Как же он без гриндера и Rex 121 выживал

Excellent

This video is grateful as to why the internet exists. Just think, 100 years ago this man could have taken his knowledge with him to the grave. Thank god we live in a day of age where a lifetime of information is accessible at a click. As I'm typing this the video ends... Like wth?!

Thank You

Steel City! Very interesting...Looks such physically hard graft. Saw a man {he must have been over 80 yrs old} in the 1980's scything his lawn in Cambridgeshire.. Fenlands... His lawn was like a bowling green...he was scything off maybe an inch of grass off his lawn...no more. Fascinating to watch!

Beautiful, many thanks. S

Im 78 now and when I stepped into the trade my first full year was spent learning to file. In this age of CNCs it may seem ridiculous but after that year you had a beginning knowledge of what makes tools cut. THANK YOU for the video.

The handles aren't simply "austere." The missing details compared to earlier saws aren't esthetic. They contribute to the control of the saw. Comfort relates to being able to relax, which affects the cut. Kinesthetic sense relates to control, accuracy, and efficiency. The details on the top of the handle, which are simply gone now, actually serve a purpose when using a cross-hand grip with the off-hand (two-handed sawing). I am fortunate to have very old saws for my regular use at the bench. If I received a "quality saw" made today, I'd remake the handle. This isn't to criticize these men. I would wager they are quite capable of making the old detailed handles, but had to work to the market.

It would be interesting to see how the snail is filed. It might help me touch up the snails on my augers, carver's screw, and so forth. This is a precious archive of videos.

I wondered how files were made, just because i'm a curious fellow. I clicked this video, saw how this gentleman was dressed and that was all I need to subscribe!

Great! Many thanks for posting this.

brilliant to hear about saw file making. I have spent many years filing spring steel with saw files . Many thanks and respect for the skill of the file makers

I have one of these from my great-grandfather. I am nearly 70. It was probably made around 1850.

I'm going to make sure to keep a copy of The Abrasive Wheels Regulations 1970 in my workshop 👍🏼

Fun info, thank you! (From one who's only recently discovered she is actually a Dixon, patrilineally-speaking.)

I’m really impressed for such confident cut and strike. Truly decent.

@KenHawleyCollectionTrust Thank You for posting this please I use files everyday especially the saw file I own a couple of diston's 10-point rip and an eight-point cross, so is more interested on file making some really good information here especially carbon and silicon I didn't know about the lead poisoning issue anyway thank you. If you'd like to know why I use files every day well,,, I'm a journeymen carpenter

Getting mixed up a bit ,but great knowledge

A great deal of man hours & effort in these tools now turning up rusty on ebay!

Thank you, Ken and the collection trust, for preserving this old-world knowledge and experience. I couldn't even fathom the collective knowledge of the intricacies of file hardening in that one room @ 4:48. This is one of the arts that built humanity. We're best off to not lose the thousands of years of knowledge our ancestors have passed down to us.

Excellent historic video, thank you for sharing.👍

Excellent watch..Thanks

Excellent, thank you! I am a collector of TEW knives and have around 50 of their modern premier collection knives, which all feature on my CZcams channel.

My hobby is making online quizzes and in my research I came across Joseph Bramah - I'm surprised I'd never come across him before - he deserves to be known alongside Newcomen, Smeaton, Watt, Stephenson, Bessimer, Bazalgette, Arkwright, & Brunel. Thank you so much for this fascinating and well-illustrated talk!

Love the Royal knives.Never seen that shape before.

Thank you for sharing some beautiful pocket knives 👍

My God, this man is a national treasure!

You have a really interesting metallurgical historic story here. Hopefully you will soon have another new story with a new microphone..please 🙏 Subbed here 😊

Very nice.

Your mic bro, it’s a problem.

There is no other CZcams channel where you can learn this kind of fascinating and detailed information. Thank you so much for the work you put in to this. Some day I would like to travel to the UK and tour all the industrial museums. Nobody preserves history better than the British.

I'm so fucking angry for todays tools are shit quality fucking secunda! And price are hi!!! Fucing roppery!! We need good tools,makers,artists!

Thanks for the lovely video. Amazing how it all comes together. Would it be possible for someone purchase the kit somewhere?

Thank you.

I've never seen a Harvest knife before. And I couldn't help wondering if the 1944 military knife had taken a bullet. That was fantastic. I was glued all the way through. Thank you.

Knives are such a personal tool, valued and much used by their past owners. Seeing them here gives a very real sense of connecting with the past. 👍

Wonderful look at some interesting knives, thank you for posting this video.👍🙂

No no no no no don’t end there MORE! Need more!! I’m going to your channel now I really hope the rest of this video is available. He said he will tell more about that later

CZcams come on! You should’ve recommended this years ago!

Wonderful!

Mesmerising…… and such fitting music. A testament to the skill and pursuit of perfection of the Sheffield steel industry. Thank God we had it. 👏🏻

One superb example of the cutlery trades creativity and artistry made by the hands of master craftsman from the past. 👑✨

I take it the majority of blades are made of carbon steel. Yet there is no hint of tarnishing. Is some poor soul charged with cleaning it?

Amazing.

Beautiful is not enough to describe seeing this knife example. 👑

Absolutely marvelous tradesmen who really knew and understood the art and skill of working metal. We are in awe of all of them!

Love me some silver
