I am happy to say that I bought this knife Ben is making when it was put up in their online store. Real treat to see the handle being shaped. As beautiful as it looks in the video, in person it is exquisite. And it’s a lot of fun to use off in the bushes.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me
@Avery Raylan thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
That first grinder looked awesome. Also good to see 10 plus years of muscle memory being called in on command when shaping that handle, making it look very easy. Nice work Ben, that birch is lovely.
Excellent Ben, thank you. Just made my first knife handle and wished i had watched this first. Very clear and insightful. Had issues with the hardware creating greying of the light wood so will learn from this on the next one. Cheers.
this has been very helpful, i have a knife handle ready to be contoured but thought my handle was too thick to start but looks like it will be fine after contouring. thanks!
Interesting to see a master at it. Seeing the buffer work from a safety viewpoint would be great when you have the time or inclination. Thanks Ben and Lois.
Baldy Slapnut thanks glad you enjoyed it. We did cover a little but on the buffet including safety in the recent how to make a knife handle video. But a full video on it would be a good idea. Many thanks cheers Ben
Love your work. Envious of your belt sander (worked with belt linishers for 20 years prior to redundancy & this one looks amazing). - Seriously not being a smart a**e but do watch out for your hoodie drawstring ;)
Nice work on hadle. Sharp forcus on camera all the time! But kind of scary to see wood dust and metal sparcles from grinder beeing vacumed together. It is so easy to start fire in dispozal bin for dust.
Loving your videos! Nice, easy way of talking, no raging music...great job. I've just taken delivery of my own variable speed Radius Master and I'm looking forward to making some dust with it! When you're knocking the rough down of the handle I noticed you took fairly aggressive swipes at it. Is there an issue with heating up the tang and possibly upsetting the glue?
Hi Ben, this is a process I've been struggling with a bit, I've only got a small beltgrinder, seem to have trouble getting steel filings on the wood and scratching knife edge around handle, I noticed a lot of your handle sanding is going across the grain of the steel, are all scratchs removed by the time you've finished?

@Avery Raylan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Benicio Colby No problem :)
Excellent videos. Having the right tools and how to used them is what it is all about. Thank you for sharing. Far and far away from Marana, Az. USA.

Thanks a lot, yes the grinder is amazing I use it like artist uses a paint brush to enable me to shape the wood just how I want. 👍
