This was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve made. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m over the moon with how it turned out! I can’t wait to make another.
The kit was great and perfect to try out the new forge and my first step into the world of knife making. I got it from here https://www.artisansupplies.com.au/product/knife-making-kit-1/?c=22783a5940ef
The inspiration for the bevel filing jig and sanding block was from Gough Custom, his channel is very helpful for the new knife maker. Here’s the links
Bevel jig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9iNDRwwBQQ
Sanding Block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtAZRdxUrh4&t=90s
I also got inspiration for the design of the knife by looking at patterns at http://dcknives.blogspot.com
That site is full of good stuff!
As always I’m happy to answer any questions.

What was the total time spent on this build?
good job
Stunning little knife, and I am glad you didn't say could do better next time
I love the dark wood leading edges on the handle…maybe you should make more mistakes! Greetings from the UK.
BEEN WATCHING YOU MAKE THINGS ALL DAY. YOUR THE MOST DOWN TO EARTH PERSON ON HERE. KEEP THEM COMING FRIEND. 👍👍👍
Worth watching twice and liking a dozen times, if only for the bevel jig. Amazing product, be proud of it!!
screws up the handle
looks amazing
Epic vid, Pask! What's the bearing used to control the file? Brilliant idea. I imagine it'll cut down the wear as opposed to using another bolt. Thanks!
btw…build a knife belt grinder. make a great video and it be interesting to see your approach
"could be worse" . I knew you would make a nice knife. you have a really good mind for building.
Que buen trabajo !!
Excelent knife saludos desde Argentina !!
Love your changes to Gough's filing jig. What'd you use for the bearing? That's exactly what mine is missing — I've tried other stops on it, but I like your method. Great idea.
1:30 in and I mean I don't know much about tools and stuff but you are holding the metal with no gloves on a belt sander. The metal is clearly sharp you should definitely be wearing gloves if you slip you would slice your finger.
That 4mm shortfall with the stocks is a very happy accident. Keep making that mistake!
The forge and that knife are perfectly made, just as always, Neil.
Thanks for sharing the vid, I hope you'll keep going with creating things and spreading the word out.
Looks great!
wow you did a GREAT job….any chance you would make me one of these sir??
Pask, I would would watch a video of you making macaroni and cheese. These videos are so well done.
VERY NICE knife!
I've never made one from a kit. Right now, I'm working on a knife for myself made from a lawn mower blade! It's coming along nocely and I tried to sharpen it just to see if I got the heat treat and temper right. THAT THING SHAVE LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS! WOW!
I have added a quarter inch thick brass guard and the scales are Acacia Willow. My eldest daughter who died in a car wreck in 1996 was named Acacia so, I thought the scales made from that wood would be good.
It's a modified Bowie style blade with a 9 inch length plus the handle! I peened the whole blade to give it a more hand made look and it is just what I wanted! The next knife will be a hefty Kukuri made from a 5/16" leaf spring!
Best wishes! Keep up the good work!
Happy accidents work. Love the contrast in the two woods. Great job. Now ditch the kits and make one on your own.
Wow someone that can talk how about some angles for the blade and what is it made of
I was going to say the same thing that little mistake with a handle really made the difference in with that different colored wood that's a very very nice job congratulations
Lovely looking knife . Quality work ********
I for one think you did a damn fantastic job. The two woods complement each other nicely. 👍
*yuri screeches with delight*
10:46 Nice jig. Did you weld that up yourself?
The handle came out looking especially nice.
Thanks for sharing !
Very well done.
Your bevel jig it brilliant!
Knoife
Good job mate that's a beautiful creation take good care of it
Hi Pask Makes what is your diamond stone? thank you
nice scandy bushcraft
Excellent build, your very talented and entertaining to watch! I will be subscribing for sure 👍😀
Buen trabajo .. gracias por el video .. me suscribo. Saludos
for what????? You may not carry in Germany is prohibited falls under the weapons etiquette
I say one helluva nice job on your first knife Pask….you might just be in the wrong business my friend.
Wooden handles>all other handle materials
Good job!! Very cool!!
Did you round off the edges of your file for the bevel jig? Couldn't spot it from the vid sorry
brilliant.
не плохо
Good Job man,nice Knife.
Love the video but why use a file jig instead of the belt sander?
i wish my first knife would have looked like that
Very nice project – the finish really makes the grain pop! But is it sharp enough to shave your arm hair? (Blame Jimmy DiResta for that).
