Knifemaking- A Day In My Life

Hey everyone! This video very simply shows what a work day looks like for me. In this I am finishing handles and blades on a batch of san mai hunters and every day carries. This is for those of you who wonder what it looks like to make knives for a living (at least for me). I hope you enjoy!

Learn Knifemaking From Me!

When I started making knives I had a few amazing knife makers near me that I could ask questions and they would either answer by word or by showing me something. That information would push me forward in this craft every time i went back and applied it. I wouldn’t be where I am in knife making without those guys in my life. That’s why I am passionate about teaching and this platform allows me to do just that! If you want to learn more about how I make knives you can join my Patreon where I make more in-depth video tutorials and am available to answer the questions that you might have. When you join you get a new video every month AND gain access to all the previously made tutorials on there on everything from hand forging blades to making damascus and san mai to handle making (hidden tang, full tang, and integral) to sheath making (with a sewing machine and without) and much more. These videos are for every level of experience so try it out! You never stop learning. I know I don’t.
