  • Finally finished this knife! It has been a 4 month process. Started it in the fall of 2016, but winter came early and it was very cold as well my belt grinder broke. Also I started this knife a week after the video game Battlefield 1 came out and a month later I found the knife on youtube made by another youtuber! So I changed my plans a bit to make something a little more unique. The handle is walnut end grain, the blade is leaf spring steel ( 5160 ) ,the hilt is mild scrap and the sheath is kydex. Thanks for watching and check the links below!

    Music too loud, I'd rather hear power tools or narration of what you were doing each step and why.. That's how I learn hearing you more experienced blacksmiths with your tips of the trade.. Good work buds..

    Amazing video! Also, I think I recognized an acoustic version of The Song of the Dragonborn at the end, is that what it was?

      Braden Keim thanks! It's a special compound that I should be making a video about soon possibly. Basically some vinegar and Etching solution. Thanks again!

    Beautiful work! Love the bloopers at the end by the way. What chemical did you use to get that patina on the blade?

    • @xRoSkii
      @xRoSkii  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks a bunch! Yea, figured I'd throw some in the video for fun hah. It's a special compound that I should be making a video about soon possibly. Basically some vinegar and etching solution.

      It looked like it worked perfectly. I would like to see a video on it, I think that'll be interesting to see how quick it works.

      Not sure, I am filming for one now. It is pretty calm and boring. until today, another flying creature came from no where. So, hopefully in the next few weeks.

    Great Job!! One question; after tempering the spine, did you quench or allow to air cool? I've always been a little hazy in that area.

    • @xRoSkii
      @xRoSkii  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Air cool, but I made sure to keep the edge in water, ( I had a soaked wash cloth ) to not let that edge get any hotter.

    How would you just make it shiny?

    • @xRoSkii
      @xRoSkii  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sand it with sand paper.

    • @jeffreyharville1918
      @jeffreyharville1918 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      lots and lots of sandpaper! lots and lots of time! lots and lots of effort!!! but well worth it if you want that shine, but, either way this is a VERY NICE knife!!
