    For a simple cut out it turned out nice. That style with CMP s30v for the blade and a sheath up to Ian's standards well, you have a real blade.
    Thanks Dude I really enjoyed that. A simple but great design lan puts on.
    Great job.

    It's nice to finally see someone make a 'homemade' knife with the proper tools. I understand most people don't have a mill, but hardly anyone even seems to have a vertical bandsaw. I would have liked to see more effort put into the blade, but nice work overall.

  • @umberto4321

    Sorry, what I meant was, do you have a favorite online source to buy small quantities of brass sheets, rods or blocks? Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge, I'm a fan.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  9 років тому

      +umberto4321 Still, that's my point, without knowing where you are I couldn't even begin to advice, and unfortunately unless you are located in Sweden I can't really help I'm afraid. Getting small amounts of metal material locally is always better, as shipping tends to become expensive as weights increase.

    Very nice work, and a beautiful design.
    I also like that horizontal belt sander with the spindle sander at the end. I wonder if there's some way to give it a table that wouldn't interfere with using the nose of the belt too? Maybe a pivoting support that let's you move it aside?
    -- Mike

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  10 років тому

      Yeah, I've been considering the same. The issue being mainly since it takes different size spindles, for different radiuses, you'd have to make one table for each size (3 or 4 sizes I believe) and that would be a bit of a hassle.

    • @doubledarefan
      @doubledarefan 10 років тому

    what size brass flat bar is best to use in the handle area, as in the with 1", 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" I guess I'm looking for the average knife making so that you have plenty to work with but not a lot of waste.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  9 років тому

      Unfortunately I cannot. As I mentioned in other comments, I don't remember where I bought the knife blade. However, it was a cheap blade, and I think it was from an online store in Sweden. There are quite a few online stores with blades like these though, one of the most popular European ones is brisa.fi (in Finland). I bet you could find what you want there.

      Unless you're planning on using the pommel as a hammer I don't expect the glue to come apart. It's all personal preference though, I don't personally like the look when the tang comes out the back.
