    I love the way peter said "I am still Learning". This is a great sign of Humility. A handy trick that I use. I Don't glue the Bolster first. I drill the Tang hole instead of Burning and then make the hole in the bolster using small drill bit and files. Then you can glue the Bolster on with the Blade. I use Dowel with a slot cut out of it to go around the tang which adds to the structural integrity of the knife & fills the Drill hole with the tang. Well, I use this technique for my Kitchen knives. I have not made a carving knife, but the principle is still the same.

    I will not lie. Looking at Peter carve the facets with the knife, I held my breath each time he encountered a different grain direction and a splinter developed. Masterfully done. Watched the whole thing in one sitting.

    I really enjoyed watching Peter’s process. After recently creating a couple of handles for some blades from Green Haven Forge, I picked up several tips to improve my process if I do any more. I love Peter’s handle design. The most aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic design I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing this with us.

  • @mrkiky
    @mrkiky 2 года назад +4

    What I like to do is fit the main handle and the bolster separately. That way you can go into the handle with all your tools, drill bits, brooch, endmill and whatnot and leave an ugly entrance hole, then really be careful with the bolster to get a nice fit. And that works if you want to have a metal, bone, horn or other material that you can't burn in. And yes definitely use a little endmill in a dremel tool or even in the hand drill to join those holes, it cuts sideways about 57 times better than a drill bit and makes it a breeze to carve a slot in just about any wood.

    What a stonkingly good team you make. Thank you so much to you both. If not confident, I at least now know the steps needed to make something resembling a handle and hopefully something as beautiful, ergonomic and elegant as this. I've got a blade on order, I have some yew and a little bit of ebony... trouble is I'm an impatient sort so lets see.. My other half in in England now so will be bringing back the blade on his return.. Meanwhile I will do a little prep and some practise! Thanks Zed, peace brother.

    I’ve made the same mistake myself! Nothing wrong with giving it a shot! I found certain epoxy resins worked well by mixing 75kg (5min) with 150kg (6-8hrs). It depends on ratio, temperature for the hardening to react, but once you find the “Goldilocks effect” it’s a win all round💪🏼

    I enjoyed Peter's video, excellent job both of you. Any chance you would share your handle patterns as a picture or PDF or just the dimensions? I took a class from Jo Jo Wood at the Woodwright school in NC, USA and was given the opportunity to use a faceted handle, what a difference in tool control and grip tension. Thank you for the first video I shared it with my group of carvers and everyone was impressed and have now shared this video as well, so hopefully they will leave comments also. I have since made several handles this way for my knives, but your first video explains why this is a better grip, at least for me. Peter, Zed again thank you.

    I made myself a kind of broaching tool by just gluing an upwards cutting jigsaw blade in a handle. It has teeth just on one side, but works ok. If you take a very wide blade or even one from a sawzall (maybe a broken one), you could file teeth on both sides.

    even it is interesting for me to watch, but I actually put hundreds of knives and other tools on the handles. True, I do this in a slightly different way, I drill a hole close in size to the thickness of the cutting and choose to the required width with a specially made crochet with a sharpened tooth, it turns out quickly and accurately, so you can make curved grooves, sometimes it is necessary, for example, for semicircular chisels that do it myself. it turns out a very tight fit that does not require glue, I do not like to use it where you can do without it.But it is interesting to look at your work, thanks)

    По геометрии ручки очень хороши, но лично я на таких рукоятках не приемлю никаких граней , это только красота , но неудобство в работе. Рукоятка именно резчицкого ножа не должна тереть ладонь гранями . Правда это сугубо мое мнение . Успехов Вам в изготовлении хорошего инструмента ! 👍🙏🤝👋

    I've paused this clip after watching for 3 minutes, can we have a separate clip for the "small" axe hanging on the wall behind Peter? :)

      I'd need a wide angle lens for that axe! :) ~Peace~

      Thank you for the kind words and alas no template for this handle per se, but worth sketching out your own based on what Peter demonstrates ~Peace~

    How thick are the blades? What is an "optimal" thickness for such a sloyd knife? 3mm?

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  Год назад

      Yes your typical sloyd knife should be about 3mm thickness, but they do vary depending on use. Some are thinner for more delicate work and some are thicker for heavier stock removal ~Peace~

    Great video! Would it be possible to add links to where one could buy the knife blanks - preferable in mainland Europe?

      Contact Peter via his website about buying knife blanks from him - www.soulwoodcreations.com/

    Bonjour, je suis désolé de ne pas parler anglais, mais je pense qu'il serais bien de mettre des sous-titres afin d'avoir une traduction pour un meilleur partage et une meilleure compréhension du savoir faire de tout les artistes que vous présentez. En tous cas, merci pour vos démonstrations.

      Je pense que RUclips a une fonctionnalité où il traduit les sous-titres dans différentes langues, cliquez sur l'icône de la roue sur la vidéo et j'espère que vous pourrez lire les sous-titres en français ~Peace~

    i really like peter's design of the handle i have made a few but not really happy with them and the fit in the hand would there be any chance of the templates for his handle i have 2 more knives to put handles on , i made the blades and think they would benefit from peter's expertise of his handle design please could you ask peter if there is any chance thank you

    • @Zedoutdoors

      Peter has countless templates he uses for the knives he makes as they vary somewhat, hence he's not able to provide one which will work for most people. My best advise is to sketch out the shapes you've seen in this video and make the overall shape and length suitable for your needs. Hope that helps and appreciate you watching ~Peace~

      I'm not sure if he sells handles seperately,so worth messaging him through his website or Instagram. Links to those are in the description just below the video ~Peace~

    Just an Observation....If Peter would have heated up BOTH sides of the tang and heated more red he probably wouldnt have had to heated so many times and not having to redrilled Here's Why ...The side he didnt heat pulled the heat away the side that he heated causing the entire tang to cool off too quickly to finish the entire burn-in ...If both sides would have been heated evenly to "Cherry Red" it would have burned in one or two heats...
