Today is episode 114 of Shop Talk Tuesday on The Rivers' Experience! When we do a build series on Shop Talk Tuesday we go into further detail on how I accomplish different steps in the build process and how I choose to utilize the tools I have available.
Be sure and check out my website. I have several knives available on the site and all of them have a video (or several) showing how they were made!

I watch a lot of your posts and you make some beautiful blades but this is for me by far my ultimate favourite 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you! 👍
Another beauty, bravo.
Great materials great finish on the blade great profile and the whole thing just great job you gettimg beyter each tome
Great advice buddy thanks
Great information thanks,
Thanks for all the tips Erik!!! I've been making knives for about 7 months now, and without fail each time I'm stuck I find myself coming back to your channel, always the simplest and most easiest instructions. Keep up the excellent work, much love from South Africa.
Wheelbarrow handle material, ingenious! Perfect material for a knife that will actually be used outdoors. Love the build.
I really like the handle scales. Never thought about wheel barrow handles as a source of a scales. Great idea. Thank you for another great learning video.
Touched it!
I want that knife!!!
Like the package matching the handle.
Fit follow function
Love the knife! Great design! Thank you for your knowledge! Wheelbarrow handles do make sense. Great tip!
I absolutely love the profile of the entire blade. Great work.
And there you go Eric awesome job to go camping 🏕 and use this big boy blessings 🙌 🙏 💙
Very Nice
Now THAT is a great look!!! The intro, especially to a newbie like me, was invaluable information. Another great video, Erick!!
Definitely a sweet one! I really like the details. False edge, jimping, ...exposed lanyard hole is a nice touch. The blade finish is awesome, the handle colors are really nice with the oil finish.
Another one for the "want!" list.
Wow you nailed it. I was in hospitality for 25 years and used lots of different knives over that time. I have seen some beautiful knives that are not suited for the tasks in a professional kitchen. Conversely, one of my favorite knives is an off brand I got from the knife guy that sharpened knives for our kitchen. It was like $25 14 years ago, it’s just a 10 inch stainless chef knife with the original rosewood handle scales. But the balance is great in a pinch grip and the steel is amazing. I have abused this knife. I have done things with it I would never do with my high end knives and it is unkillable. The point is, it was created by someone who knew how it would be used and it is still going strong many years later. A knife is a tool and it needs to be made to fulfill its intended purpose. I love that you used wheelbarrow handle on that knife for that reason, it looks great as well !
Love your videos and how you explain how to Think about everything when to make a Knife 👍🏼😁 keep making your videos 👍🏼❤️ best regards from Denmark
Don’t know how you are or how long you’ve been making knives I’ve been watching your videos for awhile along with other knife makers seen the Bowie challenge but this video you just posted says a lot about you and I’m appreciating that you’d explain the process on handle choices thanks for all you do
Beautiful work.
Another great educational video and the knife turned out beautiful
I was worried when i saw the wheel barrel handle but, Man! That looks great!
Ive started making this knife from 5160 leaf spring, ive traced the profile from my tv screen by pausing one of your videos, ive baught a cheap 1 x 30 belt sander and its done a good job grinding the profile of the knife, mine wont be a tapered tang because the leaf spring im using wasnt tapered, ive also made a plunge line jig like you done in another video, tomorrow i will drill the holes and start on the bevels ive only done two knives prior to this so far its going well, thanks for the videos.
That's awesome! If you get a chance email some pictures of it or go onto the TRE Workshop Facebook page and post them.
That wood will look and feel great on the handle, I bet!
That is a REALLY sexy blade. Wheel barrow handles? Whodathunk? Perfect! Really well done man!
nice shape
I love the look of this blade, but I was so hoping you were going black and green on the scales ! Don’t get me wrong it’s still a work of art ! Nice job Erick !
Yeah you are right 👍depends on what kind of wood you take for the scales it needs some attention 🙏 I use mostly hard wax and heat it up lightly to let it soak in 5-6 times 🔥that gives a good cover and its watersafe so far 🍀learning by doing 👍and by the way I like the way you did your handles I will try this oil what you are using thx so much for your skills ☺️
Just Fuc&#g Awesome man.....fantastic design and look. Love the simplicity and beauty of it. well done
Hi Erik, any idea where i could find blade patterns I could buy....I suck at drawing...lol my knives designs never come out as well balanced. A topic i would love to master.....blade balance....tang length to blade length or is all this very artistic or functional...lol
Great, I really like harpoon blades, I am making one now with a similar size harpoon on. The only thing here which is not to my taste,is how the scales drop down on the top front. Thanks for sharing, great knife .
For outdoor and camping use which I have experience with and not knife make (hence why I am watching your videos) I may would round the lanyard edge instead of pointed.
Believe I want to copy the finish of your blade
Was it
Radio shack PCB Etchsnt Solution you had said you used and oil light after using and drying.
Thanks for the teaching Sir
Yup, 50/50 mixture of the PCB enchant and distilled water.
Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques. After you finish shaping and finishing the scales to you re-etch the exposed edges of the tang? I was trying to judge color in your final views of the knife and one part seemed bright, and another part seemed darkened as if it was etched. I have tried to re-etch the tangs of a couple of my knives after completing the handle and is difficult to keep the scales from taking on some of the color of the etchant, ferric chloride in my case.
I didn't re-etch the tang I went with a satin finish on it and the edge of the swedge. I'll show more of it next week when I sharpen it and make the sheath.
I’m not a fan of the tapered tang but man I really like everything else you did there. That’s a killer blade bud. Is it ok if I make a couple of those?
Как всегда шикарно
When you profiled the scales,did you mark them in some way first? The knife looks great! Thanks for all the knowledge you share,it’s greatly appreciated!
No, I do all my shaping by eye and feel. Typically the only time I mark them is for reference for y'all.
I like it.What kind of wood is it.It looks like white oak.
I honestly do not know, they are labeled as "Hardwood" there are so many woods that have a pepper smell. When I researched it, I just needed up having more questions lol.
Do you buff your scales after the BLO bath ? Very knice job brother.
I do it a little differently than my other scales, I use a warmed beeswax mixture and a strip of denim.
@@theriversexperience9383 I have a denim buffing wheel but haven’t used it yet.
It took me years to figure out what attributes make a a knife good for each specific task
Oddly enough, my wheelbarrow doesn’t look anywhere near that good. Any idea what species it actually is? It has a very warm appearance. Nice work.
I don't really know, they were labeled as "hardwood". When I researched "hardwood with pepper smell" I got like 10 different answers.
@@theriversexperience9383 Yeah…google gave me the same thing…guess we’ll just go with something like Barrow Oak!
@@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks Yup! All I know is that I have EDC'ed this handle material from winter into spring and it's awesome.
@@theriversexperience9383 I’ll definitely give it a try…did you get it from HD or big blue?
BTW I’m sure that your an expert on the tools you use in your craft but please turn the saw off when your inspecting your cuts on your handles please
This is a very valid point and you're right.
There's a whole lot of different knowledges that sort of have to come together to make knives- apart from the material engineering, geometry and tool use you basically end up in a constant cycle of learning that never really ends. Anyone that reckons they've figured it all out is probably full of crap. You can definitely know a lot about certain aspects but still wake up on a new day and find out something regarding a blade profile, geometry or metal that you'd never considered. The last couple of years has been hard on the learning curve as its hard to meet people in person, get some feedback on some principles and a bit of critical feedback on how your work progresses from experienced peers or customers and there's only so much objective opinion you can get from yourself or close friends/family.
Took much bulls hit babble?
Too much talky talky.
