Make your own Bushcraft and Survival Knife

[@irritablearchitect]

Sepp, Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. It was a pleasure to see such fine craftsmanship from men who care to make a tool that will last them for the rest of their lives. Vielen Dank.

[@antpop1]

There is something special about making things with your own, two hands. Those knives are more unique than any knife you can buy in the store! Wonderful video Sepp! -Reijo

[@stevenparsons4464]

Craftsmanship is a language unto its self. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on U tube to date. This concept of cooperation truly needs to be organized in America. Great video and very nice cutlery.

+Steven Parsons Thank you so very much Steven! All the best, Sepp

Craftsmanship! So that is how it is done...Outstanding video! I am impressed at all the manufacturing steps. I never knew how complex the process is. Well done lads!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Vielen lieben Dank Markus, freut mich sehr wenn Dir die Sachen zusagen. Schönes Wochenende, Sepp

[@Waldhandwerk]

@nerdiq Vielen Dank, lieber Sebastian, war große Klasse mit Dir und Euch! Hoffentlich auf bald, Sepp

[@teddvidler6830]

An excellant video showing knife making. I made a hunting knife in 1968 and my son now uses it deer hunting. The satisfaction of having it turn out well is wonderful and all of the class should be immensely proud of the fine knives they made.

[@Waldhandwerk]

+Tedd Vidler Thank you so very much Tedd! ...yes something to pass along. All the best, Sepp

[@lastnightschef]

Zwei tolle Tage, tolle Leute, wunderschöne Messer, ich freuhe mich auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen :) Liebe Grüße Sebastian

[@stepitup5409]

Don't understand German but I always enjoy you enthusiasm! I watch your videos and wish I was there.

[@Waldhandwerk]

stepitup Thank you so much my friend, ...very kind and you would be welcome! Take care, Sepp

[@stevenmc56]

Been working metal all my days these guys know what they are doing !!! Nice shop setup also !

[@Waldhandwerk]

Thank you so very much Steve! Glad you liked the stuff. All the best Mate.

[@stevenmc56]

keep your powder dry

[@kidenu]

Wow, your wood scales came out beautiful. Great job I can't wait to see the knife in action.

[@SpartanJohns]

Habe es den Mike auch gesagt. Die Messer sehen so gut aus. Ich haette gedacht dar ein Messermacher nicht nur anleitung gegeben ha sondern sie selber gemacht hat. Ihr Jungs habt echt super tolle Arbeit geleistet. Danke fuers zeigen Sepp. Da kann ich nur WOW sagen!

[@Waldhandwerk]

@dcordry Hi Dee, my good friend, thanks a lot, glad you had fun with us! ...the favorite part, ...it was my first knifemaking, ...so everything was very interesting, ...maybe the hardening process, the time the blades get out of the oven ; ) It was a great workshop. If we ever make a course, build your own multitool, we need You a teacher, haha. Happy Day, Sepp

[@Johann-4354]

As a sheet metal man who worked on jet fighter planes I can appreciate all the work that went into shaping your metal and wood. Many hours and blisters later you were rewarded with a beautiful tool. That was good to watch Sepp. Much thanks.

[@Waldhandwerk]

rainbowhiker Thank you so very much John. All the best and Happy Easter my friend.

[@Knight8365]

That is a very beautiful knife Sepp. You've inspired me to look for knife making courses near me. Thanks for showing us this.

[@NorthSurvival]

The Ray Mears clone knife became really nice, how much would it cost to buy one, I'm just curious, and how long time did it take to make the knife. I have to say it again that just love that Ray Mears clone knife, it became super nice. NorthSurvival

[@RDPproject]

As I said to Mike....I wish I had all that equipment to make knives with. You my friend, now have a better understanding of why I love to make knives now.

[@skookum_87]

Well done Sepp. You turned out a really nice looking Knife.

[@TheOneLordApraxia]

Very fine craftsmanship in every blade shown, simply superb!

[@Waldhandwerk]

+TheOneLordApraxia Thank you so much! Best wishes, Sepp

[@mynineridesshotgun]

Great work, Sepp! A beautiful knife and wonderful memories - both which should last a lifetime.

[@Waldhandwerk]

@knivesandstuff Thank you so much, Kyley, a honor to hear this from You! ...we had much fun in the cold workshop ; ) Have a fine Day, Sepp

[@Thurston86]

Wow! Beautiful craftsmanship guys very cool to watch you all go through the process of creating some awesome knives !!!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Nic & Andy Carpenter Thank you so much. All the best, Sepp

[@Waldhandwerk]

@wawhiker Thank you so much for your kind comment, my good friend! ...yes, we have much fun with our new cutting tools ; )) All the best, Sepp

[@717sport]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !! My favorite is the yellow handled one but all are very nice.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Many thanks for watching, I/we are glad you like the knives. ATB Sepp

[@wood2hoz4]

Love all your knifes, specially both black handle ones!!

[@Waldhandwerk]

wood2hoz4 Thank you very much!

[@Imightberiding]

I can tell by all the smiles that it would be a very satisfying sense of accomplishment & a joy to own & use a knife that one made for oneself. Nice work.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Thanks again ;)

[@busycando]

WOW!!! what a great course....all those nice tools and shop,well done guys.

[@elgadro]

Sehr schöner Film. Sehr schöne Messer. Vielen Dank, das ihr uns dank yt an dem Kurs habt teilnehmen lassen! LG Henry

[@schlooonginator]

Just amazing to watch! I wonder, if it would be possible to design a knife but rather than a typical full tang, one would make it smaller but still maintain the shape more like a full tang rather than a stick, and use prepreg carbon fiber cloth, wrapping around the tang in the general shape of the tang / the handle shape you want, then compacting it somehow, perhaps a vice, then when cured sanding to final shape? The end product being similar to Mad Dogs much revered handle. I think thicker handles are superior to the vast majority of knives, like the strength associated with full tang but think a full wrap could offer better insulation and grip properties. It's just that I never heard of anyone doing this yet it doesn't seem that unusual.

[@Waldhandwerk]

schlooonginator Many thanks. Yes sounds good, maybe a idea for the many knife makers here on YT. Take care, Sepp

[@holeinmysox99]

Very interesting to see just what all goes into making a beautiful and functional knife.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Many thanks! All the best, Sepp

Five beautiful knives. Thanks for the video!

[@one-WildCard]

wow!! That was awesome! You guys made your own custom knives. They are gorgeous and look like amazing quality to. I would love to do that. Definitely something you keep forever. Fantastic job! Cheers

[@Waldhandwerk]

Thank you so very much Paul. Best wishes, Sepp

[@azvedicgurukul]

These are all very heavy duty bushcraft and hunting style knives. Many have very unique blade geometries that I haven't seen before. They are unique designs. Very precise hardening and oil quenching for the carbon and stainless blades. The handle materials are all beautiful. The light burl wood, dark cocobolo and antler handle scales are amazing.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Thank you very much! And all, as far as i know still in use ;) Take care, Sepp

[@NWBushman]

Nice job you guys! They all look beautiful! Looking forward to seeing them in action!

[@koezi3361]

[@docsimonson]

You all made such excellent knives! I am impressed, and to be truthful, just a bit envious. I know. That is not a good thing to be, but those are beautiful blades that you have crafted!

[@zednotzee7]

That looked like a lot of fun. And you all ended up with some very cool knives that will always be special for you as well. Plus you'll have the pleasure when someone asks you where you got that knife from, of saying that you made it yourself. Excellent stuff !

[@mattmcmaniac]

Stunning blades, beautiful job!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Thank you very much, that sounds cool and good. Merry Christmas, Sepp

[@Waldhandwerk]

[@knivesandstuff]

Vielen Dank lieber Max!

[@dcordry]

SEPP, the knife you made is excellent! Watching you guys at work on those knives was really a lot of fun. What a learning experience that must have been! What was your favorite part of the process?
