Thanks Giaco!

[@DIYTyler]

Always exciting to see a new video pop up.....beautiful work as usual.

[@craftedworkshop]

Outstanding work, as usual.

[@rickgreen9936]

Absolutely unbelievably cool. Simo is one lucky scout to have you as a friend. That is knife for a life time. Happy Birthday Simo.

[@MauriceBlok]

:-) Thanks Rick

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Woah man it looks fantastic!! beautiful! I appreciate the fact that you show some set up time while fixing the drill to the bench and stuff like that. That is usually very time consuming and most people don't get an idea about it! great video :)

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Lucky Simo! That knife and sheath are beautiful, Maurice! Great job!

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks!

[@houtjeboom]

[@jackalope30]

Maurice....you are the man! I love when I see that you have posted new videos...my favorites are when you overlay them to music like this one. Nice work, as usual! Keep going!

[@MauriceBlok]

:-)

[@sravanmade5915]

Your works are one of a kind. You gave the best, as always.

[@samaker4]

Very cool. I have never thought to use chisels with leather. It makes so much sense. I'll definitely do that.

[@MauriceBlok]

Chisels on leather is a joy

[@RenatoPerelopes]

You are a artist man. congratulations

[@peter_kelly]

Woodworking with leather! Love it.

[@trickyname]

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

[@mcremona]

So awesome!

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Matt!

[@RRED2]

Thanks for sharing your work with this video,' great job' :)

[@MauriceBlok]

Thank you for watching Steve!

[@p3t3rjhackett]

I really like your style man.

[@JMTosses]

Maurice - I love your stuff. You are one of the few makers on KZbin who make me want to make beautiful things - not just practical or useful things but objects of art. Sadly that's not going to happen any time soon but just watching you do it gives me such a satisfaction ... keep on doing that - thank you for sharing!

[@MauriceBlok]

You can do it! Before having a shop I have made quite a few of these at my kitchen table with just a vice, rasps, files, sandpaper and a hand drill at my kitchen table. Don't need anything fancy.

[@JMTosses]

+Maurice Blok I actually do own a lot f fancy tools. That's not what's keeping me from what you display in your videos. I simply lack time, patience and the vision to line up my sense for aesthetics with my skills and patience as a maker. Knowing you did this with limited tools in your kitchen is impressive. My utmost respect!

[@WoodworkingBarcelona]

Absolutely piece of art. I enjoyed the most the handtool work. Regards!

[@MauriceBlok]

;-)

[@mikewiebe4598]

Love your videos!

[@mikemcorky5418]

Awesome videos, great music.

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Mike, nice positive feedback appreciated. (not ruling out critical feedback also though :-)

[@mtrhodesy]

Great video Maurice, and a lovely knife.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

So rad

[@DOCDARKNESSREAL]

A fitting gift for a champion. Love the hi-tech fork action ;)

[@MauriceBlok]

Haha, the fork is a big help

[@TheRealElDiablo]

Maurice that handle turned out amazing I love how ya cut it on the angle n added the brass n veneer. The sheath turned out nice as well. it seemed like this was a 3 day build for you to. Great as always sir

[@MauriceBlok]

Hi Joe, I two or three days it was. Got to let the epoxy cure and later the sheath soaking takes at least overnight drying time. Thanks for stopping by Joe :-)

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really nice video and knife/sheath!

[@MauriceBlok]

Hi Bruce, thanks so much for watching!

[@claterpult]

Cool video and beautiful work. Thanks.

[@1111jessyjames]

Great job once again Maurice! Great video, exercise of patience, and ingenuity. One of my favorite KZbinrs here guys. Keep up the great work. I need to get myself back in the shop too.

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks!

[@sumandl]

Oh boy i love the layout of yor shop!

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks, I like it too :-)

[@cablecallen]

Just awesome! I too have used a superdupper fork for marking stitches in leather! 😀

[@MauriceBlok]

Haha! Thats the way to go

[@henrysworkshop7477]

Great work Maurice, loved the use of the fork!

[@MauriceBlok]

Hi Henry! what do I have on hand that is ridged, has even spacing and'll punch... A fork! :-)

[@bojanavgustin7607]

briliant work and briliant piece of music. I enjoy every moment with your work. brawo

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks for your kind words Bojan! :-)

[@forestlampcraft472]

cool

[@JogLab]

Amazing!

[@NornerNlhoutbewerking]

Beautiful knife and sheath! Nice work as always Maurice... Maybe one tip before you get into another argument with your wife about stealing all the cutlery from the kitchen ;) On Aliexpress they have excellent quality leather prongs for E15,- shipped for free. You get the 1 prong, 2, 4 and 6 in a set. Then you don't have to first use the fork and then the pick. If you are interested I can send you the link. I bet Simo was really happy with this knife!

[@MartyBacke]

Beautiful!

[@MauriceBlok]

Thank you Marty :-)

[@marcoguarato1579]

immense craftmanship , greetings from italy :)

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Marco!

[@KarwanShkur]

[@leehodge7907]

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Lee!

[@chibibobo]

Don't remember subscribing, sure glad I did though! Really beautiful knife

[@timberdish]

That was a stunning build Maurice, really enjoyed that one! I don't mean to cause alarm however, but at 2:27 it seems your workshop is haunted! :-O

[@MauriceBlok]

Yeah, that was a brief visit from my son :-)

[@TheBrradsullivan]

beautiful

[@jusedish]

I had no clue that you live in Finland!

[@MauriceBlok]

Tampere, you?

[@jusedish]

Maurice Blok Espoo

[@AndyLawsonawl]

Too cool!

[@48306jw]

I like the trick with the fork.

[@MauriceBlok]

It's a great help

[@jesscneal]

Nice job Maurice

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Jess!

[@PandaKnivesRo]

Good video, mate! :)

[@annikastonefieldt7941]

2:28 movement detected in the upper right corner of the shot! :O spookey :P :D

[@NikolayZeleniy]

хорошая у вас мастерская

[@awldune]

Great video as always! 6:03 is that regular Titebond wood glue you are using on leather? I didn't know that would work.

[@MauriceBlok]

It happens to be titebond molding & trim wood glue. (isn't prone to running or dripping and has a fast tack for a pva) The glueing before stitching is just a helping hand so to speak. After stitching and soaking in water the glue will let go. You could use a waterproof and it'll stay.

[@katinjegat]

Simo is one lucky boyscout

[@doubledarefan]

2:28 Magic from Frank Howarth's shop?

[@MauriceBlok]

Haha, nope, happens to be my son

[@doubledarefan]

Do a Father-And-Son project together.

[@megdoyle47]

The editing has gotten so much better since the first video! It was never bad, but now it is fantastic. Do you edit all your own videos yourself?

[@MauriceBlok]

Yes I do. It's time-consuming (way more so than completing and shooting a project) I think its great fun though, keeps me going

[@TheRealElDiablo]

Haven't seen a video from you in a while?

[@MauriceBlok]

Happy to announce that a video will be up today. Always nice having you around Joe! Kind regards

[@LReBe7]

Wonderful! Where did you get the knife blade?

[@MauriceBlok]

Brisa Finland

[@hugo.teixeira]

That music :)

[@MauriceBlok]

Yeah, that music :-)

[@oosama735]

lucky simo

[@ivwoodworking1034]

I don't want to unnecessarily alarm you, but there's someone else in your workshop!! Or a ghost! Or a crafty house pet! (See approx 2:26)

[@MauriceBlok]

That's my son :-)

[@ginoasci]

Nice knife, but you should let a professional leather worker make the sheath. Turn on the huge belt sander, and take an old wire brush to it and clean off all that tuck. Great job on the knife. Ciao

[@CrashedDreams534]

i also shaved lately

[@admonishshop8163]

+mauriceblok beautiful work!!

[@vianneybouard1396]

first!!!!

[@trickyname]

You're my hero

[@MauriceBlok]
