Thank you! My father has a mill and lathe just a half mile away so for now I am happy to use his equipment for precision machining. I plan on making a 2x72 belt sander soon (to make some bigger knife projects). So I will get some time with the big machines soon
Excellent knife man. I love that you're using good materials, something I've been criticized for doing. At the end of the day, though, it feels good using a beautiful tool you've made yourself. Always fantastic, thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks Rob! That piece of 01 steel was $20 delivered and I made the 2 marking knives with my son last year, these 2 carving knives and have some left to probably make 2 more. I really enjoyed making knives. I think a chef knife would be fun to make.
Twisted Woodshop I would love to see that. And tool steal stays sharp for soooo long. I don’t grind my chisels like I use to. Now I use my leather honing wheel and it stays razor sharp.
Hi Dave, mate creatively made knives & it’s a nice way you’ve combined leftovers to be super useful. Secondly I love your vice & that’s a gem of a thing to keep forever, great video 👍👍👍👍👍
They look great, thanks for sharing! Is there a reason why you cut the end of the tang (the end inside the handle) with a curve rather than leaving it square?
great video. have you given it any thought about making a few to sell. after watching how you made them and the care you took to get it right, I certainly would buy one. hand made not mass produced. let me know if your interested and what you would charge. great job.
Thanks! I haven't thought much about selling them but it's a good project and doesnt take too long to make. Maybe I'll make a few in a couple months and put them on my website.
Nice!
So like it !!
Thanks!!
Once again kudos to your 360-degree-skillset, i think the only machine missing in your shop is a lathe, is this something you wanna buy some day?

Great work Dave! Those turned out brilliant.
Thanks! They come in handy around the shop. These little knives are practice for making something bigger down the road!
I like your shop. Very clean, basic and orderly. Great project too
Thanks! I like it basic and clean. I feel like I can work better in a clean environment
Nice little project. I really enjoyed watching it.
Thanks! I never heard back from you on that thing we were talking about. Anyway, I see you have a new video out. Going to go watch it now!
Good stuff!! Those things are pretty cool!!
Thanks Jake! This style of knife is great to have around the shop!

Thanks! That vise is a tank and it's nice to have in the shop.
That is so cool! great idea, you are talented my friend
Thanks! These were a lot of fun to make
They look great, thanks for sharing! Is there a reason why you cut the end of the tang (the end inside the handle) with a curve rather than leaving it square?
Thanks! I made the tang match the cavity cut out by the saw to give it as much surface area to evenly push against the handle.
useful and good looking. brilliant job, man
Thank you!
Hey Dave - lovin' those knives ! Also lovin' the new shop - bet you are too. Must be great having dedicated metal/wood areas to work in.
Thanks Rob! I am loving the new shop space. The metal bench and vise are convenient for sure and they can take a lot of abuse
