  • 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.

      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!

    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.

      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! 😆

    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!

    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 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
