I'm a guy who loves to make things, most knives. If i need something, like a tool, i prefer to build it on my own, so i'm sure that i have what i wanted. I have and had a lot of hobbies, but making knives is something that is very strong for me, a really passion that grows more each knife i make, and i hope one day to be like the men that inspire me here on youtube.
This was super informative, as someone who just started blacksmithing and plans to make a hori hori/soil knife soon. You are a much better craftsmen than me, so I don’t want to come off as insulting because your work is beautiful, but there are a few things about the design that could improve the functionality. One portion of the blade should be serrated and gnarly for cutting roots. This could be on the portion you didn’t put an edge. It’s also nice on these tools when there is a little sharp notch for cutting twine, roots or anything else you come across while working. Thanks for making this.
Très beau couteau et belle réalisation, c'est juste la trempe ou j'ai un doute lorsque tu y frotte la lime et que cette dernière accroche alors qu'elle devrait pas...
Thanks for your beautiful videos. you make wonderful knives, but.....this is not a real Sardinian knife (Resolza) as ancient tradition dictates, but only an imitation. The old master cutlers build it differently and then the blade does not have the shape of the real Sardinian knife. It must have the shape of the leaf of the myrtle plant, endemic to my island, without the large thickness in the upper part, the handle protection is made of brass and is cold hammered onto the horn. The handle is made of mouflon or ox horn and is often straightened when hot and worked by hand with a file. The blade is forged and hot tempered. The shape of your handle is also different than the original an original knife entirely handmade costs no less than 1000 euros. on you tube there are some videos made by master knive makers from Pattada, the homeland of “resolza”. Anyway you made a nice knife.
@@Gabrulo_knifemaking , I live here in Greenville , SC 29662 USA ,,,I would greatly appreciate if you are willing sell that one to me. Thank you.... Just let me know .😇
A 180 grit worn out belt is finer than a new belt of the same grit, so will leave a finer finish, you can use also finer belts like 400 grit but i used the same belt for years. But first you have to do a preliminary edge with a rougher belt, i use 120 grit
