    You have amazing patience and I applaud you. I threw mine together, skipping most of those steps...Mine turned out really great, yours is a product that you know is superior because you put more love into it.... Nice work my friend :)

    This is extremely, extremely well crafted. You should be proud of your work and I hope you continue to improve your craft as you practice and time goes on. Much better than anything I have put together so far.

    It turned out beautifully! I would love to own a knife as well crafted as this with that much work and care put into it. Right now I'm looking to restore a vintage Boy Scout knife and the leather handle is coming apart. This video was super helpful and informative. Is there no need to dry the leather at any point?

    Nice knife 👍. Suggestion :
    You should squeeze the handle from the tip of the knife to the butt of the handle... So it will be no gap

  • @geoffreyboyling615

    Very Good! ......... Here are a couple of comments
    At about 3min 20sec toy show tin plate and say it is a traditional material
    We know that for a long time, going back to prehistoric times, there was a lot of communication and trading around northern Europe and the North Sea, between Britain, Scandinavian and Baltic countries, and further across Europe to the Mediterranean
    So perhaps the tin used for tools, jewellery and ornaments in those areas came from Cornwall, in Britain?
    I've never made a stacked leather knife, but I do make narrow tang knives with a brass bolster, then various pieces of wood, spacers, and so on
    Sometimes the fit of the bolster is kinked or distorted after the glue has set - very annoying and frustrating!
    So now I glue just the bolster onto the knife with 5 - minute epoxy glue, and hold it in place till it has set
    Then, if that's right, I make up the rest of the handle with 24 hour epoxy; the fixed bolster makes a good support for the rest of the handle, and there aren't usually any more problems.

    What can this shape of the blade be useful for? I tried it on the hunt for boar skin but it did not help at all. For cutting vegetables or meat completely unsuitable. It is only for wood, what can be the use that will excel? Amazing job, very nice knife.

    • @angqvist
      @angqvist  4 роки тому

      Stamps for patterning, edge beveler to clean edges, leather dye, needle and thread. We have been making leather crafts for a long time so there is nothing mysterious or high tech about it. 😄I suggest you buy a full piece of full grain leather 15 square feet and start practicing

    • @WoodfulProjects

    Forresten et godt råd ...brug nitril handsker når du limer...epoxy trænger lige igennem dem du bruger der.

    You should never use wood glue on leather, it drys hard and snaps once leather is bent... contact cement is much better and easier to use.

    • @MooreLeather
      @MooreLeather 7 місяців тому

      Agree 100%. The only glues I use for leather are rubber or neoprene based...as they remain flexible when dried

    • @dmitryk754
      @dmitryk754 3 місяці тому

      No need here to be flexible, wood glue would actually work ok here. Most use epoxy for this so wood glue is also ok.

    Drilling the holes in the leather created a lot of leather DUST
    I hope you had a good mask on: leather dust is HIGHLY CARCINOGENIC, a one-time exposure can be all you need.
    A warning to viewers to always wear a dust mask could be handy

    Nope… It looks more like a shank than a knife! You can’t piecemeal and hope for symmetry. If you’re building for utility, great job but if you’re building for craftsmanship… 4.5 out of 10.

  • @jerrypoparad3698

    Video's like this are not very useful when there is no accompanying dialog. What dyes did you use on the leather handle. What type of wax?

    • @angqvist
      @angqvist  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Jerry! I try to show all the things I use, e.g. at 13:13 I show what I put on the leather handle. There was no dye. The handle turns darker from the leather fat and sanding :) Let me know if you have any other questions

    • @fuzzle9392
      @fuzzle9392 4 роки тому +1

      Mr Poparad, That response speaks volumes about you. Did you actually watch the video? Do you really need dialogue? You were shown every single thing that you needed to be shown. You should already have known through living life, when you aren't asleep, that leather naturally darkens if you put oil or wax on it. People like you are not very useful due to their lack of observational skill and negativity when someone has taken the time to give specific, clear, visual instruction. Now keep your eyes open and wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth.
