Great video and very helpful. I like how your videos are clean and simple, not over produced. Thank you.
Well thank you!
enjoyed it thank you ,it opens your mind to endless possibilities of materials ,and more important regardless of material is good working habits to get into
Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!
Loved the design. Nice guide!!!!
Thank you!!!
Awesome video Matt! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the video...very useful and inspiring...
Thank you for watching!
looks awesome man, when you where talking about changing the angle when truing up the scales, the way I do it is I'll put blue painters tape on the back of each scale then a little drop of ca glue and glue them together, I make the angle cut then true them up glued together, both sides of the spacer . that way I know they are all symmetrical. then take a razor blade and pop them apart and glue them up. I also glue the g10 to my spacer piece before glueing to the scales because I've had them float up.
Very good idea!!!!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Next time I do segmented scales I’ll epoxy the scales first and then on to the liners like you said. I typically do it all at the same time and it’s difficult to get and clamp everything together.
Yes! It definitely turns out better for me doing it in two different glue ups! Thanks for watching!
Mat a great help! My next tool will be a 9 inch disc sander with a VFD….👌😎
Very good plan! I love mine!
great video matt appreciate it Mark
Thank you for watching!!
Thanks for the tips! You really need a dust collector for all of your handle scale grinding. Nobody is allowed to grind handle material in my shop without my dust collector being turned on.
Yea I’m planning one out for the new shop for sure!👊👊
Great video on this!!!
Thank you!
Handles look awesome dude 👍 I almost got some of that tusk at blade show but I chickened out it cost to much for me to screw up LOL. Can't wait to see what they are going on
The prices are just crazy for that tusk! But so worth it!
Glad I watched the whole video, I was going to comment that I was surprised you didn't use a liner. I do this EXACTLY the same way as you BUT I use a .062 micarta or g10 liner during initial glue up. Don't know if it matters as to when it's done but yeah, always with the liners for me, and you too it looks like. thanks bro, great video.
Thank you for watching!!!
Great video.
Thanks buddy!
well done !
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips!!! Pozdrawiam
Thanks for watching!
Look great
Thank you!
Very helpful video. Why don't you glue liners on during this part of the process?
Quick question why when you cut your main scale piece of angle why did you not place them on top of each other so when you sand them the angles would be identical, if anything changed it seems like clapping those two on their sides together and sanding them at the same time within sure you have always a perfect angle? I see lots of people do this with hot glue, wax, single side clear, painters or masking tape with super glue or Apoxsee or double sided tape which all is dissolved by acetone having and see them do all four cut pieces to ensure all four pieces are the same angle and sand at the same time.
That definitely would work! I’ll try it!
We learn a lot from you thanks for the time you put into this. How many pins will you put in and where would you place them. Greetings all the way from South Africa
Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the time to review the steps in making handles. I was curious, Would you share where you purchased the Block of tusk from?
Check the raffir usa website!
Appreciate you always sharing your art, you make a great teacher. Have you ever tried vulcanized fiber for liners? If so, what are your thoughts on working with it?
I never have 🤔 not even sure what that is lol
I've used it several times. I'm not an expert, but it seems like it works well.
Mammoth is by far (not even close) my favorite handle material. I will need more experience before trying to work with it. I would be devastated if I messed it up.
Handles are hard. I cut 5 tries off my last knife and I still don't like the handle I have on it. I'm gonna cut it back off and try again soon. It's a hidden tang bowie.
It is awesome material!
What kind of wet tile saw do you use to cut scales?

Nice & your face looks different...cool..🙂🙂
Haha I shaved
How much would you charge just to do a drop on scale. That white alone looks sweet. Great work. 👍🏿
Email me sometime and we can talk!
Where did you get the burlap scales?
True north micarta 👊👍
