So what do yall think about this OAK!?! --- (FYI if you're looking for some of the tools I used in this build, I try to put the most popular requests in the video description )
That knife is both rugged and elegant! Really like your style and craft.
That stone tumbler is genius 👍🇬🇧
Really the type of knife I would spend money on. Brilliant
Knife so beautiful I wish I was that friend
Great looking knife.
Checkering file cameo!
James, Great knife build. Oak all ways makes good handles. it's hard wood. Only wood i know that's harder than oak is a bodock tree. yeah i know you nit-picked it. lol lol I think your friend will be very happy with his new knife. stay safe.
Another high quality build Red. Despite the flaws I’m sure your friend will be blessed to have it. Look forward to the next video.
Thank you. Excellent build. Like the blade style.
How awesome, such a great work. The knife is good 👏👏
Outstanding tutorial and build.
Even with flaws that is sweet looking knife
Awesome job, James! I love that!
It’s beautiful, inspiring to start up knife making 💯🇺🇸
Man, your knives are art!
I like everything about it, including the “not best practices” parts. It’s pretty enough to sit on display but I’d also not be afraid to use it and super proud to carry it. Where do you get those push sticks? You’ve really gotten good at using them, I’m sure there’s a learning curve.
beautiful!
Cool build my friend.
Perfection.
