Tom
Thank you Tom. Winter here has been wet wet wet and more wet. ❄️would be nice, but all we have had is 💦💦💦💦💦
Yeah that sucks 😆🤨
Nice knives, especially the wood jewel puukkos & the jacklore.
Yeh got those in Lapland. Lovely. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your awesome knowledge with us Shane.
Always very clear and educational!
ATVB.
Take care mate,
Steve. 👍👍
Many thanks Steve, as always bud
Very informative i only have a Mora Robust and i still use my 3 1/2 inch lock knife i bought from a fishing shop in Cornwall in 1978 :) one day i will make my own Handle just need to find a nice blade. Great upload ATB.
The best knife is always the one you’re carrying. Thanks for your comments
Watching Sandy's very first video on making a knife in his back garden got me on my journey of making knives 👍
I would say though that as far as I understood, the 'choil' is actually between the blade and handle and that it's purpose is to facilitate sharpening.
Thanks for your comments, you’re quite right...in part. You can indeed have a sharpening choil on a Knife, but also you can have a finger choil as well. Some may have both, sharpening choil usually on blade as you say, and you say technically the choil is a shaped up sharpened area of the blade, similar to a Ricasso I suppose. I refer that part of my knife as a choil, because like a finger choil, it aids with grip, rather than being a full on guard.
Excellent video Shane :) Enjoyed that mate, great advice.
Beauty collection of knives you have there Shane.... I love the Jacklore :)
I will look forward to the next one in the series. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks mark, hope you’re well.
Interesting video Shane. Nice collection of knives and interesting information. I especially found the editing very well thought out and executed this time. Very professional 😉
Why thank you nick
#2 is up tommorrow
Great knives and great introduction to the knife! Keep up the great work!
Many thanks, I hope this will be helpful series of vids
@@IsleofWightBushcraft I'm sure that it will. Your knowledge of the outdoors and it's tools is solid and worth sharing.
I’m always aware that there’s a lot more that I don’t know than I do.
@@IsleofWightBushcraft That's what we learn most as we learn more...
Such a great collection Shane! It's nice to have something beautiful and functional. You feel good everytime you pick it up. Well done brother!👍
Thanks again wade, know what you mean
Looking forward to the rest of this series Shane. You have some nice knives there. Also enjoying your content on Instagram!
Many thanks Douglas, appreciate your comments,
Hi Shane Nice video and good to see the knife well used but cared for.
The steel is 01 High carbon and not 02 and I think yours is 4mm thick. I also build them in 3mm.
As for using the pommel to crush and hammer things I would be very careful. If you hit anything with it that is harder than the stabilised wood, you will damage the knife. I wouldn't recommend striking anything with the pommel.
I am also starting to work on some new stainless steels. High carbon is known for it's good edge retention but some of these new powder metallurgy steels are exceptional though a lot more costly.
As for 01 staining, yes it will mark quite easily and with time even turn black, but that's not a problem, that's just patination and will protect the steel, no problems there. What you don't want is rust and pitting caused by leaving the knife wet or storing it in a damp sheath or environment. Also be sure to replace the knife in the sheath the right way up
Sandy
I noticed the re insertion wrong way too.
Great advice Sandy and a very special skill you have.
I never replace knife back in sheath in that manner, it’s just that I was operating camera a fiddling with knife simultaneously. Very observant though.
Of course, 01, In my mind it’s 02, I’m always being corrected on that, and I know it’s 01 from original purchase and receipt Sandy, but memory says 02, I have a customer called Sarah, and yet my mind says Jane every time. Go figure. Your new project sounds interesting Sandy, I’ll take a look when you’re ready.
Shane did a really good video here Sandy. I'm appreciating your knives more and more. Very fine craftsman ship there. Mark
A very interesting and informative video Shane. It's good to see your knives have been tested to the point of knowing what their breaking points are. I have a lot to learn about knives but it looks like Sandy's knife is truly top rate. Good going. I enjoyed the talk. Mark
Thanks again Mark. As always mate I’m grateful to you.
@@IsleofWightBushcraft A pleasure Shane.
Nice selection that you showed there Shane, good advice, I keep hoping to get one of Sandy’s knives 🔪
Thanks michael

Essential knife skills, you didn't demonstrate any. Is that not click bait.
It’s a series of videos which I did say in this video. The others follow on, it’s in the title, knife skills number one. The next video is knife skills #2, and so on. Hope this explains things for you so that you can understand
@@IsleofWightBushcraft i understand that but i clicked on this video expecting to see a range of knife skills being demonstrated. I found it a bit frustrating after watching the video to find there where no knife skills. I get what your doing but maybe if you'd said... Episode 1, Introduction and explanation of knives... Etc. I dunno, probably just me getting the wrong end of the stick.
