  • In this video, and particularly at 1:25, would you recommend to the novice folks (like me) that we cover our blade with tape or something to prevent it from getting scratched and/or nicked?

    Wonderful series of videos, btw. Very helpful.

  • @backyardsounds Yes I would recommend taping it. I know these are long but I mention that afterwards when I realized I had scratched the blade up some. It was light and some some fine sand paper took out the scratches. I'm no expert, just have fun making these for friends/family :D

  • @JasRobe - Are you kidding!? Your knives are as good or better than any other custom knife I've seen! I'd buy one of your knives in a heart beat!

  • @backyardsounds Thanks :D Here's a link to a few photos of some I've made, this one included: h t t p s://picasaweb.google.com/JDRob­erts.email/KNIVES?authuser=0&f­eat=directlink

    just take the spaces out of the h t t p part and the link should work.

  • nice bro how thick is that wood?

  • @MasterMoose00

    1/4" to start. It's a bit thiner now of course with the sanding and finishing.

  • Very nice. Now I want to make one.

  • Wow! Great instruction, Thanks for sharing.

  • Cool informational video

  • Came out nicely. Files are fine, but it's faster to align and clamp the scales and just grind them to shape on the belt grinder (or sander in your case), you can even go up to 800+ grit on the belts, then just glue/pin and hand sand/finish after. A lot less hand work, but either way works. Looks like Sanjay has stopped selling his blade blanks, that's unfortunate, they were pretty decent, and for the money pretty great.

  • Wow, this is really impressive!!!

  • awsom! superb!
