Making A Knife From Pruning Shears
ฝัง

- I bet every man that ever held some pruning shears imagined them as a knife. I know I did! That's why, when we broke the handle on ours I decided to make a knife out of them.
The blade was of decent quality and basically it was designed to cut wood, so it should make a great shop knife. The chisel grind will prove useful while tracing a line after a straight edge and also should allow for more precise chip carving because of the zero angle on one side.
Since the "tang" is so short I doubled the handle with aluminum and also used the large hole as an oversized pin to take the pressure while chip carving. It's also great for hanging the knife tip up on the pegboard so it's easy to grab while working.
The wood scales are made from an olive wood cutting board that was thrown away since it's full of cracks. Since this is a shop project I saved the nice figured wood for better things and used the dull part on the side. The only fancy detail is that I tried to take advantage of the natural curvature of the wood to match the handle.

This is not a tutorial, it's just for entertainment! A lot of tools and techniques shown here are very dangerous! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The fact that you didn't say one word and just showed the work being done with the sounds made this video a damn work of art. Thank you! amazing knife as well.
Thank you, it's easier for me to make this kind of video so I'm happy you liked it!
A real masterpiece my friend Made with inspiration and real craftsmanship. But what are you going to do with it?
@@Irene-iu9sj I was thinking same thing as the metal would not be able to sharpen enough as a wood carving knife!..
They're _pruning_ shears, dear heart! Have you seen what the replacement cost of _one_ blade is? That blade will make one _damn' fine knife_ !
A well spent 15 minutes of mine
Thank you!
worth every second!
Is it possible to be attracted to a knife?
Definitely
without a doubt, yes.
+Jace Johnson i almost cry to see that sexy knife. I want to make one
If you are a magnet, yes
fucking beautiful, exact same thought entered my empty little mind when I saw the OP haha +Lovemeorleaveme
Hey this was awesome! Also, I spotted Parkside and Dexter, some of my favorite brands... You must be from europe... :) Keep it up! I'll make a knife as well one day...
Thank you! Yup, I'm from Europe.
per mancini?
@@TheSmallWorkshop salut Romanasule.frumos.
Are u romanian?
I have several Parkside tools, and I'm in the US. They sell them here too.
I should be doing my homework but instead i'm watching this. Not gonna lie I was pretty entertained.
One of the coolest knife construction videos I have seen. The re-purposing idea was brilliant, the techniques with basic tools were awesome, and the final product exceeded my expectations. Awesome video.
Thank you Matt!
Finally a video of someone making a knife without all the fancy tools like a table saw, belt sander, and ban saw
Why would anyone need a table saw for a knife?
Okay but what's so wrong with using those?
@@sakuraogami6885 It's not wrong, just not a great tool for knife making in general, because most functions u need for knife making can be achieved (even with better efficiency) using more compact, more simple and safer tools. Table saw is dangerous, uses lots of power, makes lots of noise, inconvenient to use, not too precise, making it one of the tools that should only be used when there is no other feasible option
hòa mạnh idk, the belt sander seems pretty convenient
@@sakuraogami6885 I was talking about table saw though
this video alone got you a sub!! that was such a powerful showcase of pure talent and craftsmanship. I am extremely impressed. very good job sir!
Thank you very much!
Нож такой формы удобен как садовый. Сам доводил до такой формы, только рукоятка в изоленте. Спасибо, беру на заметку.👍
Beautiful. That is one chunky, heavy-duty knife.
That is pretty sweet!
Coming from you it means a lot, thank you!
everything's just amazing but what exactly do you use such knife for?
I remember when my arms were covered in bald spots from testing knives 😂
Amigo , eso no es un cuchillo , es una gran obra de arte y una joya , felicidades iii
love the demonstration at the end ... as well as the knife, nice work!
Everything about this is interesting. Project, editing and your making. Great work.
The only thing I would edit out of this video is the breathing in the background. Everything else is 🔥🔥
Sweet! I have some broken shears....hmmm might have to put this one on the Things-To-Do List soon!... Another Great video Man! Have A Super Blessed Week!..... Gus
You should run some classes in prison, teach them to make proper knifes!I joke, you're very skilful.
struan john lol
A eso se llama: "desvestir un santo para vestir otro"
that wood was fucking beutiful
Thanks! Someone was throwing it away :D
The Small Workshop why would people throw wood like that away
People who don't do any wood working would probably look at a piece of wood like that as clutter and want to get rid of it. Same reason why there are people who burn beautiful hardwoods as firewood. Luckily they're usually willing to part with the pieces for almost nothing (sometimes free if you're lucky), because to them it's nothing more than firewood
BBG-Christian not everyone knows the value of goodwood.
Ik right
Very nice job. Beautiful design. Great materials choice. A+
Thanks for making this video !!
That's really pretty. Like it a lot. And I saw this after it was featured by David on Make Something's Makers and Shakers
Beautiful...now I am going to attempt one.....thank you love your work
You are the best knife makers I have ever seen
when drilling the aluminum with the blade attached, you should put some sort of stop at either end of the knife, that way if the drill bit were to catch the material and swing it around, the blade would hit the stop, instead of swinging full circle and cutting your fingers off
seems like the bolt that was holding the aluminum to the blade acted as a stop against the wood though,, nice knife
Yes, in this case the bolts were used as stops while drilling. Sometimes I use the small vice clamped on the drill press table to act as a stop. Thanks for the tip tho, safety is always important!
No, the bolts not doing anything, and even if the knife was attached to the wood block, it’s not held down either - please use a vice or clamp to deck. It clamp a piece of wood as a stop on back side of bit. Like a 2x4. Love the projects - but when you use the drill press I cringe!
That wood was shaped like West Virginia till you caution a knife out of it lol
Who watching this in 2019????
me
No I’m watching it in 2020
I know I'm just sitting here watching YT videos but I still value my time. I enjoy finding "no nonsense" videos like this one! (great editing) I also enjoyed the fact this is outside the box! What a beautiful final product!
That thing is so sick man! Your a hell of a craftsman.
So beautiful.... your videos are like meditation for me
Nice piece of art, where can i buy 😂
Its a Shame that it only has one bevel, because this knife is absolutely brilliant! Very Nice work there mate!
lol glad you agree. top notch work and a beautiful knife
great video.I have a question only because I've never dine this but I'm going to try one in the morning, what is the sand paper stuff I'm guessing at what it was,that you polished the blade with?
It's wet/dry sandpaper.
+The Small Workshop thank you.I have a box full of old shears, have you ever used scissors??.
Very well done. Looks like a skinning knife.
True true
Although a great design of a recycled blade (of an equally great quality steel), besides skinning, in terms of usefulness as utility knife may well be the limitation of it.
super cool thanks for putting your time into this!
Much more fun than buying it at a dollar store.
Dude, you should make a shop with custom home made things like vintage knifes and old tools that you have restored and stuff like all the antiques you have restored. You would get so much business
Amazing
Thanks!
I wish I was better at drawing and sketching I do all of my work freehand. I just envision what I want to make out of what I have and then do it. But it would be nice to have some drawing skills now and then.
So I am guessing you got it sharp? Nice work.
Watch the last 5 seconds for an answer to that question.
+Grant Goodson
I did, I was being sarcastic. You did an excellent job, I think I got cut watching the video.
How can someone watch the whole procedure and still give it a thumb down?
You're very creative I liked and I smacked the bell
serio myślisz że jak powiesz o tym dzwoneczku i like'u to dostaniesz serce za komentarz do filmu wrzuconego 4 lata temu?
@@baszotek5819 I understanded every word
Projects like this was where it all began for me, a few years ago I made my first few knives out of old sheer blades, files and other general tools. I actually really like some of the steel used by garden tool manufacturers, I remember I think it might have been the 4th or 5th knife I made (can't remember) and it was an old extendable garden scissors, you know the long pruning sheers that are used to cut large bushes. And I have no idea what steel it was, but it was brilliant for a knife and ended up being one of the strongest edge retention blades I ever made. I even prefer it to some of the new better knives I make, don't know where I left it though probably rotting in a toolbox somewhere.
Great video.
That would make a nice little skinner.
Probably.
That was extremely enjoyable. What a craftsman
grinding non ferrous metal such as brass on a grinding wheel is VERY dangerous. The wheel can explode and potentially put your eyes out. No joke. The knife is nice, I just don't want anyone to get hurt making one.
+Bill Anderson - WHY CAN EXPLODE WITH NON FERROUS VS FERROUS ??!!! EXPLAIN PLEASE
+MonkeyBlueAss The non ferrous builds up in the grinding wheel and when is heated expands and blows out chunks of the wheel.
At which point did he use brass ?
Whoops, I just found it sorry
I was gonna make a pun but it was so bad I opted not to.
Me: But what could such a knife possibly be used for?
You: *shaves forearm*
Me: But of course
Nice job beautiful knife.
Thanks!
I would just stopped at 1:29 and called it good. Just me.
that ll take a while to grow back
Almost there! LOL!
I love how nothing in his shop is or gets stuck in place, quick and easy just how i like it!
Very clever...and could all be done with hand tools if you didn't have the dremel etc...thx for posting.
Friend, That's a very nice small knife. You should make a companion blade from the other half of the shears.
…..RVM45
Thanks, I was thinking of a karambit from that part, but the steel is kinda soft so if I go to the trouble of making it I should use some decent steel.
perfektná práca....na čo slúži nožík s takou krátkou čepelou a ešte k tomu zahnutou
I like how you ground down the brass pipe on the bench grinder! Will definitely be using that idea considering that I don't have a lathe...yet ;)
Thank you, I was pretty proud of the idea, it was basically the only original thing in the video, kinda like my tip for others. Happy to see someone noticed it and found it useful.
...не понятно, для чего нож делал,чтоб руки брить!!?
Nice job!!
Now I'm of the mind to make something similar,but different at the same time.
A liner lock folder.
Amazing! I think it would be even cooler if it was a friction flipper style blade so you could carry it like a pocket knife!
LOL, yea, while working a solution for that large hole I thought it would make a great pocket knife, but it is well beyond my skill. But a lot of design elements were inspired by it, the aluminum frame, the flat wooden scales and the oversized "pivot".
Very nice. I would have only changed two things. I wouldn't put aluminum next to steel because it promotes electrolysis (corrosion) and I would have ground the blade again so that both sides matched each other.
Even so, it came out beautiful. Great job.
This is true, steel touching aluminium = corrosion.
Awesome knife, brilliant concept. Work of art.
Love the look of the end product.
They will sell well at a flea market.
👍👍👍
i wish more people focused on gaining useful wood/metalworking skills!! so cool!
wow You are truly an artist
Boy o boy, I just got some replacements pruning shear blades, so this could be a great winter project. You make it look easy! And it sure came out beautiful!
Thank you! It sure was an easy project, everything went smooth, no surprises.
Such a brilliant recycling idea is hoped that many idle items and ideas are united to create things of beauty and of useful things for life.
I can watch you do this all day! I like your profiling!
А где резка бумаги, тест заточки??? Я разочарован.....
One of the best knifes maker i've ever seen in my life
What about making a Kerambit style knife out of the other part? Great video! :)
Thanks, I've thought of that, but the steel is not that great so if I go to the trouble of making one I might as well start with a better piece of steel.
very interesting. is that walnut you used for the handle?
Getting all sorts of knife making videos in 2020... Hmmm... what is TH-cam trying time tell us? Lol! They think we are gullible sheep ready for revolution
Aawesome recycling project! looks very ergonomic. good stuff!
Thank you!
i watched like 5-6 your videos and im gonna subscribe,im 16 years old but i think i can do something like that litle knifes,good job man keep going like that
Dam cool. And with stuff I have laying around my shop right now. Maybe not the same handle scales but something kinda like it. Thanks for the great idea.
Excellent! I have a few broken shears, now I know what to do with them.
I think the curved side would also make an nice carving knife/hook.
Yea, I still have it in my junk pile, to be repurposed into something someday :D

whats A Beauty in workmanship quality !! execellent..!! no other words...it shows man 's intution for skillfull perfection and imaginative intellect...really good one..Congrattrs...!!
Nice knife I think I need that for trips and I like ur Videos 👌
Why do U need that?
@@GodofDeath-Noah becsuse I need knifes and that is important for me and my trips...
Ryan why you need it?
@@ryan_theprogamer6477 but what for trips?
@@GodofDeath-Noah I dont wanna talk about that here lets talk private because my trips are private and I wanna go to a Jungle for an YT experiment
Very nice knife. I've made 3-4 knives using pruning shears but yours has a very interesting design.
I've seen a couple of your knives and they are very good! When I got this idea and googled it I was surprised so few people thought of this. I think your video was the only result both in videos and google images!
:) Thanks! I think you've done a great job with your knife.
Verry nice knife!!! Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Yves.
Simple yet brilliant editing, lots of heart.
Wawww quel beau travail, j'apprécie surtout la qualité du travail et les techniques utilisées, vraiment très inspirant. Bravo!!!

i like that shit
Jesus-Fucking-Christ that's sharp, I would love a video tutorial on how to do sharpening for two reasons, first off you seem to be awesome at it, second of all, this one seems akward to sharpen for some reason... Something in the shape of the handle...

Here I am wanting a knife like that to shave my legs. If it can shave your arm hairs like nothing, I'd get the nicest shave on my legs lmao
Awesome video! The knife turned out pretty cool, keep up the good work!
Well , your obviously pretty damn awesome. Beautiful work, 🙏🏻 for the vid and time.
Beautiful craftsmanship, but i would've prefer a little more handle from the blade to where the index finger rests. Seems too close to blade edge. Btw the wood you used is exquisite. 🤔
Was there any work done to the steel itself? No heat treat, nothing? I'm super interested in trying this, but I was wondering if you had done any work like that to it. Thanks!
Truth be told I thunk that knkfe would be pretty decent for cleaning an animal or fish. Though I wouldn't know.
VERY very nicely done and thank you so much for not adding stupid fucking music. Well done kid
А из второй половины ножниц можно керамбит сделать )))
Excelente trabajo....prolijo.!!..Saludos From Chile.
Besides the extremely heavy breathing and the weird talking the video was really good and I think that you should continue making knives and that's one hell of a beautiful handle on there keep it up
It’s a awfully bad hammer, the wood gets indentations from the nails and to add insult to injury they put a blade on the handle. Would not recommend.
I really enjoyed this video from start to finish. Great job on the knife and the video.
Some of your methods are god awful-but Ill be damned if the end result wasn't beautiful, which is all that really matters.
New sub, i love the channel. As someone interested in making knives, but not able to dish out a bunch of money on tools, THANK YOU for showing some ways to make fun, functional blades with fairly common tools.
a good wood carving knife uses a scandigrind, the chiselgrind will never be sharp nor thin enough to be adequate for wood carving.
Junk & Wood = Yeahhh
nice work!!!

Thank you!
That bench saw is very handy. Where did you get it? Nice knife btw
