How to build a slipjoint
Over the last few years, I've had numerous knifemakers tell me they would like to see a video on how I build my pocketknives. I decided that if I made a slipjoint video, I wanted to show the complete process from start to finish with plenty of detailed information and instructions. This is that video.
Basic Rawhide Sheath Construction
Have you ever wanted to make a frontier style rawhide covered sheath but just didn’t know how? Here's all the information you’ll need to get started! Watch as frontier style knife maker and leather worker John Cohea takes you through the whole process.
How to build a scale release automatic
I decided to put this DVD together because of the lack of information that is available in the area of building automatic knives. Building a scale release auto is an advanced level knifemaking project. If you have made a lock-back folder, then you are well on your way to building a scale release auto.
How To Forge a Frontier Style Tomahawk
I had the opportunity spend a day in Bruce Evans’ knife shop, and I watched as he forged out a spike tomahawk from a round bar of 5160 spring steel. I was so impressed with the process that I wanted to go back and document him as he forged out another one. This time I took my mini-dv camera with me, and as a result, I was able to produce this DVD.
Forging Mosaic Damascus
I had the opportunity to spend the day with Chad Nichols and watch as he demonstrated how to forge weld mosaic damascus. This DVD covers the steps involved in making mosaic bolsters. In addition to the geometric mosaic pattern that is created in this DVD, Chad also explains and demonstrates how to prepare a Spider Web mosaic can.
