Very cool work. Also the historic info you give as well. I always thought arkansas toothpick refers to double edged blades historically because in modern times its used that way, but reacently i learned from channel that deals with antique bowies that in period it wasnt so. Its nice that you seem to have lot of knowledge in history of blades you create, but also you are skilled craftsman.
That's a fine looking knife . So cool to see you make everything without needing $50k worth of shop tools and not angle grinding shapes from bar stock. You've obviously put in some time to get results like that .
Ahhh, great vid! Really like the pacing, easy to see exactly what you were getting up to while still keeping it short and sweet! Cool meeting you at Fire and Ice the other weekend, excited to check out your other vids!
Very cool toothpick! 😎. I'm in progress of making my first bowie knife, it's almost done just grind handle pins and make a sheath. It is coffin handle alot like James Black's knives.
Cool. Classic blade and handle type. Grinding pins flush though? Shouldn't you be peening/dome and polishing the pins? Idk it's your knife I just like the classic dome and polished pins going round the edge look and think it makes the whole "coffin" appearance more distinctive and really pop.
Nice work bro. Badass old blades those. Only done one arkansas years ago, think now i might try another soon. :) Interesting bevel jig. Double edged aren't easy to grind right , getting everything symmetrical and leaving the right amount of material etc. Do you taper the blades ? Cheers mate.
I really like this video. I'd class that as more of a short sword than a dagger though. Does anyone know of any official distinction between a dagger and a short sword or more correctly, an Arming sword?
Really like the look of that one, crosses that very large fighting knife/short sword boundary. So the 80crv2 is good for a backyard heat treat right !?!
Looks like AEB-L is readily available so theoretically yes. I would not be able to obtain optimal heat treat with it using my backyard process however.
Beautiful job. Makes me proud to be a fellow Michigan knife maker.
I will say, you really have improved your craftsmanship over the years. The grind lines look particularly nice in this one!
Thanks Chuck, that means a lot. I appreciate ya sticking around the channel so long!

Great job!
Wow, Phil, you really knocked that one out of the park. Your skills have improved remarkably. Outstanding!

Nice work.
A really nice D-guard knife. Good work.
New sub.

Wow, it's been a while mate! Glad to find a new video on my feed.

That's nice knife
fun to see how you build, very nice blade.
Very cool blade. Good to see something new from ya
Thanks dude, I'll have more videos coming!
Awesome job!!! Looks great!
Pretty cool build!
I have learned to see the perfection in the imperfections
Excellent work as always!
Thanks Dan!

Thanks dude, glad you liked it! Thanks for checking out the channel, and it was cool to meet you as well.
That's an awsome blade
That's fantastickal!
How do you achieve such great and straight bevels? How is the angle iron set up?
You can also forge a pirate cutlass or a saber. Take those into consideration…
Yup cutlass is next on the list 🤙
Realy Nice man how do you get that finish on The blade? Id like to try it out
Just Casey Superblue
Phil, where do you get your 80crv2 from ??
Saludos y bendiciones amigo muy bonito trabajo
👍✌️

Thanks Asko, and good luck on your bowie! The James Black bowies are cool

@@iamshredder3587 I was going to do with the domed pins, but I asked my buddy to whom I made the knife he wanted smooth handle so I did go that route.
Nice work bro. Badass old blades those. Only done one arkansas years ago, think now i might try another soon. :)

As far as I know, an official distinction has never been made lol
What would one of those cost to have you make? Fantastic blade and video!
I think this knife was 450
Please do.best survival and combat weapin
Ah do want a mini-knife for gentlman😅😅😅
Really like the look of that one, crosses that very large fighting knife/short sword boundary. So the 80crv2 is good for a backyard heat treat right !?!
Yup, 80crv2 has been optimal for DIY heat treatment
@@PhilBaumhardt I have used 1084 for blades, but never tried the 80crv2, suppose would be interesting to make a comparison.
Could you make one of these in LC200N or AEB-L?
Looks like AEB-L is readily available so theoretically yes. I would not be able to obtain optimal heat treat with it using my backyard process however.
how's the steel compared to leaf spring?
80crv2 is very comparable, allegedly it is supposed to be better. I believe it has more chromium, which makes it better at corrosion resistance
Have you ever burned in antler handle?
Yeah I usually do my antler handles the same waya
What was your jig setup for the main bevel grinding? I think I saw a piece of angle clamped to the work rest?
Yup thats the jig
Yup thats the jig
@@PhilBaumhardt can you share more about how you set that up to get the grinds you wanted?
@@berwickacres I wish I could, but I really just did it by eye without getting fancy about measuring angles etc
I would like something like that how much
I think this one ended up around $450
Is that a thing having a D guard on a double edged blade?
Yup. Custom order
