Do you have any other methods and techniques for fitting guards?
Awesome content sir. I am self taught and learn something from every knife I make. Tons of mistakes and research to apply to the next knife. The little things I pick up are the most valuable. Thank you for your time and shared knowledge. I can be happy but never 100 % satisfied. Perhaps I'll reach Nirvana during my knife making journey.
I’ve never made a “perfect” knife and probably never will. Bits a moving target. 😉. Thanks for watching.
I love videos like this one. A lot of smiths who do build videos don't cover things like this and leave the rest of us mucking about in the dark until we figure it out or find videos like yours.
I’m glad it was helpful! Let me know if there’s other topics you think I should cover! 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks will do!
Started following you after you won the gyuto challenge and I am not disappointed! This was a very informative video!
That’s great, Matthew! Let me know if there’s other topics you want to see! 👍
Great tips right here!
Thanks for checking it out! 👍
Great info.
Thanks! Let me know if there’s other topics you’d like to see!
Thank you very very much for the step by step guide!
I’m glad it was useful. Thanks for watching!
great tip video denis thank you very much
Thanks, I’m glad you got something out of it. 👍
Great info as always! I will definitely reference this video should I ever do a knife with a guard on it. Cheers!
Thanks, I’m happy it’s useful!
Great video. Haha. Wink
I’m glad it was helpful, Nick! You better send me some pics of that knife for Viewer Knives! 👍
That was super helpful, thanks! Do you then solder in place, or epoxy?
I never solder the guard, epoxy is just fine. Thanks for watching.
absolutely great Triple T. Guard fiting is one of those things which makes knifemaker not so into hidden tang blades (in my opinion looks much better). It's cool that you point some things definitely because you expierience that, like not square tang (I've been there - nightmare). for beginer Knifemakers this episode might be super helpfull. Great job Man! As always
Thanks David, let me know if there are other topics you think I should cover. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks hmm..Maybe most common beginner knife maker mistakes and how to fix it? my first thought
@@DBCraftWorld which mistakes though?
@@TyrellKnifeworks hmm, not symetrical bevel, wrong blade preparation before HT, uncomfortable handle/wrong shape (for exaple chopper without guard which block handle from slicing to ricasso), wrong balanced.. wrong step order, beeing too hury- just first thoughts
I love these! Thanks for the suggestions!
Question: Have you done any integral guards for any of your blades?
I’ve done integral bolsters but I’ve never done an integral guard.
How about a Damascus integral guard knife... easier with a mill but still difficult to do. 😉
The Gyuto chef knife build was an integral Damascus bolster. Doing that with a mill presents it’s own challenges. You have to hold the knife and mill the tang but that means flipping the knife over and having to indicate the edges again. 😬
Small correction, you were within 2 thousandths of an inch on thickness (.002), not 20 thousandths (.020), which is pretty darn close (which was your point). .020 would be a big gap relatively speaking. :-) Love your work, keep up the videos!
Yeah, I noticed that when I replayed it after. I should have put corrective text up. Thanks for watching!
