    @@jayfron6012 well, I can tell you the technique is a standard sewing stich. I have a leather needle that instructs the same stich. (Check it out if you have a hobby shop nearby.) I think there are 2 "twists" on this technique: - using the chisel to make holes for the awl. I think the reason awls have a blade edge is so they can make their own slot - no chisel prep needed! - the SAK has a slot hole, so theoreticaly you could use it to sew with leather lace. If sewing with thread, you wouldn't need the slot hole, and you could get away with a smaller diameter. On the other hand, consider the effort (pounds of force against the leather material) increases with the following: 1) sewing thread with a needle. 2) sewing thread with an awl. 3) sewing leather lace with an awl. Which is to say, I think I'd prefer #1 for thread, or #3 with lace - this puts you back to needing a slot hole! I'd put a hole in my Leatherman awl, but I'd probably put it only 1/4-3/8" from the tip.

    Ive always heard you should tilt the awl about 45 degrees from the direction of the stitching (more like / / / / than - - - -) so youre not running as much of a risk of continuing that cut along the length of the stitching. Might be pointless, but always made sense to me

    ​@@MrTravisAl Maybe, but the thinking is that the cut makes a weak point that is likely to keep going along the lined up holes. Plus when strain tries to pull apart the stitching you have more material to go through with the biased stitching than the straight stitching. In my mind, its probably as good or a little better to bias than to do them all in a straight line. Not like Ive compared the two side by side or anything like that so honestly Im absolutely just guessing.

    Theres definitelya lot of fluff out there, i know what you mean. But I do want to point out that people generally hesitate to say how much a product costs during a review/demo video because of how frequently and drastically prices tend to chance nowadays. I think I'd need both hands to count how many things were "under $30" just a few years ago, and are now $70+. Condor Cutlery and Case are two good examples. So they tend to focus on information that is likely to stay accurate for a longer period of time, such as how to use certain features, or the durability of certain materials.

    @@ArchangelExile You aren't wrong, and there are youtubers who discuss that very thing on their channels as well. However, keep in mind that information like that is readily available from many different sources. It makes sense that some channels wouldn't bother to include that kind of information in a short-format, instructional/demonstration video when it's so far from the point of the making the demonstration to begin with. It's the same reason recipe books don't usually have the prices of their ingredients as of the time of publishing. There are other formats and other sources to compare the prices of goods and products.

    You can use the fish scaler (looks a bit like a saw but the teeth are blunt) as a key for a 1980's Vauxhall Cavalier... My brother opened the boot/trunk, put the keys in his pocket, got changed and then put the clothes (with keys in pocket) in the boot and closed it. Dad came over and opened it with his knife.

    @@subtleusername5475 It’s not imaginary. My buddy is an Eagle Scout and in high school was volunteering after school to do a skills demonstration for some kids-a very generous and noble thing for a 17 year old dude to do with his time. So he had his pack in the back seat of his car in the high school parking lot. Some Karen of a hall monitor/ campus security guy saw the BACKPACK and thought it might be concealing something, so he called the cops, and they broke into and searched by buddy’s car while he was in class. They found a Swiss Army knife in the pack, and for that he got suspended from the school for 2 weeks! No wonder the next generation is so doomed when there’s piece of shit adults like this running the show!

    that’s a nice, uniform stitching pattern you have there, brother. I always just use the awl on the knife to do the punching as well as the stitching, but now I see the error of my ways. The awl on the knife just got emergency repair use, not so much for every day projects, so the biggest surprise of this was watching you slip your project into a stitching pony. Which tells me you probably use your Swiss Army knife instead of a standard one, for doing your stitching on the regular. Lots of good stuff to think about here. Thank you.
