- A brief explaination and demonstration of the advantages of using this wonderful tool. As well as showing you how to use a head knife, I will also be demonstrating how to keep the knife razor sharp.
If you have any questions, then please drop them in the comments. If you have any requests for Tips, Tricks and Tools videos based on anything you have seen elsewhere on the channel do feel free to get in touch.
Videography (as always) by my great friend James over at prowlingtigerm...
6:45 the way you fan the knife in your hand talking about how dangerous it is was terrifying 😳
Great video, exactly my question on why that knife, and how its used. Thank you
Thanks. The most important thing to remember is to store the knife properly. I now hang it between two pegs on the wall. Every time I have cut myself with this knife it's because it was either loose on a bench or in a drawer and I was looking for something else. A leather sheath also helps reduce the chance of injury. It has one of those now too. :)
Thank you for the practical sharpening information. Wonderful
It's the little skills, like how to sharpen tools, that need to be passed on before they are lost forever. I learned this from an old leather worker, now I've passed it on and that makes me feel more hopeful. :)
Thank you for demonstrating how to sharpen the head knife.
You're welcome... 😀

Thanks. You're most welcome.😁
I haven't gotten one yet, but I am getting more serious and thinking of maybe selling items. I saw and awesome Damascus head knife at Tandy last time I was there. I might try to hint I want it for my birthday in November.
Go for it, on both counts... :)
Great video, but please drop the music.
Thanks... Will make a note... 😀
May I enquire as to the details of a suitable Emery Paste please?
They are all much of a muchness. I use a course emery paste made by BolPol. My tin is quite old now, but still useable. Just google BolPol Emery paste and you should be good to go. 😀
