    Dude I LOVE your videos. you and Walter sorrells are by far the best on youtube. your attention to detail, and the fact that your work ethic and refusal to be average shines in every video is insanely inspiring to a new knife maker like myself. thank you from all of us newbies for doing these videos

    The shape of that handle looks very comfortable and that blade shape and grind is beautiful.

    Special thanks for the tip on the masonry bits to countersink. I made the mistake of using a twist bit(drilled straight through!!). Thanks again Mike.

    Hi from Brisbane, Australia. Congratulations on your excellent videos. Not sure whether you trained as a school teacher or whether your skills just come naturally to you, but you do a wonderful job of showing and teaching how to do these tasks. I also appreciate your relaxed, laid-back manner. Camera work is also very clear. Thanks.

    Thank you for having the volume so that I can hear it. If it's too loud one can always turn it down but amplifying an existing sound byte is another thing

    Always enjoy watching your videos. They are verey beneficial. I'm not sure if you use wood for scales on your knives. If so, would you consider making a video putting wood scales on a knife and that process used. Thank you

    • @EkimKnives
      @EkimKnives  9 лет назад

      +Brent Bogy I haven't used wood yet, but I bought some scales to try out. I'll make a video on them once I'm better versed in working with it. Thanks for watching!

    How do you like the j flex belts and what do you use them for? I've never used one and was wondering what the benefit would be to using one for shaping on a metal wheel (beginning of the vid).

    another very informative video... tried the screw head polishing idea on countersunk head screws works well ...only difference u need a flat surface to put the sandpaper on. i used a piece of wood...anyways not sure if u have mentioned it in another video but since u cleaned up the jimpings with the Dremel ...how do u put them on prior heattreat? chainsaw file,Dremel,... ??? i like 5 to 6 jimpings on my blades but especially on thick stock its a pain...time consuming and then u have to measure where to put them...i hate it...especially when done with a file...tried the grinder n a very small wheel but didn't work that well...what i do now is use the hacksaw. ..jimpings don't look that nice neither are they that grippy but better than nothing...n quicker...what some do is before they shape the blade they msrk the jimpings location n drill them...then grind off excess. ..tried but my designs hardly stick to the plan *ha* i always improve them in the process... take care keep up the great work

      +Fred L All of the jimping I have done before heat treat was done with a 1/8" chain saw file. Lately I have been using the milling machine with a 1/8" carbide endmill and doing it after heat treat. Either way works but doing it by hand will always take longer and usually require more work. For smaller jimping I use a checkering file before heat treat. I don't trust myself with a grinder or even the dremel to do the jimping free hand. its too easy to mess it up for me.

    Do you think it's possible to tap the holes on the actual handle instead of using the standoffs? Have you ever thought of that as a option maybe to save a little money?

    Hi Mike
    You've been shooting for 5 hours?
    Is this your way of dropping hints and getting us all set up to buy your EKIM KNIVES director's cut, available for Christmas, only $22.99?
    As always, great vid , Mike

    Take one of your standoff’s and split one side of it with the band saw or a grinding wheel . Clean the threads out with a 8/32 tap and then thread your bolt into the modified standoff and chuck it int your drill press. Thread damage risk eliminated.
