Enjoyed the video and it is a beauty!

That's a really nice handle!

Brilliant video

Well done !

Great video, thanks for sharing

Very nice!

I'm not mad about the blade to be honest, but the handle, I am making a knife for my Dad just now, and I think I will use your ideas on it. Great build and video, thanks for sharing.

awesome job

Great work. You are better at knife handles than me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I wish I had the tools to make this amazing knife good job

You don't really need much more than a hacksaw, a couple of files and some sandpaper. The powertools just make it easier and faster, not of better quality.

Beautiful.

Really nice job there. Just subbed.

it's an amazing workpiece. if i see it I wouldn't even care if the knife is good of bad because that handle is just beautiful

Switch & Lever Thank you for making interesting videos. :)

Excellent 👌

It's nice to finally see someone make a 'homemade' knife with the proper tools. I understand most people don't have a mill, but hardly anyone even seems to have a vertical bandsaw. I would have liked to see more effort put into the blade, but nice work overall.

nice. it inspired me to make one like Yours.

very nice!

Awesome!!!!

Good job

wow awesome and butiful work! :) I really like it! :)

waw ....very very very , nice job , realy nice

very creative

great knife and great vid! what is the polish compound you use with the dremmel?

Brilliant

The epoxy looked easy to work with since it was so fluid. Is it the one called z-poxy PT-40 Finishing Resin?

that was a bauteful handle. you are wery talented. by the way how long did it take to fhinished it?

: a beautiful knife...well done mate!!! what's the blade material??

Hey mate you have a lot of different sanders do you do it for a living or hobby?

good job. good vid.

Have you done a video showing what tools you currently use? I'm working on my first knife, and I was hoping you had some suggestions for a guy making knives on a TIGHT budget? (Belt sanders, bench grinders, drill presses, etc.) Thanks! Awesome looking handle. Subbed! :D

that's some nice work! Subbed :)

Beautiful knife. What cement do you use.

As usual, an excellent tutorial. You've created a very nice knife. However, I personally would never have cut the tang so short. Even with modern day epoxy adhesives, using only glue won't guarantee a securely fitted handle. I would always consider either drilling through the handle and tang and use rivets to secure the handle, or leave the tang long, thread the end of the tang and screw on the brass finial. Thanks for the video. Stuart

I've heard the same thing many times, but I've fitted blades for a long time like this and I literally have never had any issues with blades coming out. Heck, I have a knife from my childhood that my dad made where the wood of the handle is literally falling apart (from me beating on it with a hammer as a kid) and the tang is still solid in the handle. I wouldn't really worry, as long as you provide enough grip for the glue, i.e. notch the handle and make sure it's absolutely grease and dirt free before gluing.

No no, I get that, just saying I've never had any issues 🙂

What brand are the drill bit and end mill you use for drilling out the handle? I cannot find a decent long 4mm end grain drill bit, or a decent length 4mm end mill.

Very nice work, and a beautiful design. I also like that horizontal belt sander with the spindle sander at the end. I wonder if there's some way to give it a table that wouldn't interfere with using the nose of the belt too? Maybe a pivoting support that let's you move it aside? -- Mike

Yeah, I've been considering the same. The issue being mainly since it takes different size spindles, for different radiuses, you'd have to make one table for each size (3 or 4 sizes I believe) and that would be a bit of a hassle.

@doubledarefan

Switch & Lever Build one table that space for an insert around the spindle, then you only need to make an insert for each size spindle.

wow that is a beauty . so you just epoxy the brass on the pummel part ?

@michaelharrison1311

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't trust the pommel to stay attached very long just epoxied into the end of the wood.

Nice job a lot of info thanks

Is it possible to find out which bandsaw and which blades you´re using? Thank you very much.

Another fine video. This makes me want to make a blade form an old file, and then make the handle from some bois d arc wood that is local to me.

@SwitchAndLever

I was considering that, but I couldn't find an old file. Will have to hunt around in flea markets a bit to stock up.

That knife is a real beaut.

Can you tell me what wood you used other than walnut? please are going to do a knife like yours.

Nice

how did you work out the sizing and shaping of the handle?

har du några knivar till salu? skit fin blev den!

Mycket lärorik video! Har letat på många ställen efter epoxylim, men har endast hittat i små tuber. Har du nåt förslag var jag kan köpa epoxylim i större tuber?

Testa platser som säljer båtgrejer, specifikt för att bygga eller reparera båtar, dom brukar ha större mängder. Det går också att köpa online, t.ex. West System Epoxy finns tillgänglig från en hel del ställen i Sverige.

Hej vad är det för järn,metall du andvänder och vet du vart man kan hitta bra järn plåt till en kniv typ?

Nice work. Looks like you might have been able to save yourself some material and time however if you had cut the initial stock a bit closer to final shape. The handle is gorgeous though.

How did you make the brass plates between the wood?

Hey Switch & Lever ! Just want to ask, how thick are the brass pieces that you are using there?

@SwitchAndLever

9 жыл бұрын

Konsta Pigg I don't actually remember, the guard is probably around 10mm thick, the pommel 4-5.

Sorry, what I meant was, do you have a favorite online source to buy small quantities of brass sheets, rods or blocks? Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge, I'm a fan.

+umberto4321 Still, that's my point, without knowing where you are I couldn't even begin to advice, and unfortunately unless you are located in Sweden I can't really help I'm afraid. Getting small amounts of metal material locally is always better, as shipping tends to become expensive as weights increase.

Two thumbs up

Where do you get your brass and other metals?
