- Forging a knife from a bunch of pieces of used band saw pieces. These are the blades I use in my wood bandsaw for cutting handle material.
The edge of the knife is 52100 high carbon steel, with nickel in-between the cladding and edge steel.

Love the Canadian tuxedo lol
Nice looking kitchen knife
The desert ironwood handle is my favorite aspect.
Very good job my friend
Nice work 👍👍👍
Turned out beautiful
Love the nickel coastline.
I have always loved your knife skills
Real nice Thanks
One thing that makes interesting videos is taking absolute crap like those belt grinder shavings and turning them into a master piece.
Great job, sir
Great looking pattern, I could definitely put a blade like that to work at my BBQ SMOKER!
Came out pretty cool Brother!
Nice looking blade!!
Beautiful!
An exciting pattern in this blade.
great looking knife!
Surely you've got to make a blade or two with all those grindings!
Make a blade from the shavings cool idea
Always like watching your vids
Beautiful
Turned out great.
Amazing job!
Nice knife!
Excellent work. 👍👍
Thanks!!
Very nice!!
Great video as always.
I am commenting just to try and help out! I have nothing of note to say other than nice job! Thanks for sharing
Most bandsaw blades are 15N20. Made several billets from metal bandsaw blades and they worked great. Harden and hold an edge well!!!!
This knife is very cool. It would be a great add6to my kitchen.
What I like about your channel is, you make it like I'm hanging out with a friend. Just BSing out back in the shop building.
excellent work
Good looking knife, A+ 💥💥💥💥💥
I very much like watching you work your steel and knives. I once was a fairly serious knife maker, working with Devin Thomas quite a bit over the years. I finally burned clear out and closed my shop for almost a decade. Now I'm fully retired from my "career job" and am getting ready to jump back into knives. Watching channels like yours is really a big help, thanks so much for putting out great content!
Nice, thanks for watching!
Dayum! That's a knife I'd be proud to use in my kitchen! That really turned out to be a unique and beautiful blade.
Cool piece man, as I eyeball the stack of bandsaw blades in the corner…..😉
Thank you
Sweet , thx
Old lawn mower blades usually seem to be made of good steel. I go through a couple sets a year so it’s nice to have a second use for them.
A couple a year!? What are you mowing? Bedrock??
@@thomaslindroos1667 huge lawn, old farm site, probably 4+ acres of grass. Takes 3 hours to mow with a 54” deck at about 7-8 mph. They go dull fast so I sharpen about every other mowing to keep it cutting nice so I can go as fast as I do. They only last so long.
Mower blades are typically 1045. JD blades are 1080.
Nice, I will try to make a video or two on my knife making skills in The future
Nice build. A popular blade shape lately.
That nickel move really paid off. Great video, really loved the shape of the blade.
another beautiful knife Elijha i love it Mark 😀👍👍✌
Thank you sir
You could make a neat knife with the shavings from the bucket.
Beauty! First one of your vids I’ve seen. Built my boy a forge a few years ago, he got into it a little, I want to start forging soon. He’s now in culinary classes, I’d like to get him one of these from you.
That is a beautiful knife. I prefer those more random and dynamic patterns over the more controlled ones (stars, explosions, dobble us, twists..). 👍👍
Nice knife
Wow! The pattern in the blade turned out amazing! As others said the contrast between the cladding and the nickel is gorgeous! Thanks again Elijah!
Which steel is the most darkest when etching, and does coffee makes it even darker?
Nice! I agree with your decision to use known steel for the core. I do suspect that eventually your grinder leavings are going to find their way into a canister with some 1084 powder . . . .
Very nice
You can tell that the forge was heating the material much hotter than before by the color. Looks like the forge is definitely working.
That cladding turned out very cool. Reminds me of wrought iron in some ways. I also like how the nickel and cladding were spotted through the edge steel but not quite on the edge. I'm working on a hjartum style axe with 1045 body with 5160 edge.
Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏
That turned out beautiful
Beautifully done sir!
Holy smokes! What an absolute art my friend, excellent work.
Beautiful, and the commentary is, as always, very informative!
I really like the nickel foil. It really pops.
ooh what a lovely blade , it goes beautifully with the ironwood grain too
That came out fantastic !
Cool pattern, neat how you got little islands of the cladding.
Nice balance between the blade and handle.
Great video, thank you for sharing! I would love to see you do what I've heard referred to as "dinosaur/trashcan" Damascus
I really enjoy your channel and watching your process. Upvoted, shared, commented (obviously), subscribed, bell rung and liked .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel. 👍🏼👍🏿👍🏽👍🏾👍🏻
Nice blade width.
When you welded the bandsaw blades you blocked the ark of the welding with your hand a lot of people don't do that they don't realize that that light from the welding can still affect a person's eyes watching video God bless and have a blessed day
That's a very good looking bunka for sure, depending on the supplier you can sometimes end up with some 15N20 in band saw blades or more rarely L6.
What are all the flakes that come off when hammering? Is that metal, do you lose a lot of metal during the whole process?
Wow, that came out really beautiful !
The pattern kinda looks like the Japanese islands. Really nice looking knife. 🤜🤛
Looks awesome!!
🔥
Are the bucket shavings reusable?
5:00 I only knew of the dragon's breath drug from Columbia, not the carbon.
7:18 You would be more comfortable if that power hammer sat a foot higher. You really bend over a lot to use it.
That nickel really gave a cool-looking pattern to a cool-looking knife.
Excellent presentation. You're truly a gifted individual.
Absolutely gorgeous. Fine work.
Vraiment magnifique.
I did this once to make damasteel. Turned out great these blades are great steel to use. And as always awesome work!
Mad skills. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊
Can you make a blade out of those shavings? It be a nice project/ video to make in the near future
such great work!! 😊
Beautiful work as always
Thanks!
I would like to see you make a knife out of the steel grindings that might be pretty cool and a way to reuse some of that metal
Im so happy you made this video. I have a bunch of sawmill bandsaw blades from work. Ive been tempted to use them. However i use them until they break. So im sure the steel has all kinds of cracks in it.
I tend to go high heat for welding it just adds a safety factor and you can see in the vid that your getting much higher temps with new forge , new blade too , my wife wants a matching set of kitchen knives and I think one like that one will make it into the set
We have a knife maker at our job and he claims that the bandsaw blades are m1. Our blades are for cutting aluminum. But I think it's the same stuff
Offer still stands to teach you to Tig weld when you're ready.
Thanks man
I figured you accumulated grindings, but thats way more than I imagined. Thanks for showing that, interesting stuff.
Also the sound of the hammer hitting the steel sounded way softer than I remember, guess its that higher heat.
Could you make a blade out of bandsaw blades and fish hooks?
Beautiful knife 👍🏼 When do you stamp your knives during heat treating? And does it cause any warping? Thanks
❤🔥
9:59- I've always wondered if that stuff could be used for Iron powder or smelted into an ingot of some kind.
Like others have said, bandsaw blades are usually 15N20 and heat treat well. You can always test harden a chunk. Generally, if a piece is as thin as a bandsaw blade and has a good spring to it, it should heat treat fine. Nice work man!
all the lenox saw blades i have checked on our OES were around 1030 carbon steel..
I was wondering if you could make anything from the bucket of shavings after a grind or is the material not viable enough for making something. Stay safe.
Great video as usual and love the way the nickel turned out too, one for a future project and a question
Fire Creek Forge:
Wouldn't it be that little bit easier if I used a mortice chisel for hidden tangs?
As always...great video. Could you show your new forge in detail? I'm about to build one myself and am curious about yours.
Fill your catch bucket with mineral oil or similar, something that isn't especially combustible. Then, when you've collected enough, make canister steel from your grindings.
You should do a canister damascus from the water bucket debris...... disregard, you already did that video lol.
I am wondering which bandsaw blades you use. I use the Lennox bimetal blades. The teeth are M42 high speed steel. No clue as to how it would forge or weld together. I use mine for cutting up bowl blanks. I am into wood in this life line. In another life line, I would have been a blacksmith...
Hi dear friend
Is that white powder that you add to hot metal is Borax?
Why you add it? What work it do?
