How to Make Knife Handles for Beginners with 5-minute Epoxy EP06 Part 4

Utmost basic sanding and gluing your handles is actually quite easy and in this video, me and Graham will show you simple easy-to-follow steps on how to make handles for you knives with Kirinite (for Graham's knife) and a solid piece of wood (for mine)! This bushcraft knife will be bonded using a 5-minute epoxy and if you are a newbie knife maker, I know you will find this video informative! If you watch it all the way through, there will also be some tricks (that will be good for pro knife makers too to know) that we'll show you to improve your epoxy's adhesion so make sure you watch all the way until the end!

Know your left from your right, unlike me 🤦‍♂️🥰😅 let us know below ⬇️ ⬇️⬇️

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Very cool, I was wondering how they got the front of the scales so nice, thank you for making the mistake for me so I don't have to 🤣 I appreciate the video very much!

[@UKBladeshow]

@@BUZZKILLJRJR you’re very welcome hahaha

[@BadDawg444]

An amazing teacher right there! Pure wisdom and experience!

[@joefergerson5243]

Love your wisdom and humor ❤. Reminds me of my dad.

[@redfiveforge3985]

Looking forward to the end result 👍😁

[@UKBladeshow]

Cheers for the comment Will! Me too 😍🥰😅🤣

[@mattselfeselfemadeknives7727]

Another great video Vinz. I would add that it is always best to wear gloves when working with epoxy as it is a skin irritant and really not good for you. Look forward to the next video.

[@UKBladeshow]

PPE is definitely prime and thanks for the reminder. I think ai didn’t wear one because the adhesives I usually use for my “day job” are not as toxic as some of the ones out there in the market hahahaha 😂😅 but thanks for the reminder 👍

[@RobanyBigjobz]

Left hand. Right hand. I haven't screwed that up with handle scales (yet). I have accidentally made a left handed sheath when I wanted a right handed one. Twice. /facepalm Top video as usual, Vinz :)

[@UKBladeshow]

Cheers Rob! I actually enjoyed making (and watching several times hahaha) this specific ones because of Graham’s intolerance of my stupidity hahaha

[@wildvodkaman8603]

what epoxy are you useing pls tell me ive been looking for a good one

[@UKBladeshow]

Hi wild vodka man. There are plenty of great epoxy adhesives out there, depending really on what you would consider as 'good'. Most of the ones I know of, even unbranded ones, have good adhesive strength. Do you need? - Flexibile (absorb load) or Rigid (transfer load)? - Ideal Cure Speed? - Bond which substrates? - Environment / temperature resistance? - Yes or no to surface prep (abrading)?

[@darnstewart]

I think it depends on the type of grass you're growing. Farmer or hydroponics. 😂

HOW MANY INTRO FX WHERE FAKE???????

[@UKBladeshow]

Hahaha I believe the number was 21 in total. It’s probably my fault for overcomplicating things but I am enjoying both video and audiobooks editing far more than I thought I would. Don’t forget it’s not just the intros, I add in a lot of subtle SFX throughout the whole video (example is the footsteps, crank noises, forge flame sound etc).
