Everything has a starting point and this was the start of the skiving knife which was I originally designed and made just for my personal leather working.

Amazing! There's something about knife making and leathercraft that "calls for me" thanks for being so inspiring in your words and videos. IDK if I ever make a living out of it, but certainly it gives more life to my days

[@rockranger3037]

Thanks for the positive message, really inspiring. Good on you for having a go

[@D.J.M.47]

I have a pen business I've had since 2014. I am always struggling with things. I always done some type of leathercraft. I am a self made tool maker myself, but I dont sell them. And your video has inspired me to keep on going. Thank you for your story.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Yes, keep pushing, keep going and learn to make friends with the struggle. The struggle can teach you so much. Regards Terrick

With my limited 30 odd years of working, I found your first trade is the hardest to obtain. I am a marine trimmer, heavy diesel fitter and a hydraulic fitter, with both A & B in hydraulics. Yes I do get bored quickly but I also love learning new stuff. I am now in the process of moving into leather craft.
But totally agree, never give up and never allow yourself to stress. Love the vids, just show me anything I will watch it. Content is only a fraction of the reason people watch UA-cam vids.👍

[@CHARTERMADE]

You on an exciting new journey with leather craft, have fun learning and making

[@stephenranti173]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I started an Etsy store 2 Days ago with my handmade knives. Like you I was very concerned on putting my name on them. Had it not been for Family and Friends I may still not have done it. Then this video pops up I guess this is the "FAITH" part of the formula! Keep up the great videos, I always enjoy them when they come out!

[@sizwesithole1769]

how's it man. thank for encouragement. I'm into leather products too. start 2016 and I started it in pain a tears.

[@isaiahglynn3622]

Thank you for this it is nice to see hand made great quality knives.

[@hanobester]

Thank you for this video, I struggled tonight with a pencil case I am making for my daughter. Needed Fritz and your encouragement. Blessings

[@rawhideadventures9515]

Thank you for some history and scenery.

[@me_jt]

Thanks for sharing the history of your growth and growing pains. There is value in all of it. Your words of encouragement for those of us looking to make a name for ourselves is huge too.
Many thanks. God bless.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks so much we really appreciate your comment.

[@antonsullivan6262]

Hi fellow South African, living in Spain these days and recently stumbled across you Vids. For a number of years now I'm making leather stuff for my own use. I truly love your tutorials an can already see how my work improves. Keep up the good work and keep the vids rolling in. Say hi to the boere Oom (nice chap ) making that quality knifes. He surely is an inspiration to the great people of South Africa.👍

[@CHARTERMADE]

Anton, thanks for your message and Im very happy you are enjoying the videos. Oom Fritz is a good chap and Im looking forward to visiting again soon. Keep safe your side of the world.

[@donrowe1127]

great words of encouragement! Keep the faith, work hard!

[@CHARTERMADE]

thanks for your message, glad you enjoyed it

[@pearldiver66]

Thank you for sharing the beginnings of the knife journey with us. You always have such encouraging words of persistence and patients. It seems to be a struggle between perfection and fear of failure at times for me. I appreciate you posting this Episode i made my first "dopp" bag yesterday ironically it taught me so much. I can't wait to see your version. Keep up the fantastic work Master Terrick & Co!

[@CHARTERMADE]

Nice one on getting a dopp kit made. Keep pushing to the limits of your fear and a new world will open up for you.

[@lx_anda]

Awesome that was interesting hearing how it all started. I was thinking, the trip, some parts looked like New Zealand and then the American West as someone has commented!

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks for your message

[@injurylad1]

Love this message and thank you for sharing your story

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it

[@tomandalbert]

Fabulous video! Thanks for the journey.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks for the comment Tom, we appreciate it.

[@EdwardIglesias]

I tried making my first sheath based, at least in part, on your video. I find leatherwork much harder than bladesmithing. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks for the message, I have heard more than a few knife makers say the same thing. I used to make a lot of sheaths for many different makers years ago.

[@PermaPen]

Well said!

[@stimpsonjcat67]

Dude's got the same crappy bandsaw I have! Glad to see you posting again!

[@CHARTERMADE]

Hahah, I have the same one also. Works good enough, thanks for your message

[@stationbox]

Great video.

[@tonalis]

I would like to see more your videos. I mean more often, if possible

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks and we working hard to add more videos more often.

[@carpediem_68]

👏😊

[@timkrenz2891]

i have this knife and it is sharp and i use green rouge on it with stropping what can i do to be a little more aggressive i do have a 4000 grit wet stone could i use this to tune it up some????

[@CHARTERMADE]

Hi Tim, Yes your stone should work. I have a video on the channel on how to sharpen the knife. Stropping is good but touching up the edge on a stone is just as important. Regards Terrick

[@DevlinFrohlich]

Do you do lessons?

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Ek het hierdie film baie geniet. wonderlik om te sien hoe vakmanskap geskep word. hou dit aan kameraad

[@CHARTERMADE]

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Please fix your checkout, I don't care what it costs in Indian money, I need to know what it costs in dollars!
