I love modding Opinel knives. From a basic handle reshape, curving one side to parallel the cutting edge (similar to the official gardening blade) and a recent large (maybe a No. 9) with a modded spear point blade and handle end flattened to give a maximum blade length nit far short of the handle, then gun metal blue finish. Nice leather work esp. the dye.....I did another knife sheath in veg tanned leather and ‘vinegaroon’.......looked.....rustic!

Get your Opinel knife to modify (Amazon) ➡ amzn.to/3dxx5OV Dremel Stylo I used to wood carve (Amazon) ➡ amzn.to/2UoBRqm Wood burner (Amazon) ➡ amzn.to/2WRNpUx

Nice job! I have a wood burner, but have only used it on one sheath. I will have to get it out again. Thanks 🎸🔪

Nice!! I definitely need to get me a few more of those and see what I can come up with.

Nice work, one thing I would recommend doing for the embossing of the letters on leather, use a large C-Clamp to press the stamp into the leather, you will get a very crisp and deep impression when doing that, instead of using a hammer that can cause a bounce and a mis hit

You do outstanding work Just curious how much time spent?

Does the mixture to blacken the blade work on regular steel Opinel?

What’s the third liquid in addition to the vinegar and mustard for the blade pattern? Never heard of this method but I’m keen to try it

Nice work. Imagine if he did all that work, then realized the blade was Inox...

cool knife I like the way you did the blade. I was going to start carving with the old ryobi I have. can you tell me are all flex shafts compatible? I know it has to be a 1/4" or 3mm that's it?

@CorneliusCreations

4 жыл бұрын

For the most part all flex shafts bits and burrs will work if you have the right collets. (Collets house the burrs) I find the most standard collet being 3mm. Larger units like the Foredom go up to 1/2 on there burrs which is crazy

what do you use with vinegar and mustard?

I love this video man, just one thing. How long do you leave the mustard mixture on for?

Nice work. But plz, don't use a metal hammer when stamping leather. That's why you got some double stamps, use a deadblow hammer or a rawhide mallet. And a metal hammer destroys the tools and you can get a metal chip in the eye..
