Finishing The Kukri Knife Build! | Shop Talk Tuesday Episode 136 

It’s great to see the comment section growing here Erick ! I see more makers commenting as well. Your earning much deserved respect among your peers. Great place to be. Glad to see it ! Happy birthday sir !

Awesome build! Beautiful knife! Happy Birthday!

That’s a gorgeous build, man. I really like your eye for putting things together. Thanks for taking time to teach the rest of us.

Hectic? I'm remember a nice trip to see knives.....Thanks I'll be back to watch later

Great Kukri.

👏👏👏👏👏 great build, great knife, turned out awesome.

That turn out great! The copper makes the handle color and blade Pop! Well done

Love it! Handle profile is really nice.

The knife came out beautiful !!! Personally, I think it's one of your best looking knives, to date. Thanks for sharing my brother! Keep 'em coming! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🗡️

Happy Birthday Belated all the best for you 🍀 what a beauty curvey handle looks real good with the cooper and the blue scales 👋 well done the hole build 😎 perfect

One of my favorites

super knife , I love it ! see you from belgium ....

Nice, love the knife profile.

Fine craftsmanship sir, beautiful kukri

This turned out so sick. I love copper for pretty much anything and that's such a rad way to utilize it!

That’s awesome looking , great job

Belated Happy Birthday, Erick! Man, you whipped up another beaut with this one. Loving the colors, and the handle profile is slick! The shape kind of reminds me of a blunderbuss stock or something like that.

Hmmmm, the skateboard behind you has the same colors as the scales. Or close to it! Knife is looking awesome! I strive to match you!

That is so nice that may be your best one yet and you have made some nice ones

Good work...congratulacion...Very good knife..

Excellent build my friend! Keep up the great work, and I will keep trying to make mine look as good as yours.

Happy birthday Erick!

Hope you had a happy birthday. Thanks for the video.

That turned out rad dude. The scales and what you did with the liners turned out great.

Great knife! Typically, I am not a fan of those bright scales but it came out perfect on this knife!

Looks good.

Beautiful piece Erick!

Love the handle. That's almost the same as what I learned in the class I took last month. Looks great.

Bellissimo complimenti

It came out amazing. It’s like a mini Kopis/Kukri. I agree with your design choice on the front of the handle it creates a flow from the handle in to the body lines of the blade as it draws your eye. That blue looks almost like oxidized copper under certain conditions and is great with the scales and acid etch. It almost gives it a sense of age. It’s a beautiful piece.

Looks fantastic The Brownells cold gun blue is my go-to for matching an acid patina blade where there's going to be contact with the handle-spine. Their Tru-Oil for gunstock finishes is great as well

That turned out great, one of my favorites you’ve done! Happy belated birthday!

Love the copper and father back and the alsome perfect handle. But the blade near handle is not thin enough to allow the middle to be a great chopper but I am not a expert but thinking more as krurerie usually build for jungle functions. I'm still very impressed with the build but design is to be tested for functionality. Really love the shape and fit of that handle. Thanks

Looks awesome. I just did my first handle like that after finally getting to put my hands on a few at blade show. Great job though brother.

Beautiful build Erick! I am loving the contrasts, and contours!

I personally would have sprung for copper pins but still looks really cool

Great looking build! Once that copper patinas it’ll look even better! Love that handle shape with the kukri blade. Awesome 👏

Beautiful build Eric. Love the blade design, and the handle.

Great looking knife I agree copper pins would have been good. So glad you are not cheapening such a beautiful knife with Kydex

new subscriber! nice knife.

What a outstanding build. Fantastic video. I just started making my own fixed blade and used African Blackwood for the scales. Any pointers on how to finish/polish the hardwood handles?

I likes it !! I was going to ask why you haven’t joined the knife vise group. I made mine. I wasn’t going to pay a million doll hairs for one.

Looks great! I've been wanting to try a tapered tang, but haven't tried it yet. One question: What's your method for drilling pin holes straight through on a tapered tang? Prop up the the back end with a shim or wedge maybe, when drilling scales? Otherwise, how do you get holes going straight through without going off at angles when drilling angled material with a 90 degree drill press?

Nice knife 👍 are you going to put something on the copper to stop it oxidizing?I made a knife with copper scales and the copper gets dull quickly.

👏👏👏🤜🤛

👍👍🙂🙂
