  1. @Josh Hawley He's making bushcraft knives... You interpreted it as bad english, but its good english...
  2. Those are awesome!
  3. How is it 'bushcraft' if you are doing everything in the shop?
  4. Bruce amazing work turning a part of old old scrap into something of such quality with a personal touch...to me a knifes just a knife but watching you make it and seeing the work put into it made me appreciate it... well done...nice work
  5. What kind of metal is that?
  6. Wow what are the odds finding a video likes this were I am from the same area
  7. Cheers!
  8. Absolutely beautiful!! Where can I get one?
  9. after otherwise the edge is too delicate to temper
  10. you sir do some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen. im new to knife making and I hope I can one day reach this level of craftsmanship
  11. Great knife. Good to see something like this made.
  12. Great looking sheath.
  13. do you make the final sharpening before tempering or after ? 
  14. Beautiful
  15. Thank You very much.... Bruce
  16. Looks good. I hope it serves it's owner well. I like that you put a beefy handle on there. Modern knives are getting smaller handles; which is not much help if you happen to have gloves and want to use a knife at the same time. Sheath is shown briefly at the end but is obviously first rate.
  17. Wonderful Blade man, wish I could craft myself one of those, but alas I lack the skill and tools, let alone my apt manager would be pissed at the noise. :P
  18. that knife is beautiful. well done sir
  19. brilliant, thankyou sir!!
  20. He said that he used Olive Oil. 
  21. I punched number five holes and laced it up with Kangaroo 1/4" chocolate brown lace that I got from the Weaver Leather Company. Thank You for your comment. Bruce
  22. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO DO THE STITCHING THAT YOU USED ON THE SHEATH. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BLACK STITCHING ? ANY POINTERS OR HELP WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I ENJOYED YOU VIDEO VERY NICE WORK !! THANK YOU
  23. I think it's oil
