[@michaelboutte3963]

This is a quote straight from the KING himself…. Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave ‘em all over everything you do. Keep up the awesome work my friend

[@richterknives]

Thanks bud!!!!

[@doodysdaggers]

I made it through the whole video finally! Thanks for doing this man, I learned a few more tricks. When Elvis danced on stage the ladies went crazy. 🤠

[@mipd1980_edc]

I'm a year late and a dollar short!! Thanks for all the information! You've definitely learned me something.

[@richterknives]

Thanks for watching!

[@amandatwospirits8028]

Elvis is the bomb. I have been dabbling with leather work, and I have learned so much from you tonight. Thank you.

[@richterknives]

Nice! Thanks for watching

[@J.O.VenturesOutdoors]

Oh my goodness, I love this video!! I'm geeking out over this stuff! I might try that glue.. I use wood glue, works ok but I'm looking for something different. Thanks Michael! Good job on this! Good enough for government work... LOL!

[@richterknives]

Thanks for watching 👍👍 that glue has worked for me very well. No clamps 🗜️

[@SouthernKnifeLife]

We can't go on together with suspicious minds. People laugh and sometimes make fun but Elvis was the man, very talented

[@richterknives]

The man for sure

[@Trumpy_Bear]

Watched the entire show ... no skipping around here, im too fat to skip 😂 My dad loved Elvis. Used to get him something with Elvis every Christmas. He's gone now, you never really realize how much you can miss someone till it happens. Take care brother

[@richterknives]

Thanks!!

[@seanw.8915]

Forest Gump teaching the King. Great video, keep up the good work🎸🎸🎸

[@MesserHQ]

@richterknives I've never made one like that. And I learned some new things. That tool you have for cutting the half circle is 🔥🔥 Thanks for the upload, i know it was a lot of work.👌👍

[@richterknives]

@@MesserHQ that tool is so helpful.

[@diverdave2179]

An hour well spent. Always wanted to learn how to saddle-stitch. Now to get some tools and thread. Thanks Richter!

[@Sanctified_Leather]

Yesssss it’s finally up The ”R” Premiere !!! 🎉 grabbing my popcorn 🍿 sitting 🪑 back and Learning leather work 😁👍

[@richterknives]

Thanks for watching, friend

[@JustinWinders]

Elvis holds the record for the most songs to chart in Billboard’s top 40. I lived in Memphis for 3 years, and while there I worked at Anna’s Steakhouse. The owner, Anna, went to school with Elvis. All of the walls were covered in pictures of Elvis, and we only played Elvis music in the restaurant. During the holidays, we only played Elvis Christmas music. I was only 15 when I started there as a busboy, but I quickly learned all of Elvis’s songs. Anna eventually sold the restaurant and is a tour guide at Graceland now. Pretty cool!

[@richterknives]

Wow! Great story. Thanks!

[@tonyboombotz]

thank you, always enjoy Ur videos. and just you in general. and Elvis was a southern gentleman who left us too soon. 😎

[@richterknives]

Thanks!

[@RandysWSG]

Great video. A lot of helpful tips in there. Thank you! No one better than the king!

[@mattdudleydrumming]

Took notes and now I’m ready. Thank you for making this video! 🙏

[@richterknives]

Nice!

[@radar468]

Great video! Hail to the King!

[@richterknives]

Thanks for watching! 👊😎

[@Aaronrjasso]

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process of how it’s made. I just received my email today that my peach seed jig mahogany sod buster jr is in the way!! 🙌🏼. The king’s middle name is my first name lol. My top 3 favorite Elvis songs have to be: Devil in disguise, Suspicious minds and Can’t help falling in love. I appreciate the content 🙏🏼. Keep up the great work!

[@richterknives]

Thanks what I’m talking bout ol son! Thanks for watching all the way through 👍

[@Aaronrjasso]

@@richterknives Yes sir! I was about to eat my dinner and saw that you posted a new vid. So I popped open my box combo from Raising Canes and tuned in lol

[@cheatobandito]

Like that slip you made for you brother. Cool dog stamp. My mom loves Elvis he is the man, so I love em too

[@richterknives]

Thanks 😁😁

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Beautifully done Richter Elvis has beautiful hair!!!! 😊

[@richterknives]

Thanks buddy!

[@blackbear9326]

Excellent video instruction my friend… you certainly did TCB as the King would say… you have one new subscriber from Bonnie Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@richterknives]

Thanks!!!

[@BishopZammit]

You have literally just inspired me to start leather working. Great video. Great teacher.

[@richterknives]

That’s what I’m talking bout! Let me know if you need help! 👍

[@floydmorrison2025]

Wow, this was fantastic, bro! I enjoyed every second of that! I use one of those metal half circle punches to shorten up leather wrist watch straps sometimes, in order to still retain the perfect circular strap end. And you're SOO right, man!...when I don't keep my holes straight...I can never get a date!!! 🤣🤣 Or make that a SECOND date hahaha!!! 🤣🤣

[@richterknives]

🤣 Don’t you hate when that happens?

[@mazeman01]

Elvis had a warm and kind heart.

[@richterknives]

Thanks!

[@traviswagner3656]

Thanks for the video. I have been making my own slips for 2 years now. Learned a couple things. Thanks again.

[@richterknives]

[@Sanctified_Leather]

Thank you Michael, this was an amazing video. You taught me a lot, I’ve always wondered how you’ve done ✅ it and it’s awesome watching you do this. And I got too see you do the infamous “R” I saw that stamp and Hand Made stamp and I was like years it’s on like Donkey 🦍 Kong !!! Seriously, Thank You 🙏 you did a long video so I am very appreciative and you really did teach me a lot . Watching this whole thing and straight too my saved list. ❤️👍🙏

[@richterknives]

Awesome!!! Love this

[@TraceyWatson-o8w]

He is the king

[@bostonbladereviews919]

Richter great video! Elvis is one of my favorite artists of all time! I’ve been to his home in Memphis Tennessee for a tour! The song “welcome to my world “ is the song they play while your on the bus entering the gates of Graceland! Here is a fun fact about Elvis.. a young girl with her parents told Elvis that she liked his ring , Elvis being the kind spirit that he was .. took off a VERY VERY expensive diamond ring and handed it to her and said now it’s yours!

[@richterknives]

Nice!

[@ronaldbrigdon7383]

I thank u for teaching everyone how to make a knife case it was very educated I like your video and would like to learn more

[@richterknives]

Thanks bud!

[@melchilds4935]

Not only was Elvis the most talented entertainer, but he was a caring humanitarian who secretly did a lot of things for common people.

[@richterknives]

👍

[@jimmurray5847]

Great video. Been thinking about trying my hand at leather work. Listened to Elvis growing up, definitely an icon.

[@richterknives]

Thanks for watching

[@ja7264]

I just saw Elvis the other day. Most people don't know this... but he's still alive. I swear!

[@richterknives]

👍

[@ColdHarborOP]

As far as Elvis goes, my friend, my wife is from Miami and we live in my home state of Virginia. For me, Christmas time means voices like Bing Crosby and Thurl Ravenscroft. But, for my wife, the sound of the season is Elvis' Blue Christmas.

[@richterknives]

[@_BigLife_]

I'm not a big fan of Elvis. Moma always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, well, you know. I do like the fact that Elvis surved in the military and his moves didn't suck. Great leather tutorial, i enjoyed it.

[@richterknives]

lol thanks man

Now I know how intricate you have to be for this type of work, plus some artistry, great job and thanks for the vid. Did you know when Elvis visited Nixon in the White House, He was wearing a gun, thats cool!

Very awesome dude

[@richterknives]

👍thanks

[@CarvingSteel]

Mr.Richter where is it that you suggest getting the kit from? Sounds like you say Evil Base or Evil Bays but I’m guessing it’s eBay haha. I appreciate you showing your process… really contemplating trying to make a slip myself since I just bought 2 Sodbuster Jrs.

[@richterknives]

eBay 🤣

[@ericasedc]

FINALLY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!

[@richterknives]

I know, right?!?! It took forever to upload

[@glodavhog]

beautiful slip.......blue swede shoes, Elvis is still the King

[@richterknives]

Yes he is

[@ElCapAddict]

Great video, thank you Richter 👍 Is 5-6oz leather the correct size? Do you have a preferred thread size? You mentioned 0.8mm… on Rocky Mountain they mostly have .6, .8, 1, and 1.2 size. 27:00 do you normally cut that thread grove into the back as well? I see-probably because you have to punch the holes through. “Because I like to party” 🤣 I actually live in the town where Elvis was born Thanks again Richter.

[@richterknives]

4-5oz is perfect. I don’t cut the groove I. The back because it’s hard to get just right when you poke the holes.

[@stevefinchum1867]

Great tutorial may give it a try

[@richterknives]

Go for it!

[@neverdulledc]

[@jianyuantan]

Thanks for sharing the tips! Did you make that leather holder (for sewing the slip) by yourself? Regardless appreciate it bud!

[@richterknives]

I bought it on eBay 👍

[@pauldarminio3456]

Great video, thank you. The only thing that would make it better was if I had a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich dressed with a touch of honey. Elvis knew his sandwiches.

Not sure how you’re gonna choose a winner for the slip but if I may…. I’d like to throw in a vote for @Aaronrjasso.

Gonna have my daughter scroll the comments and randomly put her finger on the winner as it’s scrolling. Whoever it stops on is gonna get it. I’m give a little time so folks can watch this and have a chance

How come you don't die the interior to match the exterior? Ann-Margret (!!!) and Tuesday Weld (!!!) used to visit Elvis at Graceland.

[@richterknives]

This was just a quick throw together slip for the video. It went over an hour so I didn’t really have time to let all that dye dry. That’s why I put a super thin coat on it to make it look rustic
