All About Pocket Knives

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I made my 1st knife with my dad when I was 9, and then worked with some great cutlers who showed me all sorts of tips and tricks, and when I was 16 I started working full time making knives, for one of the last knife making firms in Sheffield who own Joseph...

Thank you Steven. The old workshop must have had a great influence on a young boy. Did your dad rent it for you or for his work as well? It really did, it's hard to explain how this place had the biggest influence on me, every thing from the smells the lay out of the building the history, I think h...

What a beautiful knife. The teardrop cap is nice. I like the ease in the frame at the nail nick. Everything is superb. How did you learn to make knives? How long have you been making them? Are other cutlers in you family? Nice pictures! Thanks for showing your work. Thank you :) I learnt how to mak...

Beautiful knife. What precautions do you take working with mother of pearl? I have soo many allergy problems I've never tried working with any pearl. It sure is pretty though. Mark. I know what you mean, I have a strong extracter and always where a mask, And always work with my workshop door open t...

Hi everyone, Here is another knife I have just finished, it's like most of my knives taken from a Victorian pattern book. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/images/forum_archives/ae347-st2-image_zps1e6e8ce8.jpg https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/images/forum_archives/ae347-st2-image_zps452a0b58....

Steve, That is very similar to the way it was done in the "old days". Your finish is very pleasing to my eye compared to what I see some "Custom" makers using for a finish on their knives, most have an unfinished look to them with the sanding scratches still on the blade, some p...

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, :D You do excellent work :wink: How do you finish the blades on your knives? Thank you, :D After I have ground the blade, I use a hard wheel with leather fitted all round and dress the wheel with a fine grit, I then go onto a felt wheel dressed with a finer gr...

I really like James barber knives, that looks a nice one.

Hello that was an amazing video. Frankly I always knew what they did but not exactly how. it was interesting for me since I was given some time ago, a large box of steel shield patterns ( I guess that would be the name ) it was the pattern part that is placed on the knife for the parser to go into....

Video of parser being used. I do not have the ability to post a link, but if you go to the latest roundtable thread the last post by Smiling Knife has a link to a video of Trevor Ablett making a knife. To the right there is a list of other related videos. down this list is a video of a parser being...
