I watch other knife makers hoping to find little tips and tricks. I like the tape idea on your locating pins. I fight those all the time. Tight so they stay equals no epoxy. Losses enough for epoxy, and they fall through. The tape is a simple salutation. Thanks for taking us along with the build.
Thanks for using that steel. I just ordered some from Pops (their advertising in your channel worked 🙂) for some knife projects on a whim, was curious how it would turn out.
Coincidentally i just finished up a fun side project I've been working on for a while. a viking style bearded hatchet/tomahawk. I used 1/4" thick 1095, vintage micarta scales with matching micarta pins. actually came out pretty nice, was a fun new challenge. Pretty sure i have enough 1095 left over that i could make one of these.
The hatchets turned out really cool!
Right on!
I finally have all my raw material to glue up my nightfall blank ! Excited to do more work
Tons of great little hints!
Very well explained. Oftentimes, these basic techniques are overlooked, and suddenly, the work gets ruined.
Thanks for sharing!
I will definitely be ordering some steel from pops.
Really enjoy these videos. Thank you.
Picked up some 8670 from Pop’s and used it for the first time this weekend. I loved working with it.
8670 is some tough stuff! I think only S5 is tougher. You'd practically have a hard time breaking it even straight out of the quench

Great work dude 😉😉

excellent job!
Maybe some paracord wrapped on those skeleton hatchets would be a nice addition by the future owners.
would love to see you do a review of Grizzly T32459 new belt grinder
Amazing video - as usual! Could you link to the cool drill patent clamp ? (And drill oil you use)?

3:26 That's what she said.
stick tang are easier in terms of pin places. can be the most difficult thing. shitty drill press !
Ha. Has a CNC mill but a worthless drill press. Dude that table flex is awful.
