Instead of using an electric carving knife with cheap stainless blades, would it be possible to attach some nice Dalman steel to a shakeweight? Or better yet, incorporate the motor into that polished custom wood?
 

And if you get this from burnfitting, like some tar residue from smoke, that wipes off easy with alcohol. Sooner easier than later. I see some jknives sometimes with this left on the blades.

Thank you Robin, that was really informative and fun to watch. I’ve been using 30 minute slow set epoxy resin. I use the same procedure, without the torch of course😅. I’m going to give the hot glue a try. You don’t have to hold onto the knife for as long to wait for it to set and you can remove the handle if you ever need to. I enjoy watching a veteran like you doing your craft.

That's a hot tang! I've always been afraid to make it that hot when installing. But I've never done a real burn in, just an install where I get the handle hot enough to melt the wax or glue... Inspiring.

Please tell me you were a corporate executive before that, or a copy editor for an advertising company. Btw, I heard someone call you the grandfather of Swedish knifemakers recently. It must be a young field! :)
 
Well, you’re a veteran to me and your knives are beautiful. I’ve only made maybe 10 or so knives in a little over a year. And I don’t sell any of them, just give them away. The videos are really enjoyable so thank you for that.

I worked in a industry with quality control, checking practical function and tolerances to standards, for parts we built battery cabinets with.
