Recently got into scale making. Glad I found your channel.

[@exodus_gs1]

Pretty freaking sweet. Thats my favorite knife shape of the three and that handle fits the aggressive shape

[@merleswanger5749]

That’s one awesome knife love that color

[@MrTate1970]

Turned out really nice. I'm going to try one.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@phila1714]

Nice brother been wanting to try this! Also wanna make my own micarta scales cool video 👍

[@arturozarate1752]

I just tried this same "divet", but I left space between the opposed spine down vs. across from each other. It netted me wide smoother divets. The red and black micarta I used worked great with an OD green 1/16 liner. I was happy with mine too. I placed a stupid order for micarta scales.....

[@NRiggiKnives]

Came out great and that modified Anso pattern fits nicely on that blade

[@randywheeler3236]

That is fantastic, the shape of the handle,the color ,everything looks balanced. I am looking forward to seeing you do that again on a triple stacked scale. Stay safe.

[@supahonky9492]

That's one beautiful knife. I think it's great that you can see your passion through your work.

[@nateand3]

That's freakin awesome man. Love it. Love the OD and black too

[@heathmiles2887]

Good stuff!!! Pisses me off that you can 'try something new' and BOOM you have a great knife. Enjoy your stuff!!!

[@MadMan559est69]

What, that is perfection. Awesome

[@kengoodman7719]

Again, awesome work. You definitely have the knack! Great job!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@allanknives]

Love it! Especially on a file knife. Adds a lot of personality to the piece. A snake knot lanyard would add a nice touch.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Oh it will definitely get a snake knot lanyard.

[@buddyhutchins3782]

Another winner......Really like how the scales turned out and the handle does look comfortable. I made one similar last year and was satisfied with it too. Anaco, Anz.

[@michaellocy4750]

I like the shape. My favorite is still the red one. Great work

[@SuperSaiyanSalmon]

Man, this is sweet! I love that gnarly reptilian look across the scales against the file contours on the blade. Great job! Cheers from Australia 🙏

[@johndesantis8167]

Erik you can also do the gimping on the Small Contact wheel on your Belt grinder .use the top of the wheel. It’s more aggressive because of the Power of the grinder but it takes less time as well . Just another idea for you .Scales came out great !!!

[@johndesantis8167]

Knife looks awesome too !!!

[@bryaneuwer1648]

I really like your videos. You share things that didn't quit go right which is helpful. your vids are very informative and I like your style. You have art in your craft.

[@Heartwing37]

This came out looking REALLY great!

[@SuperJeff707]

Yeah that's a great looking little knife for sure

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@dufferfishing4217]

Excellent as ever. Was great to see how pleased you were. I have a knife that is at an almost identical shape and stage as yours was at the start of the video. I’ll be trying this textured on mine also, for the first time. White Bone Knives does a great video just on this subject. He also has some good tips and advice.

[@dmitriykozachok8586]

You are an inspiration, Sir! I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@MrSoloun]

Looks great, I've seen a few people use a brass wire wheel on textured G10 to knock of the high spot and keep a matt style finish that looks good as well. I just finished a blade last weekend and tried textured handles and quite liked the look and feel.

[@shamuscollins5861]

This is really cool bud. I like that a lot.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Glad you like it

[@MetalKllaw]

To be honest I was afraid this knife would end up looking too "busy" with the three bevels, the file patern and a textured grip. But you, sir, you knocked it off the park. It really did turn out awesome! I'm also glad to see how happy you are with it! I really like the cut out on the scales for the lanyard hole you did on this knives, I did something similar to two of my own knives a while back, so yeah, I really like it! The next one is my favorit eof this batch, can't wait.

[@billclancy4913]

I always tape my handles when shaping/finishing my handles to protect the blade from the abrasives, as well as myself from the blade.

[@chadbusenitz1892]

Love those scales! Great job

[@rustytygart405]

Great video I don’t know about everyone else but I’m starting out making and your videos are great I’ve learned so much from you I don’t know if you’ll read this or what’s on your agenda but handle sculpting videos are pretty sparse on KZbin It would be great to see more of these type videos Thanks for sharing

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you! I'm happy that they are helpful and I'll be adding more of them. I do have a bunch on the channel already. Most of the builds have videos dedicated to the handle process, if you want to check them out.

[@triune_blades]

That's awesome. I'm hoping mine will turn out this good

[@leostraker3494]

its called rock pattern 👍👍👍 nice job!

[@damndale7279]

Wasn't sure about the Green but that texture with the three bevels it look great.

[@billyjoedenny]

did a great job my friend,, billy joe

[@benrussellknives8828]

Looks Awesome man!!

[@johnw.brunson9400]

That is cool looking knife.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Glad you like it.

[@eviecarter7231]

Sweet love that handle

[@jeffgodbey6916]

I like it. Good job.

[@Ve-suvius]

Looks beautiful. Pure art. Maybe I missed it, but do you wear a mask when doing this sanding and sawing of G10. And I don't mean an anti Covid mask 😋.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Oh, I definitely wear a mask. I have one by RZmask and it works great.

[@Ve-suvius]

@@theriversexperience9383 👍 Good to hear. I read some horrorfying stories on the dust that comes from sanding these knife handles.. One guy had a huge scar on his ribcage die to surgery.

[@kubarlov]

The Tanto is a traditional Japanese tactical knife, not the shape of the tip of the blade. Also, not every guy with a pitchfork is Poseidon. Traditional tantos generally have a rounded cutting edge at the tip of the blade. BTW you made a very nice knife 👍

[@TheRedhawke]

I still love it.

[@ikeith85ik]

The knife looks awesome man! Do you ever put any jumping on the spines of you knives? I suppose I should probably just check out your past videos.

[@theriversexperience9383]

I've done it a couple times but I'm ordering a checkering file to be able to do it more often.

[@bijax24]

Great job buddy....

[@charlessalser9865]

nice work

[@robertvilla2997]

Awesome Dude

[@markklyne5484]

Man I think it’s pretty damn close to perfect. I’d be ecstatic to own it but I’m poor lol 😂. I can’t wait to see the next one that’s the one I’m most excited about One day I will have one of your knives lol one day

[@hermesrey]

I love your work and this knife; can I buy it ? How much?

[@jamlzak2536]

Very nice... What knife is that???

[@harrydrury4734]

Very nice !

[@GermanBadGuy]

I'm looking for the lightest way to add a grip/scales to a full tang. Is G10 the way to go? Also - what about respiration protection when working with G10? Thanks!

[@miguelhetzel2005]

Knife looks beautiful, but can you mybe desing a hidden tang knife or make a knife with bolsters.

[@theriversexperience9383]

I plan on doing both in the future.

[@miguelhetzel2005]

@@theriversexperience9383 will look awesome thanks

[@deee1979]

What is that machine called? The one for making the scale grooves…I’ve never seen one before.

[@theriversexperience9383]

It's called a Spindle Sander.

[@deee1979]

@@theriversexperience9383 thanks for replying. I’ll have to look it up. Very nice scales 👍

[@bwell6863]

I just did a Black and Blue handle, but after polishing/buffing you can see some of the white polish still in the lines from the rock pattern. Any suggestions?

[@bobwhelk2117]

What type of files do you use in your builds?

[@stevec.5010]

is this what they call ANSO pattern?

[@truetech9340]

Now i have a second job for my fu** Machine

[@texastwosteppin1680]

It looks like a pile of shit tbh ..... Jk man looks great dude. I'm about to attempt to put some new scales and finger grooves on a Ontario knife I found with a metal detector this video helped me out alot

[@jarrettlesly7279]

Super cool. I said it before...this knife was chewing tobacco in the third grade....that knife is bad! (In the good way)

[@cowboyboots9901]

Democrats gonna be angry about ghost knives.
