That clamp set up for the handle liners is so simple I don’t know how I haven’t come up with a similar one yet

[@RedBeardOps]

It gets the job done for sure!

[@greekveteran2715]

Most beatiful patterns on a leather sheath!! If you do the same half-moon shape near he stitching on the back, this sheath will look way better! Just that on the back side.nothing else! Also, the finish on the side, where the different straps of leather join together if it's more rounded and blackened, looks way better!! A thicker leather, would also upgrade both the function and the longevity of the sheath (especially on 4 inch blade knives and bigger! I own one (uknown maker) that is made as I described and is by far my most beatuful sheath and the best to use, because of the thiker and better quality leather. It also smells better than any leather I had on any sheath.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thanks for the ideas! Cheers

[@shawnoubre2171]

I think you leather workmanship is awesome. That sheath came out beautiful. Post more videos of leatherwork. Awesome BUILD!!!

That is an awesome knife and sheath. I love blades shaped and sized like that to skin deer with and use larger knives to separate joints. Most think I'm crazy when I pull out my dinky little skinning knife but once they try it they understand why.

[@RedBeardOps]

Very cool sir! Cheers man

You should try to build a knife using a 1x30 belt sander kind of like that budget video you did a while back! I only have a 1x30 belt sander and I wanna see if it’s possible to make good bevels with one

[@RedBeardOps]

Not a bad idea sir! I think Jeremy at simple little life just did that! Go check it out over there for sure.

Just stumbled across you as a recommended video and just finished the "Bushcraft Knife & Leather Sheath" and then came to this one. Your knives are awesome, and you have upped your sheath game in a very short time. Well done. New subscriber.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you sir! That's much appreciated. One of the nice things about starting a KZbin channel is being able to go abck over my previous work and see the progression. I'd have to agree with you on my sheath work. I've learned a ton on blade forums talking with the likes of Dave Ferry @ horsewrightclowthing and watching some of the teachings from Paul Long. If you like custom sheath work, it would be worth your time to check out Diomedes industries as well. Lots of great makers out there! Anyways, cheers sir!

[@johnsimpson2704]

Great job. Your leather work has come along very nicely. Using better quality tools for tooling makes all the difference. Just be careful when picking your leather work that you have something under it just in case it goes all the was through it could damage the irons. That is about all. Awesome job.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you very much! The upgraded stamp I ordered (not shown here) made all the difference.... Can't wait to show that new basket weave off. Anyways, have a great Sunday

[@chrisluther8425]

Thanks for the great content you have the best knife making videos on KZbin.. I'm just getting started attempting to make knives and I had a question about the pins for handles. I'm going try to use pins first before I even attempt to use corby fasteners. Is it ok to use 3/16 pins or are 1/8 inch pins better? I feel like 3/16 would be stronger but everyone I see online uses 1/8 inch.

[@RedBeardOps]

Glad you're enjoying them Chris! I'd say choose the one you like astatically better. Should be no major difference in strength.

James, do you teach as part of your day job? You have either practice or a natural talent for it! They turned out fantastically well, man. The knife is very elegantly-shaped, and impeccably finished. Your leatherwork is coming on in leaps and bounds, too. Loved this build. I told you I would. 🇬🇧✌🏻🇺🇸

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you sir! Nope, that's not my primary profession, but I do end up teaching from time to time with my work. I find that organizing your thoughts and presenting it to others tends to help you understand things better. Makes you explain the "why" you do a lot of things. I'm stoked you enjoyed this build! Have a great weekend my friend.

[@buckyrauch2953]

Quick question that is probably dumb.. How long do the blades on portaband seem to hold up before replacing? I don't feel I get too many knives out of one blade.

[@RedBeardOps]

I run them till they break... probably isn't the safest thing to do. I haven't counted, but they last a decent amount of time!
