  • This was my second attemp to customize Mora Garberg. My first went to Taro from Taromovies. John, thanks for choosing this stabilized curly birch block to this project. it's one of those blocks I cut into pieces on my own and sent them for the stabilized to Jaska Nukari Puukkopaja in Finland.
    We used John's 'old', used Mora Garberg knife this time and some minor scratches can be seen on the blade. Those scratches do not reduce the value of the final result!
    The handle has got a great grip. It feels robust and strong. It weights 242 gramms with the sheath.
    Thanks for your interest,
    Osmo

    I had no idea how much goes into making a custom knife handle. You have awesome skills! I have a better appreciation now for the quality and craftsmanship. Cheers from Chicago!

    It's not just the beauty of the knife, but the beauty of your video in telling the narrative of the knife that I enjoy so much. So I would never skip ahead to see the final product! Thanks for the story of another great knife.

    Tip top job. You have a very sure touch with your sanding disk, especially. I would have taken twice as long and not sure it would have been as good a job. Fantastic knife.

    • @thetopicala
      @thetopicala  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks Bruce! I spent maybe an hour on my sanding machine with this knife. Anyway, hand sanding is the main key for the result and for sure the eye for the form :) Osmo

    Lovely, exquisite work, friend! I would normally skip to the end, but I miss woodworking so much (I used to work for a custom cabinet maker, but haven't gotten to do any woodwork in years since being injured on the job) and watching the shaping and sanding process especially was entrancing and relaxing.
    Again, gorgeous work. A Mora blade definitely deserves such a fine setting.

    • @thetopicala
      @thetopicala  2 года назад

      Hey Aleister, always an honour and joy to get feedback from professional woodmakers. Actually today glued together a new Mora G project and hope to shape and sand it into form in these days. I have also gathered some video material from this work and maybe it’s there on tube too. Thanks for your kind words and wish you all the best! Osmo 👋🏻🇫🇮
