Custom Knife Making Sculpted Bowie handles with Nick Wheeler part 8

[@cae2487]

This video is 10 years old and I have watch literally thousands of hours of knife making content and nick here has the best attention to detail and ability to explain what he is doing and more importantly why he is doing it. I wish I could convince him to start making these long form videos again. It's always a pleasure to to watch them.

[@paulwernichdesigns]

Thank you for all the time to take to make these videos. I have learnt so much about handle shaping and knifemaking from you.

[@Robert-ko6wr]

Incredible series! Never have I learned so much in such a short period. This is beyond artistry but rather the dedicated work of a man in search of perfection. I would say you found it but I know you would disagree. I wouldn’t argue with the maker of a knife as exquisite as this. Thank you for sharing.

I have been forging Camp/Bushcraft, and heavy use knives for just over 10 years. I just recently decided to take the plunge and start using the stock removal process to make more "refined and showy" type knifes. Obviously the fit and finish will need to be tighter with the SR method. Your videos have helped and given me an awfully lot of information in just a few hours. Thank you for what you do, how much you share and the way in which you share! I subscribed yesterday and look forwards to more of your insite!

I watched all 8 segments of this. Nearly killed the battery on my tablet. It was worth it! I've been making knives for over 10 years. I learned so much about proper fit and finish. Thank you so much.

The handle reminds me of the old Arab movies my father used to watch! I'm learning from you amazing stuff. I'm obsessed with blacksmithing! I even have a bucket load of fire bricks, steel, gas torches etc. I'm getting there! Lol.

[@NickWheeler33]

Thanks! Good luck with your blacksmithing endeavors!😊

[@jamesmgordon83]

Two quick questions. One, what is the black backing you use on your sanding sticks? It looks a little mushy. Two, where do you get your scotchbrite material and what is it from? Thanks for the videos nick!

[@kylebates3627]

"Just like that" Good one nick.

[@gutembergmao]

[@symons666]

symons666 Thanks symon. :) I think there's a really fuzzy line between OCD and craftsman, LOL :D

[@ivnf85]

Spasibo (on russian)! Thank you!

[@Antipodean33]

I've looked around on your channel but can't seem to find if you sell these at all, and if so how would one go about ordering?

[@NickWheeler33]

Antipodean33 Thanks for asking! :) I'm back working a "regular full time job" these days, and have gotten way behind on my orders. So, unfortunately, I can't accept any orders at this time. I do appreciate your interest though, thank you! :)

[@thmcm7]

Nick Wheeler, I am a retired individual that thought he could sculpt his own handle for his bowie blade. I quickly realized that I don't have the skill set to do this. If I were to ship all my components (blade, tang, & wood for handle) could you possibly sculpt a handle for me? Naturally I would pay for your services, whatever you would request. Please let me know. Also I am in no hurry. I have been trying to get this doen for quite awhile now. Ruint a set of maple handles trying to to this. Since I ordered walnut pieces but I don't have the tools or equipment that you do. Thanks

[@NickWheeler33]

Thanks for asking, but that's just not something that I would be able to do. If I can do it, anyone can... just gotta keep after it. :)

[@tubekulose]

Wow!!!

[@johnmutton799]

BEING HONEST COUNTS MATE.
