Very nice to see you making the knife handles and getting ready to make the knifes. I remember my wood working projects as a boy. Very satisfying to see the wood turn into a very usable item with my efforts.
Your Dad is a Pro at folding a bandsaw blade. ive tried many times and always end up cutting fingers. gave it up as a bad job now. Fantastic Video, Love to see the old craftsmen at work.
Cheers.
Your dad makes it all look so easy! That wood is beautiful. Makes me want to get our new to us, old band saw up and running! Your dad also snaps that saw blade beautifully! Love this video
Great video. I watched in amazement as Papa folded his band saw blade. I watched that segment over and over. Still - I slice my face to ribbons! Oh well - just keep trying for another 10 years! Just something I never quite got the hang of. Maybe I'm not holding my mouth just right!
Thank you for sharing the whole process. So many steps. May I know what kind of wood were used?
Great shop.... I just remembered that I have some Ironwood that I cut about thirty years ago. It is well named. Almost tossed it several times as it has some checks, but this will be an awesome project for it. Not as pretty as your cedar (?), but really TOUGH. Thanks - took a screen shot for the pattern :-) Also have a bunch of bits of walnut etc. lying around. Great channel.
Yeah, you better use cedar. Butter can be though cookie. I've seen hungry people with slice of bread in one hand and broken ironwood butter knife in other one. And tears of despair on their faces. Oh the humanity... Don't be fool like them, use cedar. And for best results, do not use anything thinner than 2 inches.
If you want a wooden knife that will cut, try Macassar Ebony.
LOL I love my butter knife...I swear it makes butter, toast and jam taste better! Cooking is an art and cooking with art...perfect blend. Do you make rolling pins?
Never seen a left handed band saw before. Interesting!
Amazing video. Great talent making the knives. I hope I win one.
Don't be silly man. Do you think that swedes would part with HANDMADE SWEDISH BUTTER KNIFE MADE BY REAL SWEDES FROM REAL SWEDISH FIREWOOD IN SWEDISH WORKSHOP.
Try that shit in IKEA and see what happens.
Good luck you unswedish heathen.
Reminds me of the little wooden spoons the popcycle man gave you with a cup of ice cream.
Really enjoyed watching your dad's craftsmanship.
Nice!
I think you Dad has folded a bandsaw blade or two in the past ... that was cool! 3:26
I guess if that wedding band ever has to come off the entire finger is going with it
Ray Silke I noticed that also😳
I'd never heard of a Swedish Butter knife.
Very cool video
Just go to wood prix website if you want to know how to make it yourself.
True
The first video I watched was your flipping of the saw blade.
Amazing!
It's absolutely lovely! I really enjoy your channel thanks for all the great content! From Texas :)
As a father the same age as your father what a wonderful time spent together creating beautiful gifts. Enjoy your time with Dad! Great video and music!
I adore these videos. I came for the farming videos but I must say I Love the woodshop videos!
The famous Swedish butter knife is carved by hand. And in another wood.
What ? No ending :( , cant wait :)
In the mean time, I suggest collecting all that saw dust from the bottom of the bandsaw bro.
Nice bandsaw
My dad and I are working together today, and now just watched you two do the same. Living the good life, we won't have this forever. :)
I wish I could smell the scent of the wood. Lovely
Jonas Larsson we need that smell-o-vision TV
Wamblue the butter knife is for making butter. Old fashioned way.
Hey Buddy. You should get your Dads wedding ring resized. It looks like its cutting his circulation it's not healthy for his hand and it seems like his craft is his hands just thought I'd mention it
A one year anniversary? no such thing, you mean 1st anniversary
Kinda new to your channel and I love it so far. Nice workshop! My father in law makes knifes- metal. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with us
What a privilege to watch a greatly skilled craftsman at work - thanks for sharing!
Looks great so far.
Looking forward to the finished product.
What a privilege to still be able to work with your father. Love your channel. God bless you and your family.
Really nice video! It's great that you and your dad can work together in the shop. I wish I still had mine.
Your dad is a badass! Love how he tripple looped that band saw blade in 1 move.
Swedish butter knife, Danish butter, French bread, Dutch cheese, along with German wine, a truly European sandwich.
bren106 - And Irish Guinness!!!!!!!!
There is no 'Irish' Guinness around here, what we are served is brewed about 10 Km from here in Cheshire.
I like the finished product. May even try to make one myself. Simeon I've always thought you swedes were pretty good but you disappoint me a little. Even in central Africa housekeeping was paramount.
Name of guitarist. He DYNAMITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Stanley cu
By cu
Heart warming and wholesome 👍🌳🇮🇪 great channel you guys.. Happy trails 🌲
Stephen Gerard's Arb Quest moose /deer bone knife
How cool to see the process! Awesome blessing to have your Dad pass his knowledge to his son's.
Folding the saw blade is just showing off now . many thanks for the vids keep it up please.
Steven Chandler i know , simeon does it in another video too. I have tried several times with no luck.
I wish I was as svelte when folding mine.
Svelte?
folding is easy, opening one safely is the real trick
Bob Blarney th-cam.com/video/wGbZqWac0jU/w-d-xo.html from 1:15. You can thank me later ;-)
Why do you not stack 2 or 3 when trimming on the band saw? Would make things faster and easier...
What do I need a special knife for?
I don't even have any Swedish Butter.
I had forgotten my love of woodworking. Years ago as a young mother I worked in a "hand made" furniture factory and had to change the bandsaw blades. Mostly I did sanding and routing. I have missed it and not known it. Yes I even folded the blades like Papa. Simeon I loved the walk down memory lane. Love to all and thank you.
Was interested in the project but really is all that process necessary, 90% is a complete waste of time, Changing and adjusting bandsaw blade guides etc, By fast forwarding it was hard to find anything worth watching.
Thank you. My faith in humanity was partially restored.
WTF people, it's no brainier to do shit like this and you all be like "those guys just made space rocket out of wood". FFS it's friggin BUTTER KNIFE! It spreads butter on bread. You can take your credit card and it WILL work.
Jeez..
Someone clue a newbie in! Are they in Sweden or US? If Sweden, why they speak English? Just curious. Love the videos!
Simeon's family is from Germany but moved to Sweden maybe 15 years ago. They live by a smaller lake located in between the two largest lakes in Sweden. Both Simeon and his brother Tim have American wives and so that's why they speak both German and English as family, but keeping it in English for youtube.
Thanks charcar78!
Yes Brian , MANY Europeans speak English as well as Their native tongue.
Alright if you have the workshop and fancy tools. I made mine from a fallen birch branch, hand carved and sitting in garden.
Tools used. Bahco Laplander saw, eka folding knife, sandpaper and IKEA board oil. Simples 👍
Instead of cutting each individual piece, why don't you stack and tape a bunch then cut once?
Exactly. It's painful to watch. I could rant about how inefficient that whole work is but the point is, why even bother wasting time and resources for shit like this. In next week: how to make cutting board for bread - this time you WILL have everything to make sandwich. Stay tuned.
Nice work guys. . Greatings from Slovenia
Nice work, but way to intricate for a true Swedish butter knife. We only use one single piece of wood. And the wood should be from the fragrant juniper.
My grandmother was a Peterson. I want a Swedish butter knife! :)
I would appreciate a narration. For instance, what kind of wood are you using? How thick are you cutting it? And more.
I loved watching this. Plus you get to work with your dad. How wonderful!
Nice music
I'd be more impressed if you could make something this simple without power tools.
Looks great.... What's the name of the song that played in the background?
Thanks
3:35 (ish) that blade flip, that's the work of a man who'd done this for a LONG time
Easy one you know how.
I'm your number 1 fan and can easily email you my adress! Ha ha, great work on the butter knives.
No 1 fan with butter knife...
Someone call teh police.
Hi Simon hope you met buckin billy ray smith when he was at the factory's last mounth
Interesting to watch but not helpful at all if one wants to learn something since they do not describe what they are doing. 😟
Beautiful knife. I am a Finnish-Canadian & was fortunate to have a family friend that made kitchen utensils. I have several spoons, spatulas & knives ... and shoe horns. My knives are just made out of a single type of wood ... I really like the 'beefier' handle. Very nice design!
Do you have friggin deathwish? Beefier handles are only proper one. It's frozen butter. Stay safe man.
timber is the best material i the world. More greenies should be pulped to grow trees.
They look like they will be lovely, especially with the two tone handles!!!! As someone said - hope you have a few for sale too!!!! Wonderful to see them being made, including boards from a log ( I assume from your property).....
Pricetag for swedish butter knife, is kidney, but it's totally worth. It's a friggin heirloom. Your grandchildren will think fondly of you while smearing butter on bread.
Hell, you should buy two like right now.
And that’s how to lose your fingers,there’s no shame in using push rods
Would have been nice to watch an educational video with no overlaid stupid music.
What kid of wood are you using?
What kind of glue are you using ?
The magic trick at 3:38 was awesome!!! Lol. Been there done that a few times that man has.
Just discovered your site. I am amazed at the quality of your butter knives. The skill of your father is awesome. Very nice.
Best friggin butter knives in teh world. Space grade materials, Swiss precision and most importantly: human touch.
You can order them online for "absurd" amount of money, but hey, you are too good for shit from China and you know it.
en svensk smörkniv har ett böjt skaft, jag kan visa hur den ser ut om ni vill. Den designades av en man som hette Dag och jobbade i snicken på Hantverkshuset i Linköping
wow thats nice a swedishe butter knife would like to have one that you and your dad made
I just love watching you guys! Tell your dad that he is an inspiration- I was certainly impressed with the saw blade folding trick! Can't wait till you choose (hopefully me)! Thanks for sharing - and what a great idea for your anniversary!
Great video!!! What's the name of the first song please?
Beautiful wood! Are the handles made from Walnut?
Made of juniper wood, it will smell nicely.........
That jigsaw (edit: actually band saw) blade fold absolutely needs to go into a Satisfying Videos compilation!
Ummmm, bandsaw???
@Kevin O I have no recollection of this video I watched 2 years ago and made a mistake in my comment that didn't change the intent of the comment itself and was corrected by another commenter long ago. But yes you sir are correct, it is a band saw blade and not a jigsaw blade. I guess there's a reason I'm watching these videos and not making them. At least I got to experience the majesty of that fold again!
You guys make that look..."as easy as cutting butter"..! Great job .
I saw this project and I decided to copy the design and make it. I made it and In the process I had a lot of fun. I was inspired because they built it from scratch, they took their wood from a block of wood. I used power tools and hand tools. I added dowels to the handle for design effect. I drilled shallow holes on both sides of the handle for the dowels, I should have drilled the holes all the was through
For a perfect line up. I used walnut for the hande and maple for the blade. I will use lght mineral oil for a finish. I dont think it will ever be used but it is a beautiful object to look at, so we will keep it here in the kitchen as a conversation piece. love it.
What an interesting life you live. You are living on the butterknife edge man.
This is pine yeah?
In woodworking class in school, we were forced to do those kind of knives. I really, really, really hated it! Mostly because it wasnt a "real" knife, and becuase the teacher didnt give us a choise.
Nowadays, 35 years later, it can be quite meditative to carv a butter knife.
Nice. I do enjoy your videos! Despite my last comment, which had little to do with you. You guys go first class on your tools. I saw that Festool Rotex!
What a very fascinating process to watch. I hope you will show another video of them when completed. Thanks for sharing this!
How thick is the wood after the thickness planer? Tks
I never heard of this knife and I would never buy it.
i love 2nd music
@ 2:55 I already thought this was an unusually dirty shop, and then he opened the bandsaw blade cabinet.... [shudder] Sawdust is a fire hazard folks! Besides, machines just work better when they are cleaned occasionally.
what's the name of that acoustic instrumental???
Another excellent video Simeon. Please consider making some available to purchase. It would make a wonderful momento of your channel. Looking forward to the next video.
Can you tell me what kind of glue you are using?
@3:50 - Wouldn't this be a great time to vacuum out the bottom of the bandsaw? Nah.
If it ain't smoking, it's all good. :o)
wonderful to see such craftmanship
Just popping by this video again to pick up the Amazon link to make a purchase for roof sealing stuff.
Looking forward to part 2 of the butter knife. Just thinking would work great as a spatula for applying the roof seal compound I am buying..lol.
That fancy move with the saw blade was AMAZING...LOL Had to watch that a few more times. Bravo!
No finished product??? Pretty lame...
Just like butter knives. What a coincidence.
Isn't wood just the BEST?!?😂🌲🌳
How much wood, would the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck would chuck the wood?
It was fun watching the crafting of these beautiful "mall smörkniv"! The wood looks beautiful! I can hardly wait to see them after they are finished! Thanks for sharing your culture and your skills in this special way!
Ya'll credit every one, except the person that is (shredding) that guitar.who is that playing? I mean ,you want to let me know what brand of under ware your sporting and all the tools you use, or hope to use in the future. is That one of ya'll playing ,because it's really good.
Send me one and I will only wash it with butter!
You are very lucky to have your father teach you about wood working. I regret not taking wood working course in college 25 years ago. If I would've taken the course I would be able to build so much right now. What a beautiful knife it is going to turn out once it's dried and sanded out and oiled. Can't wait to see the completed work.
