Knife Maker Sam Stoner | Kentucky Life | KET

Doug visits master knife maker Sam Stoner in in rural Allen County near Scottsville. Stoner shows us the process of making a hunting knife. Every knife is hand made, and Stoner uses no electricity in the process. “Everything in here and all my equipment is powered by two horses,” he says.

I hope you greatly reward those horses

The horse powered grinder is awesome.

Seems whenever we see an older manual worker with skills that takes years to learn they never seem too have an apprentice. The passing down of knowledge is the most satisfying job anyone can do. Knowing your work will live on makes getting your hands dirty everyday worth doing.

Josh, Sam is a master knife maker. He definitely tempers his blades. His Damascus is incredible. My dad is friends with him and we have dozens of his knives and tomahawks. You will have a hard time finding a craftsman like him anywhere. Love his work

[@seanwatson7191]

Were can I order one

[@300blk8]

Why does he dress like an Amish guy

[@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrl7059]

@@300blk8 cause he is an old order mennonite, and they dress like amish.

I'm really impressed with his 2 horsepower machinery.

AZ Patriot Talk about “green” manufacturing! 😆 It’s pretty amazing!

[@longbow5423]

I've owned a couple of his knives and currently own one of his big bowies. You can see the temper line he does. He differentialy hardens/tempers the knives he does so you have a softer spine/handle and harder edge. Trust me his knives are absolutely first rate tools and show a great degree of skill. His bowie I have might be the nicest bowie I've ever owned bar none. thanks
PS next to get one of his hunters again to use an edc

Just visited Sam yesterday and ordered a kukri blade.. cant wait

[@PlaceStillMatters]

I got a kukri from Sam for bushwhacking about a year or so ago. It works great!

[@patrickr.newman2983]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and a really cool way to do it.

[@Rhythmicons]

Horse treadmill-powered shop.....incredible.

[@kyleloll]

I was wondering when he was going to tempering the blade! That seems to be left out of videos the most. I was impressed by the no electricity shop. That is cool.

[@robbieirlam414]

You should start up a gym for the locals Sam. Love your work bud ! 4:25

[@Deere-uh4go]

My neighbor is Amish. Could not ask for a better family to live next to.

[@dougvuillemot8670]

Wish I could say the same. The whole sqaud trespass like crazy and violate every hunting trapping law there is. That's putting it nicely.
