You made the bevel grinding look so easy. If anyone has tried it themselves, they know that it is one of the hardest parts of the process to make it clean and even on each side! Great work and loved the video.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks! Grinding bevels is probably my favorite part of knife making.

[@kerigregory7664]

Great biuld ❤

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@c0t1]

The longer video of the whole build is great! Thank you! Really nice work on this one.

[@charlesroman9163]

I usually like 20-30 minute videos. That said, you were telling a good story, and the extra time flew by with me enjoying every minute. Nothing wrong with an hour video if it is filled with great content. They can be boring if they are filled with long scenes of tedious processes (like grinding and sanding). In other words, the length of the video is immaterial if you fill it with great content. Beyond that, that knife turned out awesome, and have never seen someone used the same technique with the bevels.

[@davidscadlock5569]

Longer than 'normal', but not too long - just right for a detailed full build video!! Great looking knife. Thank you!!

[@marknoble843]

You are my new favorite knife makers. I love your creativity.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Mark, that means a lot!

[@merleswanger5749]

Wow that came out awesome , you make everything look so easy , love the way the handles came out , its nice to see one from start to finish even if it is long , I enjoy watching how you go through everything

[@nooneanon6491]

You need a B-Roll of your projects at the end. A series of shots in close up and shifting light with a neutral backdrop. Otherwise the audience doesn't feel like they've gotten a good look of the finished work.

[@C.A.Newman]

Cool seeing the process all in one go. Man, I seriously love that knife!

[@victorsykes5334]

[@kevinemery1177]

And everything else

[@ManiacInTheShed]

Watch it with when using a file jig because I've done two knifes using one and for two weeks now I'm in hell of a amount of pain in my thumb and fingers also pins and needles! I'm worried now I've done permanent nerve damage because it is not getting any better and I am struggling to use my right hand

[@travisbickle5282]

Ifeel you sounds like repetative strain injury, i had it in the past best thing to do is rest

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, my thumb and index finger were numb for about 24 hours. I'm switching to using a golf ball grip on my files moving forward.

[@JuanEnriquez-d7b]

Me justaria que traducirán este vídeo en español gracias

[@jacksin3323]

I do a 36.25° angle! 😂

[@TheShad0wW3av3r]

Awesome looking knife, my dude! But with a title like this..... no Crocodile Dundee clip (or your rendition of the line's deliverance)?? 🤨😉😁

[@royneder351]

More and more people say "whenever" when they just mean "when". I can't stop hearing it.

[@theriversexperience9383]

I tend to use a lot of words in repetition and the wrong way.

[@maziar1401]

درود. بسیار عالی 👌

[@MichaelHall-rf3pl]

I’m so glad I watched this. It explained a lot of questions I did have except putting a distal taper on. Do you have a video that explains how to do this?

[@derangedmetalworks9489]

A distal taper is a gradual taper of the flat section of the blade. Making the thickest part of the blade at the guard area, and the thinnest at the tip. It is easier to grind a distal taper before grinding the bevels. Essentially you are making the entire blade into a long gradual wedge shape. I hope that this has helped to explain a distal taper for you.

[@MichaelHall-rf3pl]

That does help thank you

[@jamesbrandon8520]

I must have walked out of the room when you introduced the wood what kind of wood is it? Bodark maybe?

[@theriversexperience9383]

The wood is Padauk.

[@amishplumber9850]

I would love to have the stencil for that knife

[@estebanalvarez6330]

Which do you consider are the basic tools needed for basic knife making. For someone starting.

[@jacobkamphus205]

A piece of old train track or block of steel for an anvil (find these on ebay for around 30-45$), a small butane forge (a Mr. Volcano forge is like 70$) or a hole in the ground with a hair dryer, an angle grinder (20$), and a 3$ rebar rod. Make yourself a pair of tongs. Then you can make knives :). You'll want a decent vice too at some point.

[@큰느티-f2j]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯🇰🇷

[@johnjude2685]

I'm hobby BlackSmith over 3 years and believe you're skilled at your anvil and your definitely loads of shills as a Knife Smith . Just asking any chance have you met or hear of a BlackSmith/Knife Smith named David Payne. of Arkansas?

[@MorakaneKnives]

What is that white material you glued the handke material to

[@theriversexperience9383]

That is a white G10 liner.

[@frankrizzo466]

How did you fill the space between the guard and the tang ?

[@theriversexperience9383]

What space are you referring to?

[@frankrizzo466]

Ohh.... nevermind I'm brain dead. I see what you did now. Great knife by the way👍

[@user-kk6tf2rq7s]

HI Well done for the great movies you make and the beautiful knives. What is called a cylinder polishing device as you work in the film at: 46:53 THANK YOU YEHUDA

[@theriversexperience9383]

It's called a spindle sander or a drum sander. Thanks for watching.

[@luislofran]

Me gustaría un cuchillo como este. Cuál es el costo?
