I would like to get into knife making but I had a few questions, first off what is the tool at 4:13 called and what is the liquid at 8:47 called and what is it used for
this is bevel jig , help to ajust angle of the blade during grinding. you can see process of it creation in this video - th-cam.com/video/vy3XA-2w9-0/w-d-xo.html the liquid is ferric chloride
I'm pretty sure ferris chloride is some type of acid, which people often use to bring out the pattern from the metal, especially with damascus steel. But then again, I didn't do chemistry classes or make knives all that much. Haven't even finished my first knife and it's taken like a year lol. Mostly due to though lazyness.
Man, cutting the handle and scabbard are the same time is next level genius. I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone do that before! What a Time saver! After adding the dark stain you should back sand it with 1,000 and then 000 steel wool. Then finalize with tongue oil. It will give the wood more color flash. Killer work man!
I got three things to say about this video, very nice tanto, your videoediting is one of the best i have seen and every buildt/restoration video is magnificent. In a nutshell im speachless!
Really like this knife, great job! But I wonder about that sheath/scabbard maintaining its retention over time. Seems like the epoxied layers would pry apart pretty easily with nothing mechanically holding them together.
Guys, I make knives, and though good epoxy is pretty strong, there is a reason most knives *also* have pins, bolts, screws, etc to provide an additional mechanical means of holding handles and scales together. Its because if you don't, the scales have a tendency to shear right off under stress or hard use. Also, you are generally not actively prying on the handle, yet the way this style of sheath/scabbard works is through tension. Every time you insert the knife, you are basically prying that sheath apart. Epoxy will give eventually. That is why most sheaths/scabbards of this style are capped with a sort of metal band to prevent this.
Umbra, sure. I use the good stuff, West System slow cure, and GFlex. And I have had scales separate from the tang on their own. Again, there is a reason 99% of good knife makers use mechanical means *in addition* to epoxy. If epoxy were that great by itself, there would be no need. ....but that isn't the case *most of the time,* unless you are making a decorative blade, or light use kind of thing.
@Koss what did you put inside the sheath on the blade side? It looks like a clay strip, but I would think that would be too abrasive once dried. I am currently replicating this build and I love it!
Hey Koss, Really great knife! but I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering. 1) Did you make that jig 4:26? can you show us how you made it? 2) what were those spacers at 6:21 ... G10? Micarta? Fabric? Leather? 3) What did you set your knife in 8:46? and what does it exactly do, make your blade darker? 4) Where you staining or oiling your sheath? 13:51 Sorry for all the questions, I just admire the work and would like to learn for my own future projects.
1) Sorry I can't help you with that. 2) It is a fiber sheet. 3) It's ferric chloride, an acidic solution that darkens metal. It's often used to bring out the darker areas of a blade, such as the hamon on a katana or the high carbon folds on a Damascus steel blade. 4) I believe that he's staining the wood to bring out the colour.
Kooseandco 1) understandable 2) what kind of fiber? Carbon fiber? Idk what different fibers there are and don't know enough to guess which he used 3) oh I see, thanks you very much 4) makes sense. He probably oiled it after words too Thanks for your help
Very Nice work! I would have made the blade into a mirror, myself, but the blade is beautiful either way! Great work and excellent choice of color for the wood stain.
Very nice knife! how did you finish the blade? Was it etching in feric chlorid? What grit did you sand it before etching? Thanks for your help, keep going!
I sand my knifes to 800 before etch but if you are lazy you can do 400 way down 400 isnt that good because the roigher the surface of the steel , the acid etches more sorry my english sucks
Yeah ultimately it just depends on what look you’re going for. Sometimes I do 600, sometimes 1000, and then sometimes as low as 120. Play around with different finishes and different etching solutions. Coffee or vinegar give wildly different results to ferric chloride and sometimes they look fantastic
Mike Zeke this may sound funny and inappropriate to you but i have to say i'm in love with your work. I would buy if i could but dollars are something we northeast people could rarely afford. Please send me one of your knife as a gift? Hehe
Nicely looking tanto, like it. I would love to have one. But there was no hardening, no tempering after burning the blade edge with the diamond cutter and the belt sander. This knife would never keep its sharpness. Well, if you made it for putting it into a glass cabinet, the problems above don't matter. Again, looks great.
He makes showpieces. All his videos involve knives which are just carved out of metal bars. There is no forging, no hammering, no heat treating involved whatsoever. The end results of his work look cool but none are functional knives.
Kalpajyoti Borah is right. They look awesome but don’t have the right temper or treating to hold a significant edge. When you just cut out metal instead of forging you’re at the mercy of the metals grain structure. Not good for any real working knives. Regardless the craftsmanship here is evident and impressive nonetheless.
Y nitsuJ heat treating is the process of heating the blade and cooling it off rapidly in oil or water, this makes the metal really really hard, but with hardness comes brittleness, do he heats up the blade to temper it relieving some of the stress in the metal, making it more flexible
Man, that is just beautiful. This one, the dark tanto, and the "black one" are exactly the kind of knives I love. If I ever get around to making a knife this step-by-step would be invaluable. BTW, this video is a bit old, I hope you're using dust protection when you grind.
It is not a functional knife. Looks cool and all but there is no forging, heat treat and no quenching involved which means that the knife would generate a crack with a couple of brutal hits.
What I meant is that this knife is just a showpiece. It is not a hardened knife. He just carved out the knife from a raw metal bar. No hammering and no forging was involved. If you want to collect knives then it would be better to collect them as functional too. Because that adds to the authenticity of the knife. What good is a knife that you show to your friends and while trying it out, it breaks into pieces.

i dont like it because the only thing holding the blade and the handle is glue... my favourite video of his is called making a dark modern tanto and its a true masterpiece, idk why he wont makes more knives that way...
I also picked up on the fact that it was not heat treated,, and only slight diagonal grooves on the tang in an attempt to get the epoxy resin something to grip on.
blogusvox i have a couple knives that’s made of simple steel... the MORA carbon knives are really soft, they still cut meat without problem for many many hours, every knife doesn’t need to be done as a spaceship, the simple ones works as well... and a gorgeous knife as this it is probably going to rest on a shelf and look Good forever anyway! 😜
MORA knives, although they look simple, are very good hunting knives. Sweden makes excellent knives and axes, as well. As you stated, this knife will "probably going to rest on a shelf" as a display piece.

the liquid is ferric chloride
Koss thanks so much and is the ferris chloride what gives it the the nice matte finish
I'm pretty sure ferris chloride is some type of acid, which people often use to bring out the pattern from the metal, especially with damascus steel.
But then again, I didn't do chemistry classes or make knives all that much. Haven't even finished my first knife and it's taken like a year lol. Mostly due to though lazyness.
TechnoMasterBoy ok thanks
They seem to use ferric chloride for etching. Man-at-arms videos explain this. They are blacksmiths so they forge most of their blades though.
Man, cutting the handle and scabbard are the same time is next level genius. I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone do that before! What a Time saver!

tung oil works fine too🍻
Words can not express how much I loved this knife build. Great job!
Классный нож получился) Вот люди рукастые)))
I got three things to say about this video, very nice tanto, your videoediting is one of the best i have seen and every buildt/restoration video is magnificent. In a nutshell im speachless!
very nice workmanship, just curious as to if you heat treated and tempered the blade as not shown in video?
Probably one of best tutorial in TH-cam. Amazing work. Thanks from Spain
Curious did you heat treat at all during the build? thank you
Kind of important ya
Now this is actually a good DIY, not a trash 5-minute crafts diy. Good job :)
Wow! So simple but still so beautiful!
your detail is second to NONE !
Its beautiful would buy

Just a heads up that’s epoxy, it’s not gonna come off at all

Every time you insert the knife, you are basically prying that sheath apart. Epoxy will give eventually. That is why most sheaths/scabbards of this style are capped with a sort of metal band to prevent this.
Bastian have you tried pulling epoxied pieces apart? Like with good epoxy? It's hard as shit dude
Umbra, sure. I use the good stuff, West System slow cure, and GFlex. And I have had scales separate from the tang on their own.

Hello Koss, how much time to make this beautiful "thing" ?
Thank you for this video !
Hey Koss,
Really great knife! but I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.
1) Did you make that jig 4:26? can you show us how you made it?
2) what were those spacers at 6:21 ... G10? Micarta? Fabric? Leather?
3) What did you set your knife in 8:46? and what does it exactly do, make your blade darker?
4) Where you staining or oiling your sheath? 13:51
Sorry for all the questions, I just admire the work and would like to learn for my own future projects.
That jig looks like it was made with two steel hinges and a couple of bolts - very clever though :)
Solar Mike Do you happen to know the answer to my other questions too? Thanks! (:
1) Sorry I can't help you with that.
2) It is a fiber sheet.
3) It's ferric chloride, an acidic solution that darkens metal. It's often used to bring out the darker areas of a blade, such as the hamon on a katana or the high carbon folds on a Damascus steel blade.
4) I believe that he's staining the wood to bring out the colour.

1) understandable
2) what kind of fiber? Carbon fiber? Idk what different fibers there are and don't know enough to guess which he used
3) oh I see, thanks you very much
4) makes sense. He probably oiled it after words too
Thanks for your help
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning job without the the need for a lot of fancy kit!
Thanks for sharing...

Well I mean, grinding belt, bevel jig, Dremel, these things arnt free
Amazing how some people can watch you put in the work to make such a piece and still have trash to talk.
Great work and a beautiful blade.
Don't usually comment, but great workmanship, amazing talent, pls send more :)
Замечательная работа. Все доступно, а главное инструмент, ничего сверхестественного . Брутальный нож но не повседневный.
I love the look of it. All the lines compliment each other. I’m curious how it feels in the hand? Doesn’t look like it will roll.
Nice blade, very well executed.
Awesome job a mosaic pin through the tang would look great and help for strength
Awesome job!
What wood stain / color did you use?
Very Nice work! I would have made the blade into a mirror, myself, but the blade is beautiful either way! Great work and excellent choice of color for the wood stain.
will it retain an edge without the heat treating?
It's already heat treated metal that he cut is my guess.
It's a decorative blade
Very beautifull! With compliments!!!
Very nice knife! how did you finish the blade? Was it etching in feric chlorid? What grit did you sand it before etching? Thanks for your help, keep going!

No heat treat?
no Heat treating?
Amazing build keep up the good content
This build was the most satisfying build i especially loved the criss cross indentations for the handle
What about heat treating and final sharpening ?
He makes showpieces. All his videos involve knives which are just carved out of metal bars. There is no forging, no hammering, no heat treating involved whatsoever. The end results of his work look cool but none are functional knives.
Kalpajyoti Borah you dont need to forge it to make a good knife but forging is more efficiënt with materials and heat treatment is pretty essential
Kalpajyoti Borah is right. They look awesome but don’t have the right temper or treating to hold a significant edge. When you just cut out metal instead of forging you’re at the mercy of the metals grain structure. Not good for any real working knives. Regardless the craftsmanship here is evident and impressive nonetheless.
brian roberts you absolutely could be right.
Very nice. I like how you put together the sheath and handle.
Dont you have to heat it and cool with oil to harden it
Yeah, I also don't see him tempering the steel, so that's not a knife, it's just a toy.
Maybe he started with hardened steel
Martin Erhard he could have but he went crazy with the cut off wheel abs over heated the blade pretty much assuring that he annealed it.
U didn't waste any materials ... I like that.. well done
Молодец, так держать!
Great job! Hatori Hanzo would be proud of you.
WOOOOOOO!! THAT IS SOOOO COOOL!!! I LIKE TO HAVE ONE !!
I'll make you one 😉 it won't be as good lol
work of art
at what point did this blade get hardened?
He just dip it to oil at 8:45 hahaha
he dipped it into acid, not hardening. the acid was to cause a reaction in the metal making the blade darker.
Pre heated steel
Absolutely a brilliant job!!!!
no quenching? no pins in handle... it can be used as a letter blade
I love Tanto Knifes. Excelent Works!!!!!
Not heat treated? :( Why!?
Y nitsuJ heat treating is the process of heating the blade and cooling it off rapidly in oil or water, this makes the metal really really hard, but with hardness comes brittleness, do he heats up the blade to temper it relieving some of the stress in the metal, making it more flexible
@Y nitsuJ make it harder and more resistant what a question....true blades are heat treated

Thanks for sharing your template. I made my own, its no where near as nice as yours but I'm happy with it. Thanks again!
Dostum, bu bir sanat eseri oldu. Tebrikler.
What chemical at 8:50 makes the blade darker?
it was water solution of ferric chloride
Does it stay "darker" for longer time or? Nice work btw :)
класс! идея кстати из дремела фрезер сделать хорошая. надо попробовать.
Really nice video but would be nice to see you harden it
Pause 😂
love the color scheme! great knife.
Hear treat? Habaki? Pin handle and not glued one?
Honestly was thinking the same thing
The blade isn’t even forged it’s just grinded
Beautifully made tanto perfectly.
This music is giving me a migraine cool build though
It's easier to turn the volume down than complain
@@gbp3616I think most people would rather hear the sounds of the blade being made rather than some shitty music.
@@The_SSSlopper go turn on your grinder then
Amazing work with the tanto piece
beautiful
Beautiful! You have a gift.
Incredible knife. Is the template for it available to download?
It prevents the blade from wiggling sideways. Makes for a better fitting =)
Oh, sorry. Hmm, I guessed leather as well, but it seems kinda thin. I agree on the idea of patterns :)
That's not a leather, it's a fiber sheet. Just a spacer between different wooden blocks.
Ahmet Fatih YILMAZ it's just for looks. Plane wood is a bit boring without any detail.
I added the 1:1 template in the video description. Feel free to use)
Beautiful craftsmanship wonderfully done
You should definitely make a store and sell these
Beautiful piece of work!
Could have been cool to add a magnetic price on the sheath that attracts the handguard
The hand guard is brass its not magnetic.
Worth to watch this video. Very nicely done tanto. Great job :-)
looks like baby katana..nice piece of work...
Me encanto. Que liquido usaste para pavonar el metal??
No lo pavono. Metio la hoja en acido . Acido ferrico. En las casas de electronica venden.
Tremendo. Quedo excelente.
Stunning 😍

Whats that liquid u put the metal in?
Ferric Chloride Solution
Just water. Keeps the blade cool during grinding and sharpening.
