Thank you for showing not only the knife but how to do the sheath!

I passed out on your knife build (from extreme tiredness, not boredom) and was dreaming I was in a knife making class. Possibly the most informational dream I've ever had! P. S. Your videos are still going! Love the channel

I really enjoyed this particular project. I think I may have a group of Scouts make their own knives and sheathes.

I started watching your videos after repairing my first knife, not really knowing what I was doing, but I really am fascinated by the way you work and how well you explain the steps to take. It will eventually take me to buy the tools and try to make my first knife! Thank you for your insights! Great videos!

I love the low tech approach.

I really love the show. Not a lot of talk, just enough. I think what makes it so enjoyable is the music and your brother has a neat way of capturing what you’re doing. Can’t wait to see the next video.

Great idea for anchoring the grinder! Try drilling a hole for the switch so you don't have to remove it to turn on and off. :-)

Love the rough drill beveled holes the rustic chewed out look is neat

Thank you so much for sharing that angle grinder trick, I'm definitely going to use that in the future

Thanks again Dustin. Your work is absolutely awesome.

Great little knife. As usual, your explanation and pace are perfect. Love the wooden ‘switch’ for the bandsaw!

Love the simplistic yet very effective way you make this knife!!! Love your relaxed, easy yet detailed manner of presenting in the whole video. Great video, man!

Nothing negative I could think about this video. Amazing work!

I really like the shape of this knife. I have been looking for something similar. I do prefer a recurve edge on the opposite side, but what you did is pretty awesome.

I built a wooden "box" to hold my 9" Milwaukee Angle Grinder. for the very same purpose you did with the smaller version. My grinder was damaged so rather than buying parts for a gigantic grinder I had not used in several years I teansformed it into a permanent 9 in bench grinder. The trigger was completely broken so I wired it permanently on. I added an on/off rocker switch in the power cord. It works great and my small angle grinders are bug enough for the needed grinding of welds etc. I did learn the portable bandsaw trick from you. A whole lot more economical than a dedicated floor model bandsaw.

absolutely amazing job , love your work

Hey I made a jig to hold my 9" Milwaukee Angle Grinder. I use it often for shaping blades. My "grinding wheel" is an antique. Literally. It is a hand crank grinding wheel with a fairly heavy flywheel. It works well without electric power. I found it in an old barn that had collapsed. My belt sander is from Grizzly Tools. Kind of expensive but I used to craft cutlery as an income stream.

I have a case of arthritis in both hands so I have had to come up with a few work arounds in my shop. One workaround i have done is a 1x30 inch belt grinder converted to a knife sharpener. I removed the table then I mounted it on its back by building a 90 degree bracket out of 3/4 MDF and screwing the base of the sander to it. I routinely sharpen kitchen knives to 1000 grit with this rig. Also since it’s hard for me to sand the flats of blades I use an old knob from a lid from a discarded skillet lid. I just super glue the knob to the side of the knife and push it back and forth. The super glue will pop off the steel with a little heat and a sharp rap from a hammer. I use the window from an old gas kitchen oven as a flat surface for my sand paper. I don’t build knives but I do like to find good knives at thrift stores and such. I use the tools I have described to make them like new again.

Hahahahaha. This is hilarious. I've spent all yesterday and today researching neck knives for my thru-hike next year, but I've really been wanting to make as much of my gear as I can instead of buying it. And then...voila. This wonderful video pops up! Perfect timing, sir. Great video. Love the simple, but functional design. And your videos are just so pleasant to watch that I've begun playing them on part of my computer screen while I'm doing research or writing on the other half of my screen. And the music selection is always brilliant. Thanks for the great video and for sharing this knowledge. Much appreciated.

You are a pretty good all around craftsman , enjoy watching !

Ever thought of buying a counter sinking bit to make a smoother finish

AWESOME!

10-January-2018 Nice job! The way you present the material and the how to instructions were excellent. John RET Military

Veramente molto bello.... Bravissimo 👍

Very nice pc of craftsmanship

Superb work!

great video , i love it

👍made in Brasil!!

Very good

Just followed on insta,,,,!!! NICE! Thanks for sharing

Awesome

If you are using paracord it seems like a good idea to round the idges of the handle slightly

Instead of belt grinder I am using a bench grinder for bevels etc. Just need to spend some time with a wooden block and a sand paper :)

Your countersinking is a bit rough looking but I like the knife a lot. Good work!

Excellent

Отличный нож👍🏻

So many good tidbits of info in this vid, thanks for sharing it. When will we get to see more?

Old video but have you thought about putting a strap over the grinder jig? If it "bites" or something it's free to fly out and maybe hit you.

Love the design and wanna take a stab at my own but was thinking you say keep a stone or sandpaper with it why not loop a small sharpening stone to the end of the cord dangling st the bottom ?

Clamp your blade in a vise or to the table then do that wrap ,its much easier

very groovy

Could you posssibibly post a suggested price, for this neck survival knife? Everything about it, is wonderful. I am old school, from the 50s and 60s, and, I've never seen anything like this.

muy buen video

What do you drill the holes with i tried one and it ate my drill bit

loving the vids! hey what grit of sand paper do you use to sharpen?

thats a really nice knife, i'm going to steal that one, have you thought of using a celtic button knot

Awesome video! I am about to try to make a neck knife myself. How did you get your Harbor Freight belt Sander table to tilt forward that much? I just bought one and I dont think it tilts forward that far?

I’m a little disappointed that this wasn’t a knife I could purchase. Out of everything I’ve been looking or this was perfect but I don’t have the tools (or the skill lol) to build it. Enjoyed the video though :)

Awesome knife! Is it possible to share the profile/design/PDF?

well done it came out great. And your video quality is awesome. Does it hold an edge well? It seemed to drill pretty easily so I was thinking maybe it wasn't very hard.

Hi Dustin. I have the same 1” belt sander from harbor freight. How did you modify the table top to angle toward the belt? Could you share? Thanks! Great stuff man. God bless! 🇺🇸

Hey ; use cutting oil.

did you heat treat it? how's it going to hold an edge if not?? looks cool.

Did you heat treat blade? Your videos are awesome. Much love from finland 🎩🔪

What is the music you play in these videos? I need a soundtrack like this for my shop!

What kind of drill bits are you using for the metal?

what kind of tool are you using to set the angle

I want one !! What's the waiting period and cost ?

I know I’m three years late but now I want one
