Fantastic visual with absolutely great teaching methods! Walter, you are a National Treasure!!!

[jawdatfares]

Thanks again that was awesome to see keep up the good work and we love you

Love your videos! One thing I have used to keep adhesive off of places I don't want, is a crayon. I just rub a crayon on the blade where the front of scales meets the blade. The epoxy won't stick to wax, and it makes cleanup a lot easier.

Thanks Walter for sharing your knowledge :-) .

walter, you a great knife maker, thanks for the how

Didn't we all start out like this!!??

Thanks for the motivational and informational video. 1)What was the oven temperature? 2)How long did you keep it at the temperature? 3)The brass rod was 1/4-inch diameter. Was the hole diameter through the steel and wood slightly smaller for a tight fit? If so, how much smaller? 4)If you peened the pins, WITHOUT USING EPOXY, would you need a much denser (tighter grain) wood so the wood wouldn't tear off? Or, possibly pins and washers?

Apoxsee comes off real easy on the steel with a razor blade. If you do it right there are no marks

6:23 "...at least you know it can be done in case you're about to move to the wilds of Alaska..."
Meanwhile, I'm watching this from Alaska. Clearly not from the wilds, due to using the internet, but still. Made me chuckle.

What should be the best steel grade and blade thickness for kitchen and chef knife users? Plse reply..

[WolfOfValhalla]

Could you do a video on how to grind or file in bevels ? I'm thinking about making my first knife by this method an I wanna have a general knowledge on how to grind or file in the bevels if you do it'll be greatly appreciated

[davidescobar]

Hi I was wondering what temperature and how long do you heat treat the knife in the oven for. Also does blade thickness matter when doing this.

[jcdetails]

Is there a certain type of apoxy you need to use or can you use any one you want

[scottbluewaspknives]

Hey Walter! I didnt see anything of how you sharpened the blade. Curious how you did it with out the belt sander?

[leafinitup]

Nice work, what type of sandpaper are you using, And where do I get some?

[jayytee]

I would have liked to see you finish the bolster area a bit better.
But still good Vid all the same.
