Sandy, you changed my life. You introduced me to the world of becoming a craftsman. Working with my hands has done what years of therapy and medications could not. Without the videos you have released on your channel my life would be much different. Perhaps it would not even be. I have been a long time fan. Finally, I just wanted to say thank you. I’d love to one day own your work but what I have already gotten from you is countless hours clarity.

You’ve been with me every step of the way on my knife making journey during the last couple of years and you don’t even know it. The info and tips you share on your processes will always be the most valuable aspect of the Jacklore story. Many thanks for that indeed.

A super artist and a craftsman. Attention to detail at every point.

Good morning Sandy. Keep your knives exclusive. Try to mention the customer on your vidios. Three knives a week is plenty. Each knife has a story. Your personal attention. Very few can own one. And then to be able to see the craftsmen at work on KZfaq as their knife is created really makes it special. Kindest regards Mike Rogers

Always love watching your videos. Very informative! Love how much care you put into these knives.

This was a great chat. Very cool watching how you make your scales and liners. There is a reason why your knives turn out with such quality products. Your knowledge is immense. Thanks for sharing. Tony

Thank you for sharing your amazing work . All the best from the Highlands.

Thanks for handing down some beautiful gemstones of knowledge in the chat, I aim to adopt some of them and adapt accordingly. All the best :)

Sandy, your approach combines science, attention to detail, patience, and old school craftsmanship. The results speak for themselves. Quality is far more important than quantity. Very best wishes, Mark.

Hi Sandy, You really needed that week's break with your mates. Nothing de-stresses us like a long walk with good company. Your knives are very satisfying in several ways, they are works of art to look at, they sound good as they fit back into the sheath and I imagine they even smell nice with that new leather. All the best from Cumbria, Pete

Great video and tips from a consummate professional! Many thanks!

Thanks Sandy. Love your work.

Absolutely beautiful knife and sheath, both built to endure a lifetime of hard use. Your stuff is definitely top shelf!

A very nice video sandy , the time and effort that go into making your knives and sheaths is quite extensive , but the end result is one of sheer admiration for the work you put in , 🇬🇧👍👌proud to be in the JACKLORE owners club 👌

Excellent video. Your process is brilliant.

You truly are a craftsman, sir. And your videos are a joy to watch. Cheers!

Great work Sandy, really sorry your not at the show, was hoping to catch up & would have loved a much sought after knife. Maybe next time. Keep up the great work & videos. Andy

I can really relate to so much you said, well spoken.

Great to watch Sandy, nice one 👌

Excellent as always 👍🏻

Thanks for another inspiring vid Sandy :-)

Thanks for the video. great stuff. Sorry to hear that you may not be at the knife show this year but fully understand your reasons for not going. Keep up you excellent work.

Aloha Sandy! Can’t begin to say how lucky I am to have two beautifully custom handcrafted knives from you that I will keep forever. Take care!

Looking good!

Thank's for showing how you wetform your sheaths, Sandy. My Jacklore has become quite loose, so here goes to my next project PEACE :-)

Enjoyed that cheers Sandy.

always nice to see you at it, nothing like watching some one who loves what he is doing . Also your videos are always instructional stay safe on the shop. Happy Trails from California.

Fascinating poses i know bog all about knife building but i had not realized so much time care and effort went into hand made knife manufacture, a pleasure to watch. Thank you. ps feeling a bit ashamed of my Opinel now haha.

I got so many great tips and tricks just from listening to and watching this video. Thank you so much.

Fantastic video, absolute pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Well done Sandy.

Always a joy to watch a master craftsman.

great video .... thanks

Thank you for sharing your process Sandy. 👍

A very interesting journey,thanks for bringing us along. :)

Fantastic to watch and listen to a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing Sandy👍

Everything you make is beautiful Sandy all the best to you and your family.

Hi mate, big fella here. That answers my question over the knife show! Thanks for the vid Sandy, I never bore of the knife maker's processes. Keep the balance btw...Best wishes.. Cam

Thanks for sharing what you do. Your knife look amazing. I love all the designs you do.

enjoyed it Sandy , , , beautiful craftsmanship : - )

Thanks so much Sandy. Really enjoyed the video. Beautiful craftsmanship my friend. Cheers from Florida.

Glad your up and running again another interesting vid atb scott

Hi Sandy! Always lovely to see your work. Glad to hear of your work coming to the United States. Hopefully one day I'll be able to find one myself.

Marvellous . One day I will be lucky. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video, good to see you back up and on. Never going to get a wasp... :P

Always love a Jacklore knifemaking vid. That's a time for a cuppa and a chill . Hope you're getting to Ardley you 'owld bugger'. Thinking about what you said about the knifeshow. It maybe woudn't be all about stock issues this year. Maybe missing a year just to accommodate the unavoidable adjustments might be a good idea as well .

Always good to see updates Sandy 73 de Steve N1AD

I take it the 'Old Speckled Hen' is for lubricating & quenching Sandy? Another 'Classic' .. atvb t ..

Sandy, I love your videos and I love the look of your knives and sheaths, but I must admit whilst I would love to own one of your knives I have all but given up trying to get one, for over 6 years now I have been trying to get one but I never seem to be on the website at the right time, in fact it was the impossibility of getting one of your knives that helped in getting me to make my own knives, nothing like yours but then it’s best not to copy. I still do hope to get one one day, for my son, but no hurry, right?

So it’s clank sound not ”snap” like I like to say 😁 nice sound of the knife sliding and locking into the wet molded sheath. Wish you great summer Sandy! Enjoy it as a Wiltshire man too! Osmo

Great to see your little finger wiggling nicely 👍 Do you have plans for treatment of the other two affected fingers, if you don't mind me asking? And it was great watching your leatherwork again, nearly everytime I show up somewhere with your knife, the sheath receives it's own share of admiration 😉

Beautiful knives once again. The detail you go to pays off. What weight of leather do you use?

I think you are wise in deciding not to go to the knife show this year Sandy. You can always sell every knife you can make so there's no merit in driving yourself into the ground to build up a stock for the show. Maybe every two or three years would be better. Best wishes to everyone. Remember me to Lorraine when you see her too. See you before too long, Noel

Nice work.. I noticed in this film, you glued the sheath together before stitch groving, and using pricking forks,, is there any reason why you changed the way you do it know ?, fantastic video all the same 👍

Could you tell me how to seal the inside of the sheath to keep the dye from rubbing off on the finished scale. I use Tan Kote on the inside but still get markings when I use Birdseye and Curly Maple scales. I really like your attention to detail on everything.

Great to see you plodding along. how's the allotment coming along ?

Sandy do you do your own heat treat and temper ? Or you send out.

Great video, how is your hand now?

Shame about the knife show. Maybe next year

Every one of your knives is a artwork and you use so mutch of yourself to make them, sow with or withoute a brain issue it is not any wrong or that you being tired! It is sow nice se your hand work on them! BarbroSweden
