Thank you for all the time to take to make these videos. I have learnt so much about handle shaping and knifemaking from you.

I have been forging Camp/Bushcraft, and heavy use knives for just over 10 years. I just recently decided to take the plunge and start using the stock removal process to make more "refined and showy" type knifes. Obviously the fit and finish will need to be tighter with the SR method. Your videos have helped and given me an awfully lot of information in just a few hours. Thank you for what you do, how much you share and the way in which you share! I subscribed yesterday and look forwards to more of your insite!

I watched all 8 segments of this. Nearly killed the battery on my tablet. It was worth it! I've been making knives for over 10 years. I learned so much about proper fit and finish. Thank you so much.

The handle reminds me of the old Arab movies my father used to watch! I'm learning from you amazing stuff. I'm obsessed with blacksmithing! I even have a bucket load of fire bricks, steel, gas torches etc. I'm getting there! Lol.

Incredible series! Never have I learned so much in such a short period. This is beyond artistry but rather the dedicated work of a man in search of perfection. I would say you found it but I know you would disagree. I wouldn’t argue with the maker of a knife as exquisite as this. Thank you for sharing.

Two quick questions. One, what is the black backing you use on your sanding sticks? It looks a little mushy. Two, where do you get your scotchbrite material and what is it from? Thanks for the videos nick!

Nick Wheeler, I am a retired individual that thought he could sculpt his own handle for his bowie blade. I quickly realized that I don't have the skill set to do this. If I were to ship all my components (blade, tang, & wood for handle) could you possibly sculpt a handle for me? Naturally I would pay for your services, whatever you would request. Please let me know. Also I am in no hurry. I have been trying to get this doen for quite awhile now. Ruint a set of maple handles trying to to this. Since I ordered walnut pieces but I don't have the tools or equipment that you do. Thanks
