This Blade Smith Gets Schooled...Again! - Making a Stag-Handled Knife

[@emesser7087]

The one thing Ill use from this is the trick with the thinner g10 swapping to a thicker one that's cool!

[@MrZetor]

Yeah, this was new to me as well. Great idea!

[@Rsama60]

Fully agree. But this is a centuries old technique used by cabinet makers to makes joints without glue. It’s called draw boring.

I have followed your channel / your videos for ages.

Wow! Pops looks amazing!! Kind of a bummer they're 44 hours drive away from me...

[@MrZetor]

Only 7556km (4695mi) from my haciéndà, 'as the crow flies' even... :(

[@johnwoodcock6468]

Looked amazing

I have redone all my homes plumbing by learning from KZbin videos and having books on home repair and plumbing. Just because you are an expert does not mean others are not able to learn and master your field of expertise if they choose to do so.

In the future I will definitely use the technique he used for aligning the handle and pin hole, using the drill press/drill press vice combo. That was one of those light bulb moments for me.

I was just asking myself if you will make a viewerknife video this year?

[@JosephDetrick]

I want to know where you can get one of those texturing hammers… that beats using a foredom and tumbling.

For someone thats made 3200 knives, he doesn't know his blade shapes! He said he'll make a "trailing point" knife, but that's NOT what he made! His blade design is closer to a straight - back hunter knife! A trailing point blade rises upward towards the point! But, I really liked the way it turned out! 🤔👍

[@Terabell]

if you do it again can you put a mic on him was so hard to hear

[@awc91]

i stopped using a pin when i attempted to reclaim a handle i had made on an early knife and the antler broke before the epoxy.

[@danhandke5012]

👍💪👏👍

[@BlackRaven-w4e]

Very nice knife and excellent tutorial from both of you although the sound was... well, bad.😊

[@MichaelWallace-g9r]

Cant understand why anyone does not use a knife grinding jig. So precise. Takes all the guess work out of the process

[@Babymoonblades]

Did Dirk come in and let you know what all you were doing wrong?
