Thanks for sharing these videos. I always find it very interesting to see the crafting, so to me it also adds value to the knife knowing how it was made.

Bloody hell ben&lois you'd better get a Wiggle on to get that beautiful array of knives finished 👏👏👏👌👍

I was searching for some information about 'NEW' in-the-box (vintage) Puma hunting knives; 'How to restore old leather, stag, etc., when I found a video of Lois. She was demonstrating how to properly mold a leather hunting knife scabbard and what's the best thing for your leather sheaths - Mink Oil. I used Mink oil on two Puma sheaths I'd bought a few years ago and believe continued periodic application will preserve the knives for use (grandson's gifts). I would love to browse the knives Ben and Lois make and give my son-in-law one to hunt in Indiana. Beautiful variety of wood handles on your full-tang knives and look forward to seeing the end product(s)!

Nice work

Awesome! I do believe I spotted a smaller knife with my handle choice as well. The hunter orange/moon glow combo might become very popular. I’d love to see your supplier start making a mixed option of it. Tigerstripe would look sexy as hell! The parang works like a dream Ben. Excellent job!
