- This is how I made a little slipjoint folder. The blade and spring is made from stainless aeb-l steel, the liners, pins and bolsters from brass and the scales from desert ironwood.

I am Teodor Stiernholm, 16 year old knife maker and blacksmith from Sweden’s West coast.
I make all kinds of knives - everything from small carving knives to big chef’s knives. It all started in August 2019 and I always strive to making the next knife a notch better than the last one.
All the knives you see in the shop are handmade by me from raw materials to a finished knife. I work both with stainless and high carbon steel.
I’m new to knife making and always want to try a folder at some point. Great video giving us a view into your process. Thanks!
Thank you! Give it a go! A folder may seem intimidating at first but the simpler ones are not too hard to make at all. Start with a friction folder to get the hang of things. After that, progressing to a slipjoint won't seem like a too big of a step.
@ Thanks! My cause for nervousness is the design. Trying to find a good template to follow so I can build off of it for future projects is tough.
that's a work of art! I'm Brazilian and I admire artisans. Success for you
Nice. Clean lines and smooth action
I'm really amazed at your folding knives.
Awesome work. Milling liners with a dremel is impressive
Nice job, thanks a lot for sharing!
Beautiful work
Splendid job that mate.

A work of art, stunning.

Отличный ножик ❤
You have done well!😀
Nice looking knife. The knife looks like a buck.10
I thought it was in the picture lol. Great job bro
Very nice.
Many hours of planning and work,we'll done.
That is a great looking knife! Would love to see more about fitting up the inside components. Like tips for getting the blade, the spring/kicker, and the pivot points all worked out.
That's probably the most challenging part of the build! I don't really show it that much in the video, although my friend Matt made two great videos about it on his channel.

@@teodorstiernholm Thanks! I'm hoping to give a try myself when I get time
Love from Mumbai, this is masterpiece.
Great project! I advise not tempering above 300°C, it is detrimental to steel properties (except for HSS steels)
Feels good doesn't it. The finished product.
Здравия. Отличная работа🤝Привет из России.
awesome knife! can you tell me what was that red adhesive you used to stick the blade down for handsanding? And what was that pink tapered reamer you used to taper the holes for peening? looks like a better way than I do it so Id love to know! thanks from another Theodore
Thank you Theodore! Well, the red adhesive you see is just hot glue that I've melted. I use it a lot when I'm not able to use a clamp. The pink reamer you saw me use was just a ceramic dremel burr. You can find them in all different sizes for next to nothing at Amazon or your local hardware store.
👏👏
Sicket hantverk. Kul och intressant att få se hela processen också!
My hobby had been refurbishing old pocketknives i.e., replacing the scales (mostly Derlin) with hardwood that I harvest from my yard. The trees that grow in my yard are Elm, Cherry, Apple, Wild Plum, Manchurian Apricot (the trees died but I harvested the wood) and Black walnut. Only problem is that I seem to have lost interest in refurbishing.
What does the tin foil do or what’s it used for?
It's a stainless steel foil that is wrapped around the blade to create an airtight seal. This is so that the steel won't oxidize at the high temperature that it's heat treated at.
Oh okay thank you . Can you get it at any store or online?
@@tylerkennedy2797 It's not something you get at your local hardware store, although most knife making supplies retailers online offer it. Here's two good alternatives: popsknife.supplies/products/309-stainless-heat-treat-foil?_pos=1&_sid=9bca9864b&_ss=r
