i admire your restraint. haha thanks mate
Lol wiley. Never really understood the whole FIRST! thing. so what, you want a prize or something
@@NeilGraham.I.M.F ikr.
Awesome work! Love the knife!
Thanks mate!
That is a knife that i would be proud to have in my pocket ! Great Job !
Thanks mate!
That's a wonderful knife, and thanks for anticipating all my questions and answering them in the video!
Haha glad I was able to pre-empt the questions accurately!
Dude that came out mint. Cheers for the inspiration and the walk through. I'm gunna give this a try for my next knife I do.
No worries! Have fun, it's a great challenge!
Another great video with morning coffee. Great job as usual. Have a good day.
Thanks mate, you too!
Great video mate. Very interesting to see all the steps. Microphone sounds great. And it’s a cool knife too
Thanks mate!
This is a fantastic build and video mate. You made it really easy for us peons to understand. What I love most is the lack of fabrication tools needed in this. Most other folding knife videos use lazer/water jet cut parts and mills and lots of little shim washers. Thanks for making folding knives approachable. Would that back spacer still technically be considered a back spring though as it does provide that bit of flex when opening and closing?
Thanks mate! Accessibility is my jam! In this case the back spacer doesn't really impinge on the pivot, so it can't really be called a back spring, though with a couple of tweaks it certainly could!
Just started watching, and loved the tip on vinegar. I will be using this for the future
Yeah it's useful, especially for pieces that are particularly scaled up or covered in borax glass
If you heat the vinegar, you can get a very fast action.
Drill first. Then saw open the copper :). Nicely done!
Haha yeah, thought about that after, note for next time
That is super cool! I've never seen a friction folder like that before. Also that grinding jig is genius i always have a hard time holding little pieces.
Yeah the rezolas are pretty cool, thr jig would be better if the "pin" through the pivot was actually screwed into the support bar to stop the blade from being tipped.
Nice video :) I'm glad I saw that heat patina thing before I did the glue up on my little copper-ferruled carving knife :D
That said, you just had to tease with the "handsanded on a surface plate to get it perfectly flat and parallel" thing! :D
I guess there wasn't enough interest in the "attaining flatness" videos to justify making the one about getting things parallel. I totally understand that.. No point making videos if enough people aren't interested, but it's a shame... I haven't had any luck finding anything on that anywhere.
I have a piece of simple damascus that I got to make on a blacksmithing course I attend that I'm planning to make into a pocket knife. The biggest problem I have at this point is getting the plank flat and parallel using hand tools. Your "Attaining flatness part 1" video solves the first part, but I'm still not sure how to get it parallel. All I've thought of so far is using a mixture of careful marking and filing, and a file holding jig to keep the file a set distance from a surface with the plank on it. Hopefully it'll get me close enough!
Copper looks good! I do a lot of similar patinas when making copper cuffs.
Cheers mate, another good one is heating to dull red and quenching in borax solution (borax and water)
Great work Sam! I wasn't aware that you had done folders in the past but it certainly shows in your work that it's not your first. Love the look. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Haha it is my first actually, thanks!
Looks great !
Thanks!
Didn't know about using vinegar to soften scale. Definitely stealing that idea :)
Haha I'm by no means the originator, but it is super handy!
Amazing job. It really looks great
Great... Lovely little knife!!
damn i need to make such one too, i did a friction folder of a similiar pattern but never with a spacer damn, happy i am going to stand in the forge today
Haha yeah do it! They're great fun. Cheers mate
@@SamTownsBladesmith well got some projects to be done first, thinking about filming them partialy, but only will upload on bitchute bc of yt restrictions on lengths, etc.
will be a massive parry dagger or rather a parry sword
That is just plain groovy, all the way around nice.
Thankyou 😁
Great quality work Sam. Really enjoyed that.
Cheers mate
Beautiful blade mate. I like it a lot 😬
Thanks mate!
Sam it turned out very unique and beautiful. Love seeing your videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my Sam. Can't wait to see ur next videos my friend. Forge On. God Bless.
Thanks mate!
Looks great Sam!
Thanks mate
Finallyyyyy!!! I was waiting for this video to be posted!!! Yay!! Good job Sam!!
Grazie mile!
LoL I feel so dumb now for asking if it was based on a Pattada now that I see you mentioned it in the video. To be fair to me I asked that before I saw the video and only the thumbnail. Cheers
Beautiful.. just a heads up.. it’s resolZa not resola
Grazie di aver portato la patata,forza Sardegna ❤️
Super ! Like👍👍👍
Thanks!
tsk tsk tsk. No washers...
Haha
He’s old school....
