I don't even make knifes or tools. I just find this channel therapeutic.

"Bro?" No sir! 😉 Thank you for this video Walter! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is sentimental about kitchen utensils! Last April I was house/cat sitting for my step brother, they have a gas stove and I melted, partially, 😢 the handle of their fish spatula, so I bought them a new fish spatula and I have the one I melted and I got to figure out how to put a new handle on it so thank you for this video it was extremely helpful and I'm excited to get it done, and hopefully I can find some gorgeous wood like what you worked with! Cheers, from Oregon!

Reality spilled a little bit on the right side of the screen ! Great repair !

I can't get enough,I realllly enjoy watching your vids Walter. We need more content!!! As always this was out-fucking-standing!

I like how in all his explanations, he takes into account the people who might not have all these power tools available to them. Very inclusive.

in the process of making my first knife. been a lot of fun. failed trying to make a giant Bowie first time around and a karambit so opted with something a much more simple. blade is about 4 inches long. managed to put a nice full flat grind on it too. trying to sand out the grind lines now. something therapeutic about knife making. used 01 steel as im only a beginner. will be making more if this 1 turns out like i hope.

This is actually a really great tutorial on how make and attach knife handles. You cover all the things you don't think about until your knee deep in unaligned holes. Order of operation is key. Nicely done sir

Walter! You are amazing! Your Mother tells me my Mother gave this to your Grandmother on her birthday about 70 years ago. Thank you for your beautiful restoration!

Hey Julie!

Fabulous presentation! Thank you, Walter!

Greetings from Ireland. You can salvage the finest of timber from junk antique furniture, an old mahogany table for instance would give many years worth of handles, piano's are great also, the old ones may even have real ivory & ebony.

Thank you Walter for a very good tutorial. I love how you explain that simpler tools will work just fine for those of us with modest shops.

yeah, please more non-knife related (but kitchen related) projects !

Very nice! I just made a maple spoon for my mother to mimic one she'd had in her family for a long time. I was a bit surprised how tricky a spoon was to make actually. I learned a lot. Great video as usual!

Very appropriate and nicely done....

And disk sander moves faster on the outside than towards the centre. Good info, I've wondered how to get that right.

Awsome work man !

This is how I got started in knife making

I Loved this video! As always, packed full of useful information but this time a bit of sentimentality too. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

Hey fine handle I to love a little beeswax myself great video

Thanks for this tutor, I have a really old knife, probably it was bought by my father of my great-grandfather. However, the blade is superior its handle get really messy. The blade is really baggy. From now I can figure out how to replace the old handle. Thx again.

1:21 It's crazy to imagine that Walter was 5-7 years old at one point in time

Hi Walter, could you do a tutorial on making a butterfly knife I think it would be really cool and something different for you to try, I was thinking a Damascus style would look amazing, love your videos you got me into knife making

you are so cool

Perhaps you have a razor that was passed down generations that you could restore and use? Lol love the vids, keep it up

What would a damascus spatula run me?

The wood on the handle looked like it had been in a dish washer, I hope that won't happen again. Nice handle, planning to do some when I get the wood, thank you.

Admittedly laughed when I saw the title, but it is the basics of making a knife/utensil handle from stock. Off topic question, how many pancakes have been turned with that spatula?

Thanks. As far as the music goes, that's actually me. Everybody was bitching about the little transitional musical bump thingy that I've been using for years, so I recorded some new ones.

Wow, very nice. So the brass pins are just that ... straight pins? No flaring at the ends?

How do I keep my knives from rusting over time? I have been making knives for a year and some of the ones I have made awhile back now have rust spots. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks for the video. What is the show's name you went to New York for and when will it be out.

Can you do a video making a shaving razor? plz

would california redwood be good for this application? That's all i got!

Since it's got a full tang, would that make a good bushcraft spatula? Does it have a 90 degree spine? [sarc]

Mr.Sorrells I have a question that is unrelated to this video but I made a fighting style chopper from a big really thick metal file and I'm having a lot of trouble drilling the pin holes. The file is extremely thick and high carbon which is perfect for a knife like that but is impossible to drill with a hand drill (only drill I have) and I annealed the file several times bringing it to critical temperature and leaving it to slowly cool in wood ash. And it's still impossible to drill I destroyed about 5 drill bits which left me think could it be air hardening steel? But the file is like 50 years old and I quenched the blade in water and it hardened skated a file after that while the handle didnt. So can you give me any advice how I can drill the pin holes? Also I'm a huge fan of your work you're one of my inspirations to start knifemaking!

Do you ever stabilize your own wood for handles?

Any reason you decided not to refinish the steel? Is it because it will be used more?

How would you do it with an extended spatula

are u inside or outside filming? and what kind of lighting do u use sir?

Hi Walter, what drilling speed were you using? it seems pretty slow but your getting good results.

I tend not to change drill speeds unless it's crazy far off from a reasonable speed.

Do you ever use horn for handles? If so, how do you compare it to wood; I mean is it harder to work with, can it be worked with simple hand tools etc.

@WalterSorrellsBlades

8 жыл бұрын

I've used buffalo horn but not, say, ram horn. Horn is pretty easy to work, softer than most woods. The downside of horn is that it's basically the same material as fingernails, so it stinks like crazy when you grind it!

I see you have it posed in a teflon frying pan in the thumbnail. Don't use metal tools in pans with non stick coatings.

So was mom happy?
