If there’s anybody here looking at this and thinking, that looks easy, it ain’t! I’ve watched a number of videos now showcasing very ‘experienced,’ knife makers like Mr. Dozier, and the confidence in which they approach the grinder, the muscle memory at work, the sheer skill at play is an absolute delight to watch! Go look at some of the newer knife makers on KZbin, all wonderful makers, not knocking them...but just see how different it is when they pull the blade across the platen or wheel compared to Bob Dozier. It really looks as if Bob is just shoving it on with reckless abandon, but he’s not, that’s the experience and skill at work. This was a joy to watch.

[@highplains7777]

Yeah, I know, lol. Anyone who makes knives, from the beginning hobby maker who makes rough knives with an angle grinder and a file jig, to the pro with a big shop and years of experience, knows this is hard, meticulous work. But what a joy!

[@SuperSteelSteve]

I'm a newer knife maker and I almost spit my coffee out when Bob just jammed the blade up to the contact wheel like he was profiling the damn thing 🤣🤣🤣 Wild to watch how easy he makes it look

[@terrillschneider3778]

I’m a retired tool and Diemaker and former buffing foreman and he’s doing everything exactly as it should be done The man is a master craftsman Wow!

[@ShawnCantwellKnives]

I love Bob. I think he’s awesome.

"Grindin' is realy simple, it just takes alot of practice" Gold!

[@mikeboone4425]

More More and then some more ,even at 77 I find it interesting . Happy Trails

[@bobbygervais6185]

Love to see a master at work. Hope to reach a fraction of that mans skill one day

[@wullgrew1]

Mr Russell arranged for me to learn how to hollow grind from Mr Dozier at the 2014 Blade Show. Like a idiot, I got tied up with the wrong people in the industry, and never made it down there. One of my biggest regrets. Goldie even warned me about the guy I got involved with.

[@CAJUNTWINSMOM]

That's my uncle! Love you Uncle Bob

[@charliebowen5071]

It seems like nothing… when you watch him stand before a grinder and just push the blade into the wheel with confidence and then hit your bevels perfectly….. that takes thousands of hours of experience and hundreds of knives… legendary

[@HouseBladeDesign]

Legend

8:29, DAMN! Collection of stags

[@gorodph]

Dry grinding and dry buffing at very high rpm is a good way to ruin the temper of the blade.

[@h.schmid1965]

Nice shop!

[@joeygonzo]

Who needs jigs when you have his talent ?

[@baylybartlett5658]

Think Bob skipped the ivory drawer.

[@charliebowen5071]

I would literally cut off a finger to be this man’s apprentice..

[@user-wv1td1vf2e]

what paste do you apply on the circle on the video at 4.50?

[@AGRussellKnivescompany]

I'm not sure what kind he's using exactly. It's a type of polishing paste/rouge.

[@user-wv1td1vf2e]

@@AGRussellKnivescompany No sparks come from the polishing paste. The video shows some kind of paste with a very fine abrasive. I am looking for something to finish with my knives.

[@HouseBladeDesign]

@@user-wv1td1vf2e it is called Satin glow goes on tacky an dries an ot blends well

[@danielcrotts6479]

80 grit satin glo.

[@avianfish8732]

No safety glasses....

[@rigajykra3159]

I know. I can’t believe he’s even holding the knife with his hands! And he’s standing up, doesn’t he know that if a plane crashes through his shop he’s less likely to get hurt if he’s crouched?

[@avianfish8732]

@@rigajykra3159 It says at the start of the video ' Don't try this at home, .. made by experts'!

[@MrMZaccone]

You might try filming with a better quality potato next time.

[@AGRussellKnivescompany]

It was an impromptu filming session. The shop is dark and noisy, which makes for poor quality images and sound. The video was just for information and fun, it's not meant to be professional.
