Something new, good stuff Erick !

[@MrJohney]

Awesome idea i like the texture matching the blade

[@forginghard]

I don't understand your language, but it's okay. Enough learning is being achieved with just videos. Thank you so much for the video.

[@BarryJones-y3o]

I've watched a bunch of your videos just started a couple years back making things myself your videos out of a lot have helped me more than anything I'm pretty good at my left side is My Strong side as far as free hand grinding not as strong with my right side any advice would greatly be appreciated

[@bonesjr83]

Beautiful work. Question… if I want to have the guard stick out in both directions not just sharpened side of blade, how would someone go about doing that? Thanks

[@Pmedic605]

There's a knife that deserves a spot on The Walking Dead!

[@brianannarino9166]

Could you put a thin coat of epoxy on the guard between the blade and guard befor you pin it to keep dirt and water from getting under it sort of a weather seal

[@asc3ndantone]

Can't remember what it's called but do you prefer that rotary tool 🆚 Dremel 🤔. I've never done a guard before, I'm gonna try this style 😁👍 thanks man love that bowie

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yeah, I like the rotary tool way better. It's easier to use especially with the foot pedal.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The guard looks very cool! Are those brass pins you’re going to peen it on with or was that just me eyes?

[@theriversexperience9383]

I'm debating on doing brass, steel, or copper. I haven't decided just yet.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@theriversexperience9383 depends if you want them to “disappear”. I’d like people to look at it and wonder how you did it. 😉

[@andrewneilson227]

Really love this! Very unique and cool. One thing I recommend for the future is to use a tapered hand reamer to ream your holes slightly after drilling. It’ll give your pins more room to mushroom in the holes for a better hold. I did this on some peened brass bolsters and it was so strong, you couldn’t move them at all. I love peened handles and bolsters, wish more people did this.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Great tip! That actually makes a lot of sense.

[@dominicdwk]

How do you get a close tight fit between the guard and handle scales?

[@theriversexperience9383]

Just make a template out of paper and then follow those lines.

[@christophermiller19]

Dude, I am making the exact guard, except out of Copper. I didn’t know how I was going to attach it to the blade?? Your timing is impeccable ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@drdemers1970]

Working on my first guard fit up right now. Such an excellent video!! Thanks.

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Awesome!…looking forward to my TRE advent calendar!

[@pup76]

It's looking mean.... Nice work fella.

[@C.A.Newman]

I love where this thing is going. That's a cool way to do the guard! Looking forward to the month of vlogness!

[@TheRedhawke]

That blade is a beast and I really like the finish. That rough look just looks right.

[@manoelalves8395]

Faca top.. parabéns pelo trabalho!!!!

[@timjohle8876]

I likes it. What’s not to like.

[@trainwon5699]
