  • I bought this knife back in december after watching the 5 or so youtube makers that got sent out heir knives by ‪@jimmydiresta‬ make their handles. It did take a while for me to get the knife here in the UK, but the wait was worth the while for such a quality item. I'm not a huge knife person, but this looked like something I needed to buy! But for me it was lacking one thing, and that was a bottle opener, it now has one ready for the BBQ season!

    Hello James,
    You've added a beautiful bottle of acacia to the skeleton knife. This was a good idea. A beautiful handle and a magnificent knife. Moreover, it is multifunctional. Congratulations. See you. Stay healthy and happy. Big greetings.

    corner off the back end myself) 🔪 👍 😊

      @JamesManCave  3 роки тому +2

      Hiya Tony, I thought you might be interested in this one, that back corner I had originally intended to drill a small hole in it and attach a leather strap to it, but I think it's way to hard to drill! But I hadn't considered grinding it back! Hmmm 🤔🤔👍

    • @Everythings_Adjustable

      Hi Frank, no definitely won't be throwing this one around to much, it will be one of my main BBQ tools, I considered the epoxy, but not always had great results with it in the past, (possibly to cold when I've poured it before) so I thought better of it this time. Cheers Frank 👍

      I loved that you can see the logo on the handle. Aren't you afraid that when you cut something the blade would come off of the handle? I thought the slot should have been on the bottom, not the top 🤔
      Bottle opener addition is 💯!!

    • @JamesManCave
      @JamesManCave  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching Andi, no not really concerned about the blade slipping out of the handle, there plenty of epoxy holding it in. I was tempted to put 2 pins in the handle, but the metal is heat treat so it's a bit hard to drill out 👍
