten 😀👍👍❤️

[@peteblackwell3]

Absolute Perfection !!!

[@INSOLESandLACES]

A beautiful knife, you must be very proud in what you can produce.

[@det1mark777]

Just beautiful ...

[@mijdragonhill9803]

I love my Jacklore Wasp. Sandy delivered it to me in Shrivenham personally on his motorbike. Facinating to see how much skilled work goes into them. I'm hoping to go on a wild camp with Sandy soon .

[@nevillejennings7334]

Be so good to get oot n boot I myself am just getting started n it wood be really great to have a gooood knife to have confidence in. I am or have been involved with knives all my life, this came with my profession of being a fish merchants son thus having handled one or two along the way! #AKnifeForLife !! Wonder what that particular knife went for ?? Greetings from Cumbria

[@davidinghram2494]

Absolutely beautiful! It is always a joy to watch a true craftsman at work, no matter what they are creating. Thank you for sharing.

[@Electronicpoacher1]

I have followed Sandy for years now from when he made his first knife in the garden in a wok,,his expertise has grown to an unbeatable standard and only wish I had the money to get a knife but alas my budget wont allow it,,All the best Sandy and one day when I win the lottery I will get one,

[@oldgittarist]

Work of art Sandy!

[@MsDenver2]

That is amazing , you clearly put a lot of work into making it , when I bought my grizzly what I found hard was trying to understand the different hardness’s of the steel etc ,I read about it but am still none the wiser 🤔👍

[@WiltshireMan]

It's a bit of a science, I have a Rockwell tester here so can test every blade. The Rockwell scale is exponential which means a 59Hrc knife is a lot harder than a 58Hc, in the old days a knife was considered good if it made 55Hrc

[@davecooper9721]

just fantastic work new to this channel and already found some fantastic vids

[@WiltshireMan]

Welcome aboard Dave, thanks, Theres a lot of different videos here mostly about the outdoors

[@robertkirk4387]

another stunner there sandy

[@fraross6212]

That's not "a" shed, that's "THE SHED". Beautiful work thanks for sharing.. Lovely music too.

[@billcotton1551]

That is one beautiful knife!

[@hanksbud2544]

Great video. Your attention to detail and quality are breathtaking

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Beautiful. I want one just to say I own a Jacklore. I'd put it next to my Picasso. 😘🙂👍

[@paulwildcamper]

I'm privileged to own one 🙏🏻And I use it, it's not just for looking at, lovely as it is 👍🏻Cheers, Paul

[@DanOpdal]

A work of art!

[@RetroRatz]

Lovely to see Hand made craft here locally! We as society have lost the ability to make and create so many objects! So it's wonderful to see this! Lovely work!

[@Wessexmud]

A true lesson in skill and application-Thank you Sandy !

[@alexmorgan3435]

I can only echo what others have said, a true craftsman.

[@englishwoodsman]

Craftsmanship at its best ,

[@AussieMark909]

The Wiltshire Man. Working from home long before it became fashionable!

[@vancemarin8022]

Beautiful knives !!! If I needed one I would definitely would be trying to buy one . 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@garyvause2475]

[@johnpawson7400]

Lovely to watch a craft person at work, beautiful knife.

[@King_Bob_The_Third]

Beautiful work there my friend. The only bad thing about that knife is that it will not be posted to me! OH well! :)

[@tonyashton780]

Some of these are my favourite vids Sandy.The craftsmanship and knowledge time and care put into each knife is phenomenal.Anyone who buys one is never going to get a finer blade for their money.Id have loved one 30 years ago lol.I manage quiet well with my Mora now in my twighlight years and trust me mine are well abused and still usable.Take care stay safe hope Mandy is recovering in comfort.Kind Regards Tony

[@pantheman1300]

Great video Sandy, I first watched your camping videos, then I saw you ride bikes and now I find that you are a craftsman. I'd love one of your knives, they look superb.

[@GavTatu]

ohhh i do like that box tube clamp jig !!!

[@WiltshireMan]

The box tube clamp is made by Mike Palmer, its a good piece of kit

[@BorderRambler]

A master craftsman at work , I can see how it is very time consuming . But the quality really stands out in the finished knife 👌

[@daisolorider]

Well the talent never ends, very impressed.

[@georgeargyris7834]

Very good job..!

[@ianafloat9250]

Always nice to see you at work Sandy. So happy with my Scout.

[@kimbullock475]

Very nice Sandy…

[@mickd6942]

Happy new year to you and you Mrs Sandy

[@davebuts1921]

Stunning work mate.

What a beautiful knife. True art👌

Works of art 🤯😍🤯

[@garydumbauld4212]

I think you have to be in the right place in your head to have the patience to do such a fine job. You do some mighty fine work, sir. Thanks for the look into your craft.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Another beautiful specimen of a knife Sandy, everytime I use mine I thank you. Hope Mandy is recovering well after her fall and all the very best to you both in 2022, my kind regards.

[@WiltshireMan]

All the best for 22 Paul

[@jeffpatching4417]

Another brilliant video. Thank you

[@mattyj624]

Beautifully crafted sandy 👌

[@prevcounta4877]

Wonderful craftmanship Sandy - thank you so much for sharing this video. Hope Mandy gets well soon.

[@Bob814u]

I have a friend that engraves firearms. I can watch him work all day and never want to touch the finished product as I would be afraid to drop it. Watching you make a knife and the care you put into the making of it I would say I wouldn't want to take it into the field, BUT. You make a quality product for working in the field. Quality has a price and if you have to look at the price and wonder if it is worth it you should buy one from the grocery store. If you want a quality product you go to a craftsman. Sandy you are a craftsman. And to think I started watching your videos because you are an Amateur Radio operator. Man of many talents.!!!

[@nevillejennings7334]

I hear what U R saying about prices! How ever its part of the deal isn't it ! My wife wanted to get me a Gooood one OK thanks 😊

[@marcuskiritsis2076]

Slow and steady sandy Mandy needs Looking after as well. Hope you will be able to get out soon as we know you don’t like having your wings clipped too much. 😊👍♥️ love to all the family hope Mandy has a speedy recovery 👍👍👍

[@patrickevans8940]

Absolutely top class finish, lovely craftsmanship I’d be to scared to use it Sandy

[@andrewcrofts531]

Perfection..... can't say any more. Happy new year Sandy.

[@frankreid6525]

Love watching a true craftsman

[@Romchav]

fantastic viewing there the effort and time and craft you put in to a knife is unreal .

[@gregknight293]

Beautiful works of art, Sandy. Craftsmanship at its finest. My best regards to you and yours.

[@malcolmcoward7480]

Artisan, what an art form. Happy New Year Sandy
