Very nice to see you making the knife handles and getting ready to make the knifes. I remember my wood working projects as a boy. Very satisfying to see the wood turn into a very usable item with my efforts.
It was fun watching the crafting of these beautiful "mall smörkniv"! The wood looks beautiful! I can hardly wait to see them after they are finished! Thanks for sharing your culture and your skills in this special way!
Best friggin butter knives in teh world. Space grade materials, Swiss precision and most importantly: human touch. You can order them online for "absurd" amount of money, but hey, you are too good for shit from China and you know it.
You are very lucky to have your father teach you about wood working. I regret not taking wood working course in college 25 years ago. If I would've taken the course I would be able to build so much right now. What a beautiful knife it is going to turn out once it's dried and sanded out and oiled. Can't wait to see the completed work.
As a father the same age as your father what a wonderful time spent together creating beautiful gifts. Enjoy your time with Dad! Great video and music!
Kinda new to your channel and I love it so far. Nice workshop! My father in law makes knifes- metal. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with us
Your Dad is a Pro at folding a bandsaw blade. ive tried many times and always end up cutting fingers. gave it up as a bad job now. Fantastic Video, Love to see the old craftsmen at work. Cheers.
You and your Dad are very resourceful. I can't imagine the hours that went into the butter knives. Who ever receives one cherish it because a lot of love and time went into them.
I think your Dad and probably your Mom are untapped treasures of talent and information. Your parent's blog is very interesting and would be great to see some of their activities on video now and then.
I'm new to your channel, but I'm really enjoying it. You're so fortunate to have a father and siblings with so many useful skills and so much valuable experience to learn from and to have them help you!
Great video, brought tears to my eyes remembering working with my Dad in his shop who just passed away this summer. Really enjoy the acoustical background music and can't wait for part II.
Another excellent video Simeon. Please consider making some available to purchase. It would make a wonderful momento of your channel. Looking forward to the next video.
Beautiful knife. I am a Finnish-Canadian & was fortunate to have a family friend that made kitchen utensils. I have several spoons, spatulas & knives ... and shoe horns. My knives are just made out of a single type of wood ... I really like the 'beefier' handle. Very nice design!
I first discovered these wooden butter knives when I was in sweden in 1978. I bought two, and brought them home with me, and I still have and use them!
I had forgotten my love of woodworking. Years ago as a young mother I worked in a "hand made" furniture factory and had to change the bandsaw blades. Mostly I did sanding and routing. I have missed it and not known it. Yes I even folded the blades like Papa. Simeon I loved the walk down memory lane. Love to all and thank you.
They look like they will be lovely, especially with the two tone handles!!!! As someone said - hope you have a few for sale too!!!! Wonderful to see them being made, including boards from a log ( I assume from your property).....
Pricetag for swedish butter knife, is kidney, but it's totally worth. It's a friggin heirloom. Your grandchildren will think fondly of you while smearing butter on bread. Hell, you should buy two like right now.
Just popping by this video again to pick up the Amazon link to make a purchase for roof sealing stuff. Looking forward to part 2 of the butter knife. Just thinking would work great as a spatula for applying the roof seal compound I am buying..lol.
I saw this project and I decided to copy the design and make it. I made it and In the process I had a lot of fun. I was inspired because they built it from scratch, they took their wood from a block of wood. I used power tools and hand tools. I added dowels to the handle for design effect. I drilled shallow holes on both sides of the handle for the dowels, I should have drilled the holes all the was through For a perfect line up. I used walnut for the hande and maple for the blade. I will use lght mineral oil for a finish. I dont think it will ever be used but it is a beautiful object to look at, so we will keep it here in the kitchen as a conversation piece. love it.
Great shop.... I just remembered that I have some Ironwood that I cut about thirty years ago. It is well named. Almost tossed it several times as it has some checks, but this will be an awesome project for it. Not as pretty as your cedar (?), but really TOUGH. Thanks - took a screen shot for the pattern :-) Also have a bunch of bits of walnut etc. lying around. Great channel.
Yeah, you better use cedar. Butter can be though cookie. I've seen hungry people with slice of bread in one hand and broken ironwood butter knife in other one. And tears of despair on their faces. Oh the humanity... Don't be fool like them, use cedar. And for best results, do not use anything thinner than 2 inches.
I just love watching you guys! Tell your dad that he is an inspiration- I was certainly impressed with the saw blade folding trick! Can't wait till you choose (hopefully me)! Thanks for sharing - and what a great idea for your anniversary!
Don't be silly man. Do you think that swedes would part with HANDMADE SWEDISH BUTTER KNIFE MADE BY REAL SWEDES FROM REAL SWEDISH FIREWOOD IN SWEDISH WORKSHOP. Try that shit in IKEA and see what happens. Good luck you unswedish heathen.
Truly a lost talent. Great video and so much respect for your craft. Would love to win a butter knife but the video is a gift within it self. Thank you for sharing
LOL I love my butter knife...I swear it makes butter, toast and jam taste better! Cooking is an art and cooking with art...perfect blend. Do you make rolling pins?
Great video. I watched in amazement as Papa folded his band saw blade. I watched that segment over and over. Still - I slice my face to ribbons! Oh well - just keep trying for another 10 years! Just something I never quite got the hang of. Maybe I'm not holding my mouth just right!
Alright if you have the workshop and fancy tools. I made mine from a fallen birch branch, hand carved and sitting in garden. Tools used. Bahco Laplander saw, eka folding knife, sandpaper and IKEA board oil. Simples 👍
Simeon, you look just like your dad, I bet you get that a lot. Cool video to watch, craftsmen at work. I would sure love to have one of those knives. :D
Your dad makes it all look so easy! That wood is beautiful. Makes me want to get our new to us, old band saw up and running! Your dad also snaps that saw blade beautifully! Love this video

Really enjoyed watching your dad's craftsmanship.
My dad and I are working together today, and now just watched you two do the same. Living the good life, we won't have this forever. :)
I hope the people that get this appreciate all the hand work that went in to it. Not easy and some people will take it for granted. beautiful.
Very nice to see you making the knife handles and getting ready to make the knifes. I remember my wood working projects as a boy. Very satisfying to see the wood turn into a very usable item with my efforts.
What a privilege to still be able to work with your father. Love your channel. God bless you and your family.
What a privilege to watch a greatly skilled craftsman at work - thanks for sharing!

That fancy move with the saw blade was AMAZING...LOL Had to watch that a few more times. Bravo!
Very nice. Happy to see your dad is up and moving. Remember, once he gets his campers built, I am there.
Beautiful knife. I am a Finnish-Canadian & was fortunate to have a family friend that made kitchen utensils. I have several spoons, spatulas & knives ... and shoe horns. My knives are just made out of a single type of wood ... I really like the 'beefier' handle. Very nice design!
Do you have friggin deathwish? Beefier handles are only proper one. It's frozen butter. Stay safe man.
What a great video! A real pleasure to,watch. Well done!
Wow such wonderful craftsmanship
Your dad is a badass! Love how he tripple looped that band saw blade in 1 move.
Beautiful, love watching the magic of wood, can't wait to see the finished piece.
Thank you for sharing the whole process. So many steps. May I know what kind of wood were used?
Very cool!! We love watching and sharing your videos.
The music selections were great!
How cool to see the process! Awesome blessing to have your Dad pass his knowledge to his son's.

Great workmanship
Great skill in removing the wood exactly and not fingers love it
great work! Beautiful pieces!

What an interesting life you live. You are living on the butterknife edge man.
This was awesome. Can't wait to see the end result
You guys make that look..."as easy as cutting butter"..! Great job .
Loved you Father's saw blade flip!
Great shop.... I just remembered that I have some Ironwood that I cut about thirty years ago. It is well named. Almost tossed it several times as it has some checks, but this will be an awesome project for it. Not as pretty as your cedar (?), but really TOUGH.

If you want a wooden knife that will cut, try Macassar Ebony.
An AWESOME Channel for sure . Thanks for the Great videos Merry Christmas !
The magic trick at 3:38 was awesome!!! Lol. Been there done that a few times that man has.
Really lovely video. Thank you.
Great video! Nice equipment
The bandsaw is epic. I hope to someday have one like it.
This is fantastic!
Very cool. Just found your channel I subscribed right away. I would love to make one of these for my mother. Again very cool nice video 👍👏😎
Nice work guys. . Greatings from Slovenia
I would appreciate a narration. For instance, what kind of wood are you using? How thick are you cutting it? And more.
Nice work fellas, what is the name of the song that plays in the beginning of part one?
Great video to start my day! Can I ask who plays the second song?
Very nice indeed! What wood are you using for the grip? As always, Peace, Love and Light my friends!!!
What is your source for the music on this? The first half specifically. Great guitar playing.
+Matthew Fischer first song is rondillermusic.com
Swedish Homestead thank you, I'll check him out!
How thick is the wood after the thickness planer? Tks
your dad folding the saw was the best
Love how your dad folds the bandsaw , didn't think that was a thing !
Nice job, Thought with all going on and winterizing you make them during the long winter time.
I gave you a thumbs up just for how you folded the saw blade.
Just had my husband watch your video! We are inspired by this. My husband asks what the round log wood is that your using for the blade of the knife.
Juniper and walnut! Just saw your reply in the comments :-)
+Annette Anderson it is Juniper.
Thanks for the reply. We have juniper in our hedge row.... I have already gone out scouting for a branch to remove and bring in to dry.
Awesome!
Can't wait to see the final product!
Great video!!! What's the name of the first song please?
Do you dry the wood after cutting it from the tree branch?
I just love watching you guys! Tell your dad that he is an inspiration- I was certainly impressed with the saw blade folding trick! Can't wait till you choose (hopefully me)! Thanks for sharing - and what a great idea for your anniversary!
Beautiful!
Amazing video. Great talent making the knives. I hope I win one.
Don't be silly man. Do you think that swedes would part with HANDMADE SWEDISH BUTTER KNIFE MADE BY REAL SWEDES FROM REAL SWEDISH FIREWOOD IN SWEDISH WORKSHOP.
Try that shit in IKEA and see what happens.
Good luck you unswedish heathen.
My grandmother was a Peterson. I want a Swedish butter knife! :)
Beautiful wood! Are the handles made from Walnut?
Why do you not stack 2 or 3 when trimming on the band saw? Would make things faster and easier...
just loved that blade roll up!
wow thats nice a swedishe butter knife would like to have one that you and your dad made
Can you tell me what kind of glue you are using?
Truly a lost talent. Great video and so much respect for your craft. Would love to win a butter knife but the video is a gift within it self. Thank you for sharing
