- Making this folding pocket knife was such an awesome experience - thanks to Master Smith Shawn McIntyre. He invited me and a couple of other guys down to his workshop in Melbourne, for the week to make these stunning little knives. I learned so much and can't thank Shawn enough for such a wonderful time.

Beautifull work gents!! I bow my head to the craftsmanship 💪
Congratulations on getting 1 million subscribers 👏
. ..,
Is it a lockback? Drive they usually have a hook that engages with the back part of the blade? I didn't see it.
Gotta love that PID controlled forge. With that temperature control, and having the burner at the bottom to reduce oxidation in the atmosphere at the top, it's no wonder those blades came out with such little surface scale. What an amazing setup!
What an awesome week! One that won’t be forgotten. Thanks for joining us Neil and I am already excited for the next one!
It really was and can't wait for the next one! :)
This is why I love your channel Neil. You are constantly pushing yourself to learn new creative techniques and methods. You make it look so easy, which is a testament to your talent and skill. Thank you for sharing this adventure on your holiday. You could have very easily done all of this off-camera, and I, for one, greatly appreciate you sharing your experience. Cheers!
Thanks very much Marcus! I reckon that's what I enjoy most about making, learning new techniques and I definitely learned a lot this week. I almost didn't film it and that's why I didn't have my equipment with me but it's quite surprising what you can get out of a phone (even if it isn't the best). :)
@@PaskMakes The quality was great, and it would be hard to tell it was all hand-held phone work if you didn't say something. The image stabilization and resolution on today's phones are amazing. Hard to believe it when I used to have to carry loose change as a young adult in order to make phone calls away from home! 😆
"Stop filming" from the very last second of the video was priceless. 👏👍
I had no idea so many steps went into it, and how many specialized tools there are for making that process more efficient. Very cool!
I think that's what I enjoyed most Tharemy, using and learning new tools and techniques. :)
That's an exceptionally well equipped knife shop, even without the tools he made himself. Did you notice that the one belt grinder had a secondary belt on the platen to reduce heat build up?
I will point out that you can do this with files and a drill press.
Pask makes me happy. Love your videos
So happy to see you having some 'Me Time'!!!
Sounded like you both learned and enjoyed!!
Awesome jigs!!!
Thank you Master McIntyre!!!
Thanks Johnson! We really did have an awesome time and yes, thank you again Master McIntyre! :)
Beautiful. Forge On. Fab On. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks Neil for the awesome video
What a beautiful knife you have to go with the tremendous memories! Thanks to you for sharing it (and to the others for being a part of it). Glad you had this opportunity; no surprise, though, that you were invited.
Thanks very much June - we definitely made some good memories! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
As a pocketknife enthusiast, this is amazing to see and understand the steps which separate a good pocket knife from a work of art. Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Is it a lockback? Drive they usually have a hook that engages with the back part of the blade? I didn't see it.
@@EbonyPopeit's not a lockback
Neil never feel intimidated by others, because the rest of the world would love to be able to do just some of the stuff you do. Cheers from the west
Thanks very much Darryl! :)
The “Horizontal grinding” marks on all edges is something that I teach all young fabricators that I work with because it removes the chances of stress risers in all the parts that are made. This is especially helpful in building race car parts, as that’s what I do for a living. It’s a simple but crucial thing to do to all parts!
Thanks for sharing this, Neil. What a fun time, what a great learning experience.
Glad you enjoyed it Vickie! It really was special week! :)
@@PaskMakes Your knife was flat out beautiful.
Nice work besssssssimo I love it
Now that, my friend, is a *gorgeous* Lanny's Clip. Collector/Heirloom quality by the looks!
Cheers!
Dude. I keep watching this video! This is like the 4th time through. Love it!
I just found this channel and so far I’m deeply impressed and now I have to go binge watch the rest of your videos.
What a fun way to spend a week. The video quality looks fine by the way.
I haven't seen such interesting work for a long time !!!))))
Great looking Trapper knives, one of my favorite styles!
"Feel intimidated" Neil you know you top dog
Absolutely beautiful.
Fantastic film. Thank you!
I am unsure if you have a regular job as well as your UA-cam enterprise but you are a lucky man to be spending your time like this. A great life I’m sure. Thank you for your posts. I look forward to them. Cheers mate. 🇨🇦
What a privilege to work with a great craftsman. The knives look beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
I really was very lucky to be invited - glad you enjoyed it Doug! :)
A very beautiful knife. And the phone video didn't detract. You are making me want to make a knife now.
Wow!
Sweet folder!
Alot of work went into making that thing.
Cool man
Beautiful knife. The only thing I would add is a lanyard loop to the back of the knife. This way it replicates the airborne pocket knife style.
While growing up I had a bunch of timber blocks that were all different Aussie timbers, labelled with a black texta.
JAM was always my favourite. Then in my twenties I worked with a guy that brought in a bunch of Jam fence posts from his farm to make wedding gifts.
Loved the smell as it was worked on.
This was an absolute treat to watch, thank you!
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That "stop filming!" cracked me up :D There's a guy proud of what he does - and rightfully so!
What a beautiful knife!!
Awesome!!! Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Very generous of you to make and post this mate, thanks
Gorgeous knives of heirloom quality!
Glad you like them Sean! :)
That turned out beautiful. The world needs more of this.
Thanks very much Jim! :)
I tried making my own pocket knives.
Sliplock. Yours are of a much more precise fit. I thank you for showing me how it's correctly done.
Awesome video!! Looks like all of you master knife makers left your egos at the door and worked beautifully together. Keep the great videos coming, Mr. Pask!!
Thanks very much Dean! We all had a fantastic week. I don't think any of the four of us have any sort of ego - we all got on great with lots of sharing of knowledge! :)
7:57 a dammit doll is something every maker wouldn’t mind having for those moments when you mess something important up
Nice video, nice knife. I made 109 knives so far working on 110, never a folder. I think this might be the kick in my butt video to finally tackle one.
beautiful knives
That was an education, thank-you sir for taking the time to share that with us.
Thanks mate that was so cool to watch
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! It'd be awesome to watch a video of you making a folding knife in your shop.
I can see C.A. glue working for the liners. The rubber tape came undone from a section of sole on one of my Chuck Taylors and I used C.A. glue to put them back together. It's holding even better than I expected.
I kept waiting to see you hit it with your maker's mark!
That turned out great!
My grandfather made knives for a living. He passed away. His name was W.C.Davis
I always thought you had the talent, skill, and patience to make high-level knives.
Fantastic knives! A precision job for sure.
Many thanks Torbjorn
Great group!!!
What a magnificent work of art.
Thanks very much! :)
That’s an awesome knife!
Who knew there was such a vibrant maker culture in a country that doesn't allow you to carry a knife in almost any circumstance.
This was incredibly complicated and I feel very lucky I can go buy a knife and not have to learn 10,000 steps to make one! Shawn McIntyre is an amazing Master Smith, and I have no doubt you were a star pupil!
Super. Really wonderful detailed mechanical process
Not only is he a great knife maker he’s also a hell of a seamstress checkout that coat
It was really great to see how the innnerds of the knife work and see it all come together. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you found it interesting - I had very little idea myself before starting this knife. :)
A knife to be cherished. Do not forget the makers mark, and add No 001
Agreed
What a beautiful knives you did .. WOW.. Congrats
The process was shown well! From this, I think I could do everything other than the metallurgy.
Thanks Steve! Glad you got something out of it, even if it's just a starting point and some inspiration to look into it more. :)
I'm glad I get to see Shawn's shop. I have always enjoyed our all too brief visits.
That forge sounds like a dragon sleeping and snoring :O
quiet impressive !!
Well done. Beautiful.
I mean that’s pretty impressive for your first go at that, I bet there’s a lot of seasoned pros that would put their name on that
Awesome video. I made a folder last week and the instruction in this video gives some insight into the changes I can make to increase the quality of my builds.
Shawn's definitely one of the most all-round, talented knife makers in Australia so you're in about the most capable hands around
Absolutely! He's super talented for sure and an all round great guy! :)
What a top video. Just got a Rockler folding knife kit to make a present for my dad, this is NEXT LEVEL! 👌
Awesome ! Well Done Sir !
You make the greatest things on this channel! Great cell phone video, too! Well done!
Even with the almost cool conditions in QLD lately, going to Melbourne would have been a stretch, glad to see you survived! Always a good trip when learning something new!
Fantastic video. Didn't even realise it was filmed on your phone. Thank you so much for sharing. My pulse rate went up when I saw the notification pop up for this. That's how much I look forward to your videos.
I realize the process was much more in depth than you could show but thanks for the tour. I hope you can make one in your shop at a slower pace.
Never have made a knife but learned some cool tricks. Thanks Pesk.
I’d pay top dollar to take this class. So cool.
Great video Neil. Split Joints are my goal with knife making.
As someone who enjoys making knives I think it's really cool you have been pursuing knifemaking! Expanding your skillset is always important as a craftsman
Thanks Randall - I reckon making knives is fun, I'd do more but the videos never seem to do so well for me. :)
Was looking forward to this! Thanks for releasing it!
Neil, i hope you are as proud of that knife as I would be had I made it! As a folding knife enthusiast I would give a fingertip to own it! Thanks for sharing your process.
Thanks very much Jay - I am very proud of it for sure! :)
Awesome! Definitely make another one and another video 👍
Awesome. Would love to see a more detailed walkthrough
Wow! That was very entertaining! Thank you for sharing. Perhaps I'll get in on a class someday.
I was fortunate enough to be in the shop for about 20 minutes while all these amazing makers were under the one roof..... Talk about intimidating 😂😂 knife looks amazing mate well done. Was awesome to meet you in person too
It was great to meet you too! :)
Another great video.
Fantastic job 👏
Great video Neil and very beautiful knives, thanks for sharing 🙏
Those knives are definitely a step up on the perfection ladder. It's not very often you see someone making knives, on UA-cam, that go to the effort of all those tiny detail (like making sure the spring stays level) that take a knife you'll cherish for the rest of your life to one that will be passed down through (hopefully) a lot of generations of your family. If you are going to make another one, I would love to see another video...... even better would be a min series..... shot at your pace and covering everything. This video has just shown several tools and steps that are totally new to me and I'd love a closer look, please? Thanks for the great video 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating! Thank you.
Great work, it's knife a very good!
That power hammer was made in my small hometown halfway across the globe, how cool!
It’s a small world!!
I would love to see you make one full detail or even a series keep up the great work.
I have such a greater appreciation for the work that goes into making folding knives now, thank you!
i would still watch another, slower paced version when you make it 😀
Glad you got something out of the video Elisabeth! There's a lot of steps but a fun project that I'm itching to have another go at! :)
Great work thanks for showing and describing the process
They are awesome thanks for showing
Like others, I had no idea the are soooooooo many steps to the final product & the many specialized tools & jigs. The carbide punch-like gizmo for taking any bend out with super light taps was an eye opener for me.
Yeah this was the game changer for me too
Great job 😍
Absolutely breathtaking craftsmanship. Thanks Neil, for taking the time to put this vid together. BTW congrats on hitting the 1 mil subscribers
Thanks very much! :)
Perfect! 👏👏👏
