Here is a video which shows how I build a knife. The entire process has been condensed into 30 minutes.

UPDATE Friday 24th April
I am working on a small number of knives, Classics and Hornet's and hope to have some knives available next week. My wife is home now after recovering from a major heart surgery. She is well and progressing in the right direction but it does mean I am having to do a lot of the household chores and caring for my wife, so not as much time as I would like to spend in the workshop building the knives. FROM NOW ON: Knife sales on Fridays at 18:00 UTC (when knives are finished and ready) Please read below thanks Any knives I have for sale will be listed on the "Available" page on Fridays only, so this should save you from having to keep checking. At the moment I am having to manually manage every knife sale and email, and during sales the emails are sent to a fro in real time. This is time consuming for me and bothersome for the prospective buyer, so I hope soon to have a shopping cart option NOTIFICATIONS Please check knives available page for any knives available for sale . Starting on Heat treatment of stainless steel next week Please have some form of ID ready for when knives become available Passport/drivers licence. You must be 18 years of age or older. Please check knives available page or click the button above. I do not take orders. I prefer to build my knives and work without the pressure that an order book places on me. Not taking Orders means for me: Less pressure for me, Less emails, I get to build the knives I want to build with the materials I have in stock. Ultimately this means I may be able to produce more knives, earn a little more money and satisfy a few more customers, and possible even have a few days off here and there! In other words it gives me a better quality of life. A happy knife maker is a good knife maker! Please bear in mind that upto now I have been building these knives in small batches. I have never been a large producer, and my average output has only ever been 2 to 3 knives per week. I like to get up close and personal with each knife build carefully grinding each knife blade and shaping each handle by hand and eye. Please also understand that I have a few minor disabilities (due to a legacy of a brain tumour that I suffered a few years ago) and this is another reason for my low output. So How can I buy a knife? I hope to have knives for sale here regularly. The knives are listed at random times so everyone will get a fair chance. I believe I cannot be fairer than that given my current circumstances. Demand is high with customers from around the world and I am just a one man band doing the best I can! Many thanks for reading this. |
