Love what you did with the wire wheel, highlighting the grain of the wood like that. Well done!

Really nice details you put into your knives! I love the handle work and the pattern you got with your mustard patina

Best knife making video out there! Quick and simple. Thanks

Amazing! Just what I was looking for. Making a knife these days, and the metal work is done. Will have to make a trek to the hardware store tomorrow for pins and epoxy tomorrow!

Thanks for making this video. I needed info on how to profile the top of the scales without gouging the actual blade. The 4:00 minute mark educated me. Thanks!!!

Love the raised grain effect. Very cool.

Forged In Fire brought me here.

Awesome, this is showing me how to put custom handles on my schrade schf 56l! Love the obvious determination in this, not many people put their heart into what they do. 11/10 will definitely watch again.

Great video! Nice work on the blade and building those handles!

Music is a little (a lot) distracting, and you might have added value by explaining the fine points of what you were doing. For example, what material did you use for the metal pins" that pierce the knife? Did you deliberately cut the handle a bit over-sized to allow for sanding and shaping? Did you flatten the ends of the pins on your vise or just hammer them through a tight hole?

One of the rare uses for mustard !!😂

Good video, the wire wheel really gives a hunting knife the outdoor look, right out of the box! !! !!!

Thanks for sharing this with us Bro!

Very nice craftsmanship. Beautiful patina. Well done sir. Keep em coming. It's always interesting to see knife making vids. Cheers

Awesome as usual dude.

Micarta is a fancy name for rags or paper glued together. But that doesn't diminish its quality in any way, in fact, it's an amazingly good material for knife handles. A hundred years ago, it was called "phenolic board" and it was used for nearly anything that needed to look good and could be shaped into any form. It was amazingly durable as well, even making up machinery gears in many gases, as they ran more quietly and didn't need lubrication.

Anyone notice how awesome and apt the soundtrack is?

very nice my friend

thank you!

Love your work. Did you use stabilized wood for the handle or was it stuff that you just had drying in your shop? I'm about to start handles for different knife blades and want to do it right.

Cool mustard trick. Why did you grind after doing all that standing? Wouldn't that ruin the smoothness around where the pins are?

Nice

Thanks Jake. I think some people go around KZfaq disliking video's for the heck of it. I appreciate your work.

Nice work. So you definitely recommend French's yellow mustard? Have you found it gives better results than value brand mustards? Have you experimented with dijon- or any topshelf mustards, such as Grey Poupon?

Very nice job! What time of glue is that?

What is the tool called that make the thumb area on top of the blade just outside the handle?

What kind of rod did you use to make the pins for the handle Sir

Mustard patina looks silly and amateurish. Otherwise, very nice knife, and very informative video.

I think all knifemakers have the same hands. cut up and dirty as hell. All will agree, knifemaking is a great time tho!! awesome video buddy!!

Where do you get the brass rod and wood. How do get the steel for the knives?

hi' thank's alot for the video. i see you used a tung oil. what do you think on using a denish oil or Linseed oil ?? thank's !

What kind of connecting rod you use in here, steel?

Did you just use a wirewheel at around 9:33 to get the texture on the handle?

thanks

What glue do you use?

instructions unclear mustard is now inside my nostrils

The mustard mark doesn’t rub off?

Repairing My grandad old knife he brought from Japan from ww2 brought me here

if you will explain it will be perfect video

What type of wheel was on that bench grinder at 4:02 ?

What type of pins or bolts did you use? By the way, I much prefer ketchup.

What’s that black stuff u use to glue it

Do you still make custom handles?

What are the metal things called? The little stick things

Bad cut on your finga!do wear safety glasses or a face shield? A friend lost one eye while cleaning a spark plug, a wire broke off the wire wheel , deep into his eye. How much for a handle like that for a 6 " knife? Great job.

Wait how did you cut out the handle

What finish is that on the handle

Dang it I'm lacking of all tools for it.. All I have is an electric stone grinder and everything else must be done by hand. I have made like 4 or 5 knifes and all of them had quite stupid looking handles, simply because it's not comfortable to do all those small details and curves by hand. Nice video tho. Now I'm planning on doing one knife as a gift and it HAS to be nice, making the blade itself is not the problem, but the handle is.. I have good wooden material for it, but I'm afraid that it may not come out as it should and it will look bad.

nice knife , me i ask u sir what type of oil u put in handle knife for protection and i hear that the engine car oil is good for wood handle is that right ? and how much time we should let the handle in oil ? and thx for the video

what is the knife in 9:57 ?

Still dont fully understand the point of the mustard... but hey whatever the customer wants i guess

Is that just brass dowel that you're using as the pins?

Why did you put mustard on it?!?

I just made my first knife lol

How are those “nails” called? At 3:52

Can you just make me a handle haha

Pity the video creator completely ignores all comments. Would have been a nice learning experience. Ah well, thanks for sharing the process anyway.

Why the mustard???

What does the mustard do?

what camera do you use??

Sorry,, I don't understand,, if the surface of the scales, and the tang, are flat and smooth, and the whole assembly is clamped tight, forcing out nearly all of the glue, surely you're left with a microscopic layer of glue, which can't be very strong, ??.. I must be missing something,, !!

Why mustard lol?

I finished my knife yesterday it's a 4 inch slip joint with m390 steel hoping it can become somewhat of a family heirloom, I had no experience in forging besides it being a trade my ancestors practiced and were known for metal works(Romany) the knifes got a nice half stop and solid flip action,it is one hand opening but its main purpose is to be able to take alota damage in my pocket amongs my keys and wateva else is in there and peel apples and stuff I used m390 due to its strength I hand carved my handle for the most part and lightly smoothed it out to still give it that natural wood grainy look, with abit of lacquer and it looked all good it's just I'm not to satisfied with the handle material so I'll keep it on till I find something I feel more comfortable with but it was my first decent knife I've made I've forged alota knives but given up half way everytime this knife however I've been forging since June 2020 and it's basically the beginning of October so I took my time yes but it came out pretty much fantastic and I love watching forged in fire you learn a lot I also follow the judges on their private social media pages amongs others

Hyphestus brought me! 🐈 Hepatitis....Fuachi couldn't figure it out! Master! wikipedia said : Hephaestus To many letters for -SCIENCE

My works too. Used WoodPrix handbooks and build it with no problems.

Mustard... Nice... Yep definitely not disgusted...

If you like woodworking plans, you'll love woodprix plans. Get inspired by the endless possibilities of furniture plans and other buildable wood projects, both for indoor and outdoor.

w lol

Totally digging the porn music............

I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.

What is Frenchs Yellow,,,,looks like mustard,,,we are not all in America..

The music killed the video fo me.

Good info...but why do all you uTubers feel a need to add monotonous, irritating music--and I use that term loosely--to your videos...?

I’ll never know, couldn’t get past any more than a minute with that distracting music…

thanks for skipping like half the steps and not showing how you do it ,0/10.
