How to Make a Stacked Leather Knife Handle

It was some leather, now it's a knife handle, which means now it's both.
Sorry to anyone hoping to buy this puppy, she's spoken for.

Eli, your production quality has skyrocketed recently. I have been binging you videos the past few days to try and get some ads (also because I love them), and I gotta say that the video quality has always been great, but you just keep getting better and better man.

I know right. One can only hope to make it to that level of video making:)

His edits are smoother now but he definitely used to get better camera angles on his videos like two years ago

Seeing proper use of a tap/die set has restored my soul. Seeing you grab the swarf from your drilling with your bare hands immediately returned it to its shattered state.

[@garrettzell5517]

This dude literally has to move back in with his parents because of youtube and still makes the coolest things ever I love you and your content keep it up

[@treetheory8465]

I honestly feel like Eli's humor is pretty underrated. I came for the builds but stay for the memes.

Yeah I was looking for variations in people’s leather techniques but I’m subbing for the humor

I took a trip back to your first video for old times sakes. Even though youre older than me, (im 19) ive got to watch you grow up. I started watching 7 years ago with part 1 of home made weapons, and went on to watch the rest of the parts (i think you had part 3 up at the time). So awesome to grow up with you in a sense. i can say i dont think id be doing it if it were not for you. I remember the video where you encouraged us all at home to “just do it” as shia would say. And that day i cleared off our workbench in my basement from all the clutter, put in a vise, and ever since ive been making everything from pvc bows, to bullwhips, to makeshift bongs with my glass cutting bits, and JB weld (i knew about it first😉). So i just wanted to thank you for getting my creative but lazy brain to do something productive. You are a legend. Thank you, Eli. Seincerely, Chase.

[@gideonebeling]

WHY THE H*CK WAS THAT TAP AND DIE SCENE SO WELL SHOT? Like that was amazing cinematography. Well done, Eli. Well done.

[@laughoutloud7844]

He knows we like it when he highlights his new skills. I’ve been loving the leather stuff. Someday he will get a full forge and make a knife from a billet hopefully we will see an Eli and Alec collaboration eventually too.

You put a lot of hard work into this you’ve earned every bit of what you have. God bless man

[@jonenglish6617]

great video, very cool knife. Pro tip on the tapping; throw a counter sink on the hole before you tap on both sides. No burr and it helps to align the tap.

[@KhannUurrr]

Dude I love your content! You should maybe look into getting on Forged in Fire, you'll have to make some bigger blades, but it would be good to get your self out there and potentially win big! :D

Eli I love your channel. I’ve been watching for a while now and honestly I’m surprised you haven’t given up. Your channel has been through hell and I have a lot of respect for you because you stuck around. I will continue to watch, and like your videos until you stop. I’m really sorry to hear about your videos getting deleted, but you’ll comeback I know it:) good luck! Have a great day:)

[@8090501]

The amount of saves he made in this video was unreal.

[@leebobz123]

I love your content, from the presentation to the final “product” (can’t be using that W word out here), but the thing I love most of all, is that I’ve never once turned off or paused one of your videos when it’s on in the background, no matter what I do. From the volume balance to the music, no video of yours that I’ve watched has anything offensive to the ears enough for me to notice and click off when I’m playing a game or studying, and that’s something I don’t think I can say for any more than a handful of channels I’ve come across. I love the content, I love the cringe humour, and I love what you make x

[@tomishere3401]

The first video I watched was the army of two mask about 5 years ago and since then I've been hooked. I'm 14 and you have been a huge inspiration to me and why I make things. I recently started wanting to make knifes and my grandpa is going to help me with it. But I just wanted to say thank you for being one of my biggest inspirations in life, and for being there to upload and cheer me up when I was depressed! - Alex L

[@purplegrapiest]

I've come to realise why I love this channel. Your videos are very reminicsent of the early youtube era in which it was about the love of making the video and the product. You don't start the video yelling at me and you don't have constant shit barraging me throughout the video, just peaceful and clean video editing. Please keep grinding and innovating an original style of video making.

[@lukewilliams8548]

I want to tell you that I recently upgraded my belt sander/grinder. I went from a wen 4x36 1/2hp 1900 fpm to a shop fox 2x72 1hp 4500fpm with a 10 inch contact wheel, a platten, and slack belt, and the difference was accurately "get what you pay for." The 4x36 was $120, and the 2x72 was $640. The difference in performance feels like the difference in cost. I am really glad I made that investment. I highly recommend considering it. They had a 5 month payment plan that made it possible.

[@tobiasgoehring7171]

The thing is I always like your videos without even noticing it so that in the end of the videos I'm all ways surprised that I already liked it!

[@DeweyKentM]

Eli, three words: Bicycle wheel bow. I just saw a video and it has you written all over it. It has potential, but it’s not there yet. As far as I can see, there’s only one other person that’s tried making a crossbow with the same technique. Whether it’s a bow or crossbow, I think it would be a cool project.

[@coletonanthony9588]

You've come a long way in not only the build quality, but also the video quality as well. I remember watching you when I was 14 or 15 and just starting to do my own builds, which were very lackluster. Took a trip down memory lane and was hit by nostalgia about being excited to see what you'd done this time. Keep up the good work brother, you're an inspiration to so many people.

Greetings, I have an old Eastwing hatchet that the handle pooped out on years ago. So I thought I’d build another stacked leather handle.

I just want to say you do a really good job with your videos…yeah, pretty much, You do a really good job with your videos. Oh, sense of humor is great.
