Hey! Thanks for the video. I converted my mill, which is similar to yours, to DRO’s a while back. Fairly simple and only cost me maybe 120.00. I used igauging DRO’s from Amazon. It took me maybe 3 1/2 hours to complete. Best time and money I have ever spent. Message me if you would like some tips or pics of the project. Take care!
Thank you for the video. Your attention to detail is amazing and I hope to learn a great more from you down the road. The liquid you sprayed on your Scotch-Brite belt was that just water? to keep it cool?
A beautiful knife. As a maker myself there are always little things that could be improved upon that anyone else looking at the knife would not notice. We strive for perfection but seldom achieve it 100%. Nevertheless we keep trying. I like your style of narration, you are a natural speaker and your explanations are clear.
I don't find myself telling folks they're overly humble, but you sir, fit the bill. That is great work you're doing and your skill and attention to detail are great to watch. Great job and I look forward to the next video.
OMG, your attention to detail is ridiculous!! I mean that in a good way. I'm not a knife smith, but appreciate the art, ingenuity, and talent that goes into this craft!!
you may like the RF version of mill sold by Bolton Tools. It ranges from about 2K to just under 4K. I have the cheapest version, geared head, ZX45. It is the non-CNC mill you see in Walter Sorrells's videos. They are way more rigid than the smaller benchtop mills (about as rigid as the mini bridgeport clones). But, the machine doesn't take up too much area, it can be used with 110v electric service, and you get a new machine without breaking the bank. Just mentioning it. You are right, it is so much better to have flat and square things to fit together. Thanks for the detailed video.
I have noticed that your mill could use a set of stops for the table. Here is a new project for you when you get some free time, you can make a nice set of stops for the mill.
Your one hell of a narrator man. Great video and most of all .... one beautiful Knife. I like the way you show theres no room for short cuts and taking your time produces extreme top quality results!!!
Thank you very much for your comment Shawn! The narration takes a ton of time... since I'm actually not that great at it! I end up saying the same thing 3-4 times before I like it, lol.
Thank you sir! The forged hidden tang knives take me out of my comfort zone for sure. Take longer and are harder to make... but the feeling of success when they're done is worth it. I have a ton to learn
I have a couple tips for you , number one , make your guard a little bit thinner they look more pleasing to the eye around 150 Thousands on guards . When slotting your spacers to go on the tang make them tight Press fit like the guard that way they don’t move around and would eliminate the use of pins from the spacer to the guard, so when you pin your handle to it it’s always in the same spot no movement will help you a lot. On the pommel Take a punch and peen around where the pommel nut meets the pommel Been grind it off those seams will disappear. When grinding your handle to your spacer put one wrap of gorilla tape Around your spacer then grind the handle Until you just dust the tape all the way around that will give you your perfect museum fit , then just round over slightly with sandpaper. That’s all I have for now you’re doing a great job keep up the Chase for perfection It’s never ending.
This is yet more evidence, if it were needed, that the more effort you put in to your project, the better the outcome will be! Awesome job, James. Picking up new skills AND making a kick-ass knife - can't fault that! 🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
On the Bowie... that is a type of fighter. Bowie classic design is (typically) 7"+ blade and has a guard and clip point, sometimes with a false edge. I think this is close to a bowie but isn't that long.
Thank you sir! I foresee a take down in my future. This one was the training wheels version (lol)! I can imagine the DRO is a game changer for sure... It's high on my wish list. Thanks for the info on the bowie vs fighter! Cheers sir!
Great Knife and amazing detailed build, was good to see all the steps and what worked, what didn't and how you overcame things. You should be proud of that finish it looks super tight and clean. I love that stone wash finish on the blade :)
Very nice knife build!! I have made a lot of hidden tangs, but none to the tolerances and precision you made this one. Your attention to detail on the guard and pommel and use of your machines is really awesome. The only thing I would suggest (and I think this could be more of a personal preference) is to make the handle less square. NOT a criticism at all, but with no tang to show on the handle there is so much more shaping potential than full tangs and rounding those corners more will make it fit better in the hand.
Thank you sir! I totally agree! It's one of the things I like the least about this knife as well. It all started at the spacer... I made the spacer very square and I wanted to match the handle to the spacer. Next time around my spacer will be more oval. Cheers
Absolutely enjoyed watching this build. Excellent description of what you did and why you did it. Some real patience with the details! Very nice looking knife! Cheers from Canada
Jim, I just wanted to say that I came by your videos by chance. I was never into knives until I watched one of your videos. Now I'm hooked. Im even considering buying one from you if possible. I just need to factor in the cost including shipping. Great work man. Plesse keep it coming.
Welcome aboard! Glad you're enjoying them, sir! I really don't sell many now days since my volume is so low. I'm also not taking any custom orders due to the commitment. But when I do have one available for sale I post it up on Instagram. Cheers man, have a great weekend!
Great video. I've watched so many of your videos. It's really cool to see how far your skills have come since the early videos. Your build process has really come along as you've added equipment and knowledge. I have only made four knives myself, but that's enough to appreciate your journey. Finally, I like how you are giving back to the community with these videos. Keep up the great work man. God bless you.
I could not add anything to this build to improve it. It is incredible, as is all of your works. I am a jeweler/hand engraver. That big, beautiful, pommel and bolster/guard is begging me to do some scrollwork, or even a running leaf pattern around it. I am jealous of your grinding setup, btw.
Since I am learning some knife making from you I will pass along a tip to you as a machinist. Pre-drilling holes before you mill the parts is only adding time to your work, you're not gaining anything from it. The milling cutter is still traveling along the same path at the same speed with or without those holes. I know some people are concerned that those mini-mills don't have a lot of power but you are not taking that deep of a cut per pass. If you have any milling questions hit me up
Very nice! My only critique is that the guard looks slightly out of place with the square edges in combination with the decorative filing on the spacer and the 45 on the pommel. My opinion would be to add a small 45 on the top and bottom of the guard to make it match the spacer and pommel. As always, love your detailed explanations of your processes.
if you whant to have the handel-wood a snuck fit to (for future takedowns) you can cover the tang and fittings in Vaseline and glue it together as normal but take it apart again after a few houers.
Beautiful bevel grinds ! Someday I hope to be able to do that , although that may not be possible with a 4x36 belt sander. Having the right tools helps no doubt.
Super sweet. You really stepped it up with this build! One method I would use since you seem pretty handy with the mill, is to mill down some shoulders on the tang to make the fit-up with the guard even smoother and easier.
I really like that jig! The straightening jig. Good work. thanks for teaching us about the scotchbrite surface conditioning stuff, also. I love the creativity on the tumbler. I only hand sand, but maybe some day I can find something different when I make using knives for friends and family. You are getting very good. congrats.
Wish I had that kind of equipment! Me just trying my hand at reforming a meat cleaver into something drastically different....by mistake but just using angle grinder and files with a lot of wet-n-dry sandpsper. Won't even come close to a very beautiful piece of work!
Do you have a video on how to make a straightening jig? I'm very curious on how 2 make one as I am very new to knife making, and find your videos more helpful than most others.
Awesome first takedown(not-takedown 😂) but I would suggest a groove half to 3/4 the size in the spacer, and add a corresponding same size grove to the guard, and possibly even replace the 45° on the pommel with a matching groove, as well as matching the shapes of the guard, spacer and pommel. As for the finale, maybe try a ball or pointed shape instead of cutting it off and grinding flat...looking forward to seeing how your skills progress
Really nice video, I also recently made my first hidden tang knife using a different method but I gotta say hidden tang knives are so much more work but once done correctly the work is worth it. I think the more you make hidden tang knives it will get easier, thanks.
Hope yall enjoyed this build! Links to the 1/16'' hardened dowel pins are in the description. 🙌

@@rontremblay719 Hey Ron, that was WD40. I feel like it keeps the belt cleaner
When I first saw it I thought it was a canister damascus blade. That handle is absolutely stunning.

What a beautiful knife! I was so impressed by your attention to detail. I especially liked that you put a 45 bevel on the pommel.
Glad you liked it! Cheers Bill!

Wow, this man clearly explains everything, and the handle is soo good.
Thank you!
That is a knife of true beauty, a superbly crafted item, Exellent!!
Much appreciated sir! Glad you enjoyed it!
You threw around some "Big Hitters" when naming knife smiths but missed Jim Keeton. Nice job an keep 'em coming.
Lol, thank you sir, glad you enjoyed this one!
Oh my I can't believe you did all that work just to glue it together 😮
Was learning the process at the time lol
Nice job on the guard shoulders. It's all about repeatability and using whatever tools you need to suit your building style.
Thank you sir! And thanks for replying to my DMs on Instagram. Along with your videos on youtube they really helped my process. Cheers sir!
I also trust the dial indicator more than I do a DRO. It's just me.
And thanks for giving credit where credit is due. There's not enough of that in the knife world.
@@KarlBAndersen I do my best to! I learn so much from you guys! Thanks for all you put out there.
