Quite interesting to see how the sandpaper removes material and reveals the final handle shape
I have to say that for the quantity of work that goes into a jacklore...the finished cost is very very cheap considering the man hours gone in. Other very well known makers charge almost double.
Best knives on the market IMHO.
All made in a shed too 😉
I can remember you saying that you got into knife making as you wanted a Ray Mears knife. Yours have surpassed them! What true works of art from a master cutler Sandy.
Always fascinating Sandy. Always a work of art.
Happy Christmas to you and Mandy, Anne and Chris - and Carmen.
See you next year.

With the last listings of process times for everything you do in creating a knife, weeks days and months, put you prices up, a top notch product at minimum wages! Sandy,dear friend, you’re worth so much more .....Cam
I have to say I completely agree, for the sheer brilliant craftsmanship, and hours and hours put into each one of these masterpieces, Sandy is selling himself short, they should cost more. If I was ever lucky enough to get the opportunity to purchase one I would be paying more whether he was asking for it or not.
Nice video, you are a hard worker with good skills. P.S. I love your music. Would be nice if you could list the artist and titles. Thanks for posting. Keep up the great content. Jas from New Zealand.
Despite having watched each and every stage of the various processes many times Sandy, I am still amazed at how you manage to create such perfect knives and one of the elements of that is your ability to create handles with such perfect symmetry and with such apparent ease, particularly when you are pretty much just eyeballing. Do you ever mess up a handle? Wonderful stuff.
It's true. People do not understand what it takes to make a custom handmade knife. Factory knives are just that. Factory knives. Not much character, not always pretty. The next time someone complains about the cost of one of my knives I'll show them this video. As always Sandy, beautiful work.
Made to look easy, years of experience does that.
Jack, is it comforting to know that your knives will outlive you? Probably by over 100+years.
Best work ever on RUclips so far
I am trying that shape as we speak
As someone who works with wood, I love to see you go through the stages of building something from nothing to a masterpiece! There is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment knowing you did your best and that the new owner will appreciate it for years to come. From my Family to yours, we wish you all (including Carmen), a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!
Stay safe and healthy!
Como siempre gran trabajo Sandy!! Gran obra de arte, tus cuchillos y su forma de darles vida... gracias por seguir compartiendo!!!
I love those mosaic pins they really begin to show thru the process.
A beautiful masterpiece and I’m speechless. Regards, Chris.
Just blown away sandy , every time I see the effort you put into your knives & leatherwork and your daily chores & pastimes 👏👏👏👏👏 utmost excellence 👌🇬🇧
Outstanding Sandy!
I would agree with Cameron. Don't undersell yourself! (I would guess ) Alan Wood would want a grand for a similar knife! Your knives are every bit as good!
Take some time out over Xmas and chill!
TTFN.
Excellant vid as always sandy. Burning the midnight oil is definately a major part of knifemkaking. Your either up early or working late, or both!
Can you use wood that has checked/cracked if it's being stabilized? I'v seen people on RUclips fill cracks with resin then sand. Thought it would look cool.
"clap clap" impressive how there is no shortcuts. Everything is done as well as possible. From heat treat to stabelising the wood. Rly impressive
A master at his craft! Just works of art!
Good job. Like your realistic videos out of the shop floor! Thank you. Regards, Andreas
Lovely blade, don’t you get bored of making the same blades all the time? Never thought of making something else? Bowie? leather stacked handled knife? Was just wondering, what knife have you ever thought I’ll like that knife, might make it one day
speechless: simply amazing to admire a small step in such a long process to create a work of art. Merry Christmas to you, your family and Carmen
Amazing... I wish some day I can have the opportunity of buying one from you!!
Worth every second of time and effort. Those scales are popping. That ride out on the Himalayan worked wonders 👍 Thanks for sharing. p.s Now just give me the heads up on when that knife is for sale 😂😂
As always great job Sandy! Great work of art, his knives and his way of giving them life ... thanks for continuing to share !!!
Hello, wonderful knife and handle. Can you show us how you would do it without the expensive belt grinder. I mean with rasps and files. I don't want to sound negative but we all do not have access to an expensive machine like that.
Could you spend time on how you season your wood? Cabinet and so forth? Your video on stabilizing was very clear.
Nice video that- thanks. Must take bloody ages going through those grits, I imagine.
Sandy you're such a talented man. I would love to own one of your knives one day.
What oil would you recommend to maintain a carbon steel blade, preferably food safe?
I thought the song was leaning on the everlasting arms, lol. After a minute or two I was like "wait I know this tune." I love the shape the handle came out to good job.
A beautiful work of art. I have no doubt about its ability to function as you intended. Anyone would be proud to own such a knife.
another cracking video, merry christmas to you and your family, hope the new dog gets some turkey treats (or beef)
May I please purchase one of your knives Mr . Thank you if you take time to read this. John.
I for one would watch the whole process from start to finish. Fascinating stuff.
Now no one will be able to ignore that a knife finished in this way contains the soul and much more of its creator , a part of his life with you forever. Congratulations on the consistency in all this sincere work Master Sandy 👍
Hi! What is the diameter of the wheel you use to shape the curve of the handle at 1:13? Thank you!
Could you please let me know how to get in touch with you to order a knife as I'm 70 and not much good with the net thanks
We are all watching a true artist at work, thank you sandy great video . Dave chubb
merry xmass,ive learnt so much from you,thanks walter
Indeed, your customers are buying a piece of your time.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Always enjoy seeing you work Sandy. ATB
Very nice, Happy Christmas to you and yours.
I could watch this all day and not get bored. Stunning work as always Sandy! All the best to you and yours! Pyro.
Absolutely amazing
Beautiful work; thanks. J.
How much cost the knive? Amazing!
Beautiful work and product.
Good looking knife
Clean an well done 1 at a time.only way to do them...🙏
Sandy, i am in absolute awe of your skills.
Nice job there sandy is that my knife
Sandy, you are a true craftsman.....
Truly beautiful, functional art.
This is therapy.
I made a handle for a blade made by Chris Matthews. I now realise how much equipment I should have had. Three months it took me, using a small carving knife, round file and emery paper. Doesn't look anywhere near as beautiful as yours.
I live in a flat and so I can't use power tools, I buy in ready made blades, fit my own handles, and do all my handle shaping with hand tools
I use hand stitched rasps, such as those sold by www.workshopheaven.co.uk They are expensive but as I haven't spent money on a belt sander etc, I don't mind paying for good hand tools.
Also useful, but cheaper, is a shoemakers rasp from Machine Mart
Amazing,so handy.
What a beautiful work of art
Beau travail et superbe couteau, bravo à vous....
Beautiful knife.
What finish did you use
Sublime as ever Sandy.
Music sucks! Nice knife.
Nice work, can you protect your hands someway to reduce the soreness of the hands. All the best.
I'm a maker also of 20 years....no short cuts with the hands in knife makeing.,if you truly do it by hands only.in this age if cnc machines the art of hand made knives is becoming a dyeing art...but it only truly hand made one at a time..only way to build a knife IMO. Good video
They're a work of art.
Someday.....someday.......
Beautiful as always Sandy ! Very nice! My perfect knife I’d want from you would be a classic with tapered tang, with massa birch scales, red liners and tri pins..... I’m not far off my savings now! I honestly intend to buy one of your knives as a celebration of paying off my mortgage so hopefully some time next year! Please keep up the great work brother! Best wishes 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎
Fantastic!!!!👏👏
Beautiful tune
You're attention to detail is epic, Sandy. I'm making a few knives at the moment (for me) I'm slowly working away at it. I found your videos really useful and informative. Thanks for sharing, take care mate 👍
Nicely done 👍🏻
Amazing ❤
Night Zeb!
Masterpiece
Nice
Beautiful
Que c est beau !
Amazing
Master
Beautiful work as usual, so relaxing to watch.
Wishing you a happy Christmas Sandy.
Regards
Darren
Great Video of all the awesome hard work going on the workshop. Also really enjoy the background music. Great job Sandy! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Outstanding craftmanship!
Beautiful works of art made to be used!
Thank you for sharing!
Always enjoyable just seeing the powdered dust reveal the Jacklore design in motion ...
Metal, wood, leather... wow! Sandy you are a tue Craftsman.
One day I'll own one of your 'masterpieces', but until then I'll have to admire from affar.
Your getting the hang of this knife making malarkey. It's a pleasure watching a genuine expert at his craft. Just the eye of the tiger and the force guiding you.
If you ever have a spare one for sale I'm just down the road in gods country. I have saved up for a woodlore but I would rather wait for one of your unique beauties. My SFK 10 has plenty of life left so no dramas. Just stay a happy knife maker and leave the rest to fate.🤙
Dougal says it's time for a walk.
Amazing piece of work there Sandy the handle looks absolutely fantastic.
An absolutely astonishing upload which really does show off Sandy’s skills and the very long processes of arriving at the finished product. Now to the nitty gritty, would I want another knife made by someone else ? Absolutely not ! A jacklore is not just for Christmas it’s for life. The best of the very best IMO. Really makes me sad when you see them up for sale on the Facebook page two weeks after the guy has just got it. Remember this is a huge part of Sandy’s life gone into making just one knife which is why any jacklore I own will stay with me to the day I die and is absolutely stunning and so very special to me. ♥️😊
Beautiful workmanship!! Thank you for sharing. The time line info was a real eye opener!! Happy Holidays!
This is why I’m so grateful for owning one of your knives. The effort you put into every stage is admirable. The knife is a pleasure to use and the quality is apparent. When I use the knife out in the woods sometimes one of your videos comes to mind and I just have to stop and appreciate the knife for a moment. I know a lot of your knives never get used by their owners. I can’t help but feel that some of your efforts go to waste when the knife is just sitting idle in a drawer. The comfort of the handle, the superb edge geometry and dialed in heat treat needs to be experienced in use to be fully appreciated. That is of course just the opinion of some random dude on RUclips 😝 Anyways, needed to get that rant out 😁 Excellent work 👏👏👏
One year later... I've made lots of knives, and they just keep getting better and better, partly from watching your videos Sandy. The only magic to this is time, it takes lots of time to make a hand crafted knife. Each blade is a journey, ending with the most perfect knife I can make.
This is why I am so ~thankful~ for your time and your hard work you spend on these works of brilliant art!!!❤️ ... My respects to you, I truly mean that!! ,,,So you know, the Jacklore Classic has landed!! 🙂 All the best!!🙏
Educational, enjoyable and quite relaxing to watch with fine music!
Fascinating to watch. True craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful treat in seeing such a skilled artist/craftsman at work. It is so fascinating to watch the masterpieces form right in front of one's eyes. Your shop is such a magical place Sandy. It is where a legacy of a very proud and skilled man has made (and is making) his mark. You have become a legend in the respected knife making circles my friend. Thanks for letting tag along with you while you work. Take care, see you on the next one. Please don't do too many of those night time sessions at the grinders, you need to rest sometimes.
You have the patience of a saint Sandy, and, an amazing amount of skill. Beautiful knives.
That is absolutely gorgeous, my friend. It has been amazing to watch you progress since that first knife that you filmed.
A joy to watch a craftsman plying his trade. beautiful work as always Sandy
What’s the name of the breathing rig you have Sandy, starting to feel that my pulled up t-shirt is not quite up to standard...
So amazing the detail and work that goes into the final product. Pure gems that will be cherished forever. Those knives honestly have a soul in them and would be considered your best friend when on your hip or in use. Have a blessed day
Brilliant workmanship and I totally understand the time it takes to build one of these masterpieces. Would love to own one . Another great video
