    I wanted a Hunting knife for my friend as a Birthday gift because he is a great hunter. I searched a lot and in the end, saw a knife which is the perfect gift for every situation. The knife I purchased was absolutely beautiful! Well crafted and heavier than I expected. The blade material was pure in quality and the handle was made from natural wood. I bought this from Almazan Knives. My friend And I are both really satisfied with their product.

I figured it was more me having an off day, but if I can blame it on worn belts, I might be able to justify buying belts more often. Thanks for another great video!

I watch a lot of different "project" channels, for lack of a better term, that are out of my wheelhouse but I always learn something that I can use in projects that are in my wheelhouse. You've given me ideas for keeping my kitchen blades cared for and your handle making for my own wood working projects. Course I have to do most of the work by hand.

    Hey, working by hand only means you make the mistakes more slowly, giving you more time to catch them before going too far. Power tools make mistakes so quickly that we waste materials. [With the exception of a coal forge. They burn the steel much more quickly than a gas forge.]
