Yes,we must be grateful

Great idea!

Me too

Chase Garrett Me three. This is really great content from the channel, and why I am a subscriber.

Amr Elsheikh or failing that your Patreons will

Sam Harper Some knife makers heat treat and temper before doing the bevels. A chiesel grind would absolutly benefit from that technique.

They're usually done with an iron core so they when the blades inevitably warp, they just hammer it back to flat. Walter demonstrates this in his sushi knife video.

Absolutely not true. Aluminum is soft and will clog the flutes. It needs lubrication. Even WD40 works

In different trades, you'll find different answers to that questions. The general notion is that soldering is a low temperature operation (around 500F) and brazing is a higher temperature operation (typically above 900 F). In both cases, however, you're using a second (generally) dissimilar metal with a lower melting temp to join to other pieces of metal with a higher melting point, whereas welding involves actually melting the pieces which are being joined.

Walter, I was arguing semantics. Is attaching 2 pieces of brass, using brass filler, welding or brazing? I'm saying both. :D steve

Considering the amount of quality tools and machines that he has, I'm sure he has the collets.

I am sure you can make it with hand tools and it would work fine. Now how many times it takes you to get it right who knows. I love this channel but wish he would just use tools everyone had available. It’s easy if you have expensive tools but not everyone has them.

Mark Clark He explained how to do it with common tools, if you had the fancy tools you would use them too. It doesn't take a genius to realize the machines just replace a little bit of patience and elbow grease.

Mo Jo Of course I would...if I knew how to use them! That would require a 6 month internship (or longer) to fully understand how to use it. Now, "parallels". I've never heard of those, either! So, I have to research and view videos for hours to figure out what THEY do! All I'm saying, is "Keep It Simple Stupid Stupid" (KISS and the millworkers can do their own thing!

If you watch a lot of my videos, you'll see that I try to do a wide variety of projects with a wide variety of tools. In some videos I do projects exclusively with extremely simple tools and in some I use much more complex tools. I could do every single project with a file and a hacksaw and a hand drill, but I view part of my mission as not only showing how you can do a job with the tools you have, but also introducing a glide path for makers to follow as they get more serious about the craft of knife making. I think a lot of viewers enjoy seeing tools used that they don't own because a big part of any hobby is imaging things you might do in the future!

,Mark Clark, while Walter does not need anyone to defend him, I feel compelled to do so on this point. I have watched almost every video he has made regarding knife making, sword making, shop set up, tools, etc. He has been making videos for the knife making crowd for a number of years now. If you look back at his videos there are a large portion of them dedicated to making knives with very simple tools. He takes great pains to show both sides. I usually don't comment on these kind of things but your comment was shortsighted and not well researched. He really does go the extra mile to make sure that anybody can make knives with whatever tools that one has available. Also it was many years before he ever asked for any financial support to do so. He has invested thousands of dollars into teaching others without the expectation of any financial reimbursement. If you want to learn how to make knives and swords this is the man to watch.

I for one appreciate the insightful perspective Mr. Sorrells gives. His advise was around good practice, whether with a machine or by hand. Who cares to watch a speedup of 10 minutes worth of hand filing? I particularly enjoyed the tip around using the parallel bars and how to source them!

One thing I've learned is that if you assemble any group of human beings, you will never, ever, ever, ever have agreement about music. I put on classical music, somebody complains. I put on acoustic guitar, somebody complains. Metal, here comes another complainer. So I just put stuff on there that amuses me and that I don't have to pay royalties for.

Walter Sorrells Walter, first I appreciate your response, meaning you care. I agree with no one will be happy, so, how about "no music"? not all videos are music accompanied an are just OK. thanks.

Walter Sorrells use whatever u wanna use man. you got this far doing what you do, how you do it. why stop now ?

Always one man-gina in the crowd, smh
