Beautiful design. Love the blade shape. The choil and thumbrest combo especially.

[@zeemanknives]

[@chaderosiers]

Great video! I cannot believe I didn’t find this video a long time ago

[@zeemanknives]

Awesome, thank you for watching. Glad you found it useful!

[@TheGarner77]

Stunning as always.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@ricallen7273]

Very nicely done, looks great

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@philochristos]

Your plunge lines look great.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you...yes, the round file technique does help with beautiful plunge lines. It takes a little more time than to just grind it in, but the end results are so much better.

[@jeffaschbacher3334]

Well done bro, the handle came out awesome. The blade as Well.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching. Yes, I am quite happy with the end results...the patterned G10 always works well. Keep well!

[@ericmoore2236]

Great work Sir 👍 I really like your voice over encouragement thank you.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching Sir...well I'm glad my encouragement help you somewhat. :) Always feel a bit strange to listen to my own voice recordings...happy knife making!

[@wadesaunders583]

Nice work!

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you!

[@NjordArtisan]

Such a great video and a beautiful knife. Thanks a lot for making this video!

A really wonderful job and the result is more than impressive. Im sure...everyone would like to have a knife like this. Great m8.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for the kind words, and for watching. Yes, it really is a useful little knife to have with you. Keep well!

I love it

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching! Glad you like it. Keep well!

[@josephmusitz4903]

Amazing video. Great filming, audio and explanation. I'm gonna check out your chanel but want to ask if you ever made a video of a basic setup of knife making and all the tools you need.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching Joseph. Yes the channel has evolved a bit since the first video I produced. I suppose its a ever changing project. I am currently filming a beginners series where only basic tools are used to make a knife and I explain my setup. All the best!

[@brunogoehner3078]

Very beautyfull!! 😮👍

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching! Happy you like it!

[@elderyoung416]

P.S. First time I have seen a round file for the plunge lines. I will try that too.

[@zeemanknives]

Yes, round files work very nicely for perfect plunge lines...it takes a bit of practice to get the technique right, but once there, plunge lines will never be a problem again.

[@TheFrancisco0308]

Ótimo vídeo,uma verdadeira aula de como se fazer um knife 👍👋👋👋👋👋👊👊🇧🇷

[@zeemanknives]

Obrigado por assistir. Fico feliz que você possa aprender com isso!

[@Rodrigues-xg3ln]

Good night. Amazing beautiful made Step by step. I have One question , can we use the kitchen woven?

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you. Your kitchen oven will work for tempering after the hardening process...as that usually happens at 180 degrees Celsius. For the hardening heat treatment, you will need something that generates a lot more heat like a forge or kiln, as the temps you work with can range from about 800-1000 degrees Celsius depending on what steel you use.

[@Rodrigues-xg3ln]

@@zeemanknives ok. Great explanation. If you now, you could teach and could you show a tipes of table of the diferentes tipes of steal whith the temperatures of 800 to 1000 This ill help a lot. Thaís One more time for eversing, you are realy a inspiration to as. amatores.and drimers

[@xklocu1812]

It's not nice, it's outstanding

[@keggindaniels3398]

is there a PDF of this knife so i can try and make it?

[@suprionosupriono4042]

Wow keren,.hai bro,ini pisau di pake buat apa ya,.?

[@zeemanknives]

Hai, ini adalah pisau yang Anda bawa, bukan pisau saku. Beberapa orang membawanya untuk pertahanan diri, yang lain membawa untuk keperluan kegunaannya. Ini melakukan pekerjaan yang sama seperti pisau saku, hanya saja lebih keras karena pisau tetap.

[@suprionosupriono4042]

@@zeemanknives Terimakasih

[@geraldstamour1312]

The scales on the knife look somewhat like urban camo.

[@zeemanknives]

Yes, it does now that you mention it.

[@triseptinainggolan3318]

Itso cool..

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you!

[@billruzinsky6237]

Beautiful work and design. What epoxy are you using? I like how viscous it was. Looks easier to handle than the kind I use. Thanks for sharing.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching. I use a product called "Epidermix 372". Its a slow curing epoxy with a cream consistency. It does not run at all which I like about it.

[@trainwon5699]

What grit do you take the spine up to? Awesome job thanks

[@zeemanknives]

Hi Don, thanks for watching. Depending on what the knife is used will be the deciding factor. For work knives like the EDC, typically up 600 grit.

[@elderyoung416]

I like your scale work so much that I will try it for myself. Your work is out standing, thank you for sharing! Subbed, dinged and headed to check out Henk's channel too.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. Glad you learned from the video. Thank you for subscribing as well. Keep well and happy knife making!

[@mikenorris6769]

Do you use adequate dust protection??

[@zeemanknives]

I always wear a respirator and glasses when grinding.

[@knifecsicso3797]

Szuper🔪👍👍👍🍺

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you!

[@יהודהדניאלי-ר4ה]

Very nice. Where can you buy such scales?

[@zeemanknives]

Best place is to find a supplier who sells knife making tools and materials.

[@WorkroomBlackUnicorn]

Awesome job. I'm also doing handmade. ^^))

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you. Awesome, all the best with your knife building journey!

[@rynoalberts813]

Where do you buy your steel in sa? Great videos sir.

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you Ryno. I buy most my materials at Zees Knife supplies. He's got a channel on here as well. He stocks everything you need. Let ke know if you need contact details.

[@rynoalberts813]

thanks for getting back to me sir. Keep up the good work.

[@johanstoltz3263]

Baie mooi mes, daai swart en wit lyk werklik mooi. Waar koop jy jou materiaal aan?

[@zeemanknives]

Dankie Johan. Ja die wit en swart G10 werk baie goed. Ek koop my materiaal by Zee's Knife supplies. Laat weet as jy kontak besonderhede nodig het

[@anykey1608]

Ручка получилась колкой. И как пользоваться им каждый день без ножен??

[@zeemanknives]

Ручка - это личное предпочтение. Вы можете делать все, что хотите, со своими собственными ножами. Видео с ножнами в пути ... Сейчас я занимаюсь монтажом. Спасибо за просмотр. Хорошо держаться!

[@bakkerboy665]

What can this be used for?

[@zeemanknives]

Same functionality as a folding knife, only this is fixed blade, which is more robust than a folder...works for most cutting tasks really.

[@williamknifeman69]

Hoeveel sal jy vra vir so edc mes en is dit 5160 of stainless ?

[@zeemanknives]

Hello Janu, kontak my op [e-mail] om te bespreek. Dankie

[@ВладимирОкшин-з9ж]

It seemed to me, or is this knife based on the "executioner" knife?

[@zeemanknives]

Thank you for watching...I am sorry, I don't know what the "executioner knife" looks like, so it was not based on it's design.

[@bukscoetzer]

Daar is soo baie fantastiese informasie in daai video, sal graag jou wil DM indien moontlik, het n paar vrae.Dankie,

[@zeemanknives]

Hello Buks, jy is welkom om my te mail by [e-mail]

[@baddoopey]

That’s a bad name to have here in Europe as a brand where it the name of a chain of cheap underwear chain.

[@zeemanknives]

Well then it is a good thing that I am not in Europe...I am from Dutch descent, and I know which brand you are referring to. Zeeman is my family surname, and my work is far from cheap underwear.
