I have an idea for a folding multi tool survival pocket knife. That's why I'm watching your show. To pick up pointers on construction.

Walter I love it!! I recently got your shadow II. It's a great knife and you made the sheath minimal and perfectly functional. One of my favorite shapes is the warncliffe shape. It's easy to sharpen, fine tip for intricate work, seems to be easier to manufacture. I would love it if you would try and tackle that in your style and to see how you'd make it. Please give it a try

Good looking knife. I use my Tactix Armory Agent for front pocket carry. Just had to swap out the clip on the sheath

Before the knifemakers guild, a lot of knifemakers had "secret processes" often times these secret processes were wrong. They were detrimental to the custom knife business because a maker making inferior casts a shadow over other custom makers.

I have a random question for you about micarta. Have you ever made larger tool handles with it, or would you? I have hand planes that I need to make new handles for, and I plan on having functional tools for daily use; I was thinking about making a micarta rear tote (rear handle) that ends up being about 4.5” tall overall, approximately 1.5” wide at the widest possible point, and has angled profile that contains a 65 degree hole for mounting. Overall, this handle is S shaped and the bar runs through the middle of the S and most handles tend to be busted on all the older planes directly across that area where the force meets; I suspect it is from dropping them on concrete, because something has to give, and the wood grain on the rosewood handles sits parallel to the body of the plane. So, would micarta be up to the task? Advisable? Would it have to be custom made from scratch, or could you buy premade sheets and laminate them?

Micarta is available in block form. Several slabs can be epoxied together if you want. G10 is another option, it's heavier and may suit a plane for stability in the push strokes.
