That Fordite material is majestic looking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DBCraftWorld]

I've never seen material like this. Very cool stuff! chosing black pins was a great idea. Knife looks fantastic!

[@Aleeknives]

Thanks man!

[@chuckbowie5833]

Beautiful knife AND sheath. Super classy

[@Aleeknives]

Thank you!

[@Dmowery5036]

Very good looking knife!

[@sudo_nym]

That's a sexy knife! Ii love the forte handle, it's such a novel material, dude. Great job, as always!!

[@Aleeknives]

Thank you Pete!

[@bobgore1962]

I love this one, brother! ... Fordite, with the black sheath, looks amazing! I could definitely feel how solid it was, just by your description! 💯😎👍🏻🔨🔥🗡️

[@Aleeknives]

Thanks man! I had fun building it!

[@jamesgreene5342]

you just won a sub with this

[@Aleeknives]

That's awesome! Glad to have you done the Channel with us

[@stephenkeefer3436]

When I’m using pins, I rough and groove them with a dremel before glue up.

[@Aleeknives]

Great idea!

[@kensutton174]

Love it!!!

[@Pitbull1701]

This knife turned out awesome man, love that fordite. Just watching how easy you did that finger choile makes me realize just how much I need a 2x72. That takes me forever to do.

[@Aleeknives]

It definitely helps! I just unboxed the Revolution grinder kit! Getting ready to start the build

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

I love the fordite! Where are you getting scales that size?

[@Aleeknives]

Bradley at strange material on Instagram

[@vincentcocuzza8679]

Love this handle material I’m gonna make some soon! Also I was curious about something? What do you use to glue the leather together?? What’s best for glueing leather to wood or leather to leather???

[@Aleeknives]

I use barge or even the contact cement from home depot!

[@vincentcocuzza8679]

That’s what I thought you had said in a previous video contact cement or barge! Thank you for such a quick response! Thank you for all the great videos, I’ve learned so much from watching you make knives!

[@krissteel4074]

Its a really beautiful material, carbon is over-used a little bit just in my opinion

[@Aleeknives]

I agree

[@danielc9773]

Would fordite handle be food safe on a kitchen knife? That old paint contains lead right?

[@mrjibrhanjamalkhan2144]

You missed a trick with the handle had an extra choice probably the best choice and you missed it, the inside red ir the outside black

[@Aleeknives]

You bet I did! This was actually pretty difficult to film and keep straight! I bet people find lots of mistakes in the time line but it was fun and I learned a lot for the next one! Thank you for watching

[@mrjibrhanjamalkhan2144]

@@Aleeknives I kinda have to go into t mode to get a bite. Quite easy this time. No hard feelings, keep it up

[@radnazona3979]

All the same, nothing new. But at least it's nice for the eyes.
