Hi, subscribe, watch the video of the making of the knife, comment " I want the knife" to throw your name in the mix and I'll sort out a winner in future video when I reach 3000 subs👍
Your work is beautiful. I enjoy wood imperfections because it reminds me of myself. I make spoons and love irregularity. I quite like the first one for that reason
I just had a thought...When setting the bolsters you could use a PVC tube. It would fit over the tang and gives ya even pressure. I think I'm gonna try that myself on my next build 🤔
No idea if this will help you or not but I also do a lot of work with hand tools and use a wood stump at times.. I run eye bolts in the side of the stump and use a ratchet strap to hold down my work.
I just did a small cherry burl. I cut a flat on it glued it to a board and had a bandsaw slab it. Is it a white birch burl. It looked like yellow birch. We have some yellow birch here in the North east US that have huge burl. I saw one that was about 3 feet across and stuck out about 2 feet. Nice build , turned out great.
@@VahidCullsberg We have white birch where I live but I can't remember ever seeing a burl on one. The figuring in yours was really cool. My cherry burl had a kind of birds-eye grain. I was very happy to find that but Like you I wasn't sure how to go about slicing it . Love pukos. My edc is a mora. By far the best knife for the price. I liked and sub. and look forward to seeing more of your work. I'm getting ready to film a birch bark handle on an estwing hachet. I did one last winter but didn't film it. I'm not as young as you and I'm just learning the editing soft-ware. I'd rather carve stone than deal with tech, lol. Cheers
Yes it's always tricky to read the burl and decide how to cut out the best pieces and for what purpose. Hahah we are all getting old. Will check out your channel and look forward to see your project. Cheers,
Hi Arlen, thanks for watching and for your question. I made a new knife because I was not satisfied myself to give my customer a knife I wasn't 100% happy with. If it was just for me, I wouldn't mind. But my standards change when it's going to a customer. And I presented him with the option to chose between the two knives. It's all about customer care, being proud of the product and customer service. If I know I can do better, I will do it.
Thank you, the glue is called Wood Glue Winter 465. It's a glue adapted for low temperature applications down to -10c. It's a Danish brand, you can find it on danalim.dk
Question how come no epoxy in the handle or maybe you did it off video very beautiful knife to by the way love to see the fact you sourced the burl your self and everything true hand made is becoming a lost art
Hi Blades, thank you for your kind comment and the question. I used a glue for wood made by a Danish company called Dana Lim. I used one called winter glue for low temperatures and outdoor usage. The burl is wood, the spacer is bark and the antler..well bone. Also with the peening of the rat tail tang, every part of the handle is compressed together and held in place. If well peened, you wouldn't even need to glue. It works quite well and additionally the glue does not leave a "line" between the materials after drying. Yes I sourced all the materials. Thank you for your wonderful comment.
@@VahidCullsberg awesome! i dont have an area i think safe enough. i have done it in the past but now have a bad right shoulder, it hurts a lot to do that work any more. let me know if your interested in selling/bartering some blades. i am very interested, you do fine work.
I first sand papered it down to a fine paper, i think 2000. I then wiped it with water using a moist cloth. When the water dries it will raise up any small wooden fibres. I then sand papered it again with a fresh fine paper. Then I oiled it. I oiled several layers, I think 4-5 layers, letting each layer soak in and be absorbed before applying the next one. I did not polish it with a polishing machine.
@@VahidCullsberg Прошу прощения, но это была ирония. Вы, несомненно, очень хороший мастер. Просто я увидел иронию в том, что человек с явно не финским именем делает традиционные финские ножи. Удачи Вам! Пусть у Вас в жизни все будет хорошо!
😂 Еще раз большое спасибо, Дмитрий. Мило с твоей стороны. Но я бы не стал называть себя мастером. Мне нужно многому научиться! Я ценю ваш добрый комментарий и желаю вам и вашей семье всего наилучшего. Желаю вам крепкого здоровья и счастья в это непростое время. Это гугл переводчик. Надеюсь, он не придумывает странных предложений, которые меняют смысл моих намерений.
@@VahidCullsberg Not sure if it would help in case like the one in the video, as it seems to be some kind of internal bone defect, but it is definitely great help when cleaning various stains from the surface. Hope you will find it useful someday. Keep up your great work!
Tell that to all the poor orphan child workers in the world who make products for all those big companies 🤣 I don't wear shoes inside my home. It's a Scandinavian thing 😊 Maybe I shouldn't tell you....but.. I'm also naked under my clothes. 🤣 Thanks for watching the video Fabrizio and for your advice. I make knives because I like it. If people want to buy them it's fine. If they don't, that's also fine.
Hi Fabricio, I forgot, do you eat rice? Maybe you also should tell the rice farmers to remember their shoes...or maybe also tell the traditional wine makers...who else...yeah, maybe you should also tell the sex workers to respect the buyer. They must wear shoes 🤣😉 I'm just joking with you Fabrizio. I have a workshop now and wear my shoes there. Don't worry.
No, you can make several handles with the other parts. I keep all pieces, small and big for future projects. Even tiny bits that I saw off the chunk I used for this handle. I can polish them up to use as spacers for another handle or as decorative inlays for other projects. I wish the sawdust was edible 😅
