Making a knife handle from stacked leather

Supper...

Is there a reason to use epoxy on the handle rather than wood glue?

When YOU learn how this knife is made.....THEN TEACH!!!!

You have amazing patience and I applaud you. I threw mine together, skipping most of those steps...Mine turned out really great, yours is a product that you know is superior because you put more love into it.... Nice work my friend :)

Beautiful work! 👍👍👍

White subs on white = gay

Very nice work. Love the endcap... TY

there is a mystake :(

What is vulcanized fiber material?

Drilling the holes in the leather created a lot of leather DUST
I hope you had a good mask on: leather dust is HIGHLY CARCINOGENIC, a one-time exposure can be all you need.
A warning to viewers to always wear a dust mask could be handy

Excellent work, such a beautiful knife and sheath!

Your repair job on the handle at the blade looks awful!

the pommel is true art thank you for that

Beautiful!

Nice knife 👍. Suggestion :
You should squeeze the handle from the tip of the knife to the butt of the handle... So it will be no gap

Very very nice! And the cleanest work bench I have ever seen.

Im not sure why this video got 41 dislikes, you did some amazing work... great job. The hell with those haters.

You should never use wood glue on leather, it drys hard and snaps once leather is bent... contact cement is much better and easier to use.

👍

What can this shape of the blade be useful for? I tried it on the hunt for boar skin but it did not help at all. For cutting vegetables or meat completely unsuitable. It is only for wood, what can be the use that will excel? Amazing job, very nice knife.

Very Good! ......... Here are a couple of comments

At about 3min 20sec toy show tin plate and say it is a traditional material
We know that for a long time, going back to prehistoric times, there was a lot of communication and trading around northern Europe and the North Sea, between Britain, Scandinavian and Baltic countries, and further across Europe to the Mediterranean
So perhaps the tin used for tools, jewellery and ornaments in those areas came from Cornwall, in Britain?

I've never made a stacked leather knife, but I do make narrow tang knives with a brass bolster, then various pieces of wood, spacers, and so on
Sometimes the fit of the bolster is kinked or distorted after the glue has set - very annoying and frustrating!
So now I glue just the bolster onto the knife with 5 - minute epoxy glue, and hold it in place till it has set
Then, if that's right, I make up the rest of the handle with 24 hour epoxy; the fixed bolster makes a good support for the rest of the handle, and there aren't usually any more problems.

It turned out beautifully! I would love to own a knife as well crafted as this with that much work and care put into it. Right now I'm looking to restore a vintage Boy Scout knife and the leather handle is coming apart. This video was super helpful and informative. Is there no need to dry the leather at any point?

Перемудрил с рукоятью

I wonder if the bank will lend me some money? I would buy one of your knives because they are a work of art.

Nope… It looks more like a shank than a knife! You can’t piecemeal and hope for symmetry. If you’re building for utility, great job but if you’re building for craftsmanship… 4.5 out of 10.

I'm not sure what I would have done when the handle glue up went badly. Nice save.

Forresten et godt råd ...brug nitril handsker når du limer...epoxy trænger lige igennem dem du bruger der.

Hmm... hængeren på skeden kunne måske godt laves lidt mere elegant. Punsel arbejdet på det midterste af skeden ser fedt ud ..hvad hedder punslen? ..altså y-fletten

A very nice video and well done on the handle and the sheath!

Fantastic and done like a professional. Thanks for sharing!

Nice blade, pity about the bodge on the antler front piece.

Though the finished knife is great if you wish to show the finishes show for longer than you did.

Крутой нож.

Very good video thanks for sharing your Berry patient and with detail I would for shire pay for that quality of craftsmanship

Hi, what stamp number have the stamp from the middle of the sheath?

Id be so pissed to see that front peice crack.
Hey mext video dont film the clean up. Kinda lame to watch you wipe and vacuum

I enjoyed watching your video. Nice work.

beautiful handle shape. i consider this is ideal handle shape for knife

omg that is so bad
go for an other hobby , because you are not good at working

Fanta+ Stick =

hello, nice video et very good looking final result. do you mind explaining what kind of tools you used to work on the sheath? thanks

awesome knife, great video as well.

That sheath and handle beautiful

This is extremely, extremely well crafted. You should be proud of your work and I hope you continue to improve your craft as you practice and time goes on. Much better than anything I have put together so far.

Video's like this are not very useful when there is no accompanying dialog.   What dyes did you use on the leather handle.   What type of wax?

Absolutely beautiful work my friend, nicely crafted with superb finishing. You're very talented and the result was perfect. What a great looking knife

Hvor har u kjøpt lære frå

Behandler du læderet med andet end læderfedt? Jeg tror jeg missede hvad det fik inden slibning. Lækkert skaft!

the craftsmanship is top notch
