Knife Making - Native American knife and Quillwork sheath 

I love birch bark, people who have never used it for anything have no idea how versatile it is. I used to collect it just to use on picture frames because the tourists love it when they see photos of the outdoors or animals framed with birch bark, but it's uses, knife sheaths, shingles, can be ground into flour, a great firestarter and eaten in a survival situation.

Love the outside work shop Fantastic work

Luv the birch bark liner and quillwork. It really turned out nice. Thanks for showing your work

Nice job! I used to make things like this when my ex and I were traders on the Rendezvous Circuit in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah. It was fun and while not necessarily profitable, it brought a lot of knowledge! It also helped me with a book I wrote and hope to publish soon! It's MUCH easier if you have DONE the work, to write about it! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful work

Great work!

Love your old school technique.

Wow! Exciting work!

Приятнейшее обращение к традиционным мотивам!! Превосходно!!!

use the rough side of the leather to apply the quills. They will sink into the leather and hold better. The smooth side (hair side) makes them sit higher up and more prone to wear off. And I would not use grease on the leather. It deteriorates it, and the quills as well.

Cool!

Zaki’s Workshop, Nice Job.

Excellent job.

Looks very cool.

Very nice...

Great video enjoyed it but I have to bring this to your attention, when you were using the wet stone to sharpen the knife you did one side from heal to tip of the knife then from tip to heal, doing this can put a wide edge on the knife and or not take the edge back off it making it dull

Sweet anvil!

Realy cool man great job and historical accurate defenetly gonna try making one myself if my spelling is bad Thats becouse i life in The netherlands:)👍

WOW

What did you use to make the inside of the sheath?

That belt sander that’s on your bench grinder is it some kind of attachment you bought or did it come with the grinder?

nice

alright guy i am so please to see you hand forge your blade it is so much better then stock removal you do not waste all that material as with stock removal but one thing when hammering your rivits try using a washer so you do not damage your scales

Sorry for spell check it's meant to say wire edge on the knife

You should do one of theses but in a plains Indian style instead of a woodland style great vid 👍

Nice video but just curious when did native Americans start making steel or even know how to make steel the back during those days

BEEEEE U TIF UL.

Great job on the video. New here and you have my subscription. Would love to have your support as well. Keep up the great work your knives look awesome. ATB Joe

Everything looks rushed.. why you would remove the forge scale and not keep it brute de forge I don’t know.

🔥⚒🔪👍✌

👍👍👍🔪🔪🔪

Work of art. Great job 🤙

How to make a contact with You about Your knives - ?

Very inspiring. Thans for sharing. Got s great idea for my next Shamaknife🏆

Wow that blade is sharp , seems like it takes me longer to make a sheath than the knife . Great job on your sheath and knife I’ve been making for a couple of years myself and just finished a ‘frontier knife and sheath with copper rivets and leather fringe ( my daughter always wore Manatoga leather boots with a lot of fringe And I saved about 8 pairs with each with a lot of fringe. I have been using 1/4 inch copper tubing, clamping in a flaring tool And driving a swedging tool into it to get the bell shape and pulling small feathers into them. What steel did you forge that from , it’s scary sharp ?

6:40 I have a burn mark in the same spot in my sweater 🤣. Were you using an angle grinder?

What a great knife and sheath! Cheers

Supper good job👍👍❤️🤝

You should sell these

I know it's a random question but are you wearing a trade shirt?

Hey everybody :D! if you are interested in buying some of my work check out my new website www.zakiworkshop.com/

Аааа...!!! Мой иностранный друг снова меня порадовал! Классный ролик и нож обалденный!

Scalping knife blades were usually more curved. Your knife looks more like an English trade knife. Grizz 🐻

beautiful job buddy, I like it👍

Dandy work. Native Americans never had steel though prior to European trade. They never even had an Iron Age for the most part. Might have even skipped bronze.

every time in every knifemaking video... we wat to see the finished knife. we watched half an hour or more and dont get the result .

Outstanding work on the knife and the sheath. Love the video.

Wow I never knew that American natives had iron knowledge??

amazing works! keep it up

Complimenti. Bravissimo. Ottimo lavoro. Saluti dall'Italia

Beautiful blade bro!!!

Hello Sir.What is a steel did You use for Your knives ?

when drilling holes, try PB Blaster, or actual cutting oil. WD 40 is Awesome, but it sucks as a cutting oil.

Nice work bro you must grow fast subscribed may God bless you 👍

Gran trabajo amigo 👏👏👏👏🔥🔥 saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Thank you for a cool video and an nice knife! I enjoyed it.

Nice work , just goes to show you don't need fancy equipment

Been a little while since I’ve seen one of your vids. Keep up the great work

Beautiful Work! Love both the knife and the sheath!

Felicitaciones!!!!!!

Awesome work. Thank you for uploading

Question? I see Asians sword makers heating/folding, heating/folding, making many layers of metal! Then flatten one side for edge! Why not fold metal over on it self here many times?

Beautiful job❤️✨
