Completing My First Hidden Tang Handle! | Knife Makers Vlog

[@tobiasruth3397]

I really like how that Tasmanian myrtle looks. Your work looks great too. I love the seamless handle to bolster transition.

[@belliott538]

I love it…! I’d be happy to “Test It” in the Kitchen… 😎👍

[@gorken74]

Excellent work. Very attractive knife for sure. Great ideas for working on a hidden tang blade.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@psettlement]

I came in towards the end of the build, but I'll catch up! Nice work, enj0oyed the show.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@anttir4507]

Just found your channel and big 👍. Little tip for that handle drilling. After drilling jos warm the tang and showe it in handle. Fits perfect.

[@Quietpartoutloud1971]

I think that is one beautiful blade, look good in a kitchen as well on someone's hip

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks, I think so too!

[@anthonyalamonti44]

That's a beautiful knife wish I had some of that wood it's absolutely incredible. I've never heard of it

[@rondangeli4175]

awesome I like the transition from the bolster to the spine

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you, I wanted it to be nice and smooth.

[@C.A.Newman]

Holy smokes, Erick. That turned out so good! The myrtle, the bolster, the hamon line, the profile... Everything looks great. I'd call that a hell of a success for your first hidden tang.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Cory!

[@valinn13]

Man! That's a beautiful wood! The final product looks fantastic!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Beautiful! Well done!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It turned out amazing! Great job!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Denis!

[@timjohle8876]

That’s how I do mine. The bolster and the spine is flat. Looks better and feels better. Great job Eric. The first one I did,it seemed like I was so far behind. Like I could have made 4 knives by the time it took to do that one.

[@theriversexperience9383]

This is exactly how it felt. It felt like it took forever.

[@jeromierigo2759]

Work of art

[@123gonow]

Wow that is beautiful ! I think this may be the best knife I have seen you make here ! I am glad you moved outside your comfort and created this hidden tang. Nice work Erick !

[@mattmcdaniel3896]

Just gorgeous! Amazing that it’s your first hidden tang. Doing your homework, taking your time, and talent really paid off. Great job!

[@skjeggmennkniver-skjeggmen5600]

A truly beautiful blade Erick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@krissteel4074]

Whole lot of elements that came together really beautifully, I especially like the bolster to compliment it. Great to see!

[@kenledson]

That is a beautiful knife, I hope to get that good someday

[@dominicdwk]

Beautiful work.

Beautiful piece of art

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@leotorts]

Great information and video. I was hoping to see the set up for drilling the pin hole in the handle though.

[@bjornronaldson6017]

That is a gorgeous knife! I love the transition and the use of the makume. Beautifully done!

[@sudo_nym]

Awesome job, Erick. You gotta be pleased with that!!! 🇬🇧🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@theriversexperience9383]

I am, Thanks!

[@paulwilliams5800]

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to try it.

[@briancarpenter1051]

Fantastic job, I'm continually impressed by every knife you make.

[@Jim-fr3gr]

That is some beautiful wood,good build.

[@donduncan4047]

Unbelievable! You sure are a master knife maker!

[@davidscadlock5569]

Amazing!!!! Love it!!!

[@scottmccarroll2618]

Really beautiful knife you killed it

[@onebad36ford]

Bella design and excellent workmanship. I’d love to have one of those 2x20’s. I’m working with a 1x30 and it’s holding me back.

[@aarronroberts811]

Beautiful work

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@BamaDanKnives]

Turned out great!!! Awesome work!

[@Anderson-HandForged]

you nailed that build love how it came out 2 thumbs up my friend

[@bigiron5508]

Man, I just love your videos, short sweet and to the point..I've been making knifes for a while now and a hidden tang is next on my list, with that being said I'm thinking about the harbor freight mini milling machine, for under 700 plus bucks it might not be a bad investment, plus I could use it for other stuff I create, I know not everyone can afford one but thought I'd put it out there...anyway, love the channel.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mauricevalls3600]

That hidden tang turned out awesome

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@j.pknifeworks3765]

you should definitely make a sheath for that

[@j.pknifeworks3765]

Thats amazing

[@isaacsudduth1574]

That knife looks awesome. I've done a hidden tang knife once before and I know what it's like to try and figure out how to assemble it. Also I love the texture on that tasmanian wood.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Isaac! I definitely had to do a lot of planning, changing those plans, and then plan for other plans lol.

[@kennycampbelljr5896]

@@theriversexperience9383 that knife is beautiful. Well done.

[@selfmadeworkshop4324]

Killer job man 🔥🔥👊

[@clydetroutman8887]

Nice knife, but as usual the video was very well done very informative and well layed out, kudos.

[@armandosanchez712]

Me gusta mucho

[@SaintBigAl]

Awesome! as usual. ; )

[@henryknight7876]

you did great job for the 1st hidden tang was as good as any of the others that have way more tooling Airon and Dennis both use the 1,2,3, block to center the handle to the blade great job nice knife. what is the HRC hardness of that knife just wondering ?

[@theriversexperience9383]

It was 60 HRC. It holds an insane edge.

[@VincentPriceknives]

Man that's gorgeous. I'd love to get ahold of some of that handle material. Can you point me in the direction to purchase some?

[@theriversexperience9383]

This was sent to me by a viewer from Australia. I honestly wouldn't really know where to get it from, It's Tazmanian Myrtle.

[@cristianofacasartesanais1659]

[@FlyLan]

Forgive my green horn, as it were, but will someone lmk what this bolster material is so I can see how it's spelled? I heard "molta/mocha bigané". lmao I'm sure what I heard and what it is in actuality are two very different things. Thanks in advance.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Mokume Gane, is what you're looking for.

[@FlyLan]

I actually just found it about 5 minutes before reading this comment. How's that for timing? Lmao Thanks so much for the response!
