Very nicely done, Erick! Loving it so far!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nicely done. Can't wait to see the finished knife.

[@mcrich1978]

Yeah! I was just thinking that I liked that 2nd one back from the tip. looking proud 😊

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, that one made me want to go more aggressive with it lol.

[@TheOGfrenchy]

I think it’s great that you left in more footage for the people who aren’t concerned with a certain step. They can always fast forward…. me personally I am very glad you’re doing this whole series. I love to see somebody else’s take on a cool knife like this and their techniques on how to get it there! Great work brother! 👊

[@theriversexperience9383]

Heck yeah, thank you Frenchy!

[@NTNGMAN]

Thank you for taking the time to film this, looking simply amazing.

[@theriversexperience9383]

@@NTNGMAN thanks for watching!

[@buenoeduardo]

Incrível, ansiosamente aguardando o próximo vídeo dessa faca

[@HummingbirdKnives]

Another awesome build from Coco! 😂😂 Seriously, beautiful work!

[@theriversexperience9383]

🤣 Thank you!

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Hey E, have you thought about trying a file sander like the WEN 6307? I have one but I’ve never used it for knife making. It’s a good tool and I have to think it would save you some time on all the detail work…maybe. Just a thought. Great blade!

[@theriversexperience9383]

I thought about that, it would be easier that's for sure.

[@skjeggmennkniver-skjeggmen5600]

Wonderful build

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Chip!

[@Wildgoatknives]

Don’t worry mate, this isn’t TikTok. We have attention spans of more than 60sec. Long videos are good

[@theriversexperience9383]

I'm happy people are cool with the longer videos. This part was only about 2 minutes of the Challenge video that I made the first version of this knife in.

[@TheOGfrenchy]

lol

[@mcrich1978]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@bobbygervais6185]

I'd say for anyone who wants to learn put as much detail in the videos as you can. Anyone who wants a shorter video can just fast forward it pretty easily. Loved the video myself

[@Maxilla-d5s]

First

[@theriversexperience9383]

Heck Yeah!

[@MrJohney]

Third

[@theriversexperience9383]

Heck yeah again! 😁

[@billclancy4913]

You really should be clamping your blade down to the drill press when drilling to avoid the dreaded helicopter.

[@theriversexperience9383]

@@billclancy4913 Once I get a new drill press, I'll do that. The one I have has two things going for it. 1) The post that attaches the base to the drill body is so close to the drill bit that even if it tries to spin, the blade will just stop when it hits that post. 2) the drill press motor isn't that strong, so it doesn't really have the power to yank the blade out of hand.
