I love birch bark, people who have never used it for anything have no idea how versatile it is. I used to collect it just to use on picture frames because the tourists love it when they see photos of the outdoors or animals framed with birch bark, but it's uses, knife sheaths, shingles, can be ground into flour, a great firestarter and eaten in a survival situation.
Nice job! I used to make things like this when my ex and I were traders on the Rendezvous Circuit in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah. It was fun and while not necessarily profitable, it brought a lot of knowledge! It also helped me with a book I wrote and hope to publish soon! It's MUCH easier if you have DONE the work, to write about it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much :D! i am happy you like it. I could see that it is easier to write about it once you have done it your self. Good luck with the book!
@@zakisworkshop THANKS!! It's a Mountain Man, historical novel of well over 600 pages! It has many REAL historical Characters in it and I LIVE where it takes place! Many of the Native Characters in the book, I know and am friends with their Great Grandchildren! It helps! Keep up the good work!
use the rough side of the leather to apply the quills. They will sink into the leather and hold better. The smooth side (hair side) makes them sit higher up and more prone to wear off. And I would not use grease on the leather. It deteriorates it, and the quills as well.
Realy cool man great job and historical accurate defenetly gonna try making one myself if my spelling is bad Thats becouse i life in The netherlands:)👍
Wow that blade is sharp , seems like it takes me longer to make a sheath than the knife . Great job on your sheath and knife I’ve been making for a couple of years myself and just finished a ‘frontier knife and sheath with copper rivets and leather fringe ( my daughter always wore Manatoga leather boots with a lot of fringe And I saved about 8 pairs with each with a lot of fringe. I have been using 1/4 inch copper tubing, clamping in a flaring tool And driving a swedging tool into it to get the bell shape and pulling small feathers into them. What steel did you forge that from , it’s scary sharp ?
Thank you ! Yearh it always take me a ligner time to make the sheath, then the knife! Sounds like a good project😃! The knife is forged from spring steel 😄
Great video enjoyed it but I have to bring this to your attention, when you were using the wet stone to sharpen the knife you did one side from heal to tip of the knife then from tip to heal, doing this can put a wide edge on the knife and or not take the edge back off it making it dull
@@zakisworkshopI've been putting together a eastern woodlands 18th century kit... did you make it? Or buy it? I'm finishing up a sheath today and starting some pucker toe moccs.. I can't find a cheap source for wool to make leggings or breechcloth..
@@theeverythingchannel2442 sounds cool :D! i bought it at historicalemporium.com. Sounds cool i love pucker toe moccasins ! i know i have looked everywhere and wool is always expensive :D
alright guy i am so please to see you hand forge your blade it is so much better then stock removal you do not waste all that material as with stock removal but one thing when hammering your rivits try using a washer so you do not damage your scales
Great job on the video. New here and you have my subscription. Would love to have your support as well. Keep up the great work your knives look awesome. ATB Joe
Dandy work. Native Americans never had steel though prior to European trade. They never even had an Iron Age for the most part. Might have even skipped bronze.
Question? I see Asians sword makers heating/folding, heating/folding, making many layers of metal! Then flatten one side for edge! Why not fold metal over on it self here many times?
Good question 😃! The japanese sword smiths fold the steel and the sword because theyre using an old type of steel witch they have to fold to make it strong. I am using a mordern carbon spring steel it dosent have to be folded, it is already strong 😃
@@zakisworkshop :- You are correct. It is a modern misconception that pattern welded steel ( folded steel, sometimes inappropriately called Damascus) is stronger than modern steels. This is not necessarily true and could often be false, as pattern welded/folded steel can include occulsions (bits of foreign material) or cracks which weaken the steel and cause fracture points.

6:40 I have a burn mark in the same spot in my sweater 🤣. Were you using an angle grinder?
Haha !!, yes i was using an angle grinder 😂😆👍
Nice work , just goes to show you don't need fancy equipment
thank you so much :D
That belt sander that’s on your bench grinder is it some kind of attachment you bought or did it come with the grinder?
It just came whit the grinder , it a femi 56n belt and bench grinder 😃
What did you use to make the inside of the sheath?
i used birch bark for the inside of the sheath :D!
@@zakisworkshop THANK YOUUU!!! 😁
Scalping knife blades were usually more curved. Your knife looks more like an English trade knife. Grizz 🐻
I know it's a random question but are you wearing a trade shirt?
yes its kinda a trade shirt :D! its called a trappers shirt :D!
@@zakisworkshopI've been putting together a eastern woodlands 18th century kit... did you make it? Or buy it? I'm finishing up a sheath today and starting some pucker toe moccs.. I can't find a cheap source for wool to make leggings or breechcloth..

Hello Sir.What is a steel did You use for Your knives ?
hello sir, i use carbon spring steel for my knives :D!
nice
Thank you 😃
every time in every knifemaking video... we wat to see the finished knife. we watched half an hour or more and dont get the result .
Nice video but just curious when did native Americans start making steel or even know how to make steel the back during those days
thank you :D! they did not make steel or forge as far as i know, but they traded knifes and other things with the settlers.
Hey everybody :D! if you are interested in buying some of my work check out my new website
www.zakiworkshop.com/
when drilling holes, try PB Blaster, or actual cutting oil. WD 40 is Awesome, but it sucks as a cutting oil.
Thank you for the tip 😃
alright guy i am so please to see you hand forge your blade it is so much better then stock removal you do not waste all that material as with stock removal but one thing when hammering your rivits try using a washer so you do not damage your scales
Thanks for the tip 😃
How to make a contact with You about Your knives - ?
Sorry for spell check it's meant to say wire edge on the knife
👍👍
thank you :D!!!
Wow I never knew that American natives had iron knowledge??
Great job on the video. New here and you have my subscription. Would love to have your support as well.
Keep up the great work your knives look awesome.

Dandy work. Native Americans never had steel though prior to European trade. They never even had an Iron Age for the most part. Might have even skipped bronze.
Everything looks rushed.. why you would remove the forge scale and not keep it brute de forge I don’t know.
Might be snowing! Lol
