Freaking amazing, you make it look so easy. thank you for showing the rest of us that don't have all the fancy tools how to actually make a knife.. lVery much appreciated beautiful knife.
So, what alloy of steel did you use; what abrasive in your sandpaper; which composite or wood materials. What heat treatment, quench, and temper schedules. You could have done so much better with this video.
This is what I was looking for! I have a diving knife whose plastic handle has disintegrated. Nothing fancy, but a shame to throw it away, but no special tools. This has inspired me to repurpose it. I have a chunk of rosewood that has been in the shed for a couple of years. Don't worry, it won't be going in the sea again... 😁
I give to you my compliment becuse i see a lot of knifemakers and theirs productions but they have all instruments for working and in that dconditions is very easy to have the best knives. you are an artist as i whant to be . grazie tante
The greatest knife making video. With almost ALL makeshift tools you fabricated something absolutely beautiful and obviously made with the highest possible standards given the tools at your disposal. Hats off to you sir.
when i was about 14, i used my dads grinder and drill to make pipes for myself and my friends. i am a big boy and will make my own knife haha great show
It's not the price of the tool, it's the skill of the artist. Lovely work. What are the materials used in the three thin layers you stacked and glued with epoxy between the guard (back quillon) and the wooden handle? What are their purpose? My guess is they are leather, brass, and steel and they are just decorative? Is the guard made of brass?
HEY THANKS MAN IM GONNA TRY THIS IM GONNA USE AN OLD LAWN MOWER BLADE TO MAKE IT I KNOW ITS ALOT OF HAND WORK ITLL BE HARD FOR ME CAUSE I HAD A STROKE N LOSS ALOT OF USE OF MY LEFT HAND BUT I HAVE THE TOOLS BUT WHAT GRIT WAS THE SANDPAPER THAT YOU USED IN THE BEGINNING THERE N drill bit size what grit metal files to use what round grit files did you all use for this project I'd really appreciate it ok bud ok thank you hope to hear back from you
Mate, this is just amazing to watch. I am planning to do it myself soon, I really need to. To cure my wounded sould ;) Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing this.
Simplicity is inteligence .Here is an example how to make a knife. !.We though don't know the kind of steel, and I think the tempering could be better. Grate result.
Love the blade length from handle to tip great shape only thing I would change is towards tip on back of knife I would put or make a hump so when skining with blade edge facing up the hump will slightly push tip or point away from meat and not stick into meat so easy old butchers knives if you look were like this or slightly curved
@@robinleebraun7739 This. Austenite isn't magnetic and it needs to be austenite crystals before quench. Special alloys can make it stay austenite at room temperature which is why some stainless steels aren't magnetic. Best to use 1084 for this process since it's the easiest and fastest to transform since there's no chrome or stuff to slow down how fast carbon gets into solution. Ideally, you normalize it before the quench heat, so you take it nonmagnetic and hotter, to almost forge temp, then air cool, then you do the nonmagnetic and quench. This step helps with steels like 80CrV2 or 5160 with some chrome in it which slows how fast it dissolves, though it also makes it not need to be quenched as fast for the same reason since it gets more easily trapped. Some steels like 1095 and w1 are water quenching, and 1084 and 5160 is fairly fast oil. Canola is a very slow oil so you'll have to have a really thin knife for it to cook fast enough in that.
Your incredible craftsmanship resulted in a beautiful, very servicable knife. Thanks for sharing the fabrication process with us. ... Is it O1 tool steel? ... New subscriber
......with some special tools. Like Dremells, electric drills, blow torches, grinders et cetera. Still a great job and very interesting. I'd love to see a knife made totally by human-power though.
hello, i am making my first knife and got my shape cut out already. i am curious what type of oil should i use and how much of it for quenching? the blade is approximately 18cm in length
Old comment, but first off, the steel type changes the quench speed. 1095 is water quench, 1084, 80crv2, 5160 are fast oil quench, O1 is slow oil quench. Most beginners use canola oil but unless you're using less than 1/8th inch it certainly won't fully harden - unless you overheated it before the quench since grain growth makes it easier to harden but kills the steel's toughness. Heat the steel up to near forging temperature, then air cool, then do it again but only until it's all just non magnetic (check often) and then immediately quench. If you've got 1095 or W1, you might have to water quench if it's thicker, be careful of how thin your bevels are cut for that. Parks 50 is what you should use, but for 1084 you can get away with canola for thin stuff, and O1 will harden easily in canola even up to ½". Heat the oil up a little past body temp before using it so it's less viscous. After that, temper in an oven at 350-400f, twice for an hour each with a cool in between, you can just dip it in water and put it back in if impatient. Be aware that ovens aren't super even temp and can fluctuate and temperature is more critical than time here. Doing this instead of the typical straw color temper will give you a much tougher blade even if it's harder, since you let it destress slowly at lower temp, and you temper twice since the first temper can create new untempered martensite.. it's complicated but it works.
Very nice end result bud, like yourself I'm a basic hobbyist knife maker using mainly good quality old file's for my blanks and basic tools, new Sub here 👍🏻
Nice grinding. I've used similar grinding jig, though using steel hardware to attach the file (more like old Aaron Gough setup). Tempering with a torch? Give me a break. It is not consistent, and tedious to do for any meaningful amount of time, while electric oven is dirt cheap and provides for proper tempering cycles (which could be hours long).
Making a knife without special tools, but with terrific skills and patience. Nice video.

One of the most fulfilling knive vids. Well done.
Hi. It looks great. What steel did you use in that case? Thanks.
Wow. Like a work of art. You really did make it look deceptively easy. Beautifully done.
Where there is a will, there is a way. The sound of the file eating the raw steel of the blank held in the vise is fascinating...

я перевод твой искал на угад . привет из россии.
very beautiful knife. love the shapes and size.
What type of steel did you use for this very nice well done God bless from Canada eh
Great job and a lot of hard work paid off. I didn’t see any hardening process so wondering if blade will hold an edge for long. Beautiful job.
So to take the hardness out a bit you just looked for the straw color?
It's not the price of the tool, it's the skill of the artist. Lovely work. What are the materials used in the three thin layers you stacked and glued with epoxy between the guard (back quillon) and the wooden handle? What are their purpose? My guess is they are leather, brass, and steel and they are just decorative? Is the guard made of brass?
for me it's the tools
what kind of dimbass has a dremel but doenst even has a hacksaw?

What a beautiful knife. Your filing guide is almost the exact same as mine.
Wonderful.
Thank you for sharing your knife skills brother.
We are in your debt.

what about without powertools? great video aswell!
Time and patience = beautiful product. MOTIVATIONAL!
@edwardknives8692
Classic Design, very beautiful. Nice work!
A very informative video. You didn't heat treat it, was it wet steel? Did you temper with a blowtorch?
Very nice work. Would have been helpful to know the sources of some of your materials. Thanks
Man that's cool. Makes me wanna try my hand at it. Sweet knife
Why wait
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Parabéns Amigo! Ficou linda essa faca! Abraço

It's not the tools, it's the steelworking, handtools usage, basic chemistry, & physics knowledge that makes the difference.
Amazing job with minimal tools.

very very nice my friend 👏👏🌷
All the knife you will ever need for hunting/camping needs. Good as any you can buy and better than most.
Beautiful job. Very well done
Excellent, beautiful knife!
Good Morning Edward… Do you make & Sale knife like this one in 4 or 5 inch blade length, and how much?
Very nice work!

How do you know when the blade is hot enough for the heat treatment? Very nice video!
you look at the colour. When it's cherry red you know it's between 800-900°C, which is the temperature for haderning steel.
Use a magnet. When it no longer pulls on the hot steel, it’s hot enough. Saw that on Forged In Fire.

Best DIY video on youtube, congrats... What is this green stuf for polishing ?
how do you clean you files after filing softer materials like brass or copper? we all know it get more stuck to the files compared to steel

Wondering why you take it from the middle rather than using the top of the steel bar as the top edge of the knife?

What kind of metal strip (the yellow one) you use for the handle?

Really cool. How many hours of work was that?
