Thank you from a veteran with 34 years in, getting ready to retire and begging for a hobby.
Heck yeah, thank you for your service sir! This is a great hobby man. You won't be disappointed!
Amen bro! This is a great way to pass the time!
Hobbies to avoid: telescope mirror making, ham radio, soaring, sailing, oboe playing, stock trading, golf, harmonica, and a few others. The knives I have made were made from rebar, so they are not as robust as the one in this video. For everyday carry, I like a Swiss Army knife... because it has a phillips screwdriver.
Vegans and vets have similarities

Great job as always James. I had a similar experience when I started making knives- but I purchased everything from Harbor Freight. I made a bunch of blades with minimal equipment- then moved to a 1x30- whatever it takes but the important thing is that is can be done.
Awesome Nick! In reality you could do this whole project with a drill and a file! I started in a similar manor as you did. Thanks for your comment!
I wish I had such a guide when I started making knives a few years ago. Perfect guide, 30 minutes passed by like 30 seconds. And some humour as well :) Great job mate.
Hey man, I really appreciate your comment! I'm hoping that maybe it can get some people into the game of knifemaking!
you should look at this :: th-cam.com/video/tTIj5-fgg5w/w-d-xo.html
"If you grow a beard you will gain 10% in strength and your awesomeness will also go up" HAHAHA Subscribed!
Hell yeah, thanks Liam! Glad you liked it!
@@RedBeardOps ditto subbed too :)
Didn’t work for my girlfriend. She’s only 9% stronger. And I don’t like her beard!
@@RedBeardOps idk if you ever noticed but the more polished blade is it's harder for the patina or cold blueing to set it. But more so a patina issue. I struggled to the point of frustration.
Last blade i was doing i was lazy on the polish said screw it. Patina was much more efficient. I roughed up the other blades a tad it made a significant difference in all 5 of my blades i did a patina on.
one problem, i dont have enough hairs! -10% strength for me.
Man, thank you so much for the information that you provide for those of us who need it. I made my first knife by watching your videos and I'm surprised how much I love the finished product. Thank You!!!
Heck yeah! Thanks for your comment! Glad it's helping
I had this sitting in my recommended for a while, and I was hesitant to watch it, but I'm glad I did. You've earned yourself another subscriber... have a cookie.
Lol, thank you sir! Appreciate that.
A full users manual on "How to make", well explained and full of useful tricks, not only for beginners! Ty very much for your work!🙏
Glad it was helpful! You'll love the video I have dropping tomorrow!
I loved your honesty. Yes you can make a knife with cheep tools, yes it will work, yes the feeling of accomplishment is second to none, but to make something truly great it sometimes requires just that step above. That could be time, equipment, skill (from doing/learning) or just a continued love of what your doing and trying to better it and yourself.
Either way for me nothing compares to the felling of achievement and the joy I get from making simple knives for my family and friends that I have been able to make from watching people like you. So thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment Shayne! Much appreciated.
Very informative video. Wish I had a tutorial like this when I started knifemaking. A simple yet in depth look, very through on the points that really matter for beginning knifemakers.
Hey Matthew, I really appreciate your comment! That is exactly what I was going for. Cheers man.
There are a couple of take-aways here, for me (a knife-making noob, but knife fan of over 40 years)
1) The chainsaw file plunge idea is inspired! How I wished I'd seen THAT idea when I started making this knife!
2) The chainsaw Spanish notch idea afterwards makes a lot of sense, too.
Cheers James, for the info and PDF! (I saved it 😉)
Keep safe!
🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
Heck yeah man! Glad you liked this one. That chain saw file has been damn handy for me! lol
Hey!! I wanted to let you know I have been working on getting into knife making, and your channel has been a huge source of information for me. I just quenched my first blade and got it hard enough to skate a file. My blade also started out life as your skinner design, and I had to make a few adjustments. Thank you so much for your videos.
Good luck man!
Stuck at home during lockdown, was bored as hell, needed a new edc knife, found this video. Thank you very much!
Heck yeah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely enjoyed every second, especially the ending. Doing things like that gives you so much information about how you did on your heat treatment as well as handle construction. Great video as always brother!
Thanks Wayne! I do wish I would of thought about ordering some soft fire bricks before taking on this project... would of had much better HT results, but hey... live and learn. Thanks as always for the comment. Cheers!
Great video. I’ve made my knives using tools I have laying around at home and love seeing what’s possible on a low budget.
Right on man! Glad you liked this one.
I am very much a beginner and really appreciate all the links to other makers and helpful videos that you shared during the video. Thank you for the great content.
THank you very much sir! Good luck on your journey!
Dude, genius. Thank you!
Glad you liked it sir! Have a great Sunday!
My man, you are an absolute genius! I grew up in a machine shop with mills and lathes, you have done the equivalent on a much lower budget. I love it. Great looking knife!
Thanks Jorge! Really appreciate your comment! I'm still learning on the milling side... lots to learn. Hope to see you around the comment section to learn me up!
@@RedBeardOps Major props for displaying the TEXAS flag, as you can tell from my pro pic, I'm also Texan!
The angle guide for your file is brilliant and simple. That's what's it all about.
Cheers sir! Thanks for your comment!
thank you for not doing what a lot of idiots do with angle grinders and recommend gloves, just an FYI for anyone wondering what im talking about, if you wear gloves using a saw, angle grinder, table saw, anything with a circular motion ect. you risk it catching and pulling your hand or fingers into it resulting in losing a appendage or limb depending on the size.
That sounds pretty darn painful
I've watched tons of videos on knife making. Step by step with full explanations, this one was probably the best I've seen for people who don't have all the equipment like a forge and belt grinder. Subscribed!
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed this one. I really appreciate your comment!
@@meyou-mk3qz Make Everything has a great channel! I haven't "ripped anyone off" though. ? Sorry you feel that way. Hope you have a great week!
@@meyou-mk3qz that channel does not exist
10% awesomeness and strength? Priceless!
Lol, glad you liked it Owen! Cheers man have a good one.
What a great video!!! Even for those of us that have been making blades for awhile, reminds us of when WE first started. AND GOD BLESS THE GREAT REPUBLIC OF TEXAS!!!
Heck yeah man, glad you liked this one. Texas is the best state in the USA for sure, hands down.
Your filing jig is genius. I’ve done a ton precision file work, and I can’t tell how much time this would have saved me compared to other filing methods I used.
It is awesome. Got it from here - Filing Jig - th-cam.com/video/r9iNDRwwBQQ/w-d-xo.html
I’ve got a grinder and a hacksaw, I’m gonna make an Ultratech clone.
Good luck SIr!
you the wooded beardsman's brother? damn sir! Also doing exactly what this video shows for my own channel over the past few months. I'm working and learning as I go. Thank you fro teaching me another slice of what I need to know!
Awesome man, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I have used Gough's file guide to sharpen knives too using a Smith Tri-hone I had. I removed the stones from the plastic base and glued them to scrap wood so I had a surface to put the hose clamps on while using the full length of the stones.
Very cool Mike!
Great video! Right now where a lot of people have time on their hands and are at home, a good video for picking up knifemaking, AND it shows what can go wrong, good. Keep it up and stay safe!
Yes sir! Thank you! I try to keep these videos honest, so I'll show my mistakes too. Like you said, I hope this motivates some people to get in the shop!
What a thorough and comprehensive video. Knife making in new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have to say the costing aspect really gave a new dimension to the possible taking up of this hobby. While a lot of people will have some of the tools and some may have all, it shows the potential knife maker that you can start cheaply and progress with better equipment as your skill levels improve too. Great video, thank you.
Hello sir! I really appreciate your comment! My exact goal with this video. Really happy you enjoyed it
@@RedBeardOps I have subscribed and look forward to more great videos. Many thanks Brian.
Dude your channel is killer. Seeing you test the knifes endurance was good. I'm learning how to make my own knives so this video did help alot. Thanks Red Beard
Heck yeah, glad you liked it Scott!
Rather than watching so many videos, I should have this one video...30 min approx..but loaded with information. I am going to try knife making on my channel and a big thank you for this video. This is a proper video that gives out all necessary information for a beginner
Heck yeah man! Glad you enjoyed it sir! Good luck with your channel!
Excellent video, very good information. You have inspired me to begin knife making! I made a filing jig like yours and Gough's and it works great, thank you. I discovered that if I tighten the clamps too much it can bow the file causing streaky marks vertically. It is fun to learn new things!
Heck yeah! Glad to hear it! I'm posting a full knife and sheath build tomorrow, hope you enjoy that one too.
Harbor freight has large propane a torch for weeds at 20$ that can connect to your standard bbq tank. I use it for lighting up my smoker also.
Have a great day!
Cool to see a video like this! I started out with all amazon bought tools and as Walter Sorrells put it I “polished a turd” tools really didn’t last more than a few knives, a few rounds of those tools and wouldn’t you know I’m still a turd polisher😂 getting better though!
Very cool sir! Thanks for your comment!
Love your instructions. I have made a few knives but cant wait to employ some of your methods on my next build.
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. So much quality information in under 30 minutes. Thank you, sir.
Glad it was helpful!
One thing that is helpful with the angle grinder: Save worn sanding discs for the edge work. It will be slower, but a little more forgiving. Still must be careful though. Same is true of cut off wheels. I save some that have worn down (smaller radius) to get into tight spots. Dont take them all the way down to the drive-dog of course- they will break apart at some point.
Great tip! The're a useful tool for sure. You can do a lot with an angle grinder.
this was absolutely perfect
I made a tanto out of an old file using only a grinder and diamond stones. Oh and torch for soldering the habaki.
Very nice sir!
Excellent video, thanks for posting.
Glad you liked it! THank you sir
Excellent training..!! Going to your links now. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, good luck with your builds!
Once again another excellent production! I especially like how you went to hand sanding in your filing jig that was a neat idea
Thank you sir! I made a good deal of knives on that jig! If you have the patience you can turn out some great products with it. Glad you enjoyed this one, have a great day!
As a bearded man myself i can say its true about beard giving you AWESOMENESS and Strength
Heck yeah Victor! 100% accurate!
I cannot begin to express the gratitude for this video! I will begin making knives with my youngest brother very soon & as much as I want to get all the GOOD gear and I will eventually I have an itch to start as soon as possible, and this gave me so many good ideas to get going! Unfortunately, the "pretty" fence my girl wanted for our new place took priority and that is OK, safety for our pup comes first!! Long story still long, THANK YOU R-B-O ! The very end of the video killed me, thought it came out great but much respect for showing us newbies the realities, pros and cons of knife making in this aspect!!! You are awesome!
Thank you very much sir! Glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your builds!
Usually Videos talking about simple tools are complete bs. This guy did it right tho, Amazon tools and a torch for edge hardening.
Finally I'll be able to heattreat the stuff I make.
Heck yeah Jon, thanks for your comment!
you should look at this :: th-cam.com/video/tTIj5-fgg5w/w-d-xo.html
I'm currently making a knife for a friend using ordinary hand tools and a thought occurred to me. Know the difference between a $50 knife and a $500 knife? About 5 hours of polishing. I don't make a lot of knives and I've never sold one (I manage to give them away) so I'm making him a $50 knife. Thanks for your tutorial, it will definitely help beginning knife makers on a budget. Update: I believe Geough is pronounced "Jeff". The "gh" is a soft "gh" as in "enough". Update to the update: Well I was wrong. I watched Geough's video and it sounded like he said "guff".
Man I'm terrible with names. You're 100% right on the polishing... Teaches for patience for sure.
Gough is pronounced “goff”. (gh as in cough)
I actually watched to see your Beard but man, you put out one fkn good good video!
SUBSCRIBED!
Heck yeah! Thanks man, glad you liked it. Have a great weekend!
Outstanding video, Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you sir!
Thanks for all the tips! Great job man!
You bet! Thank you very much Daniel! Glad you liked it!
their are guides to make a heat treat oven with a large can, and some fire clay, and a socket for the torch to sit in.
Yep those would be good options for this project. Cheers sir!
That gaining 10% strength with a beard = new sub:)
Heck yeah, thanks Jason! Have a great week!
For making handles I often like using a scroll saw. Just another pretty good option for it.
Good option for sure!
Love that honemade Lasky system!
Thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed this one.
This is how I started, it's a great way to get started and turn out some really cool blades.
I agree, thank you sir!
Interesting and well explained and discussed as always, good stuff. I couldn't help but cringe at the end with the testing hehe.
Yea it looked a bit cold when you quenched but that's the limit of that method as you said and the little brick forge will overcome that for very little extra outlay.
Thank you! Yeah, wish I would of bought a couple of small bricks before this project, but hey... part of the learning. Cheers man.
Try some charcoal and a fan blower next time 😉 You can use a cheap fan to make a blower.. And some bricks to build a small forge 👍 Appreciate your effort
Very cool primer for beginners. This should help get anyone stated on a makers journey.
I hope so!
It’s actually so satisfying to watch filing in bevels
For sure! CHeers man
If this video doesn’t get get a person who is thinking about getting into knife making off the fence, I don’t know what will. Another great video!!
Thanks Matt! That's the goal for sure! Thanks for your comment.
Another good video like this is one from outdoors 55 grinder knife
As far as epoxy goes, 5 minute set time epoxy will hold up for a while, but it isn't waterproof and will deteriorate after several years, 60 minute set epoxy is waterproof and wont deteriorate the same way 5 minute will (it can last upwards of 30 years)
Fore sure! G-Flex has a 24hr cure. That stuff is great and long lasting. The CA Rouge is at 60 min and the BSI mid cure is 15 i think. Thanks for your comment sir!
5 minute epoxy has a much lower melting point. It’s great for glueing fishing rod tip guides as you can remove/ reposition the guide using a butane lighter to soften the epoxy.
But, use slow set epoxy for scales.
Woah! Right on Jimmy 😂😂 ! I'm glad you are still at it!!!
I was on here catching up on soldering and you came up on my list!!
-Rachel
Hey, thanks! Good hobbies are good to have I guess. Keeps me busy. Hope all is well! 🙌
The drill bit centre finding trick is Brilliant... thank you, its about the only thing holding me bak. Gonna try soon x
Good luck sir! Glad you liked it!
If you REALLY have a lot of time you could make a knife using only a file, I actually tried it and only got it really roughly shaped it took about 40 hours in total or maybe less but I almost lost my mind.
This is true! And I would lose my mind as well!
Be extra careful when drilling the tang, one slip and you will have to learn to play the flute.
Have a great day!
The drill bit center mark 😲
Meta 👌🏻
Thank you sir! Glad you liked it! Sorry for my delayed response.
Amazing thank you for sharing I’m so glad someone finally showed u can use cheap tools to make a great knife you inspired and motivated me to make a knife
Heck yeah! Good luck with your build sir!
Thank you is there anyway I can send you my before/middle/after pictures?
PPE: I wear a pair of Noise-canceling ear muff style headphones when i am in my shop (that i actually on amazon) and listen to audiobooks or music as I work
Heck yeah. I love being able to listen to music and podcast while working!
PPE: Short story.... 20 years ago I was in at 1 of the big 3. Back before all this technology so I was fortunate to have that job. When it came to rules/ regulations of course we needed PPE, but no headphones. They provided the ear protection. I was 19 and wanted music but my job more. There was this guy 1 machine over who did wear phones and lost his arm shoulder and bit of his left ear. I learned real smart real quick about the policy protection for our ears not distraction from our jobs. Had to be aware enough to hear the machines when they go off, or back up, or any sound they should not be making. Ready to hit the BIG RED button when needed. Yes I did say when not if. So filing away with a file .... sure have some shop music from a radio. But please don't plug your ears with music to the point you can't hear your equipment. Thanks guys
Heed the warnings, tinnitus is a bitch (got some complementary of uncle sam). Great video mate very informative and easy to follow 👍🇺🇸
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job explaining. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers sir!
I finally got my stencils in the mail today. I’ll have to check out your etching video before I attempt to etch my first knife. I can’t wait 😊
Heck yeah! Good luck sir! I normally hit it with 12 seconds of contact on DC (in 1 second on 2 second off increments)
I have purchased and received etching stencils he mentioned in his video. Only took a week and stencil is top notch!
Most places charge more for a single knife to hear treat than to buy the torch
This is true, good point.
Hell... all of my knives are made with cheap Amazon and Harbor Freight tools. Started with just an HF 1x30 and a corded drill.
Awesome man! That's how I started too!
Thank you for sharing this awesome knowledge, and will try with my cheap tools
Good luck! Cheers!
Another fine explanation of the process. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
The testing at the end felt like killing puppies. We all got invested in the knife, we gave it a name, then it died.
LOL, sorry about that sir! It's a necessary step though. Breaking knives is part of the game! Glad you enjoyed this one.
@@RedBeardOps Great vid tho, I enjoy your content :)
In all fairness that would have happened to the knife when you started using it anyway.
So what you're telling me is...I'm going to use alot of sandpaper.
Lol, yes sir! Lots of sand paper for sure.
Thanks!! I’m about to start making my first knife and so far your videos have helped me loads. I really Appreciate the hard work you put in!
Hey yeah, Garry. I have a video coming out in about 20 min that you'll love when researching making your first knife. Cheers
@@RedBeardOps Thank you. I will definitely check it out right away. So far at least I have the steel resembling that of a knife, but it still needs a bit of persuasion before it can call itself a knife 😄
I clamp a sharpened nail down to mark the center line of the edge. May work a little better. I love your improvised rotary sander for the finger well
Cheers Eric
“Just a little bit of time” (takes 5 hours) just a bit of time a “little bit”
Hey man, that's not much when it comes to making knives! LOL
Red Beard Ops yeah it’s pretty cool I would like to make knives but I just feel like I would waste my money on the tools but how much would a knife like that be worth?
@@masoncragg1902 it would probably cost around 100 dollars to make your first knife if you dont have tools.
From the thumbnail i expected an Irish accent
LOL, sorry for the disappointment!
Heard you mentioned "Tormek style sharpener" - the factory, or rather : shop, where they make the original is just a hundred yards from my house ... If I raise from my chair now I can see their logo. Glad to hear that their products made such an impact worldwide!
Heck yeah Bo. From what I can tell they're wonderful machines. If I wasn't so cheap, I'd own the real thing!
Super useful especially with the chainsaw file for the plunge.
Glad it was helpful!
Next time, are you gonna make a knife with Harbor Freight tools?
Maybe, that's not a bad idea sir!
“You could bring it all the way up to a mirror polish if you wanted to...and you’re a masochist” 🤣😂
LOL, the truth! Not my jam for sure!
Well done, I think this will be a winner. Great title too, should draw a crowd. Thanks for putting this out. I never made a knife even though, I have most of the tools needed, just not motivated to do so. This video help keep it simple and easy for a guy like me to follow.
Hey Ken, thanks for that! It's a fun weekend project for sure. Defiantly can test your patience! Hope all is well. Cheers
I watched this last year, and am now re-watching it. I find it great that I managed (by sheer coincidence) to have picked up the same angle grinder.
Thanks Ryan!
one of the best videos so far that I have seen... very detailed and clear
Thank you very much, sir!
love your way to share your knowlege to us, thumbs up!
Thank you! Cheers! Have a great weekend
What an awesome video! Thanks so much for putting all that time and energy into this. Very zen to destroy your creation.
Lol, glad you enjoyed it sir!
Awesome video. I have all the power tools you need to do this the typical way but, being a beginner (as well as a perfectionist), I am having a lot of trouble getting things to turn out like I hoped. So, I am going to take a step back and make a few by hand just to get the process down and then reintroduce the big-boy tools. Thanks!
That's a good plan! Harder to mess up by hand for sure
Great video fellow strong beardsman.
Here's a sandpaper hack- put duct tape on the back of the sandpaper to increase it's strength and lifespan (it's a beard for sandpaper)
You can also put chalk on your file or sandpaper to reduce the gumming up effect that tends to happen.
Thank you for the tips!
Thanks for this nice video, it reminds me of the basic readings. In particular it seems to actualize Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop.
I had never seen a file mounted that way, and to get the bevel. Nice creative ideas.
Thank you very much sir, sorry for the delayed response.
Great video. This will be my first knife that I make
Heck yeah! Good luck sir!
Great teaching video again👍 You have definitely given me the confidence to try a few of these techniques before I commit to buying a whole load of forging equipment and tools. Great looking little knife too. Thank you sir. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
some day.. i will have the place and find the time to do things like this.. love it!!
Heck yeah, thanks Javier! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great informative video, also good to se someone promoting entry level stuff as opposed to complicated builds with expensive forging/finishing equipment
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been watching forged in fire and really want to try making my own knife, your videos really help🙏🏻
Heck yeah! Glad you're enjoying them sir!
Updates?
Thank you. Been looking at making some small carving blades and the heat treat is the main thing I was worried about
Heck yeah, cheers man. If you're going to be using 1084, I have a video on the details of the HT here th-cam.com/video/TBIiWwawKSY/w-d-xo.html
You Sir, are a genius! Outstanding video!
Just standing on the shoulders of giants! Thanks for your comment!
Your health and Safty is amazing, the beard part is so true. 🤣🤙🏼 thanks for the great video.
I appreciate that the video without music so we can feel the work you put on this nice job.
Cheers sir, Thanks for your feedback. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!
awsome man!!! thank you. from Argentina!!!
Heck yeah Carlos! Glad you liked it!
