    As I recall you had recently returned from Montana with that beast of a pantograph when I was there a few years back! I’m certain that machine had never been used in such a creative fashion before you rescued it. Awesome work as always!

    Great build! It really evokes a Tropicana night club feel.

    That's a game-changing machine, for sure, and your knife certainly shows why it's worth the trouble and expense. Thanks for sharing!

    Simple oval inlays are where I want to go. I'm partial to paua shell and abalone. The pantograph is the budget buster! Great tutorial man. ✌ 😃

    I think most kids in the 70's and 80's would have gotten a plastic pantograph and spirograph set for xmas at some point. They were really hours of fun tracing pictures out of books and sort of gave a lot of us a bit of introduction in terms of technical design and mathematics.
    The palm-frond pattern on that knife is realty something special and its surprising you managed to keep the definition in those 'ladders' as acute as they are considering the massive amounts of plastic deformation they received before that point of doing the feather cut through it. Now here's a wild one, if you can get those ladders like that, I wonder if you can get some twist-damascus snakes through some sections as well?
    Well you might, I can't that's for sure 😄

    Such great insight and information into the more detailed work in custom knife making. Do you ever make/fit inlays entirely by hand? I would love to see a process that one could follow without this awesome pantograph machine!

    Stunning. I've got some titanium folder handles sitting on the bench and a gk21, and I've no clue how to make a patterns . Would love to know how you do it.
    Would be up to have some inlays .
    That's one of the best-looking chef knives I have ever seen.

      Congratulations on the acquisition! The gk21 is a wonderful machine. I really do have to publish a video soon on pattern making…

    How you take the handle apart after all that? sort of lightly pry from the tang area??

    • @PrometheanBlade
      @PrometheanBlade  Рік тому +1

      It’s fit up pretty snug but it can still be pried apart with fingertips, with some struggle, before glue up.
