Thank you for sharing your technique the results look awesome. One thing I'll mention is when you're finishing your knife scales I've been having excellent results using Steel wool. Once I get to 400 grit I generally transition over to steal will work my way from.0 to 0000 and then hit the buffing wheel with white rouge. The nice thing about the steel wall is that it conforms to the shape of your handle easily, doesn't seem to wear out as fast because it's a three-dimensional abrasive. Finally once you get to 0000 steel wool it will actually leave a near mirror finish on your pins.
ive been binging your channel tonight....You are amazing! I am just getting into knife making as my retirement hobby, and with your inspiration, will be going heavy into the resin game. Thankyou Mr. Berg!!!
Thanks for sharing the technology and your usual informative and helpful advise and tips. I always takeaway something from your channel that I put to good use in my Knifemaking shed in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria Australia ( DownUnder - not Austria )
I was curious how that resin you used (Total Boat, I think?) holds up - if you accidentally dropped the knife would it shatter or does it stay solid. and I don't mean to actually drop a knife made with the handles... don't want you to do that. LMAO JUst curious if you did any trials with how the resin pieces hold up with this particular make of resin. : )
I’m a handle maker. I’ve been doing decorative wood designs and have started to experiment with epoxy. This effect is one I want badly but cannot get to work. The plastic wrap bonds to the epoxy each time I try. I use the same epoxy and have tried removing the wrap at 3, 24, and 48 hours. It always sticks though. I’m using costco brand wrap. Any advice would be genuinely appreciated.

Really cool idea, always liked your videos since I was researching my first forge looking up Devils Forge reviews. Where did you get those molds from?

Where did you get your mold? It looks really easy to work with.
Got these from Woodcraft. Inexpensive and seem to work well
I am struggling with a knife handle problem and I was wondering if we could email.
