Knife making - FALLKNIVEN S1 MODIFICATION / restoration - stabilized wood handle

Please write in the comments section what you think about this project and what you would do differently!
This time we had an unusual order, so we decided to record it ;)
We were asked to modify a fallkniven S1 knife. We had to get rid of the coating, make a satin finish on the blade and make a whole new hidden tang handle.
I hope you'll enjoy watching the process ;)

Wow! That is stunning! What a beautiful finish!

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Should we make more modification videos? What knife would you like to see modified by us?

[@mikephantasmic]

How about a vintage KA-BAR?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@mikephantasmic That's a strong bet ;D

[@rustyharvey6855]

Hell yeah! That was AWESOME. How about a Becker BK2 or any Mora blade blanks

[@cazadorazteca4952]

Morakniv saludos de México.

[@diyland9179]

Mora gerberg or classic or robust?

[@lancemillward1912]

Lines his vice with the old rubber handle. Epic

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Haha, I'm glad someone noticed :D

[@canslono1084]

Excellent work

[@butterballjitsu19]

That is a beauty of a knife.great looking handle and a blade that isn’t taking away from it. Well done.

WOW 😮 wow 😮 😮 really nice 👍 good job 👏🏻

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks a lot 🤗

[@drafonso1]

Good job man !

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks ;)

[@Louiscare]

Looks really good but maybe a bit slippery for a bushcraft knife ?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It also depends on the ergonomic, not just the polish :)

[@elikess3961]

Nice

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks

[@Truth.Keeper]

Awesome video.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you

[@jameswilkes3186]

Need to solder the guard, friction and epoxy will allow dirt and dust into the joint.

[@hercules1ize]

Nice. Good job. Congratulation

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you ;)

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks ;)

[@sebastianfaix]

realy good job if you gona continue like this soon you will have 100,000 subs i alsow have s1 the pro series and its awersome survival knife

[@muzyk_custom_knives4024]

Czemu używasz szlifierki do podcięć?
Trzeba się ręcznie pomęczyć
Rękojeść będzie za długa i będzie źle leżała w ręce.
Ale poza tym szacun fajny nożyk 😉

[@BarbershopCustoms]

To tak jak zapytać czemu używam imadła do ściskania 😁 rękojeść jest niewiele dłuższa od oryginalnej ;) Dzięki

[@tobiasschneider8075]

Wow this looks awesome! How much would this cost? I am from Austria btw, so the shipping isn't that long

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks a lot ;)
This modification costs 250 USD (with sheath, firesteel and shipping within Europe). Plus a cost of a Fallkniven, if you don't already have one for modification.
If you're interested, please contact me via Facebook or email (info in the description)

[@TheGtzz]

250usd for these wholes between guard and blade? Wow, that's smth unbelievable. I can do rather better knife from scratch for 250usd. It's my imho buddy, don't care

[@ErikGuin]

@@TheGtzz So...... make a video of the one YOU do, I'll watch it and tell you who's is better...
I'll wait right here until you finish.😎

[@TheGtzz]

@@ErikGuin I did some knives, it's just a hobby. And I'm not supposing to argue with you. Nevertheless you can email me on [e-mail] for my knives' photos

[@ErikGuin]

@@TheGtzz cool, will do...

[@lovejcdc]

Great video and amazing knife. I love the handle results and the brass is the perfect compliment to it. I do have one question, what is the second item that you made towards the end?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks, it's probably a fire rod that you ask about

[@anonymus5995]

the imperfections in the burl wood would drive me nuts, I would had to fill them in or replace the handle at some point

[@BarbershopCustoms]

They are filled though

[@chazlyle41]

Whelp… putting micarta on mine now, thanks.

[@bibakrkt9177]

Great job.professional,where are you from?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you ;)
Poland ;)

[@willbrink]

Maybe offer some pre made custom slabs for the the X series?

[@truongngo3418]

👌 👌 👌

[@BarbershopCustoms]

;)

[@cjw10987]

Great restoration. I would like to see you do an end cap on the handle, maybe out of brass or nickle.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks, maybe next time! ;)

[@felipeirineudesouza5493]

Só achei exagerado a quantidade de material perdido na fabricação do cabo. Eu faria no mínimo 2 cabos com aquela quantidade de madeira.
Isso faz eu duvidar da inteligência do fabricante.

[@carlosaguilarcarcia7268]

Everything was going well but the last thing I did not like much modeling of how it was, it looks very good but it was not necessary so much return I expected to see the making of the cover and there was no good

[@gillbates999]

@10:45...do you like This Old Tony's machining channel? ;) The handle turned out beautifully! The lanyard hole looks a bit too much forward though.

[@tinman3381]

Very nice handle work. Blade work less so. You need to maintain sharp grind lines. You softened the angles of the blade when they should remain sharp. Still a worthy effort.

[@dimandobrov4115]

щели между больстером и лезвием

[@rickeybullington68]

Barbershop custom that is a great looking knife you have their. What kind of steel is the blade made of .

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you, I believe it's VG10

[@rusasan7704]

Оригинал был испорчен.

[@simonsrnka9453]

awesome work I had one F1 Pro with the Rubber Handle maybe you can make one for me :-)

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Sure, please send us a message via fb

[@SWElacket]

How did u get handle so shiny? Nice job

[@BarbershopCustoms]

By polishing it :D Thanks ;)

[@SWElacket]

How do u polish it?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@SWElacket Using polishing paste and cloth

[@TheRealCake]

What's the knife used to cut the handle off?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It's the Leuku we've made on this video:
czcams.com/video/khTZbc6IvYM/video.html

[@TheRealCake]

@@BarbershopCustoms ahh, its looks great!

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@TheRealCake thanks ;)

[@yt967]

Зачем?

[@ICU2B4UDO]

Beautiful job...Just a question though...Is it me or does it look like the wood has some Nick's in it and was it used before as scales? The butt looked like it was drilled out for 2 screws...Other than that, nice! What kind of steel btw??

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you ;)
No, it wasn't used before, it was a brand new freshly stabilized piece. Wooden burls tend to have natural nicks in them, that's just how they are. ;)

[@ICU2B4UDO]

@@BarbershopCustoms ...Ok, cool! Btw, what kind of steel was the blade? I Loved the satin job you did on it...

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@ICU2B4UDO I'm not sure about the steel, I think Fallkniven makes their knives out of VG-10

[@ICU2B4UDO]

@@BarbershopCustoms ...Lol...I just checked...It is VG-10...

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@ICU2B4UDO Well, it's a good steel ;)

[@ylknifes2336]

Hey nice work what do you use for the wood finish

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks, a polishing paste, the same as for cars 😁

[@ylknifes2336]

Ok nice :) thanks

[@Viktor_Johansson]

Perfect job! I would have made the guard out of stainless steel or wrough iron instead of brass.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Well, I don't think stainless would look good, but an etched wrought iron should look awesome :)

[@ihatebeargrylls]

what kind of coating are you dipping the wood in?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It's just linen oil, nothing fancy ;)

[@user-bk6nb2yg5l]

Дизлайк за то что испортил рукоять.

[@edanpino5035]

Personally, I would have made a lot of changes lol but this is probably just me:
Make the brass bolster into a guard
Make the lanyard tube closer to the end of the handle, either by shortening said handle or pushing the lanyard tube back
Making the handle from scales, meaning I would cut out a recess for the tang to sit in
That's about it lol
Edit: oh! And added jimping lol

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks for the tips, I think we would make some changes today too :)

[@edanpino5035]

Well thank you, I don't know how practical those changes would be but they make sense to me lol

[@isacjonsson1987]

Fallkniven is a swedish word

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Probably is since the brand is from Sweden

[@vsemtryndec8595]

Ничего так получился. Пойдет. Но и косяки присутствуют... При такой толщине клинка можно было и аккуратнее примыкание больстер - клин. Про отверстия сзади я молчу... А для себя или на подарок другу - отличный вариант...

[@TheGtzz]

Согласен, щели между больстером и клинком - ужасно

[@user-ky9df3nm7j]

Нда уж красиво ты испортил оригенал ножа

[@samcustom5857]

Franchement pénible cette musique ...😩

[@richardcranium6554]

Nice job. 4 minutes of fondling it was a bit much, though.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thanks for the feedback ;)

[@lubitel9929]

Охуенно хорошо

[@Mr.Big-Gunz]

Had to stop watching,, I couldn't stand that annoying music

[@dahlmasen3084]

Bryant Gill I kinda agree on the music, but you can always mute it though...

[@gabrielbs8675]

Estragou uma Fallkniven!

[@sirsir9665]

Nah fuck that. Use your own knives.

[@roydesimilana2776]

Nice
