So much experience and skill required to do a proper job, then going beyond that it becomes artistry....beautiful knife.! Was not aware of your knives before but will definitely be looking for them now. Cheers!

I wouldn't take the mushrooms off, the knife esthetics would look more pleasing, stunning knife by the way.

That is an absolutely gorgeous pocket knife. I'm a big fan of wood handles.

I’m no knife maker but I really enjoyed watching this video. Is this a washer at the pivot area? Why is it not at the other two pins? Thank you

Lorsque tu mates les rivets, tu frappes pas avec la boule du marteau normalement ? (When you hammer in rivets, don't you normally hit with the ball of the hammer?)

Dude, watching you grind the mushrooms off have me do much anxiety. Crazy crazy skills you have. Thanks for the video.
@MeadesKnives2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your kind words. So appreciate. Yes the biggest issue is not really hitting the knife scales with the grinding wheel , it’s overheating the pins which causes other problems like burn rings around the pins.

was the pivot pin refitted over washers?
@MeadesKnives2 жыл бұрын
The pivot is fitted and the washers go over it on both sides.

Great tutorial, what type of tool do you use to taper the pin holes?
@MeadesKnives3 жыл бұрын
Just a pointed burr grinder. Around 10 degrees taper.
@normanbradley25364 жыл бұрын
Thank you for explaining this process. What about the hardness of the pins? Start with dead soft or partially hardened? I know itll work harden as it us being struck.
@MeadesKnives4 жыл бұрын
NORMAN BRADLEY the pins are 308 stainless welding rod. I don’t harden them at all. It certainly would not work if they were hard. Or hardened
@MeadesKnives3 жыл бұрын
Sorry for only replying now. They are 308 pins. Not hardened.

Thanks so much for this, it answered a lot of questions for me. Just to make sure I understand, the chamfer on the first hole is just filled by the slope/swell that forms under the mushroom shape you make? Or does the hole get filled in more when you are peening the second side? Happy new year!
@MeadesKnives2 жыл бұрын
each side gets filled when peening that side. very important for both side to be chamfered in
