Beautiful knives and incredible craftsmanship mate🙌!!! I love watching them take shape and your love and attention to detail in your craft is evident not only in your workmanship during the process, but also how you talk so excitedly at the stages during the process🙂. I have my eye on the Tuckamore Bocote wood model for my camping and bushcrafting adventures, and wondered if the rivets as well as the G10 inlay are possible to be customized to have different colours. My thought was an olive drab green type of colour, as I love natural forest and woodland type of browns and greens🌲🌳🪵 Happy Father's Day to you as well gent!!! 🥰
Happy father's day. That maple burl handle might be the nicest handle I've ever seen. Beautiful work as always. I look forward to seeing more car content also.
Seems to me, the only thing missing is a barber in that beautiful shop 😂 Kyle, those knives are so gorgeous, I don't know the words. AWESOME 👌 Happy Father's Day my brother ❤🙏🏾
Kyle....I need your recommendations on some stones and where I can buy some. I have several wet stones, but they are old and am in the market to get some new ones. I need your recommendations for stones that can reprofile the edge and then of course polish/sharpen the edge. Right now I am using 1000, 3000 and 6000. Can't remember the name of the stones becauae the writing has worn off over the years but I think they are noris stones. Can you recommend three really good wet stones?
Awesome great work and very nice knives. What is the thickest knife blade you can make on a folding knife and a long knife? Thumbs up to your videos always.
Hey Kyle! So no one I know personally are into freehand sharpening so I have no idea what are considered benchmarks in my success with freehand sharpening, so I was wondering if you can please give me some feedback? So I used 80 grit sandpaper to re-profile a convexed BRKT and after I finished with the 80, I was able to cut paper but it was pretty rough. So then I went to a 320 Shapton Glass stone, and it significantly cleaned up the edge, but it doesn’t slice paper like your knives do. Is slicing through paper with a 320 grit considered good? And if I were to go up to a 1000 grit, how should the edge feel when attempting to slice paper? Thank you for your time!
Hey Christopher, great questions. You should be able to cut some paper when you do a real good job with 320, but it'll be rough and scratchy. Very coarse tearing edge. By 1000, if you've done a good job, your edge should be sailing through paper quite well!
