Hello Tony, as usual, your tutorials and knives are great. Thumbs up!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

@S.Vallieres thank you my friend 🙂

[@willardjames2685]

Working on a huge batch of knives for the Belville show, 17 knives in total. A lot of handle sculping will be coming soon, so this video was perfect timing! Thanks!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

That’s awesome man! Wish I could be there.

[@ichtheanforge6468]

You covered two things I struggle with: handle shape and getting the best use of your 2X72 grinder. Great video!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you! I’m glad it helps a little. 🙂

[@JoeDees-sq3pu]

Nice! Makes it look easy . . . to easy . . . the center mark is key!!!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thanks buddy. You right on about that center mark. 🙂

[@RedBeardOps]

Always learn something watching your videos sir! Glad that fixture is useful for you! Would love a dedicated video on your bedding process... if you haven't done that already. I've had marginal success in the past bedding

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thanks brother! Yes I thought it was a cool idea. I have a height gauge but for folks that don’t, this is just as good and maybe better for this step. I haven’t done a video on bedding but I will put it in my list. I find that if it is bedded well enough, I don’t need line up pins.

Great video and explanation, turned out a fantastic knife and that was an awesome piece of wood too, thank you Tony

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thanks Paul! Yes that’s a beautiful piece of wood. 🙂

Great video Mr. Severio!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you my friend

[@bjsreef6620]

Thank you for the great video. You explain everything so well. I can’t help but subscribe to your channel. One question where can I find more information on how to make that scribe line box from the 1’2’3 blocks?

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Check out Red Beard Ops channel. That’s my friend Iames Keatings channel. He did a video on it and now he’s even 3d printing some.

[@jbyrd3304]

I also like your belt grinder set up! I am guessing you built it. First time seeing one like that!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

These are two old belt grinders made by Bader. One of them I bought 30 years ago. still kicking. :)

[@DONJUILIO]

Wow just Wow, If that's not perfect I cannot wait to see when it is.

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you my friend, I appreciate the kind words 🙂

[@tonybryant5524]

Very nice work friend, beautiful work

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you!!

[@dominicdwk]

Yes, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@TonySeverioKnives]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching. 🙂

[@dominicdwk]

@@TonySeverioKnives I learn a lot from your videos. I’ll be applying this shaping process to my next hidden tang.

[@TonySeverioKnives]

@dominicdwk awesome man, that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for watching!

[@TheOGfrenchy]

Dude! Great video ! Awesome knife!!!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you!!!

[@cae2487]

Great job Tony! I've got one question for you. I occasionally have trouble keeping everything symmetrical from one side to the other. Is there any tips or tricks to keeping it symmetrical from side to side? Thanks

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thanks! The only way I do it is go slow and watch the reference lines. 🙂

[@justingoodman5600]

Another great instructional video Mr Tony! My question is what size wheel are you using? I only have a 12” right now and looking to get something smaller. I’ve heard several makers use 5-6 inch wheels for that type of handle but would like your opinion. Thanks

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you! I’m using a 6” in this vid. Sometimes I use a 4” depending on the knife size etc.

[@richardbranton190]

That turned out awesome as always 👍 for some reason my dumbass decided it was a good idea to grind and handsand 10 blades at one time so I wouldn't have to do it again for awhile. I don't know what I was thinking at the time but I won't make this mistake again. I'll be needing this video if I ever get these things sanded

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you my friend. Wow you e been busy for sure! Well I hope this video helps a little. Shout f you need anything. 🙂
