How To: Build A Farmer's Knife part 2
This is the next step in the Troyer's build. I am having alot of fun with these little guys, and they are coming together well.
@bowentroyer also gave me a piece of walnut that was harvested on their farm, and in this video I also start the process of turning that walnut into knife scales.
Sometimes I start working and forget to film. I also ran into that this time, but there is plenty more to come. I hope you enjoy it!

They are looking great. I am very excited
I am glad! They are great.
This is so awesome, such a cool process! Interesting that you were using a grinder so much. I would have sworn you were going to use a band saw with a metal band blade to cut out the rough shape. lol shows how much I know about knife making. lol :)
Thank you. I use the tools that I have at hand. It is all about the creating process.
You are very welcome! And that is so cool! :) It really doesn't matter what tools you use, as long as you get your desired result. Keep it up man, I can't wait for part 3! :)
Wanting to make knives one day, to much going on here right now. It is a fun way to relax and have something to use on the farm.
It is definately a good time. I usually listen to books on tape. There are many hours just standing haha.
The whole process is fascinating. From a raw block to something so functional.
Right! Thats why I love it so much. From nothing to something.
Have you ever tried to make a knife from a file?
From what do you prefer to make a knife handle?
I have made sevral from files. The oldee ones are high carbon steel all the way through, so very good. I don't use files too much these days. I prefer wood handles. Really, something custom or repurposed.
