They were fun to file and didn't take that long! Maybe half an hour. Not bad considering I spent an hour or 2 deciding whether I should measure and mark everything or just wing it and see what happens. As you can see I went for the latter. LOL
Great video, awesome skills, very funny parts, stroking the knife and making the sandwich killed me. LMAO!!!!!! Why a bread knife? IDK !!!! Love it! Thank you.
@@PickinPins That makes me happy to hear that. I am trying to get my son interested to make a knife and he is slowly getting there. I wish you guys the best of luck! Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can offer any advice although I have to be honest I am still a learner myself!
Can you please help me here Dave? A very interesting video indeed. 👍 I saw that you put (then 2-part expoxy glued), what looked like white card, to the burl/resin pieces in the early part of the video. But this can't be right because you left the 'white card' on in the final finish. Perhaps it was some other material (and i missed it on the video) and it was fabricated this way because the epoxy glue wouldn't take directly between the metal tang(?) and the wood/resin handle pieces? Now I'm just guessing. I'm interested because as a small woodcraft hobbyist one of my friends had asked me to make a wooden handle for a knife he has. Something I've never undertaken before: so I watched your video with great enthusiasm, and I don't want to screw this up !
Thank you for the comment 🙂 Are you talking about this part at 6:45 ? That white material is called G10 and is used as a decorative liner in the knife handle. It is optional and you do not need that to glue your handle scales to the tang. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching 👊ps- I ordered the 1mm G10 on eBay
When u do the scales off the knife do u ever sand to much and have to GRind on the knife to fix I have always been scared to do it That way cause i feel i i would always sand to much on one and it would end play cat and mouse with it
Haha I get what you mean but I don't think I need to worry. The drive belt slips before it can do any real damage. Haven't had any scary moments with the drill press yet. Thanks for watching mang. Edit: Sorry, it's not the drive belt that slips. It's that I only half tighten the chuck on the drill so if it grabs, the bit just spins in the chuck instead of ripping the blade out of my hands. I appreciate your concern and your comment is a good message for others watching this video. Yes, I admit to not doing things the safest way sometimes
Very nice knife ❤
Wow i was surprised when you hand filed the grooves in. Nice knife good luck
Thank you bro. I appreciate it 🙏
wowwwww.. great job! The detail in the handle is awesome!! I love those resin handles
Holy serrations, Batman! Nice job 👍 I need to find me a saw blade.

@@DaveMakesKnives Yeah man! You deserve it. My son and I have just started making knives. We are having a blast. 👍

you're an artist Dave, great work! I love watching your videos, so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. So cool to see how it's made.
Thanks Jon! I appreciate it brother!!
I laughed when you measured your roast beef. Enjoyed the video. You could win forged in fire, your that good.
😁
The video is 1 year old. And it’s brilliant!
Thanks bro

Beautiful knife. Never seen anyone weigh out mayonnaise or honey mustard before…little OCD maybe? Darlington, South Carolina USA
Or perhaps it was a joke. Try not to take things so seriously...
😊
Bebe cool

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure I understand your question though
Bro, buy a vice for your drill. That sh*t is so dangerous drilling holes in steel without one. Knife looks great.
