As someone asked for the template of the knife, I've uploaded it to my website. I'm sure you wouldn't want to use my design but if you like the profile of the knife then you can use that with your own internal design. Print the knife at 100% size to make a knife the same size as mine or scale it to suit.

[@zeljkomarinkovic745]

I actually loved the knife profile, thanks

[@hyperhektor7733]

the design would look more consisten if you make the surface of the blade also hollow (mayb add the work PASK on the Blade and the rest on the handle)

[@mountainviews5025]

Really awesome love this knife thumbs up my friends

[@lilycamillewolf8086]

Don't say that, I'll be 50 in July! :)

[@BrassLock]

@@lilycamillewolf8086 Well it's July, so I guess your birthday is around this date. I'm well into my 75th year, and I can reassure you that 50 is *nowhere near* "officially old".

[@Painless61]

Happy birthday ... continue to be successful and, above all, stay healthy

[@fatlacesthedon]

Love how the time lapse makes the jeweler saw look automatic lmao

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Tape on the back of the sandpaper is such a clever idea. Love your videos, I've watched a dozen or so over the last week.

[@jlarts]

You know you need to make a sheath for it now right? 😉

[@IanSmithKSP]

Your sense of proportion is really top notch. That’s something that can’t easily be trained you just have to have the eye for it. I’ve seen a lot of custom knives - an old girlfriend of mine was a high end knife maker and, in the world of tactical knives especially, proportion is probably the most important design element. Your knife is fantastic and I really admire the careful hours you put into it. It’s cool that the KZbin channel has made it possible for you to make money on a project like this. These days craftsmanship this meticulous in the knife world are reserved for a handful of people at the top who have tens of thousands into their equipment and branding. Or to the few, poor, dedicated smiths that do it for the calling. The quiet dignity you experienced when filing and sawing and sanding is heavily underrated and undervalued in the modern age. Chasing that feeling is what my life is about! Kudos!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much for that! I am very lucky that I'm allowed to spend my time doing these kind of projects for a living, I honestly do realise that. I agree entirely that the processes in this project is where the enjoyment of making is, at least for me anyway! :)

[@joshuadefibaugh3634]

You’re one of the few makers on KZbin that says, “it’s not the best but I’m okay with it,” and I like that a lot. And I love the knife! Make a leather sheath for it?

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Joshua! :)

[@bobjones9727]

I'm really glad to see you make this piece the old fashion way and not on a CNC machine like a lot of makers are using these day. Anything made on a CNC machine just cannot be called "handmade". Of course if your in production mode for a big profit CNC's are useful. Really nice work here!

[@thomasverdi2056]

It looks beautiful I love you did it by hand and not with the CNC

[@DicitAmos]

Couldn't agree more. CNC is too techno pumped , it has no soul..

[@nowonmetube]

Consensual non consent? Don't judge me, this is what tumblr has done to me.

[@snupmadra3787]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My favourite bit about your videos is your patience. You're obviously in flow!

[@jarrodhyder3557]

I love you approach to the unknown issues in your project. You give it your best guess and tinker around until you figure it out. Awesome!

[@benmillar04]

Fantastic job - you are definitely more patient than most. Happy birthday and welcome to Tassie!

[@richardgrier4721]

I know from direct experience that you do not start to get old until 70.

[@FishersShop]

Wonderful job, Neil! The knife looks fantastic! Happy birthday too!

[@garyhardman8369]

Beautiful job sir. Not sure if I have the patience for the hand filing. Recently, I was faced with the task of filing the inside shapes of an eight-spoke flywheel for a Stirling engine. What I did, was to adapt my cheap scroll saw to accept junior hacksaw blades. I then used strong double-sided tape to stick some emery cloth to the blades and used the contraption as a make-shift die filer. It ran a bit fast, but worked surprisingly well. Love your methods, where you use left-overs and stuff lying around to make worthwhile projects. Happy Birthday. I got to 60 in May. My brain still tells me that I am 18, my body disagrees...

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Gary! That sounds like a great solution! :)

[@negotiableaffections]

Many happy returns Neil. Beautiful knife - extraordinary patience!

[@jimmytvfclassic]

Happy Birthday Pask!! one doesn't get old, it gets wiser!

[@toucanproductions2935]

I admire the level of patience and persistence for this particular project.

[@AtticusDraco]

Happy Birthday, Neil! Welcome to the 'Old Club'! :)

[@JustJimWillDo]

Nice work. I'd've chucked that in the bin halfway through filing the first letter! Happy Birthday, young feller, and enjoy your break in Tassie. I'll give a generalised wave out to the Southern Ocean from Warrnambool.

[@константинфирсов-р8м]

Потрясающее терпение ! С Днем Рождения , крепкого здоровья и новых творческих проектов !

[@IR-nq4qv]

No.., you're not crazy, listening to a good book, one could quickly get in the zone and time is no longer a factor. For something that's only piece, there is a lot more time and effort gone into this knife than something with scales, bolster etc, a lot of intricate work gone into it and it shows. It doesn't matter if you're shoveling sheep manure as long as you are enjoying the task, your work ethic and attitude towards going the extra mile is infectious. Keep up the great videos, I have binged watched all your uploads, found them to be very enjoyable and relaxing. BTW.. Have a great Birthday young man.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoy the videos and I totally agree about getting into the zone! :)

[@120Livi]

You've got a lot more patience than me! Worth it in the end though, looks great

[@Mcphilsmith]

Fantastic knife. Happy Birthday, Neil.

[@carloszarate2293]

Happy Birthday. Been waiting for the video. Awesome knife. Absolutely love it.

[@i.m.peterrific]

Those of us who are still only 49 really can't appreciate how old 50 is! ;) Happy birthday, hope you packed some winter woolies for the southern weather. It's been a bit cool down south lately.

[@NRCarrillo]

You make it look so fun and easy despite it's tedious nature. Great work!

[@andyfarmer759]

Many Happy Returns Neil. You must have the patience of a Saint, great job.

[@BlackDogWoodwork]

Your patients is legendary. Love it! Awesome project. Enjoy all your videos, you have become one of my favorite makers.

[@kujiyt6196]

I'm late to the party, but seeing the holes drilled ready for filing really hit the spot for me @2:03. So unique that it could be a design by itself.

[@osz.winkelmann]

Wonderful. I also love this kind of work that although time consuming requires less concentration than patience and skill. Congratulations on your work and birthday.

[@marcusretaken72]

I was hoping you'd choose your maker knife. You've inspired me to dust off my scroll saw and make something. Also.... Happy 50th!!! I hit 47 on the 13th, so I feel you on the "getting older" front. When I visit my 97 year old grandfather, I realize that "young" and "old" are all states of mind. You cannot stop the body from aging, but we can still be young! Cheers!

[@mdmx92]

Happy birthday Neil!...great work as always

[@Smallathe]

Happy birthday mate!! I'll be 50 in January - sucks, doesn't it??? Yet we have done quite a bit and had lot's of fun - and yet more to come! :) Keep up the wonderful work. It's a joy to see your work. So let me bless you with many wonderful and creative years ahead. Have fun! Saar

[@georgeerasmus7051]

Patience of a saint.

[@jay-jayswarts2768]

Happy birthday Pask! Loved the knife, well done!!

[@JohnWilliams-hn3wn]

When I think of hand made this is what I think about. You are a bit more patient than i am. Great job!

[@niemandson7746]

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Roland! :)

[@-paulmp]

Happy Birthday mate, have an awesome time in Tasmania, easily my favourite part of Australia for photography!

[@felvo1]

Happy birthday mate. Thanks for your knowledge

[@ThoughtfulBiped]

First and foremost, the best of health and happiness to you and yours on your 50th trip around the Sun. As a maker I know there is always a tendency to think/know you could have a done a better job. That is what drives improvement and it is a great trait in the realm of creativity. But, man! You can sure make a ton of cool things and regardless of how complex it may actually be, you do such a good job of making it all seem straight forward and attainable. Thanks for everything you have done and continue to do. Pure genius!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Chris! :)

[@Azvikingdesigns]

Happy birthday enjoy your trip and thank you for the wonderful videos

[@sportflyer]
