I watch other knife makers hoping to find little tips and tricks. I like the tape idea on your locating pins. I fight those all the time. Tight so they stay equals no epoxy. Losses enough for epoxy, and they fall through. The tape is a simple salutation. Thanks for taking us along with the build.
Thanks for using that steel. I just ordered some from Pops (their advertising in your channel worked 🙂) for some knife projects on a whim, was curious how it would turn out.
Coincidentally i just finished up a fun side project I've been working on for a while. a viking style bearded hatchet/tomahawk. I used 1/4" thick 1095, vintage micarta scales with matching micarta pins. actually came out pretty nice, was a fun new challenge. Pretty sure i have enough 1095 left over that i could make one of these.
The hatchets turned out really cool!
Right on!
I finally have all my raw material to glue up my nightfall blank ! Excited to do more work
Tons of great little hints!
Very well explained. Oftentimes, these basic techniques are overlooked, and suddenly, the work gets ruined.
Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoy these videos. Thank you.
I will definitely be ordering some steel from pops.
Picked up some 8670 from Pop’s and used it for the first time this weekend. I loved working with it.
8670 is some tough stuff! I think only S5 is tougher. You'd practically have a hard time breaking it even straight out of the quench
excellent job!

would love to see you do a review of Grizzly T32459 new belt grinder
Amazing video - as usual! Could you link to the cool drill patent clamp ? (And drill oil you use)?
Maybe some paracord wrapped on those skeleton hatchets would be a nice addition by the future owners.

3:26 That's what she said.
stick tang are easier in terms of pin places. can be the most difficult thing. shitty drill press !
Ha. Has a CNC mill but a worthless drill press. Dude that table flex is awful.
