Fantastic looking knife - top notch! A good trick for keeping the backside of the liners clear of epoxy is before you cut out your liner material, lay some blue tape on the "clear side" (you can get really wide rolls of blue tape, or just multiple strips of standard 2" edge to edge). Then you can just peel the tape off when your epoxy has cured.
Very nice attention to detail. Professional(caring) approach. A couple of questions/comments. Is that Zircote wood that you used for the handle scales? And do you make knives from customers designs, with your input of course? I have a bit of a design for a large recurve “Bowie” that I really would like to see built. Lastly, where are you from? I live in Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. I’m going to subscribe!
Lots of questions lol. It is cocobolo wood for the scales, I would make a knife a customer designed if I thought it was a reasonably good design and I live in the Dallas, TX area.
Nice knife, but I think you'll find that the ridge of the tang protruding from the handle like that makes the grip incredibly uncomfortable for any real use. I've handled a few knives with a similar partially exposed tang like that and they're horrible to hold and use. I'd suggest grinding it smooth with the rest of the handle. Your hands will thank you later on.
The most beautiful knife making video I have ever seen.
That's quite the bushcraft knife. Very practical.
Jesus, that's not a knife it's a magnificent work of art. Beautiful!
I must say Sir,,That’s a Beautiful bushcraft knife !
I spent hours of my life time just to see this beauty thank you.️
The energy is what makes a good knife...or anything else Well done from an old Aussie
I know the soon to be owner. He’s pretty excited. Job well done! Thanks for the vid!
Yes you do! I just mailed it out this morning.
I like Forged in Fire, but watching knife making on UA-cam is much more relaxing.
Beautiful, Great Talent, Thanks for sharing.
Amazing Workmanship, Beautiful Looking bushcraft knife!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Excellent work on the knife.
It is fun to watch from start to a finished knife. I liked seeing you do the logo.
I was presented with a real one of these by the very first recruit section I trained back in 1983. I still have it.
Not sure what you mean lol. I designed this knife and it's real
nice work ,It's very impressive...Great video , a real craftsman at work.
Smart guy smithy!
Brilliant... my favorite blade of all time and a brilliant job you did making it... spectacular.
This is a pure hand to hand combat knife.
What an absolutely amazing knife you made.
Thank you!
Nice 1 sir...from philipines
True skill, absolutely stunning
I’d be proud to be able to make such an item, As I’m sure you are - Good Skills & some.
Awesome work. Especially appreciate showing the hiccups in the process!
Thanks for watching!
That's stunning work, excellent job!
Hello to France , pour votre premier full tang, c.eet sacrément réussi. Que dire à part: longue vie et réussite dans vos projet. God bless you !
Merci et merci d'avoir regardé
@@helmwoodshopandsmithy3582 c est gentil.
I would have liked to see more about your thoughts and techniques on the sheath build. Thanks for the video. Great work
Yea, I need to do a sheath video at some point but I have a house full of kids and dogs. Filming in the leatherworking area is almost impossible lol
Amazing ! Great job and great video!
You got good tools and machines....and you got a good idea....while we're having only angle grinder and driller.. congrats anyway
I didn't always have a lot of tools but I've always made nice knives. That's how I paid for the nice tools.
Awesome work man! I have my Dad's original he picked up during WWII in one of his many adventures.
I used to heavy screwdriver shafts. You could never do such a thing now at a school.
Excellent 👌
Great blade and video
Thanks and thanks for watching, as well.
Sua faca ficou muito bonita. Parabéns. Like from Brazil. 👍🔰
👍well done
great video and amazing knife. I would have put brass pins in there though. Or other pins.
I thought about putting brass corbys in there but I do that all the time. It was nice to try something different. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful. Well done. The original bushcraft knives were made by Wilkinson Sword.
When I was in junior high school, a friend of mine made a long slend dagger.
If you had to charge for all the work you did, how much would you ask for?
That knife sold for $450 with a tooled leather sheath.

That's a good idea. I already use the wide blue tape for my blades.

You can email me at helmcustomknives@outlook.com if you want to discuss having your knife design made. Thanks for watching!
How long would it take to make a dagger without modern tools? Forever? :)
I have a video where I do that, actually. It takes 2 days.
What is the folding knife you used to cut the tape?
That's just a folding box cutter from the hardware store.
for the kitchen is excellent
I was in a Midwest school. The handle was made from a round piece of plexiglass with brass guard and pommel.
You've got the same theme tune as Scotty Kilmer (car repair videos) JFYI
Not surprising. It's just one of the tunes from the UA-cam library.
Que precio tiene ? Y envia a domicilio ?
Me puede decir el precio y cuanto sale en total con envío a sabinas , coahuila , México?
A masterpiece..!
NICE
Great job mate. How long did you spend doing that knife?
Thank you! I'd say around 15 hours total shop time.
Wow

Gotta make what the client specifies. Thanks for watching.
Mantaaap
