Great video, mate!! I just have a question..... do you epoxy hidden tang handles at all? Or is it just the case of having a nice tight tang hole that is enough to keep the handle on the blade? I've been going down the hidden tang rabbit hole...... and there seem to be lots of different ways, lol. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I don’t know the answer to your question myself but we have another video on another knife maker working with a hidden tang here:

Cracking knife and a really interesting video. I always learn something good from the makers Vinz features :)
Cheers Rob and really delighted to see you here again dude! 🎉🎉🎉
cool job i really like your descriptions thx
Hi again Tobias! Thanks for the comment! Hope to see you in one of our other videos again soon!
Great video
.I have made a few custom Wa handles myself and drilling out the hole was the hardest part
Hi Samuel! Thanks for the comment! I’ve never made a Wa handle myself but I can imagine drilling a centre hole is not something you can do once and be great at it. Like any craft, practice makes perfect! Thanks again bud!

Great step by step,this video and the whole series with him. 🙏👏👏❤️
Cheers Shaun! Harry is an amazing maker! Don’t forget to follow him on Instagram!
You need to get yourself some Australian hardwoods if you want wood that sinks, some Ringed Gidgee or Buloke, both look fantastic and are two of the densest and hardest commercially available woods in the world (Buloke actually is the hardest). You can also make your own handle broaches easily, you can buy double sided jigsaw blades which are identical to the ones in those broaches, just make your own handle. Kincrome K21751 or Spyder 300010
Oooo very interesting share! Thanks for this Ben! I’ll have a good research on these stuff you’ve shared! Thanks!
Thanks Ben! That's a really useful comment, gidgee is definitely in my top 5, never had any buloke though, I'll have to keep my eyes open. The bit about saw blades is really useful too, thanks
@@harrytgough9101 If you get the extra long, it will leave a bit more meat to attach a handle.
Just came across your videos Harry, very interesting but more even interesting is my name is Gary Gough and i'm from North Queensland, Australia. My Grand Father and his brothers are originally from England. Just wondering if we are related?
Why use a partial tang? Expensive alloys is understandable, yes. But even then, why not join a cheaper alloy for a full tang? Just asking, where I've had bad luck with partial tangs.
the color filter on this does such a bad job on faces, looks good on materials tho. The color could use some work. Good video tho!
I like the way you work & present, so had to sub. looking forward to more vids. Good luck.
Does the knife handle thickness vary quite a bit from one knife type to the next? How do you decide how thick you want to make it?
Absolutely great video and content, thank you!
Cheers buddy! It was lovely to speak with you the other day mate and looking forward to speaking with you again soon!
oh nice thats hot i figured out to do it but i use a wood file instead and i always end up taking off too much handle material lol
Small tip but quite clever isn’t it? Thanks for taking time to comment!
@@UKBladeshow yess the parallel marking gives unparalleled precision!
Hahahaha
Do you pressure fit your handles?
What is that tool marking the 45’s facets. The tool with the pencil? Minute 16. Tknx for the video!
It's called a dial indicator stand, it's a machinists measuring tool, mine was very cheap, dose a great job
In Australia I use an oil that is food safe.
Your methods are pretty similar to mine for a permanent handle, but as far as a "Wa" handle, i taper the tang, and split a dowel to do a compression fit inside of a single, circular drill hole.
Is that austenitic stainless over monocore? Looked like some carbon jump there at the end. Sanmai/laminating is by far my favorite method.
Hi again Jack! We couldn’t remember what kind of stainless steel was used but yes, it was a san mai sandwich construction
again some great tips, thanks, and knife looks brilliant
Cheers Andy! And yes, Harry did a fantastic job with the knife and performs really well and looks amazing! Let’s help him sell it!
Ideally you want to use gloves when finishing your handles. Whether that be with grinding or oiling, you're always going to have some kind of grime on your hands and fingers when working on anything in the shop. Even your natural skin oils can throw off the finish. However, other than that, everything about this is great! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for the input Widney! Appreciate you taking time to comment!
@@UKBladeshow of course! Thank you for sharing valuable information! I appreciate what you do :)
Great video
Thanks for watching Don!
Now that's what I call getting a handle on things😄😄 thanks for the advice I am very grateful.
Happy to help!
Well done
Thanks for taking to comment Richard!
very well explained, i will try it out. love to renovate old japan knifes Rg Bernd
Thanks for the comment! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the series too? In case you want to binge watch them, here it is: th-cam.com/play/PLFssspwgISv8_4NoYI4wqEMWzwpVwvEjw.html
I am also sold on the tru oil. Have had good results. Good video
Cheers Craig! Glad to see you found the video valuable!
Do you have your own show where you share your knife/sword making skills?
super useful, thanks man !
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting. Thank you.
Very welcome
Good video..lot of info there 👍
Thanks bud! Which part of the knife making process do you enjoy watching the most from other makers?
@@UKBladeshow got to be sticking Damascus in a bit of ferric 😁
You know what, that’s A fantastic idea! I will collate videos of makers doing a ferric chloride or coffee etch! Thanks for that suggestion mate!
@@UKBladeshow just on with one now..check my channel 😁all the best Lincoln 🤙👍
Thanks friend. Great makin'! Great tips. I forge buckskinner knives mostly, but so many things apply either way. It is good to find a young craftsman who will share his craft with anyone.
generally you can ask almost every knifemaker and he/she will answer all your questions 😉
but yeah, this unasked and awesome explanation of wisdom is absolutely awesome to have and see
personally I'm trying to get everything milled and therefore all perfectly square and nicely fit p
Like 3co said, most knife makers are happy to share ideas and tips to help each other out! What a great community we have!
Thank you thoroughly enjoyed
Cheers Mark! We have some very cool handle-making videos with Jonas Johnson (Sweden) coming soon so hopefully you'll be looking forward to that too!
Thank you. Well done
Thanks for the comment Russell!
Are you using stabilized wood or raw wood?
Hi Richard. This was raw wood that he used but you can use either or, depending on preference
Wonderful video!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking time to leave us some feedback!
