Where did you get your buna rubber from and how thick is it.

Excellent video. Thanks

Love All My Puukkos .

That’s a wonderful introduction! Fuki urushi is such a great finish :) did you mix the lacquer with turps?

I'd love to get an in-depth video of your furo chamber that you made to cure your urushi

I am obsessed with vintage Waterman’s! The flex really make your handwriting pop. It just looks so incredible!!

Amazing experimenting with urushi. I usually like a "basic" tamenuri, but your raden is cool too. I can only imagine how much time and $ you spent on this. Yes, the city in Japan where you could see urushi craftsmen that was damaged in the last earthquake was called Wajima. Beautiful small city. I hope the town will recover. Aloha.

Great content,just taken that you did not mention Wirkkala Puukko.

very interesting

Bark River knives ar made in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where there a a lot of people of Finnish decent.

This is great advice! I'm at the beginning of my pen restoration journey and I wish I'd find this video even sooner.

You did a nice job on your version. Certainly as good a knife as any you show there.

Just use a hair dryer and it will not burn the pen. Not a heat gun, open flame but a hair dryer.

Can i just say as a fellow knife enthusiasts.......bravo..my man...beautiful build. What will it take for you to make me one??

I have and use many finish puukko ,BB [ birch bark,] and of course curly birch /karelian birch ,are most traditional...nice video ..

Where did you get that silicone grease applicator?

I feel so bad, for that large Moore pen 🙁 I hope you were able to fix that pen. Totally agree about buying from a reputable seller.

What is the ticking noise in the background? Clock? It’s really noticeable

*promo sm* 😪

I think this is the video I need. I have one that says Lifetime on the nib and is a vac filler. now i just need parts.

Thanks for the video Very informative!!

Clean the shellac jar top with alcohol, then apply Vaseline to the top and threads. It won’t stick shut on you that way.

I like the scandi grinds for woodwork, but often they are terrible slicers. Some really nice puukkos in your collection.

Sold break down of the company cross. I always carry 2-3 pens on hand. 1. Fountain pen 2. Cross gell pen with black ink. So that if someone needs to borrow a pen, they can write with it, and the black gell ink color is awesome. 3. Fisher Space pen because no matter what is happening I can always count on it to write even in -30. 😆 Man wish I was rich. It would be nice to buy cross up and build them back up to what they once were. I was shocked to see cross gone from staples.

this video was very helpful!! i got my pen apart (it’s almost like the one in this video, but the plunger thingy is trashed. and the nib unit need to be replaced because the nib is partially broken. Where do you get your parts?

Try Mohi Pens as well, one of the best value for money Pens you can buy in India

Could watch vids on puukkos all day. Such a simplistic and minimalist design. No Damascus steel required, no one harping on about how they're not full tang (if they've used and understand their functionality), no argument necessary about if uses the most expensive super steel in the world by someone that lets it sit inside their knife drawer... A true tool for sure, and this video does it great justice. Nice work!

I’ve ordered my repair tools, however I would like to get a work surface and was wondering where you got your silicon mat from.

I just took a section off using my hairdryer, and patience. It was interesting. I thought it would take more might. When that shellac reached the temperature it needed to melt, the need for force was 1/10th of what I was prepared for. This is a lesson.

I have been holding myself back for MONTHS from buying this pen. At first I was fixated on the Orange-black, but then a month ago a white one came out and I don't think I can hold myself back much longer. Every day that I get off from work there's a strong temptation to just visit my favourite pen store and buy one right that day. But I have a hunch that it's not going to work out just yet. There's a nagging voice in my head saying that the money would come in handy. That voice is probably a part of me maturing into a boring, sensible adult. Though I am happy with my two Lamy Lx for now. But soon my precious...soon. Update: I caved. Bought the Pearl White with a broad nib. It. Is. BEAUTIFUL!

It doesn't increase the value of the pen, it increases the price of the pen.

Nice video, l like fountain pen and restoration pens and pencils

I recommend you Kanwrite pens. Kanwrite Legacy ebonite with Titanium ultraflex and Gold 14k EF ultraflex are a joy to use. Rightnow i am writing with a Kanwrite 14K Gold ultraflex nib on a Gravitas Ultemate VAC.

I had heard the newer & improved Noodler's Bosten safety pens have a stainless shaft inside instead of the ebonite...

Never use a flame around celluloid!

The Mora robust ìs a handyman knife and a forest knife. The reason to the button clip is traditional here in Sweden. manufacturer's attach a button on and a loop the right leg. It's easier to get the knife from there when you're working then from the belt. Interesting film

Hello Gentlemen, I am Kiruba from India. I used Parker vector for over 8 years and now the nib broke off, the spare nibs are not upto the point. Hence I decided to buy an Indian handmade ebonite fountain pen. But it came to my attention that none of them are under 1000 to 1500 rupees. Everything is priced between 2800 to upwards. Way, way over my budget. May I ask you if you have any ebonite fountain pen in your collection which you are not using, Will you sell it to me ? My genuine request. Sorry for this long texts, Thank you.

Never had a a Karas Pen. Cool mystery and gift. Hope you are feeling better. Aloha

GGood night~ Wow!total beautiful upload, ciao,Bryan- 🙃

Wonderful explanation of all the different varieties, how they work and their history. Excellent video!

I just attended my first Fountain Pen Show and bought my first vintage pen, a Waterman Lever filler. Thank you for this wealth of information!

I love click and ranga pens

I have two of the new Aeros; a rose gold pen, and a gold one. I love them both. I didn’t know there was an older version. Great information, thank you!

These inks are very light and easy flowing. Except the ones from the red family relatively easy to clean. The ink does cause feathering in medium quality paper. But for the sheer quantity insane value.

Looks cheap

Very informative and clear explanations from your cool collection. Many thanks

Nice knife you made 😊. Greetings from Finland

I used them since maybe six years old and bought my first good one at fourteen 😊 Still got it.

This has been the video I have been looking for! The only thing missing is how to take off the piston cap! Yours in the video was already unscrewed, otherwise, fantastic video to finish my first vac restoration.

Thank you so much for this video! VERY helpful. Where did you get the green tray you're working on?
