I like high sabre grind knives, and this one is a nice example of knives I like.

[@johnjude2685]

Review again and I'm planning a short blade skinning deer knife and much of this fits my idea of a deer knife. 🦌 Thanks for the teaching Sir

[@merleswanger5749]

It’s is awesome , like the rustic look

[@RedBeardOps]

Great looking knife sir! Beefy and tough. 🙌

[@damionlowther78]

Fancy seeing you here lol.

[@Rsc1970]

You did a great job! Love the rustic look on blade.

[@JoaKazing]

Love it. Also your explanations during the whole process is really helpful.

[@nikolaosbogdanopoulos5509]

Great work brother, I think this is my favourite of your knives! Keep up the good work!

[@chrisjacobo7997]

Men you did a great job like the grinding session 👌🏼😉

[@paulmendolia8483]

Love this knife

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@ljblades2473]

Great knife! You're a brave man to shape the handle without putting tape on the blade.

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Older video I know, but the knife... I dig it! ;-)

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@Unclelarry766abc]

Hello, first off…great blade! Love the shape and colors. I did have a question about the acid bath. You first submerged the blade prior to handles…but I would assume that when working on the handle shaping, you would inevitably remove the acid wash from the tang. Did you redid the handle with the micarta after you were done to keep the even finish?

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, I just go back with a Q-Tip and re-etch the tang.

[@wiggsan]

Awesome design!!! Do you mind me asking what price you sold this knife for?

[@timtheflyguy]

definitely keep showing the scale shaping...others fly through it!!

[@takitwome]

I dig it a lot. Beautiful piece ....well done

[@oscarorozco1137]

loving this knife my guy! im a simple man and this is a simple yet perfect knife!

[@damasydia]

Awesome knife, great video

[@stevenjennings8347]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@joesmalley806]

My kinda knife that. Good work.

[@ChrisR676]

Such a good shape to the knife! One day I shall have a go 👌🏽

[@noelyanez6890]

Beautiful knife

[@williammetzger3206]

Really nice it’s a beautiful knife

[@goodinplenty1]

Great looking knife!

[@BergenMotard]

Thank you for informative videos and detailed work ! Best regards from Norway. Robin

[@jbowerman50]

I've always wanted to make some knives. I have in the past worked as a gunsmith, and one of the things I did alot of was making pistol grips. I'm thinking a checkered handle would be awesome. Your thoughts?

[@carycleland9506]

Love the knife. FYI Linseed Oil doesn’t soak into micarta. It will color the surface fibers but it doesn’t soak in.

[@jero-many1541]

Nice Blade, I like. Good job!

[@chuckcolgan5817]

Best knife so far... But I haven’t seen all your vids quite yet:)

[@RustyGunn7]

Very nice and cool looking knife!

[@kaifitzer4164]

A beauty. Good job

[@chadbusenitz1892]

Love that knife! Simple and rustic. Like a good camping knife.

[@wayneclenney8023]

Good job

[@isaacs_knives_and_knowledge]

What sort of acid do you use to wash the blade in? Looking forward to trying to make my own blade. You have great videos

[@БоровПажилой]

Nice work!!!

[@Eric-kw2ih]

Awesome lookin knife!

[@darrelljones3382]

I love that pattern. Very very nice. Love O-1 tool steel blades and micarta. What color or colors do you call that micarta?

[@johnjude2685]

Like your way and design I'm on DIY as I'm trying to learn. Please if possible as I'm trying to listen for information about DIY. Understand that drilling, hammer, grinding NOISE I GET ENOUGH FROM MY GARAGE AND FORGE. OFTEN I'll turn off the video or volume and then can't hear what is being taught. Don't you remember instructor stopping work to instruct the students. Yeah other than Noise a very good video .As I'm alone and not disturbing family. Thanks for the teaching Sir

[@merleswanger5749]

On the handles , what think was it , I like that color , I would like to get them for 2 knives I’m making

[@theriversexperience9383]

These were a tan/brown micarta that I got from Jantz knife supply.

[@heathmiles2887]

You said you acid etched the spine and belly, how? I know you did initially but wouldn't that have been sanded off during handle shaping?

[@theriversexperience9383]

I went back with a Q-tip and applied the acid to just the spine and belly .

[@KrachWerke]

Do you need to heat treat file metal when using it to make a knife? Of so why? I would have thought it is hard enough already. Sorry for noob question.

[@theriversexperience9383]

It helps to anneal the files before working with them to save on abrasives and drill bits. You could always just anneal the tang to be able to drill the holes for the handle pins though. I will typically anneal 3-4 files at once and make a few knives at a time.

[@KrachWerke]

@@theriversexperience9383 So if I understand this correclty the file is hard enough for a knife but tempering it in an over twice at around 200C makes it more easier to work with and tougher? (Not harder)

[@tonyjuliano4673]

Another beautiful knife! How long did it take from start to finish roughly? Thank you for the video. I really like your work and how you explain what you are doing.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Without considering drying times for the epoxy, I have about 9 hours in that knife.

[@theriversexperience9383]

I can spend 4-6 hours on working on the handle alone.

[@richardparker1699]

There is one guy that forges knives and swords . His movie is 1 hour to 90 minutes. Yours is short. Nice vid and beautiful knife.

[@jeradeaton3190]

Beautiful, do you sell them?

[@tlgoodwi1]

Nice work. What do you with all the knives you make? I heard you say this one was sold. Do you have a website where your knives are for sale? Thanks.

[@melvinreyansh8700]

i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@connorjameson3152]

@Melvin Reyansh Instablaster ;)

[@melvinreyansh8700]

@Connor Jameson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@melvinreyansh8700]

@Connor Jameson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@connorjameson3152]

@Melvin Reyansh No problem :)

[@micahellenburg8642]

What do you recommend for tempering time and temp for 01

[@johnnyg6380]

Nice one 👍

[@Birb_of_Judge]

The thing you need when drilling steel is the right rpm for your drill size and most importantly to keep your drills from overheating/dulling is coolant, lubricant or something that does both.

[@theriversexperience9383]

100% agree, great info.

[@Birb_of_Judge]

@@theriversexperience9383 for the sizes you use I would recommend around 500-800rpm

[@justins5996]

Great knife. How come you go with the belt on 800 grit?

[@theriversexperience9383]

It creates a more consistent bur on the edge.

[@doubleclone7699]

howcome u dindt shape the handles that are facing the blade before glueing? since now its glued it'd be way harder to shape that

[@theriversexperience9383]

That is a step that I do complete now. If you watch the videos in order of them being released you will see the growth of me as a knife maker. I have pretty much documented my entire knife making journey.

[@Chevelle_addict]

Use a shop vac near the work to keep the dust to a minimum

[@wellbornjuryguinto8789]

all your knives are awesome is there any way i can order sir im from the philippines

[@hawintherknives4386]

Nice

[@nateand3]

You should make handle scales out of a baseball bat. That would be a cool knife "right off the bat"

[@nateand3]

Lol seriously tho, I love the knife. Good job man

[@theriversexperience9383]

HAHA, I might do this.

[@JoaKazing]

So, how much did you sell that for?

[@Lumbeecarpenter]

Great knife, how can I order one

[@rejeeshrejeesh7828]

Lovely

[@rejeeshrejeesh7828]

Pl send me

[@rejeeshrejeesh7828]

I like it

[@rejeeshrejeesh7828]

Can I get this one? How much this knife cost???

[@giammarcocosta7741]

What kind of acid do you use?

[@theriversexperience9383]

50/50 mixture of ferric acid and distilled water.

[@johnst65]

How did you mount your portaband

[@theriversexperience9383]

With a table that Swag Offroad makes. look up "Swag Offroad Porta Band Saw".

[@johnst65]

@@theriversexperience9383 Thank you

[@TheScrawnyLumberjack]

I gotta come out and say it. Your drill bits are dull and it’s painful to watch.
