All About Pocket Knives

Just thought I'd attach a short and sweet video of some cutlering. Gives you an idea of some technique and how hard to whack those pins!
All visual, no narration...............

Thank you Eric.
Mike

I watched both videos. I know someone has to do it but I can't imagine standing in the same spot all day long doing the same thing over and over and over and... God bless those who do it.

I never whack pins that hard. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Eric thank you for posting that video. I enjoyed watching it and seeing skilled hands doing a job I could only fumble my way through at best.

I can crack a handle by looking at it. Can't imagine thrashing one like that. Those must be Delrin or maybe even kryptonite.

Or maybe they've done so many they can tell the difference between 'enough' and 'whoops'. Kinda like tightening a nut to the point just before it starts to strip the threads.

my thoughts also...

in less than three minutes...dang.

Got another one for ya. Gonna have to work on a different knife one of these days if I can ever get caught up on these pinches!

That's great ! It looks so easy and simple when you do it.

Now tell me where I can get one of those Canal Street t-shirts.

Awesome videos Eric!
Do you ever show your face?

Hey Dale! One of these days maybe, I'll need a wide angle lens (or work with my chin on the table)

Phil, not sure myself, got that one off Mike at Droppointhunter a couple years ago, believe it or not there aren't any at the factory
