George, I live in the UK, I collect opinel knifes I been looking for a knife like this for months. If I pay you for materials and for your time plus postage would you please make me one?
I appreciate the confidence in me. Unfortunately if I do that for you, then I have to do for all the requests. I just don't have the time. Lol..I nearly Ave time for videos. Thankyou again for your support and kind words.
you could try your hand at it yourself. It can be a fun hobby to pick up. And not hard even with limited tools available.
What a brilliant modification to an Opinel knife. You are a master craftsman, George. I enjoyed watching you work your magic on that knife..!! Well done..!
Thankyou. appreciate you watching and commenting. Be safe
Very challenging project, even with power tools, the knife turned out excellent, thanks for sharing it, George.
Tjanjyou sure, the dremels are earning Thierry keep. Lol. Be safe my friend
My Pal George, you always surprise me you are a very talented man. You new Dremel tools seem to work great very very handy for sure. If I wasn't so old I would get that set up myself. Hey if you don't try you can't win. Thank you for the videos, I am always waiting for a new one.
You are a Dandy.
Lol..thankyou sir appreciate the kind words and support. Be safe out there

That project came out great George! Thanks for taking us along for this project. 👍👊
Thankyou. Much appreciated and you be safe today
Great video of real work! You really made the plain, every day work knife into a real beauty. I learned of the Knife Doc from you. I have carried the opinel mushroom knife every day since 2002; the hook blade and brush are very useful.
Thankyou. Appreciated. Gotta love the Knife Foctor. Great man for sure. You be safe out there
You fail to mention the wonderful fragrance of the antler as you grind and cut it, lol. It smells like burning hair because in reality it is burning hair. Good design (I had my doubts) very nice looking too. Nice job overall!
I had not thought of that , I had smelled that . Thx
Lol...true story. Appreciate your support and commenting. As always be safe
Hey George, that is fantastic! I really like the design and the craftmanship!
Thankyou sir much appreciated. You be safe out there
Your dremel skills have improved 100 percent experience levels are too ! I enjoy your videos so much! Keep up the great work stay safe!😊😊
Thankyou sure, always appreciated. Practice makes perfect...well kinda...lol. be safe
George, you're making me jumpy. I keep waiting for you to modify an Opinel , so that it opens into a canoe or a tent or an umbrella! LOL! Good Job!
Lol...working on it. Thanks again my friend.
That looks beautiful! Nice work, buddy! I've been gone a week hiking and fishing in the Rockies, but got home last night and this was neat to watch! Cheers!
Lol..I think I would rather be hiking and fishing. Thanks again. Hope the trip was good
That came out great. Thanks for sharing the project with us.
Thankyou. Appreciate you and your support. Be safe
It’s different George

That blade is sharp you finally cracked it.
Yes sir. That sharpener is a win win for me. Be safe my friend
Looks really good. Can't wait to see the sheath. Dangler might be cool. Have a great day

Work of ART 💯🏆
Lol....modern????. Be safe my friend. Appreciate you watching as always
Excellent job. Bought my first Opinel #8 about a month ago. Got the stainless blade. Think I’ll go get a carbon blade next. Take care!
Yep. Gotta love them copies. Be safe
Awesome job, looks great.
Thankyou. Appreciated. Be safe as always
Great job, looks great
Thankyou. Be safe
That turned out great!
Thankyou much appreciated. Be safe
I made my first knife last year. It was a Damascus skinner blank given to me. I used a complete deer leg bone…lol. It looks like a caveman knife! Yours is way fancier then mine.
But was fun right. That's what it's all about. Appreciate the support. Be safe
@@2ndchancegeorge sure was! I even stained the bone to give it an old look.
@tripplebeards3427 nice
Seems like the orange oil would be great for opinel knives. The difference it makes isn't huge but it really does great to protect my wood handle kitchen knives.
Oh yeah. For sure. Got to keep that in mind. Be safe. Thanks for watching
The center of the antlers is porous so pins in the middle are possible a problem to make stable , perhaps some flat bars inlaid on the outer sides or even on the inside where you catch the solid part of the antler by drilling two or three parallel drilled holes that form a “groove” or slot with the whole point interlocking with the solid part of the antler
Yep. Tell antler was not very wide so was limited. Adding thicker longer pins helped alot. Be safe my friend
That's the problem working with antler . The pith is not stable. I drill as much as I can out and fill it with apoxy . Then it works great. I've done a lot of experiments with antler because I love the way it looks so much. I've got handles I've now been using regularly for 2 years and they're holding up great.
Ahh. Good info thankyou. Be safe
Out of all your work, like this best!! But dont antler stink, when you grind ,lol!
Yep. They di. Be safe
Marinated teriyaki Spam & Knives!🤤🤤🤤👍🏼
True story, thanks for watching always appreciated
The cheapest sharpening system like yours is now $90 on Amazon. ❤
I saw that. Interesting. I paid less than 100 with the extra diamond plates...huh. not good. For us. Be safe
Excellent job!! Perhaps it is time to try your hand. at skiving leather?
Lol..read my mind. I considered that with the leather I had. But want to keep it for another project. There is leather on the way though....hopefully. be safe, appreciate the support
Well it came out pretty good . I wouldn’t put anything on antler it’s durable as is
Thankyou much appreciated
A lot of work and I like the style of the blade you've filed. But the antler handle ... nope, sorry!
Maybe with a bigger antler with the Opinel No. 9.
Yep with you there. Ill be looking for one for sure
Hey partner you can bend antler straight by boining it and put weight on it!!!!!!
Ahh good tip, 👍 thankyou
George, have you seen the leather tattoo machines? A few videos about them have been popping up on my feed.
Not I have not. I'll have to look at that. Be safe my friend
hi, George, if the sharpening stones are not diamonds, then you need to apply oil to sharpen
Ahh ok. They mention a little oil and don't drip???. I think they meant for the bearing on the sweep handle. I'll look at what the specs are. Thankyou. Much appreciated.
@@2ndchancegeorge you cant apply too much oil, better more than less, but you also will feel and hear it when you are sharpening. it must feel smooth
@sonofcolossus7766 got it
It checked they are diamond stones.
@@2ndchancegeorge ok then no oil, hehehe. Have a nice evening and greetings from Germany
So you made an antinel?
Lol...that is perfect. Great name. Be safe my friend
@@2ndchancegeorge I'll do my very best to be, But I have been seen to fail in that respect *G*
Lol...that cannot be good.
the blade profile his convexe not flat t s the them on all opinel
Yep you right, I should have said full convex not flat. Thanks for watching. I always appreciate your support. Be safe
