Making a Boy's First Knife and Sheath, AEBL and Kydex

[@dawnaustin-richmon2575]

Anthony, thank you so much for the tour of your forge shop. Alex still talks about it today. He loves showing all his friends the video and the special knife you made for him. He has learned knife safety and really loves his knife. He loves carving and waddling (sp). Ales is so very proud of his special knife. He keeps it in a very special place where nobody can get to it, especially younger kids. Thank you again so much for the extreme care and attention you gave in this very special project!

It was fun making the video for him, I think it's one of my favorites.

Thanks Justin! It was a fun project and it was a fun challenge to try and include him in the build.

Nice knife! I like the detailed hand work, it looks very professional. I need to go back now and check out those other videos you were talking about.

Thanks, it's a nice little knife, I wanted to keep it for myself!

That was one great video. I have never seen the cryo treatment on a knife. Great looking knife and sheath.Thanks for the video.

Some steels require a much deeper cryo with liquid nitrogen, but AEBL can be done at home just fine. I just pick up a block of dry ice at a grocery store and it works great.

You sell online somewhere?

[@SelfMadeProject]

Mainly on social media or word of mouth locally. I have a regular job, so can't make that many knives. When I have one for sale, it'll be on Facebook, the knife forums, Instagram, or here on KZbin. They usually don't last long.
