Amazing skill
Thank you!!
Good job man.. I like the way you made the video... Keep growing
Dude when you said "neon light not good for grinding"
Hell I laughed till I lost my breath 😆
Nice kerambit
Nice personally produced Karambit!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😍
As soon as you see spray paint and a grinder it's just stock removal not forging.
I agree mate. I must say that there is 30% "forging" and 70% shaping and grinding. Forging would be shaping most of the knife and then hand filing what's left of the shape. I'll change the title :D
Thanks for the comment.
Cheers!
@@dudemakesstuff Who cares if it isn't fully "forged" Still an amazing blade man!
Hehe making the edge blue with a marker👍🏻.
Karambit is a nice knife to start on as a confident knife builder 😁
Nice end result 👍🏻great job.
Thanks a lot!
Dude..i support u...u r too good...lots of love from india
Thanks a lot mate
@@dudemakesstuff ❤
Sweet
what size of hole did you cut in this kerambit? was the tool one of those rotabroaches? Thanks!
You have skills very cool to watch
Thanks a lot!
@@dudemakesstuff sorry about spelling lol just noticed their lol 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
👍🏻😁
My cat is getting old.when her time comes I want to put her ash into a karambit knife. You know make a loyal companion into a loyal companion. This could be seen as any moral but still something I might want to do I just want to know if you'll make the knife brittle?
What is the total length of the Karambit, and its blade? Thanks. Very Impressive!
Im wondering, why would you heat it back up to red and let it cool slowly after quenching? That’s a process called normalizing and it softens the metal, so the knife would have very little hardness left in it. For most hardened things heating it up even past a dark blue in the temper ruins the hardness let alone back up to red, is there a reason you did it that way? As a bladesmith I’m genuinely curious.
Hi. As you said, the normalizing process, takes some hardness away from the steel after the quench. However it restores the micro structure by relieving the thermal stress, just like the temper does and makes it less brittle. I did not plan to use this blade so I didn't mind losing some hardness.
I'm not even close to be an expert blacksmith, I'd like to know your your heat treatment recipe! :)
@@dudemakesstuff I typically do my normalizing cycles before the quench. I do three cycles at varying temperatures depending on the type of steel. This relieves the tension in the metal before the quench, reducing the risk of cracks developing. Then I temper it. Heating any metal passed the temper colours removes most of it not all the hardness, meaning the heat treat has been completely undone.
That’s why when a drill bit overheats and goes through the temper colours it has to be thrown out, all the hardness is gone and it can’t be used for its intended purpose anymore. And that’s just hot enough for the temper colours! I personally like to have as much hardness in the steel as I can after the quench, but temper the blades usually twice for an hour at 475 ish
Man this deserves more attention
Also do you think the handle will do well with brass?
Hi! I'm not sure if I understood: are you asking if the handle will look good with brass instead of steel?
@@dudemakesstuff
Yeah pretty much
@@helenajowkar3913 Ok! I think that a more clear color would fit better with brass, any brown, shiny steel, grey, even orange or red fit with brass. There are a lot of choices when picking up Kirinite. Isn't black too dark for brass?
Mantap
Where did you copy the shape, size of the Karambit? The Pattern? TY
You try forging a cutlass saber
can you give me the template ?
I don’t really know that much about making stuff, if you somehow still respond to comments can you say why you do the oil thing?
Sure, that's the quenching process. It's meant to harden the steel
what material did you used for the handle?
It's Kirinite, a synthetic acrylic..!
@@dudemakesstuff thank you sir by the way nice video the knife looks descent keep it up
Minat bos cek mahar berapa
Be careful with that knife mate
Yup..!
Ezt nem így kell csinálni
Супер. Цена?
Hi. I'm currently not selling the items I build.
Thanks a lot for your interest!
