Fascinating Sandy. For anyone that doesn't know, a Jacklore knife is worth every minute of the wait when you finally get it in your hands. Your patience is rewarded and you have a lifetime companion of the highest quality. Noel
Always great to watch a work of art in the making. From a bit of steel and a lump of wood what you can create and sculpture into a finished knife. Fantastic! Cheers Mary
thank you sandy for posting this video so I can see how knife scales are done. I have always been interesting the work and process it took to do such beautiful work. after watching this I can see it takes a skilled artisan to judge the grinding and even shaping of a knife scale. hats off to a man who took the time to practice to learn this skills. it's quite impressive.
Wow Sandy, Very nice, you put a lot into each of your knives, I think I will have to own one after seeing the care and hard work you put into each one. Thank you
Unfortunately have to wait for it ? Ha !!! Anyone not wanting to wait for a master to make each of their masterpieces is not worthy. Beautiful work. A skill I do not have and never will but yet a skill I can deeply respect and appreciate
Brilliant video, love your working videos and all the skills used in creating the knives. The production skills and quality of the filming also excellent here, well done sir!
Gosh the precision work that went into just those scales was insane, seriously Sandy this is one of your best videos yet! This was the first time i've ever seen how the scales are shaped and what an insight it was. I seriously appreciate the time and effort you took into recording and sharing this! ~Peace~
Brilliant bit of work there Sandy, it's great to see the process of shaping and profiling the handles on your knives, it's easy to see the care and commitment that you put into each and every knife, you treat them as if they were your children...lol Keep up the good work (at least until I get my knife..Ha,Ha,Ha) Atb Dean P.s I'll bring the wood to the BCS, look forward to seeing you there mate :0)
The process requires an incredible amount of concentration and focus. It is amazing to see you create the beautiful shape of the handle from essentially a block of wood. I'm guessing it took a while to develop the stages and the required Cheka.
Thanks for sharing that Sandy. Hopefully now people will realise the time, effort and craftsmanship that make them worth every penny! Let me know when you are starting on mine as I would like to change a few things please! Looking forward to meeting you again at the BCS. ATB mate, Shaun

Unreal Sandy.. your understanding of the machines and artful manipulation of the materials is absolute.
always impressive to watch you work.

Beautiful knife man, I love how the handle came out. Reminds me that I need to set out a stabilizing chamber of my own soon.
Wow, thanks for showing how intense a process this is. :)

Nice work Sandy you must spend a lot of time just filming the process, then editing it and that's nothing to do with the knife itself.
What would be the height of the grind on the 3 mm thick Jacklore Classic?
It all depends on the bevel angle. If I put a 30 degree inclusive bevel on then the height is approximately 6mm
Nice one sandy See you soon marty
