Do you have any other methods and techniques for fitting guards?

Awesome content sir. I am self taught and learn something from every knife I make. Tons of mistakes and research to apply to the next knife. The little things I pick up are the most valuable. Thank you for your time and shared knowledge. I can be happy but never 100 % satisfied. Perhaps I'll reach Nirvana during my knife making journey.

I’ve never made a “perfect” knife and probably never will. Bits a moving target. 😉. Thanks for watching.

I love videos like this one. A lot of smiths who do build videos don't cover things like this and leave the rest of us mucking about in the dark until we figure it out or find videos like yours.

I’m glad it was helpful, Nick! You better send me some pics of that knife for Viewer Knives! 👍

absolutely great Triple T. Guard fiting is one of those things which makes knifemaker not so into hidden tang blades (in my opinion looks much better). It's cool that you point some things definitely because you expierience that, like not square tang (I've been there - nightmare). for beginer Knifemakers this episode might be super helpfull. Great job Man! As always

That was super helpful, thanks! Do you then solder in place, or epoxy?

I never solder the guard, epoxy is just fine. Thanks for watching.

Question: Have you done any integral guards for any of your blades?

@TyrellKnifeworks

I’ve done integral bolsters but I’ve never done an integral guard.

How about a Damascus integral guard knife... easier with a mill but still difficult to do. 😉

@TyrellKnifeworks

The Gyuto chef knife build was an integral Damascus bolster. Doing that with a mill presents it’s own challenges. You have to hold the knife and mill the tang but that means flipping the knife over and having to indicate the edges again. 😬

Small correction, you were within 2 thousandths of an inch on thickness (.002), not 20 thousandths (.020), which is pretty darn close (which was your point). .020 would be a big gap relatively speaking. :-) Love your work, keep up the videos!

Yeah, I noticed that when I replayed it after. I should have put corrective text up. Thanks for watching!
