Watch part One on knife handle ergonomics - ua-cam.com/video/uWciYiDaQ6Y/v-deo.html Check out Peter's custom carving knives - www.soulwoodcreations.com
I love the way peter said "I am still Learning". This is a great sign of Humility. A handy trick that I use. I Don't glue the Bolster first. I drill the Tang hole instead of Burning and then make the hole in the bolster using small drill bit and files. Then you can glue the Bolster on with the Blade. I use Dowel with a slot cut out of it to go around the tang which adds to the structural integrity of the knife & fills the Drill hole with the tang. Well, I use this technique for my Kitchen knives. I have not made a carving knife, but the principle is still the same.
I will not lie. Looking at Peter carve the facets with the knife, I held my breath each time he encountered a different grain direction and a splinter developed. Masterfully done. Watched the whole thing in one sitting.
Indeed it's amazing how many steps and nuances there are in the entire making process, many thanks for watching Ken and best of luck in making your own ~Peace~
I will second this comment - one of the best and most informative video I have seen - all of them have been great and you have surpassed yourself - ready to tackle a handle I have been putting off for a long time - thanks to you and Peter
I really enjoyed watching Peter’s process. After recently creating a couple of handles for some blades from Green Haven Forge, I picked up several tips to improve my process if I do any more. I love Peter’s handle design. The most aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic design I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I watched your wideo in one sit with my full concentration. This one and the other about the ergonomics of handle is the best set of videoes about knife handling I ever watched. I do my own carving blades and handles but watching Peters work help me to understand how important the handle design and fitting the blade is. Thank you Peter for the great lectures , thank you Zed for your choise of wright master, asking good questions that we might like to ask and nice filming .👏👏👏
Your videos are an incredible resource Zed. I love the precision of Peter's work and he truly makes beautiful knife handles. Gave me tool envy as he has some great equipment for helping speed up the process
To start Thank You! To take time out of your day both of you so that you can educate us on a interesting art form. It was for me ,relaxing, well communicated, educational and a great way to learn a new skill (When I try this myself) whilst enjoying a cuppa! Cheers guys!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words Mark and to hear you enjoyed the video. It means a lot to both Peter and I, stay blessed my man and take care ~Peace~
I love to see that one of our countryman makes such a beautiful tools. I am very happy for this. Gyönyörű szerszámok. One day I would be happy to own one of Péters tool. Awesome vid Zed. Thanks a lot.
just watched this all in one and never lost interest, great video quality and perspective, and a great teacher. Im a student luthier and im going to use this to create my first carving knife that will be used for the guitars i build in the future, thanks guys!
I use a small bubble level attached to my drill and place another one on the piece to be drilled. This helps me achieve straight drilled holes. Great video, love your work.
Awesome video... the first axe handle I carved was ash . Very nice... I used walnut oil on it and it has turned quite dark amber. I love the way it looks... but learning the different finishes is a learning curve too .
Only recently got a Westermann knife in need of a handle, PERFECT timing. I love this! I'll pick up a small piece of ebony tomorrow :) Thank you Peter and Zed!!! Oh SO MUCH!
Great video again Peter and Zed, Peter is a natural instructor of his craft and is easy to listen to... may I say, when using the Map Torch, hold it back from the metal more, the light blue flames are unburnt gas, the most heat is about 10mm+ in front of them. Thanks again.
Friendly fellow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! Just saw it the right time as I am about to make a handle for a carving knife I made from an old circular saw blade.
What I like to do is fit the main handle and the bolster separately. That way you can go into the handle with all your tools, drill bits, brooch, endmill and whatnot and leave an ugly entrance hole, then really be careful with the bolster to get a nice fit. And that works if you want to have a metal, bone, horn or other material that you can't burn in. And yes definitely use a little endmill in a dremel tool or even in the hand drill to join those holes, it cuts sideways about 57 times better than a drill bit and makes it a breeze to carve a slot in just about any wood.
@@Zedoutdoors Far from it Zed: Peter is one of those rare folks who can make you see a commonplace object in a whole new light. You're doing great work here mate👍
Thank you Zed - it is so helpful to see how a perfect handle was made. Once again it was an honor for me to be able to watch one of your videos. Many thanks and best regards🙏🙏🙏✌🏽peace
What a stonkingly good team you make. Thank you so much to you both. If not confident, I at least now know the steps needed to make something resembling a handle and hopefully something as beautiful, ergonomic and elegant as this. I've got a blade on order, I have some yew and a little bit of ebony... trouble is I'm an impatient sort so lets see.. My other half in in England now so will be bringing back the blade on his return.. Meanwhile I will do a little prep and some practise! Thanks Zed, peace brother.
There's a myriad of ways of approaching the topic of handling, one advantage with Peter is that he's handle literally hundreds of blades so has lots of experience with it ...yet always learning. Excited to see how your handle unfolds unfold and your wood selection sounds lush. As always Alex I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
I’ve made the same mistake myself! Nothing wrong with giving it a shot! I found certain epoxy resins worked well by mixing 75kg (5min) with 150kg (6-8hrs). It depends on ratio, temperature for the hardening to react, but once you find the “Goldilocks effect” it’s a win all round💪🏼
Ah nice you made an axe handle with the man himself, I have the axe handle videos coming out soon on the channel! Many thanks for watching and for the kind words dude ~Peace~
Thumbs up for the wonderful tutorial and video production. This made me realize that I will never be able to do something like this on my own but hey it was super entertaining
Another awesome video Zed. I am about to handle and glue some twca cam blades and this video really gave me instruction and insight I have not been able to find elsewhere. Thank you! Love your tutorials Zed. Best place I spend my time on UA-cam.
Thanks for the video. I know you said you are using your band saw because of time, but it would have been nice to see how you would do it if you used another knife. I don't have tools or a home. But I do have access to pen and paper for templates. Again thank you. You gave me a start on how to do it correctly. Now just need another video of a person carving a handle out of wood. ✌️🦁
@@Zedoutdoors Thank you Zed. I just did a quick peak and will watch the whole video later. I am a poor knife collector and want to start spoon carving. I bought a bps and my garberg showed up at UPS yesterday. I see blanks for sale, so I wanted to learn about carving handles. Thank you for giving me a start. The fun part will be experimenting with my folders knives to carve too. 🤣🤣🤣 Folding knife collectors forget that you can cut more than paper and cardboard with folding knives. Take care and thank you again, ✌️🦁 From San Diego.
May I give one bit of advice? When you get the epoxy set in the tang hole - use a q-tip with acetone to wipe away the excess and you wont have to clean anything up after... usually. ;)
Interesting. This afternoon I’ve just made a Mora style handle for a Beavercraft knife that had a 💩 of a handle. I did mine in two halves and chiseled out a groove for the tang
I made myself a kind of broaching tool by just gluing an upwards cutting jigsaw blade in a handle. It has teeth just on one side, but works ok. If you take a very wide blade or even one from a sawzall (maybe a broken one), you could file teeth on both sides.
I enjoyed Peter's video, excellent job both of you. Any chance you would share your handle patterns as a picture or PDF or just the dimensions? I took a class from Jo Jo Wood at the Woodwright school in NC, USA and was given the opportunity to use a faceted handle, what a difference in tool control and grip tension. Thank you for the first video I shared it with my group of carvers and everyone was impressed and have now shared this video as well, so hopefully they will leave comments also. I have since made several handles this way for my knives, but your first video explains why this is a better grip, at least for me. Peter, Zed again thank you.
A sincere thank you for your kind words and for sharing this video with others. JoJo is an amazing carver as well as instructor so you were very fortunate to spend time with her. Alas Peter does not have a template available currently so my apologise about that, hopefully the segments in this video where Peter marks out the shape can help guide you to making your own. Kindest regards and thanks once again! ~Peace~
I have a question: Is there a good way to secure the blade without epoxy? I want to keep it as natural or traditional as possible. Thanks for the videos guys, theyve been a huge help
i really like peter's design of the handle i have made a few but not really happy with them and the fit in the hand would there be any chance of the templates for his handle i have 2 more knives to put handles on , i made the blades and think they would benefit from peter's expertise of his handle design please could you ask peter if there is any chance thank you
Peter has countless templates he uses for the knives he makes as they vary somewhat, hence he's not able to provide one which will work for most people. My best advise is to sketch out the shapes you've seen in this video and make the overall shape and length suitable for your needs. Hope that helps and appreciate you watching ~Peace~
По геометрии ручки очень хороши, но лично я на таких рукоятках не приемлю никаких граней , это только красота , но неудобство в работе. Рукоятка именно резчицкого ножа не должна тереть ладонь гранями . Правда это сугубо мое мнение . Успехов Вам в изготовлении хорошего инструмента ! 👍🙏🤝👋
even it is interesting for me to watch, but I actually put hundreds of knives and other tools on the handles. True, I do this in a slightly different way, I drill a hole close in size to the thickness of the cutting and choose to the required width with a specially made crochet with a sharpened tooth, it turns out quickly and accurately, so you can make curved grooves, sometimes it is necessary, for example, for semicircular chisels that do it myself. it turns out a very tight fit that does not require glue, I do not like to use it where you can do without it.But it is interesting to look at your work, thanks)
Indeed there are many different techniques for doing this and Peter simply shared what works for him. Appreciate you sharing your process too Andrew and for watching ~Peace~
Hi zed I have 120(c) mora wood carving knife well I left it setting out one I had to run out for a little bit when I got back I found it laying on the floor and my dog looking guilty he'd had got it and chewed the butt of the handle off but now iv trident to make on whit result so my question is dose Peter Sally handles
I'm not sure if he sells handles seperately,so worth messaging him through his website or Instagram. Links to those are in the description just below the video ~Peace~
Bonjour, je suis désolé de ne pas parler anglais, mais je pense qu'il serais bien de mettre des sous-titres afin d'avoir une traduction pour un meilleur partage et une meilleure compréhension du savoir faire de tout les artistes que vous présentez. En tous cas, merci pour vos démonstrations.
Je pense que UA-cam a une fonctionnalité où il traduit les sous-titres dans différentes langues, cliquez sur l'icône de la roue sur la vidéo et j'espère que vous pourrez lire les sous-titres en français ~Peace~
I have linked to Peters Instagram in the description below the video, feel free to message him there and i'm sure he'll answer your question reg the plane ~Peace~
Yes your typical sloyd knife should be about 3mm thickness, but they do vary depending on use. Some are thinner for more delicate work and some are thicker for heavier stock removal ~Peace~
Just an Observation....If Peter would have heated up BOTH sides of the tang and heated more red he probably wouldnt have had to heated so many times and not having to redrilled Here's Why ...The side he didnt heat pulled the heat away the side that he heated causing the entire tang to cool off too quickly to finish the entire burn-in ...If both sides would have been heated evenly to "Cherry Red" it would have burned in one or two heats...

I like the no nonsense simplicity of the handle. It's a tool after all.
Most definitely and thank you for watching ~Peace~
Peter is a great presenter, a man of great talent. Thank you.
Amen to that my friend, amen ~Peace~
Never realized how many things there were to think about when making a handle. I learned a lot and very glad I watched this before trying it.
Indeed it's amazing how many steps and nuances there are in the entire making process, many thanks for watching Ken and best of luck in making your own ~Peace~

Just an Observation....If Peter would have heated up BOTH sides of the tang and heated more red he probably wouldnt have had to heated so many times and not having to redrilled Here's Why ...The side he didnt heat pulled the heat away the side that he heated causing the entire tang to cool off too quickly to finish the entire burn-in ...If both sides would have been heated evenly to "Cherry Red" it would have burned in one or two heats...
Appreciate the feedback Chris, thank you ~Peace~
