this video will show you the process of making a knife . I'll show you how I make the template and cut out the steel , how I shape it make the handle and grind the knife .

That is a really beautiful and top quality knife you have made there. Watching you make it has taken me back to the days of my youth when my father and I made various specialised work tools and jigs together. He passed away nearly 35 years ago now, but I still use those tools on a frequent basis with my son. You too have made something practical and useful that can be passed on and cherished.
Many thanks.

Wow - a beautiful knife! I really enjoyed watching the entire process. Thank you for allowing us to get a glimpse into knife making. You have an amazing talent!

As David Lo Pan once said to Jack Colton, "Nice Knife." I also appreciate how the forge noises are captioned automatically as 'Thank You.' Oh, also, can you comment on your choice of grinding the bevels after hardening - I've seen it done both ways.

That's a very nice knife! Excellent work. Who doesn't love those cold weather day projects in the shop. You should sell them, if you don't already.

Wow, really nicely done. I can fully appreciate the time it takes for all these steps. The satisfaction in making something a useful end product is a great feeling.

Fantastic looking knife, heirloom tool right there.

Nice! I dabble in knife making myself. Never been interested in selling my knives - I give them away to friends and family. I do recommend saving the sharpening for last. Belt sanders have a habit of grabbing things when it’s least expected. Probably why I still have fingers where they’re supposed to be. Best of luck.

Great looking knife. I really like the design, and absolutely love the handle scales. Nice job good sir.

Ruan, you really are a "Jack of all trades"! A builder, and a smart one at that. (I like how you cut parts ahead of time to assemble a wall. I've never built a building before, but plan to soon. An extension onto my wood shop and will incorporate your methods). These knives are beautiful works of art!
