ln this video l referbish an A.Wright bushcraft knife, l regrind the Scandi bevel , clean the blade up, replace the scales and lavish some attention on the awful sheath.
Long time listener, first time caller. Simply superb to see your process here. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of filming while doing this. What a treat for the rest of us to see. More like this please.
What can I say but that is absolutely fantastic Rob. I very nearly didn’t give it to my mate when I saw the knife, and it’s a good job I gave him the knife before I watched the video. Absolutely fantastic job done on the refurb and a new found appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into it. Big thanks again mate
I certainly have a new appreciation for knife making and the skills, time and tools involved. I really enjoy your videos, especially this one. Best to you and yours in this new year.
@@RobEvansWoodsman Everyone can go to the woods and make some buschcraft! But this is not the case with the real workshop! Where you can see the magic of creation or renovation, etc.! Thank you for the video!
Thankyou as always Rob, I love your videos but I must say that one was really great. So much work and so much equipment needed for a handmade knife I cant see how people make money. I bet ya could of carpeted a whole house in that time. You are a great teacher as well as craftsman, to say nothing of all the trouble filming it, very well done sir.
Hi Rob happy new year mate, and I hope your up to full steam soon after your bug, nice job on refurbishing the old knife, your friend will be well suited whith the result, and a good knife to start bushcrafting whith. Thanks for another interesting video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
There’s a video on TH-cam of Michael Harrison making one of these. He’s shown pinning the handles on using brass collets and no epoxy. I have one of these, but it’s a one off flat ground version with a dyed, stabilised burl handle. Still pinned without epoxy, I believe!
Thanks for sharing this video. Really interesting followings your work. You did a fantastic work with it and it looked very nice in its sheath. Well done!
" Their own brand of Sheffield made Bowie knife, when you see them in person are breath-taking. Also, a very, very popular knife is their take on the classic Bushcraft blade. They use 01 carbon tool steel, hardened to 56/58 Rockwell. Crafting them with Stag antler, Buffalo horn, Rosewood and of course the fabulous Snake wood handle scales. John showed me the steel blanks used to make the 01 carbon steel Bushcraft knives. The stag handles are cut from natural stag gathered from a sustainable source in the UK. The blade is 4.5mm thick, providing excellent strength, weight and balance." Hey Rob, copied a little bit from an article on A Wright & Son from Sheffield. I suspect the reference to the bushcraft knife matches the one you refurbished. Earlier in the article it mentioned the ferro rod holder on the sheath was an extra option . Nothing like a flu bug to kick off the new year :~/ Hope your back in good health my friend. Thx for the great vid!
Hey Rob, dat was een prachtige video ... ik denk dat Dan dit mes een zeer goede "facelift" vind !! Mooi werk weer ... grtz. Janneman uit the Netherlands
Excellent refurbishment mate,well done 👍🏻 it makes a relatively simple knife a whole lot more exclusive and a very fine working tool, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Fuck, I always smile when I see a new video of yours: the contents are a certainty! Facelift is a very good album by Alice in Chains. I know you're into metal, maybe into grunge too. I'm an old fart, you know. Hope my quote is a nice advice to listen to "man in the box" ;) Thank you, man! I do appreciate your videos!
Rob, that was a great instructional video. Really enjoyed it, very different from your usual ones. Question : when is Col Rad Brad USPS (Rtd) going to be making a return visit to our screens ?
Personally I'd go with a vegetable based oil inside then wax outside, if it's good enough for boots it's good enough for a sheath, beeswax based wax is excellent.
As a man who’s opinion I value; how do you rate these Arthur Wright Bushcraft knives Rob? I’ve been looking to buy one for a while, but there’s very little info online about them.
@@RobEvansWoodsman I have done a few on other people’s Damascus blanks, and I normally leave a little protrusion and peen them over. A real pain in the butt.
Long time listener, first time caller. Simply superb to see your process here. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of filming while doing this. What a treat for the rest of us to see. More like this please.
Funny thing is that I really don't like making workshop videos!
I find the process of filming when I'm working makes very slow progress.
I enjoyed seeing you at work in your shop Rob. You’re a great craftsman!
That was a damn fine restore! I would be happy and proud to have that knife.
Fantastic job Rob! 👍
Thanks mate.
Great production Rob! Very informative content! Keep up the good work!
Cheer's 🙏

I love watching an old blade get resurrected, that high scandi will be awesome.
It's not that high, it was pretty thick stock.
What a Fantastic insight on how you refurb a knife & sheath rob 🙌👌 And a very nice Gift for your friend 👏👏👏👏👏👌👍

My pleasure Dan.
Very well done, great to see the transition and then gifted. Very nice gesture. 💪
Dan insisted on paying me for my efforts when I gave it to him
@@RobEvansWoodsman I know I watched the white vid. 👍

Cheers mate
Very handsome knife ,brilliant refurb
Cheers mate

my favorite series! From the workshop!
I hate making this type of video 🤣🤣

Thanks for sharing the process, the end result was fantastic!
Fabulous job Rob and most instructive 👍🍻
Thanks much for this video Rob, I learned a few things watching you and it's much appreciated. Stay warm and Well. :)

I could have earned about £200 on the carpets in that time!
I always love seeing old stuff getting a new life. Pity it can't happen to old(er) men :-). Great video, thanks Rob!
Sheds had an upgrade mate, hope to see you soon. Grand job there Rob.
Cheers Steve, nice to see that you're still watching!😜
Hopefully you and the family are doing well.
Beautiful job. Very well done! Awesome work.
Thanks
Happy new year was really nice to see a old knife get a new lease of life 👍👍
lucky lad who gets that one, a corker very nice indeed.

Wish i had such skills,, Beautiful Knife

You could see what happens when no epoxy is used, rust!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Really interesting followings your work. You did a fantastic work with it and it looked very nice in its sheath. Well done!
Guess what knife I'm working on tomorrow?
@@grahamwinter5536 nope, the gentleman above's knife.
@@RobEvansWoodsman 👍😊
Sounds fantastic mate!

Cheers mate, these Wright knives have some easy to fix flaws .
Excellent how to video Rob, loved it. Happy New Year!
The new knife, well done Rob!
Dear Rob
A center punch is what I use to keep the drill on course.
Cheers

I cocked that one up!!
Hey Rob,

Mooi werk weer ...
grtz. Janneman uit the Netherlands
Dan was very pleased with it.
great job rob 👍
Yes! I did hope ypu would remove that ricasso. But I did hope ypu would go another 2-3 mm. Beautiful result and good information!
I thought I'd taken it further black, huge ricaso on these A.Wright knives.
👏Brilliant Rob, lovely restoration and improvement on a classic design 😊👌👍 All of the very best for 2023.
Beautiful result Rob,good for a few more years use!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Wow what a gift! I always enjoy the design and build process. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks Rob
Excellent refurbishment mate,well done 👍🏻 it makes a relatively simple knife a whole lot more exclusive and a very fine working tool, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Wow Rob! That was excellent stuff. Thanks for making it. It was a fascinating video for the uninitiated like me. Please make more of them ! 👍👍👍
Outstanding job, alot of work. The finished project was worth it. Thank you 😊

Thank you, man! I do appreciate your videos!
I'm not into Grunge and never have been but I did get to see Alice in Chains around '92 when they toured with Megadeth.
Rob, that was a great instructional video. Really enjoyed it, very different from your usual ones. Question : when is Col Rad Brad USPS (Rtd) going to be making a return visit to our screens ?
I can't answer that unfortunately because I don't know.
Fantastic end result Rob. What’s good for maintaining a leather sheath.
That sheath is as dry as a nun's chuff!
Don't get them wet!
@@RobEvansWoodsman so what’s good to treat them with?
Personally I'd go with a vegetable based oil inside then wax outside, if it's good enough for boots it's good enough for a sheath, beeswax based wax is excellent.
Hello rob
Thankx Rob. So is this workshop what replaced the old shed?
Yes mate, it's a room I rent from the council.
That doesn’t look like a Wright’s sheath. I’d bet it’s aftermarket.
Nice one Rob. Did you ever put new scales on your F1?
I rehandled an F1 years ago and an S1x but I haven't done anything with the F1X elmax .
As a man who’s opinion I value; how do you rate these Arthur Wright Bushcraft knives Rob? I’ve been looking to buy one for a while, but there’s very little info online about them.
I think they are shit, buy a casstrom instead.
@@RobEvansWoodsman thanks Rob, I knew you’d say it how it is!
So, the only thing holding the pins in place is the epoxy?
Yes and it's not going anywhere unless it gets very hot.
@@RobEvansWoodsman I have done a few on other people’s Damascus blanks, and I normally leave a little protrusion and peen them over. A real pain in the butt.
