    A great analogy about this is taking a car that is not a high-end exotic and turn it into your dream car just by doing Simple modifications to it it may not have been what anybody else wanted but after you put your touches on it a lot of people have a tendency to want the same thing and then they want to know how to do it and that's what this knife offers
    Everything's there to make it a banger you just have to take the initial steps to polish and paint and customize to your liking

    Just got a couple Beavercraft knives, since the rest of the world seems to be out and, damn are they some thick metal. Spent a while flattening the grind and reprofiling the roughout, and gotta say I'm kinda impressed with how well they're holding an edge.

    • @AlecLaCasseArt
      @AlecLaCasseArt  Рік тому +1

      Good idea! It was a bit too thick for my preference too!

    I love the changes you made to the handle and may do that to a couple of my beavercraft. I will likely use a linseed on the handle as my finish on the torched handle

    Do what you like and you will become educated. Tool ergonomics are important if you want to enjoy using the tool. Tools do not have to be pretty but it doesn't hurt if they are. Sometimes I buy a tool just because I like the shape and want to see why the maker did that. Is it all aesthetics or is there a reason? I have been enjoying your videos. You are good at showing the how too while talking about the why too.

    Nice idea for the handle, but the finish - oil will not go through the sprayed laquer ;)

    • @AlecLaCasseArt
      @AlecLaCasseArt  Рік тому

      Yes, you are right! I used so little lacquer that the oil still soaked in.

    Awesome!! I like beavercraft knives and the company, but always wondered why they put that type of handle on their knives. This video really inspired what you can do to make a knife have a more personal touch. Thank you for showing! 😁😁😁

      Покупайте лезвия Бивер Крафт и делайте свои ручки , ведь это не сложно. Лучшее дерево для таких ножей береза или осина, они вегда " бархатные" и после обжига изумительные для ладони.

    I recently made myself some carving knives from a circular saw. Maybe I'll show them on my channel😉

  • @user-um8zt9vo1w
    @user-um8zt9vo1w Рік тому

    На многих ручках ( на ножах) я сделал сплошную точечную пирографию - не скользит, очень приятное ощущение.
    Попробуйте. Я так же , как и Вы делаю обжиг и протираю маслом - никакого лака (!) .
    Удач Вам и здоровья . Спасибо 🙏

    Just another tip for viewers... not only can you destroy the temper if you get the blade to hot but it is held in with epoxy which will usually start to break down around 200°f well below what it would take to lose temper. So just use caution. The black handle is really cool though!!

    I'm building my next carving knives over size and advice owners to trim down to their fit as I'll be doing same as all wood handles on hammers and my tools
    If you haven't trim your own hammers to fit you should...

    Beaver craft and flexcut handle will bother my hands unless I’m carving something small like inch by inch piece of wood.

  • @docinparadise
    @docinparadise Рік тому +1

    Funny how you think your hands aren’t large.
    My (admittedly female) hands need a size large unisex surgical glove and the comparison of that knife in your hand and mine is ridiculous. The pointy bit of the handle that you cut off sticks out behind my grip.
    You have big, meaty hands my friend. 😂
