Awesome thank you so much for posting this video!!! I have been thinking about making one!! Thanks again!! Awesome job and talent you have and craftsmanship!!
Hi Clark,just come across this video,superb,it really is,great skills. Sorry,a couple of questions if you can please answer. What size brass dowels,what size drill bit,what size reamimg bit? Where did you get that blade bolder from? What thickness steel for blade? Is stainless ok to use? for blade and spring? What grade and material where your belts,noticed you used two different grades.Thanks Clark.
love this video. I really want to try to make a slip joint. This video really cleared a lot up for me. One question. Do you find the extra temper on the spring at 500 degrees is sufficient? Everything I've read suggest using a torch to heat to bluish color. Your method seems more precise.
Im glad you liked it! Making the spring is by far the hardest part. My oven temperature isn't very precise so I mainly just look for the nice dark blue color. Good luck with yours!
It was a micro size oven, not a microWAVE oven! For cripes sake! Please, PLEASE, don't tell me you don't know better than to put metal in a microwave!!!!
I would watch my hands and fingers friends, you are cutting it might close and those are some powerful machines. The knife looks nice, but is the blade or spring heat treated at all or did I miss that?
unfortunately I don't have an exact place to send you to get them. they are vintage machinist clamps, id say look on Ebay. I probably got mine a garage sales
I made that handle material out of old computer heatsink and resin, but you can buy a similar material called c-tek. And thank you! I'm glad you liked it
The first folding knife I made I used only files and a hand drill! I recommend getting good layout fluid so that your scribe lines don't rub off when you reposition the parts. Also get some good files and a file card to clean the chips out
I had to subscribe after all you went through to make that knife . I want to learn how to make a folding knife . I still have a drill press . got rid of the wood working equipment . that's another story . but if I make a folding knife I'm going to want to make a lock blade . your equipment is basic as in your belt sander but it's made to work for several lifetimes . the kind of stuff I like . not plastic garbage . I still buy factory knifes . i used to go to the knife shows up here in Canada . Knife makers Guild show in Toronto . I don't think they have had a show in years . especially because of Covid . I to the former president of the Guild's home to buy I knife many years ago . I wish I had bought more off him . he passed away several years ago . John did beautiful work . you would have flipped if you'd seen his set up . for grinding he had a mask and if I'm not mistaken it supplied fresh air or oxygen. he had a fortune in equipment . super nice guy . very humble . you take care and thank you for the video .
Excellent craftsmanship. Do you take order for sale and shipment to India ? What could be the price ? Mention the name of country and address ,if possible . Thanks .
@@clarkstrang hey Clark, you inspired me, I have wanted to make a folder knife for a long time. After watching your video, In between Knive orders I was working on a sod buster design and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing your talents. Blessings to you.
not too much harder, just a couple more pieces to cut out. Check out a video on youtube called 'How to easily make a Folding Knife' --- he makes a lockback there and uses more common man tools too EDIT: although I think that might have been a gravity lockback, not a slipjoint. Either way you're going to need a pattern to work from. I'd suggest buying a cheap knife you want to copy the mechanism from and take that one apart. Rough Ryder makes cheap good quality knives and they have a few lockback slipjoints of various sizes and shapes.
@@clarkstrang did you hardened the spring too then tempering after? Was wanting to make a folder for myself but the spring part is the most tricky part for me. Watching your steps makes me wanna go with mine.
Its called a ream. It's used to make a perfectly round hole that is an exact size. Standard drill bits are only accurate to a few thousand of and inch and they don't always make a perfectly round hole
@@stormyeffects4795 I think they more meant that they are surprised they used the 1095 for the spring because a less expensive metal with less carbon content could probably be used since the spring won’t be doing any cutting or taking direct impact really. Then you can save all your nice 1095 steel for parts that need to retain their edge, or will be taking impact. But if you have the cash and aren’t concerned with using up your stock of 1095 you can use it for every component in my opinion. But that is a great looking knife, good job to the OP
One advice god gave us 2 hands with 10 wonderful fingers which are not replaced when cut by a saw so use gloves and safety procedures with machine believe me i have carried cut fingers of my workers to hospital its sad we take risk for small jobs like drilling and cutting and forget our fingers which are price less.
I hate to be that guy....I used to make snowboards. You really should wear gloves when using epoxy. The more you get it on your skin, the more likely you are to develop an allergy to it and it could get to the point where you can no longer work with epoxy
Awesome thank you so much for posting this video!!! I have been thinking about making one!! Thanks again!! Awesome job and talent you have and craftsmanship!!
thank you! I highly recommend giving it a try. it took me about 5 tries to get to a product I was happy with so just keep trying!
@@clarkstrangэээ́ээ
Amazing job .... very well done! Thanks a lot for sharing.
You made a lovely knife there. Well done. Thank you for the vid, I enjoyed it.
I've wanted to make a knife like this for some time now and this video really clears things up for me. Subscribed😄
thanks! glad I could help
I loved the scales you put on and it all turned out very nicely...❤👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
Wow, I am very impressed, what a great job did you done!!!!
I'm trying to talk myself out of this but now I want to do it even more LOL 👍 great job and thanks for the video
Nice work, Clark!
Hi Clark,just come across this video,superb,it really is,great skills.
Sorry,a couple of questions if you can please answer.
What size brass dowels,what size drill bit,what size reamimg bit?
Where did you get that blade bolder from?
What thickness steel for blade?
Is stainless ok to use? for blade and spring?
What grade and material where your belts,noticed you used two different grades.Thanks Clark.
The knife handle is really a great eye-catcher. Well done.
thank you!
Amazing talent!!
I appreciate such kind of talents
hei.
thanks for sharing your skills.
a question: what paste do you use for solder brass? thanks
beautiful Knife, and curious at what stage was the tension put on spring? Thanks

What is the spacer that you used between the blade and outer piece where the blade pivots?
It was simply a piece of a soda can. If I didn't put it there the fit would be too tight and not pivot
Beautiful work, love the honeycomb scales. Thank you for the informative video!
thanks bud! I saw your paratrooper knife last night, you do great work!
Preciosa y espectacular, muy bien ajustada y trabajada. 👌👌👌 me gustaría tener una.
Suscrito. 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your work 🙏 I'd like to know Why you put the knife in the microwave after heat ?
that process is called tempering, it is used to soften the blade a bit so it doesn't break.
It was a micro size oven, not a microWAVE oven! For cripes sake! Please, PLEASE, don't tell me you don't know better than to put metal in a microwave!!!!
I would watch my hands and fingers friends, you are cutting it might close and those are some powerful machines. The knife looks nice, but is the blade or spring heat treated at all or did I miss that?
Where did you buy the little c clamps, I would love to have some. I like the knurled tighteners on them.
unfortunately I don't have an exact place to send you to get them. they are vintage machinist clamps, id say look on Ebay. I probably got mine a garage sales
well done all the best to you from John in Texas
Super job. Cool knife
I forgot this was 1095 when I seen you bust off the forge. I was like what are you doing !! Then I remembered this is adult steel and not stainless 😂
Where did you acquire handle /scale it’s looks fantastic once finished?
I made that handle material out of old computer heatsink and resin, but you can buy a similar material called c-tek. And thank you! I'm glad you liked it
I have recently purchased the stuff to learn except the grinder. Thought about using a flat file for now. Any thoughts or suggestions.
The first folding knife I made I used only files and a hand drill! I recommend getting good layout fluid so that your scribe lines don't rub off when you reposition the parts. Also get some good files and a file card to clean the chips out
Great job 😎👍
Thank you!

As a professional Knive maker myself, I’m not easily impressed. Your raw talent impresses me. Excellent
thank you! that means a lot. is there anywhere I can see your work?

How much harder is it to make a lockback than a slipjoint would you say?

What was that paste you applied when soldering the brass bolsters?
Good job 👏 👍 👌
Really impressive work
AWSOMEEEW!!! PDF Template?
Great work, how are you attaching the bolster to the liner?
I use silver solder
@@clarkstrang the paste you put on and heated up is just Flux then? Thanks for the reply, cheers.
For the spring, I prefer to use 5160 or 6160
Very masterpiece❤❤❤
Parabéns, ficou uma maravilha.
Very very nice my friend 👍👌
Nice video. Thank's for sharing !
Trens de Pesca - Brasil - Parabéns pelo trabalho! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good work!
Eee gapyo‘ malades chiroyli chiqdi
Nice knife!
So you use the same materials for the blade and the spring?
Yes! With this design, 1095 works well for me. If the spring doesn't break on the first open, it's good to go
@@clarkstrang did you hardened the spring too then tempering after? Was wanting to make a folder for myself but the spring part is the most tricky part for me. Watching your steps makes me wanna go with mine.
@@akuluka the spring is hardened and then tempered to a dark blue
@@clarkstrang thanks for the explanation. Wicked piece that.
@@akuluka thanks! If you make a folder, DM me a picture on Instagram. I'd love to see It!
Спасибо мастер,отличная работа.
Вы мастер 👍😉🤗

Pretty nice job! 👍
Ou vez vous trouvé les plaques de métale néssécaires à la lame ?
what kind of drill you are drilling with the second time
Its called a ream. It's used to make a perfectly round hole that is an exact size. Standard drill bits are only accurate to a few thousand of and inch and they don't always make a perfectly round hole
ok thanks, I'll look for it

Good job ; thank you
Not a fan of the scale material but love the design ! Awesome job ! It looks very nice
Very cool
Have you heard about "Rampuri Knife" from India hand made foldable knifes ? They are class and pease of art
Good Build, subscribed.

Lovely! But needs a bolster! Make me one in bone?

Trabalho de um verdadeiro profissional.Adorei
Qual o preço da navalha?
Obrigado
Beautiful achievement 👍 but very surprised to see the spring in 1095
What should it be made from?
@@stormyeffects4795 I think the comment was not for you , i made a mistake
@@passionknife8721
What do you mean? I didn’t make the video, but I’m still curious what steel it should be made from?
