Making a knife handle with CNC - Resolute MkIII

For more information on my hunting / camping / survival knives: http://store.goughcustom.com/

Over the last 9 months I've been working to try to move my process over to CNC! It's been an absolutely insane amount of work, and there's still much more to go, but the new process is finally beginning to become reality!

In this video I show how I make the handle scales for the new Resolute MkIII knives. The bulk of the machining is now done on my Vertical Machining Center (CNC) which allows me to make everything much more consistent. Consistency has been a main goal of mine for a while now as improving consistency allows me to focus on nailing down my process and continuing to improve quality.

These knives are primarily designed to be hard-working outdoors knives for hunting, camping, bushcraft and so on, and as such need to be made well to hold up to a lifetime of use!

I'm happy with how things have turned out so far, but of course there's still much more work to do!

The tooling used in this process is supplied by Maritool (http://maritool.com) and is all made in the USA. The vise I'm using is made by Orange Vise (http://orangevise.com) and is again 100% made in the USA. I think it's important to support local industry and I do so whenever possible!

The G10 that I use for the handle scales is supplied by Alpha Knife Supply (http://www.alphaknifesupply.com) and is also 100% made in the USA.

Hope you guys like the video! More coming soon!
