"minimal tools" : *pulls out hydrolic press 😂 This was pretty nice ! I was missing the hammering part. Why don't you round the shoulders ? Sharp corners between the tang and the shoulders create a stress point And how do you determine the width and length of the tang ?
The French Knife Maker I just estimate how long the tang should be, and the wider the better! I’ve never experienced any issues with fracturing blades on stress points like that, but it’s a good observation
Saw you on forged in fire! You were so humble and took constructive criticism for the best! Thank you sir, I have subscribed to all your videos, keep posting! I am going to try to make a 1970-1980 case boot knife with coffin handle. I am 42 and look to you for inspiration on pieces. Would love for you to attempt the same knife and post it. I need pointers, not going to lie!
Thanks for this. It's hard to find a good baseline for guards and bolsters when you don't have expensive tools or materials mailed to your door already square and flat.
Hey, quick question: has anyone given you a hard time about defacing the quarters? I’ve heard of other people doing that with coin and when RUclips heard about it, they stepped in and had the video scrapped. It’s a cool idea but I’m curious to hear back and see if you’ve suffered any grief?
@@zjbknives I will surely give it a try 😁 was meant more as a joke than anything else 😅 Do you have any tips for knifes that are kind of thin? I have trouble making fitting bolsters for those because of the small drill bit and file size you need
Wow !! Great job man !! For not having a vertical mill, the fit sure came out nice !! Thanks for the tutorial!!!

Nate Zahalka as far as I know, it’s legal to deface currency as long as you don’t try to spend it afterwards:)
Minimal Tools .. yeah let me just get my pocket hydraulic press, everyone surely has one of those 😂
@@cedrics1220 you can use any hammer to accomplish the same task my brother!
