  • Making this folding pocket knife was such an awesome experience - thanks to Master Smith Shawn McIntyre. He invited me and a couple of other guys down to his workshop in Melbourne, for the week to make these stunning little knives. I learned so much and can't thank Shawn enough for such a wonderful time.

    This is why I love your channel Neil. You are constantly pushing yourself to learn new creative techniques and methods. You make it look so easy, which is a testament to your talent and skill. Thank you for sharing this adventure on your holiday. You could have very easily done all of this off-camera, and I, for one, greatly appreciate you sharing your experience. Cheers!

      Thanks very much Marcus! I reckon that's what I enjoy most about making, learning new techniques and I definitely learned a lot this week. I almost didn't film it and that's why I didn't have my equipment with me but it's quite surprising what you can get out of a phone (even if it isn't the best). :)

      @@PaskMakes The quality was great, and it would be hard to tell it was all hand-held phone work if you didn't say something.

    The “Horizontal grinding” marks on all edges is something that I teach all young fabricators that I work with because it removes the chances of stress risers in all the parts that are made. This is especially helpful in building race car parts, as that’s what I do for a living. It’s a simple but crucial thing to do to all parts!
