I enjoy carving and spoons are always a fun project. Here is an inexpensive way to make your own spoon knife at home using a few tools. Thanks for watching and please leave me a comment in the section below!
Thanks James Bender MacGyver! When is the next Stanley Adventure 2 cup system hack? 😁 I’ve watched the whole series and rewatched them again. Can’t get enough of your hacks, Mr. James Bender Stanley Hacker.
Right on.....I always wondered what a person could use to carve their own wooden spoon without having to purchase special tools to do it. High 5 my friend.🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
Thank you so much!
That's a really great idea! About 15 years ago, I spent a LOT of money on a 52 piece master hand carving set: then realized that I had no idea what each tool was for lol. It even came in a beautiful leather roll, I ended up giving it to someone who knew how to use it, and I don't regret it, because sometimes knowing that you made the tool and used it properly, is far more rewarding! Thanks for the great video! Stay safe out there and God bless!
Thank you so much! God bless you too!

Best bushcrafting channel on TH-cam! Good video 👍🏼
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it!
Another great hac lol you may have covered this before but how do you have your kansbol slung over your shoulder I like that carry
Thank you. I made a video on it: Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/7VFV4IrPcgY/w-d-xo.html The Mora Kansbol section starts at about 4:28. The rest of it is how to carry a standard Mora in a cross draw fashion.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great idea. I’m making me one soon
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it!
Is it best to use wet green wood or dry on ground? Is there a problem with splitting?
It's always best to use greenwood for carving a spoon. The reason is, that dry wood is much harder to carve.
Neat idea James. I already own a couple hook knives from Mora. But this is a nice alternative for getting started.
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks!
very cool. I might consider grinding down the point of the knife, but otherwise a very cool hack.
Thank you!
I often find high carbon steel knives of various sizes at flea markets for one dollar or less each. Do you think that spoon-knives made from high carbon steel might hold a better edge & perform better? Thanks, & may God bless you.
Yes, they would definitely work and perform better.
Seriously though, how many of those cheap ass knives did you break trying to do this video?
Not a one.
Hey James if you haven't got a blow torch would a regular fire also work something i might try
Probably not. The fire would melt the handle and it would be hard to get it hot enough. If you did that, you might have to put another handle on it. The torch is able to get it up to heat quickly, that's why it's the best option. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend!
Why not just buy a spoon when you bought the knifes at walmart??? LOL
Right? Thank you for watching and commenting!
Interesting now that's one I gotta try I've got a pair of hoof knifes I'd been thinking about changing the shape of ....🤔
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Of course, it's not the best for the heat treat/temper but for a spoon knife it works well enough. It will, however, work especially well if you are using a simple carbon steel.
Wouldn't this ruin the temper?
That's why you re-temper it in water.
I was going to say why not just buy the hook knife if you have to buy the torch then I remembered you saying this video is for those of you who like to make things.
I actually own several hook knives, but as you said this is for people who like to make things. It's also for folks who have the tools to make it and maybe don't have the money to buy one. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!
This is the one time sumthing is so hard to find and the internet prices are so ridiculous that it is beter to grab a blow torch and pliers
Right?
its pretty brittle at this stage. Probably needs tempering
Actually, they seem to be pretty tough as they are. We've used them quite a bit and not had any breakage.
Dam nice , thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great video brother
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Nice. Great idea!
Thanks!
I know what I will be doing this evening while enjoying a cigar. Just one question though, what kind of wood this best for the spoon, green or dry? I would assume dry but I've never made a screen before.
Green wood is easiest to carve, but it may crack when it dries although I've never had one do it. I would stay with green for your first time. Good question and thank you for watching!
Hi James what a great idea and so well executed. Thanks for sharing and keep the ideas coming. ATB. Nigel
Thank you my friend!
Very nice, James! I love it...thanks friend! Stay safe and God bless 🙏🇺🇸
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and God bless you too!
Du nutzt auch Mora Messer 👍
Sehr gute Idee 👍👍
Thanks!
Great thinking once again. Thanks for the video brother. I look forward to seeing something on the milk carton one day. Or hearing. ;-)
Thanks! I appreciate the ideas!
I guess it works. Never saw a curve knife with a regular knife edge. Usually it's flat on the oneside of the edge and angled on the other. Pretty cool that it works.
Thank you!
Excellent idea! Thanks! One thought I had is how effective would it be to use the second biggest knife as a curve knife to carve the inside of a bowl?
Yes, that would be a great use for it!
Wow! That is the most budget friendly diy spoon knife make I have ever seen. Using the premade knife really cuts down on the work. Great idea!
Thank you!
Great idea! Thank's for showing. ;)
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Awesome idea. I’m going to have to try it. Would it be better to cool it in used motor oil?
Possibly, but it's a cheap stainless and I have done quite a few of these in water with no problem. Thanks for watching. Good question!
Good idea bro. Not too shabby! I like to carve
Thank you my friend!
Another great video! something we all can do!! Blessings to you and your family!
Thanks so much, You too!
Neat idea 🔥👍
Thank you!
I like that idea. I will have to try one f these. Thanks and take care.
Thank you! And you have a good one as well!
Did you sub to me and if you did thank you and I subscribed to you
Great idea I will give it a try. Thanks
Thank you, my friend!
Pure genius thank you sir
Thanks for watching!
Well that's really cool!
Thank you!
Very clever, James!
Thank you!
Nice one man. Uncle Stanley sent me.
Thank you and thank Uncle Stanley...
Why is it pixilating
I had some early software issues.
@@WayPointSurvival oh ok. Sorry. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I saw what was happening lol
Great job brother.
Thank you, Chief, much appreciated!
Great idea James
Thank you!
No tempering or sharpening after the quench? Without those steps I expect a brittle, dull knife shaped object.
Well, it's certainly not the perfect solution. But, it does work and allows you to carve a spoon rather cheaply. And, being that it's stainless steel it's not even the proper heating or quenching technique. But, again, it does work. And, it is still rather sharp even without additional sharpening.
Nice idea
Thanks!
