About Savage Custom Knives:
We're primarily a knife-making channel, however, we do restorations and gaming-related knives.

I've been making knives since late 2018 out of our garage. My background was cooking but mostly office working. Knifemaking has been a great journey for us from no experience and no tools to having a functioning knife shop, a growing YouTube channel, and now offering two classes on making knives from scratch.

My motto is: "We will give anything a go and if we don't know how to make something, we will learn as fast as we can."

I love your approach to youtube. most creators just want to hear themselves talk. Great job

[TommyMedal]

I appreciate the brevity. It's how maker videos should be. 👍

sweet bananas.i appreciate watching experts go over the basics.
edit: i'm a double-sided tape man, though. i've had bad experiences with super glue.
you don't want to know the details. let's keep it classy

I've made 12 knives so far along with hand tools but I can confirm this is by far the easiest way to attach knife scales just don't forget to have the scales facing the other scales before gluing 😅

I do faceting with a file at 120 degrees on the pins, it helps with gluing, the glue is retained inside the package. Hope this helps.

When I glue my scales together I put painters tape on the insides and glue the tape together so I don't have to pry the pieces apart
