Just watched this for the third time now going out to the shop to go for it wish me luck 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@theofulk5636]

Very HANDSOME ! And THEN SOME ! nice work.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@arlienorwood]

I've had a bushcraft knife done and scales ready but have been putting off in fear of messing up my first coke bottle handle. Watched your video and took the plunge! Turned out awesome. Thanks for the good tutorial.

[@Ruger44Redhawk]

I'm thinking about doing something similar to my Ontario Tak 1 micarta scales. Maybe not a coke bottle shape, but more of a Cutco steak knife handle shape. I've done this before to a RD7 micarta scales all by hand with different sandpaper and it turned out well. Took some time, but got it done. Not having power tools or sanders or a shop is just something you have to deal with.

[@wat5213]

omg the buffing wheel on the drill press is GENIUS. 100% doing that

[@pricetag30]

Dude you killed it!Thank you for taking the time to show how to shape the handle!

[@RobFlesher]

Beautiful knife!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank You!

[@idwolverine1867]

Phenomenal handle! 🤩 Turned out awesome.

[@waynesmith3318]

Thanks for the awsome lesson.

[@chadfeathers3001]

So glad I watched this. I've been wondering how I'd like to finish my knife handle. Nice work!

[@davidscadlock5569]

Just watched for the umteenth time and am working on coke bottle handle for Damascus knife!! Will post on Facebook when done.

[@ZackofAllTrades87]

Thanks Eric! This is the type of video I subscribed for and thoroughly enjoy. I do enjoy the others as well... but I love learning.

[@roger9636]

Knife turned out awesome as expected pure craftsmanship as always and the step by step shaping of the handles was very helpful and appreciated thanks .

[@giuliopelliccia6938]

REALLY USEFULLY!!! Thans so much!!

[@brucebutcher9636]

WOW!!I I have done a lot of these but this is the best tutorial that I have seen, Thanks again for all the work!

[@24gary01]

that chopper is a real beauty - Corey, these are amazing handlescales - well done guys.

[@glenpaul3606]

Absolutely beautiful knife. Love how you did the scales with coke bottle shape. Amazing worksmanship. Think I will try this one the new knife I'm making.

[@chrisroosendaal4169]

Such a handy tutorial, really simplified and I feel like you covered all bases really well! Looks like a really good knife

[@billclancy4913]

Great instructional video. Definitely helped me to do better coke bottle handle by doing the top taper first.

[@j.r.hewitt3753]

That looks amazing! Great job! Stay safe!

[@billclancy4913]

Having a rotating knife vise makes the hand sanding much easier and faster.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, that's for sure.

[@diego.castg1409]

Congratulations Erick for the final result, it was really amazing!

[@jackorlando2668]

Great video awesome instruction and absolutely magnificent knife

[@bushcraftoregon]

Great job all around and gorgeous scales!

[@7784046]

Gorgeous! Nice job man!

[@eldanno5970]

Great video

[@theriversexperience9383]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jonathanjansen6838]

Awesome video can’t wait to try it!

[@markc5959]

Beautiful work man great job!!!

[@Aleeknives]

Great work! That buffer setup is unique! Love that way that chopper turned out! I also wanted to say it was cool to hear your back story yesterday! I was listening to it while driving so I couldn't comment. A+ man

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Man! I don't have the room at the moment for a bench buffer, so I had to get creative.

[@brysonalden5414]

I've been staring at a knife I thought I'd finished, but I hate the handle, it's just not as comfortable in my hand as I want. Watched this again, and will be putting my 8" wheel on this afternoon! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@xthemadplumberx7110]

The knife turned out awesome and an informative video I may reference in the future also.

[@lostmypicks]

Oh boy! That looks amazing. You can be sure I'll be watching and sanding and watching and sanding just to get it right. I've never made anything with a palm swell of sorts. Excellent video, thank you. New subscriber

[@sudo_nym]

That’s a sweeet knife right there. 🇬🇧🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻🇺🇸

[@jacoba7293]

Make it a Pepsi bottle im all in 👍

[@RedBeardOps]

Hell of a good looking handle!

[@damndale7279]

Damn fine looking knife. Those scales are gorgeous!

[@ZackofAllTrades87]

I was searching for a video like this like 2 days ago...haha! Perfect thanks!!

[@wellingtonbarbossa1587]

Incredible works💪👊👏🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@mikejeffers6371]

Coke bottle handle very cool

[@Stillpoint23]

That there is one helluva a knife!

[@trainwon5699]

Awesome job thanks

[@KC-eg8ok]

Really like the knife bro, I was a little skeptical on the girth of the handle at first but it looks awesome and looks like it would be comfortable to hold.

[@the_taranator]

I keep coming back and watching this video because I want to make one but I'm slightly afraid of messing it up. Just got to try these things though right? Love that handle. The shape is beautiful from every angle. Love it. Love it. Love it.

[@nunyaargo9629]

Very sexy! Those scales look like flames and really makes the whole knife pop! Excellent job, brother! Love it!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@johnlangrehr]

I dont have a contact wheel, or a spindle sander...i do have a small wheel set and scalloped belts....which may work

[@danielsmith5023]

The butt end looks like a pistol grip , actually that timber would make beautiful pistol grips

[@kengoodwin8972]

Nice very informative

[@billnewman8261]

That is nice.

[@kevlyn1963]

It would be cool to see you make a leather sheath for it, amazing by the way, great job.

[@Kevcat1963]

W Hey - it looks beautiful- what material are the scales made of. Thanks

[@larsolivan406]

Wicked!

[@PickinPins]

older video but loved it bro.. Love that shape for sure. New at knife making and enjoy your vids! Subbed! 👍

[@theriversexperience9383]

I appreciate the support! Thank you.

[@NRiggiKnives]

Super attractive look overall on this

[@nine11kid]

That turned out pretty nice. What buffing wheel do you use?

[@Alpha-move]

Man, those are gorgeous scales. I would of liked to see a decent Hamon to match the quality of the scales. Maybe even a design or specialized finish on the blade as well.

[@flyingvansrv14a24]

What size spacers and scales did you use?

[@paulesterline5714]

Where did you get those scales? I see it is some kind of dyed burl, but what wood and what color is that? Great knife! Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@theriversexperience9383]

I got them from Cory Scott, however it seems as though his etsy page no longer has any merchandise. I will continue to shout out any makers whose handle material I use any future builds.

[@christopherbiggs4623]

What type of wood did you use for the scales? If you mentioned it I missed it.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Its a Stabilized Australian Burl from Corey Scott, His like is in the description.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

How thick is the stock you used for this knife? It looks like 0.25" to me. It's super thick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, .25" thick.

[@user-hj4yx3fv2g]

0:20 Where did you get the drawings of the knives? Every time I look at your weighty knives, my eyes are simply happy ??? Can you send a link? thanks sir!

[@theriversexperience9383]

I draw all of them myself. The cut outs on the wall are just my drawings put onto wood template material.

[@user-hj4yx3fv2g]

@@theriversexperience9383 Thanks for the answer. We are waiting for new videos from such a good master!

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

What is the hole in the ricasso of the knife for?

[@theriversexperience9383]

It's primarily for looks.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Beautiful handle! I like how you drew lines on the handle to help you shape it in the coke bottle shape. I need to try that.

[@joaorosapereira7278]

🇧🇷

[@jimcraig7783]

What kind of wood?

[@rickpoteet371]

What contact wheel is that, size?, maker

[@theriversexperience9383]

It's an 8" wheel from Beaumont Metal Works.

[@dominicdwk]

How thick is the metal in this build?

[@theriversexperience9383]

It was 1/4" thick.

[@dominicdwk]

@@theriversexperience9383 that’s what I thhought. I have a billet of 52100 and 80CRV2 that thick and 2.5 in wide. I’m trying to think of a blade to make that big. 24 in length.

[@jimmynoname336]

Great video you are an excellent instructor I learned so much from your videos

[@marklacombe3802]

What type of material is the handle? You😊

[@theriversexperience9383]

It was a Stabilized Burl Wood handle.

[@marklacombe3802]

That was too cool I really enjoyed this video. You did an awesome job. What handle material is the that?

[@davidscadlock5569]

FReeeeking nice!!!! Love those scales!!
