    The most amazing thing about Kyle is his patience.

      @piccalillipit9211 Před 3 lety +7

      Patience is largely what separates the professional from the amateur. I used to work with an old cabinet maker - he would spend 3 hours making a gig to make 1 perfect cut.

      GB, I am a sub of yours as well as Kyle's. I have been a sub since you made a knife out of bacon and quenched it in beer! I love the new stuff you're doing with the bearings, but that lawn mower tapanga/parang is gonna be hard to beat.

    I agree with all of the comments but the thing that sticks out the most is this Master of blades just showed that if he or any of us lost everything but the love of making blades, that you could literally build a knife with 300$ or less and make something worth 2-3 times the 200-300$ investment. That and he shares almost all his knowledge for free, that is what makes a true Master, passing down the knowledge to and for future Bladesmiths. Thanks Kyle.

      I did not even have electricity in the shed. The drill was turned by hand under the light of an old paraffin storm lantern. But actually - they were some of the best things I have ever made.
