Thanks for all the information and tutorial vids. I just started making knives a couple months ago, and its been really helpful to see you explain and do al lot of these things!
Love it man I’m gonna try some of these, I’ve been using mostly black walnut but I just placed my first order from makers material supply and ordered a box of various handle materials to experiment with
Very helpful. I just had a thought. I have gobs of veneer stock languishing in storage. What about gluing up a number of layers of same or various veneers until they are about 1/4” thick and using that for scale stock? I’m slowly working on my first knife and although I have lots of woodworking and various shop skills, I don’t know jack about this wonderful craft. Your thoughts welcomed.
Great information. I worked for Western Cutlery for a long time till the company went under. I still enjoy building knives. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching

Your videos are really good. Nice production quality without a lot of obnoxious B-role footage, just good information, tips, and techniques. 👍🏼
Really appreciate that!!

Wow, amazing amount of understandable knowledge. Thanks a lot. Handle material is as important as blade material.
Thank you for watching!

It's very hard to get orange vulcanised liners!
Do you have any links.
I'm in Ireland, thank you
Maybe maritime knife supply ?
Just started making knives why do you have to stabilize a hard wood like walnut. Thanks for any help
You want to stabilize any wood you use, just to make sure you won’t have problems down the road
This guy is one of the best knife maker on UA-cam hands down 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Thank you👊
Do you stabilize the Iron wood? Thanks
You can but it doesn’t seem to help it out much.
Besides KMG any other grinders you recommend? OBM? Pheer?
Go With the KMG TX and never look back
Please explain using liner materials. Many different types and thicknesses are confusing. Thanks!
I will do that!

Any videos working with Yuma?
I don’t think I’ve done any. It finishes super easy though! Hand sand to 2000 grit and buff 🤩
Where do you find your Ironwood?
I buy it from three or four different sources. eBay actually has a lot to chose from!
butcher block oil on wood handle ok ?
I don’t see why not !
