How is it possible that we both Uploaded a video at the same time with the same Theme? 😂 Nice video Mr. Sorrells!
I havent been on this channel in about 6 years, nice to see the intro, music, and denim shirts havent changed
Dope AF results, Walter Sorrells! Now it needs an equally dope sheath to complete the package!
what you did here is impressive, there is no doubt, you dont have to justify anything.
Excellent work as always man! Your experience really shines being able to crank out something that nice in 2 hours.
That was fun to watch Walter.
I've been a collector sense I was 10 and dabbling for a long time mostly handles and scales ... but love your videos
Nice love the videos!
Really like those layered scales, Im definitely gonna try that.
I like the 2-tone micarta, and the general shape. Good job, Walter! I'm gonna see what I can knock out of a lawnmower blade, or a flat spring!
Thank you so very much for sharing Walter. 😊
You Win❤🏆🥇🎉
This is great - and it shows what you can do in a very reasonable amount of time with experience and access to a bunch of nice tools - thank you

Drill your handle material at the same time and profile it at the same time.
I like it awesome work as always Walter
You Win❤🏆🥇🎉
Good challenge. Nice knife too. Well done.

Thats amazing! Good job walter! I am just a hobbyist and beginner blade maker, and i have not been able to dedicate myself to a start-to-finish build like this.... but mine have taken a few weekends each to complete.
You Win❤🏆🥇🎉
such a good example of time well spent. and yeah, basic design, but clean, professional and not slapdash
Have a look at gough custom knives channel he uses a cnc machine to do his knives.
id buy that Walter,its definitely not a work of art but its usable and for 2 hours ,its a great looking blade perfect for using and not crying if you lose it in the woods on a Deer hunt
Why do you heat treat the metal? I’m guessing for durability?
If I didn’t overthink everything I might be able to do this.
Thank you

I would buy it just because you challenged yourself godbless and be well.
Did you stop the clock every time you had to move the camera around? EDIT: Nevermind. You answered my question.
I liked how you drilled the scales together using super glue. 😊

Hey Walter. I'm part of your founders group and have been enjoying the class. I am finding that I'm in the 6 hour neighborhood for finishing a knife but I'm taking my time and not really going for time. I'm just finishing up my second knife. Did you go from a 36 grit belt to a bead blast finish? That looks good.

Shoot. I'd buy that and be PROUD to have it, Me. Sorrells

the main limiting factor for me in my garage is the power capabilities. I cant run my 2x72 and heat treating oven at the same time. Otherwise would be a pretty easy challenge i think.

I am not sure where to ask this question, to get a good answer. please do not hesitate to reply if you have ideas. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I have a garage, but its full of car stuff, and not insulated. very little room for me to set up and work with my grinder, and I'm worried about getting steel dust on my room-mates car. I do not want to take the entire winter season off.... I'm in the middle of making two knives right now. i need some ideas on how to figure this out so i can work on my knives in the winter months. I cant do it outside, its gonna get -30*C for a few months. I have thought about building a small "lean-to" off the side of the garage, but technically supposed to get a permit from the city for that and I cannot afford that... and it would be just barely enough shelter to work out there. I am living very close to the wire right now(financially) and the knifemaking is keeping me happy which is why I need to keep it up through winter. any and all insight or ideas are welcome here. I just dont want winter to be all work and no grindy-knifey. I have thought about setting up a little poly-plastic booth around my grinder, like they do when doing renos in a fully finished house. that might be the cheapest thing I can think of, but it might still take up more space than I have available.
I’d buy that for a dollar!

Did you flashback to your FIF experience? 😉
My personnal record is 1h17 min
how many knives can you do in 24hours?
