    Great video, mate!! I just have a question..... do you epoxy hidden tang handles at all? Or is it just the case of having a nice tight tang hole that is enough to keep the handle on the blade? I've been going down the hidden tang rabbit hole...... and there seem to be lots of different ways, lol. Thank you!

      Hi Samuel! Thanks for the comment! I’ve never made a Wa handle myself but I can imagine drilling a centre hole is not something you can do once and be great at it. Like any craft, practice makes perfect! Thanks again bud!

    You need to get yourself some Australian hardwoods if you want wood that sinks, some Ringed Gidgee or Buloke, both look fantastic and are two of the densest and hardest commercially available woods in the world (Buloke actually is the hardest). You can also make your own handle broaches easily, you can buy double sided jigsaw blades which are identical to the ones in those broaches, just make your own handle. Kincrome K21751 or Spyder 300010

    Why use a partial tang? Expensive alloys is understandable, yes. But even then, why not join a cheaper alloy for a full tang? Just asking, where I've had bad luck with partial tangs.

  • @jacksin3323
    @jacksin3323 Год назад +1

    Your methods are pretty similar to mine for a permanent handle, but as far as a "Wa" handle, i taper the tang, and split a dowel to do a compression fit inside of a single, circular drill hole.
    Is that austenitic stainless over monocore? Looked like some carbon jump there at the end. Sanmai/laminating is by far my favorite method.

    Ideally you want to use gloves when finishing your handles. Whether that be with grinding or oiling, you're always going to have some kind of grime on your hands and fingers when working on anything in the shop. Even your natural skin oils can throw off the finish. However, other than that, everything about this is great! Thanks for sharing 👍
