Good insight, as usual! I must say that, although your craftsmanship is beyond reproach, it is your personality and sense of humor that, in my opinion, will bring more people to wonderful world of blades and bladesmithing. More importantly, I think it will encourage people to get into sharpening and shaping the blades they already own, and end up finding what features work best for them. Keep up the good work!
One of my guys at work asked if I could throw out the contents of the back room. We didn't carry anymore of the product anymore. It was about 50 boxes of Mirka in various grits. I've been using it on wood and steel for three weeks and its great stuff. I've never seen sandpaper last this long.
Hi Jason. Love you on the show, and I'm overjoyed you have a you tube channel. Please for the love of GOD make long video's. Watching your video's is way better than most of the junk on tv.thanks again Jason.......Bob
Man I'm on a walker right now but when I get my hips fixed and everything comes the way I want it I want to take your class for real you make me laugh every time every video I watch yours I end up laughing is great
Okay....have had the sandpaper for a few days. THANK YOU!! I've tried several. This stuff cuts beautifully, quickly, and evenly. This is what I've been looking for. Appreciate the info.
Thanks for the info ...im probably the only female who loves making blades ...im a beginner but my passion drives me beyond my abilities..I went ahead and ordered me some Mirka can't wait to try it out. Thanks again !
My tip is that on my homemade sanding board that currently has 2 grits 240 and 600 is that it has padding. An old mouse pad will work but my current one has a layer of cut up old beer coozees. The rubber is glued down with Gorilla glue but the paper on top is secured with Elmers School Glue, because in a month or whenever you feel the paper is worn out, it peels off easily
enjoyed this and other videos of yours. i want your openion... have you tried hand polishing with stones. watched a video where the guy used various stones...sooo...i tried it... found it much fasted and easier than sand paper, my plung line cleaner...
That Mirka gold is actually intended for the softer materials than steel, with aluminum oxide. I use also Mirka for many sanding applications. Really innovative and tough products 👍🏻
I use a magnetic fish tank cleaner as a sanding block. It relieves your fingers of the pressure and cramps. It reduces the risk of convexing your grind lines too. You might wanna try it.
@@JasonKnightMS awesome really looking forward to it. Had tons of great knowledge. Definitely gonna recommend to my friends who are interested in bladesmithing.
Is Oak wood OK to use for the sanding wedge for the plunge lines? I have a small piece of oak that would be perfect for that. I also have a bit of Yellow Tarara left, that I am using for handle scales. it is also pretty hard stuff, but I don't know how they compare to the stabilized maple wedge Jason used in the video. I am working on my first knife right now. screwed up the plunge lines when i was grinding the bevel, but its still pretty decent looking. I am going to leave the flaws visible, instead of sanding everything out, so I don't obscure the areas that I need more skill and practice with. thanks for the great videos Jason!!! keep it up!
Thanks Jason. I’m wondering if you would be kind enough to let me know which specific Mirka paper it is you use. There are sooo many to choose from on their website. Many thanks 🙏🏻
I'm really interested in turning an old loaded half round file into a usable knife. I just want to know how long I should hear the file. I use a coal forge so everything seems to take longer to heat in it
Thanks for the tips man, i was wondering, how big does a worksheop needs to be, in your opinion? I've kinda daydreaming about having one, but I'd like to know what do you think would be a good starting point
Want to make a trade?! I'll make you a knife the best of my ability after all ive only been making knives for a few months and...you make me whatever?! Papa bear knives!

Thank you! I was just today having a hard time getting the finish on something I made and wondering how to do it better.
Could yoU make a video on how you polish your knife spine after the handle is on, or you process of it? It would help me alot.
Great info, thanks for the tips.
I been watching people use 1 knife for fileting a fish and skinning a deer just one knife. Love hunting and fishing
Amen! Leave the leather work to the leather workers. It is a craft in itself that I don’t want to do and those guys are great.
Josh Combs I’ve been making leather projects since 1977. Now I’m into Kydex projects. I love them both.
Love all these tips and tricks and loved the forged series. Curious if you're gonna add more to the forged series?

Mirka also sounds like ‘Merica!

I’m wondering if you would be kind enough to let me know which specific Mirka paper it is you use. There are sooo many to choose from on their website. Many thanks 🙏🏻
I concur way too many choices on their site. Great tips video but we need a few details. Thanks.
I second that. Details, links to specific products if you're going to recommend them. Keep up the great content!
From the video it says Gold P220, which on their site if you scroll down you will see it.
First!!!
Can you show the round rod in your drill setup? Thats exactly what I need as I my biggest struggle is getting the curves sanded smooth.
That video works👍✌
I wish I could subscribe more than once

I'm making a pretty big knife for the first time and wondering how thick I should leave the knife before quenching it?
I read the thumbnail as “things to make you do it easier” lmao
