- I had received many questions about making a knife with very common tools only - a drill, angle grinder and files, so I made this video for you.

Does anyone else get the feeling "Dang, im going to go make a knife...RIGHT NOW" Excellent work and instructional Trollskyy
Not right this second, but yeah.....makes me wanna hit the workshop lol
+ramprat i'm all out of steel, that feeling sucks xD
I've always wanted to start knife making, but it would really be a drain of money.
+Xero you can sell the knives, some people even do it for a living!
ExplodingScience oh I'm very aware, but having knife making as a mini hobby has somewhat high start up costs. Heck, I don't even have any power tools!
Well, I've watched about 1000 hours of video on knife making with this stock removal method. I've watched kids that looked like they rushed through many important parts and I've seen some "experienced" people make really elaborate knives with their very expensive shop tools. I always felt like I was missing something important and would often have to pause and review. The verdict is that the easiest guy to understand is the big guy who's primary language isnt even English! Trollsky, you have a natural timing and intuition that makes a beginner feel confident. (Reminds me of my first girlfriend....but thats totally different, I promise) Seriously though, thanks to you, I will try making my first knife in a couple weeks. If I am successful, I will have something that looks like the knife in this video except with a belt ground bevel and maybe some ridges on the spine for thumb control. After that I'll try some leaner bushcraft knives and eventually...well, I'll just focus on the first one for now. Baby steps..Thanks so much for the lessons! I will continue to watch for updates and rewatch as I learn how to perfect my skills.
thanks !
Trollskyy the most experienced people are the ones who keep it simple
That is exactly how I felt. I did hours of research and multiple videos on how to do this. Yet your videos I kept returning to because of how well you go over every detail. Very nice work trollskyy and thanks!
Trollskyy Hey Trollskyy! Im making a knife atm and the next step is to heat treat it, does it work if i heat it up in our fireplace (when the burnt wood becomes glowing orange) and have air blow trough it? And also, does it work to cool the blade down using just normal water or do i have to use some type of oil? I would be greatful for a answer, thanks! :)
Adam Lundmark It has to reach a temp. of about 800 Celsius, so you might need an air source for your fireplace. Trollsky explains that you CAN reach these temperatures in a regular barbecue, just make sure you use wood CHARCOAL, as this'll get you there. More often than not cheap bricks of reconstituted woodmass for barbecueing won't get you to 800 Celsius.
The reason for oil is that the cooling of the blade will be even in oil. Using water will make the cooling uneven because of the faster evaporation of water compared to oil(s). Any type of vegetable oil will do.
If you mess around with used machine oil or mineral oils you'll get all kinds of wonky chemical reactions to the heat of the blade plus uneven blackening. I use rapeseed-oil for cooling and blackening, it's cheap and doesn't make my workshop smell like Don's Dodgy Kebabshop.
I've watched many knife making videos and this guy by far shows the best simplist methods of making one

Thank you for posting your videos! I'm a fan of your work and i appreciate you taking the time to educate those who want to learn, like myself. Keep posting and thanks again.
Trollsky is the absolute best!
I have made many knives. But this video was my teacher. Thank You so much. The best teacher that I ever had.
thank you trollskyy for your dedication and willingness to share we all appreciate you and your positive attitude.
What sort of ventilation do you have for fire's exhaust? Also, what address do we send beer to?
I just wanna say that you are a wonderful person for sharing your skills and your excitement about knife making. This was such a raw, simple process that produced a beautiful knife. Well done! :)
I love the methods you use to make knives. seeing it done in a more primitive way is refreshing. you don't see too many people using basic tools for knife making anymore. I've made quite a few knives out of old hand files and they always seem to be much better than the knives I used to buy at the store.
Inspiring...the best tutorial i've found on here..Thanks.
I think this is a good tutorial overall. Simple tools simple narration, great for beginners. But some mature things are left out. So here is some important notes I think should have been included in the video:
- Most of the spring steel you are going to find are hardened. It would be good to mention and show the annealing process. Filing hardened steel dulls files fast and takes too much time.
- Grinding the knife bevel is the hardest part. It would be more clear if some extra instructions were given on keeping the bevel flat, even and in right angle.
- Some words and advice on hardening process and temperature could be very useful for all.
- Many people might have big problems drilling straight hole through both tang and the handle scales. Showing this process helps a lot.
- The actual sharpening process wasn't shown in the video.
Loved the video. Maybe one of these days I will try this.
I am so glad I stumbled onto your videos!! I thank you for your patience with filming and explaining the process, your channel is a world of knowledge..!
I'm a huge fan of your channel, my friend... I've watched all of your knife making videos, and most of them more than once. Excellent work from a natural teacher. Thank you for all that you do, Sir.
I love the videos man great job . and I love ur accent it's really cool. keep up all the great work !
Thank you for this tutorial. It is very usefull. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your video. I have watched quite a few of videos on making knives and have decided I am going to use this video for my first try.
Trollsky, first of all you are awesome. I love the knives you make and how you make them. A few years ago my mother was diagnosed with a pretty serious cancer that was in the final stages. So to keep my mind off of my mother being in such pain and agony, I started watching your channel and started to learn how to make knives. I got pretty good At making them but they are nowhere close to the quality and beauty of the ones you produce. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos the good work and great knives. But most of all I'd like to say thank you for allowing me to have a place to escape to when my mother was in such pain and agony. Because of that, I feel as though I owe something more than just a thank you. If it had not been for you, your channel, and your knives, I likely would've gone off the deep end. Watching your videos gave me the opportunity to get my mind off of all the terrible things that were happening to my mother. I would love nothing more than to travel to you and just shake your had and say thanks. Once again, thank you for what you do and what you did for me. Thank you and God Bless.

I am really sad becouse of what happend to your Mother :( You are a strong men. Best wishes to you !
loved your work man, I liked the part when you said: "maybe, it's not the most beautiful custom knife, but is ours".. nice quote. I'll let you know when I do my own.. greetings from Argentina.
A good project knife with a nice choice of wood for the handle, nice effort :-)
out of all the knife makers on youtube you are my favorite ...love the knifes you make keep up the awesome work
Thank you for the video, I might give this a try. I had been worried about how much it would cost to get into making knives, mostly the heat treating, but you make it look pretty easy!
Bardzo lubię ogladać Twoje filmy. Są inspirujące. Sam robię noże, głównie ze starych pił tarczowych. Co prawda nie mogę się poszczycić takim kunsztem jak Twój, ale ciągle próbuję. Największy problem mam z hartowaniem stali. Do tej pory używałem pieca CO (wiem - amatorka) i piekarnika (żona do tej pory nie może mi wybaczyć "żelazistego" posmaku zapiekanek :). Dziękuje za ten i pozostałe filmy. Są motywacją do kolejnych prób i uzasadnieniem dziwnego (dla większości moich znajomych) hobby. Pozdrawiam.
miło słyszec :)
Man you're good,I like every video)you have real talent?with a minimum of tools make wonderful knives))to continue in the same spirit)))
Thank you for making this video. You are truly an artist and a master of your craft.
I love how you work with very few tools to make your knives...I often have to make due with what I have available and you prove that beautiful items are not difficult to make...thank you for sharing your skills...so far I have only tried my hand at putting new scales on old knives, but my friend has a forge and I plan on making some knives myself in the future...you really show how simple it can be....thank you again!
Great Job.How long must the knife be in the fire?
Great video - Everything seems very doable, except the furnace for heat treating the blade. Do you have tips on making your own? - Or a suitable place to buy one for cheap. Thanks!
Magnus W I got an old fire pit I keep full of coal. I don't even have the airflow from underneath if you build a fire right you can just blow the air in from the top to reach the same results. I use an old pool inflation air pump hooked up to a car battery charger. It's no pretty but it's all I got and seems to work good. Hope that helps.
+Michael Fisher Thanks mate. I really appreciate that! I'm looking at doing something pretty similar to that.
Ive seen it done with a domestic bbq. You just need to drill a hole in the side, and connect some 3-4 inch pipe, then connect a hair dryer on the end. There are a tonne of youtube vids about it. Alternatively, get yourself a map-gas/propane torch, and make a little micro forge out a large can lined with refractory cement. Drill a hole in the side and use that for the torch nozzle. There are a tonne of vids about that too.
Im currently making one out of an old fire extinguisher, which Im lining with furnace cement. Most propane torches easily kick out enough heat, the issue is containing it..... the hotter the knife gets the more it radiates the heat, so that last 100 degrees can be difficult to reach. Good luck mate.
(edit ... definitely get some PPE, like some welders gloves, a leather apron, face protection. Also get non-water fire extinguisher. You cant be too careful)
What a craftsman!!! Excellent vid Trollskyy.
You do amazing work Trollskyy! Thank you for sharing.
This is so helpful, thank you. I notice you did not peen the pins. Is peening not needed? I'm planning to make my first knife very soon.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it. Do you ever use boiled linseed oil for the blade handle? It is probably the same/similar to the oil you are using "Danish Oil" I think you said. Anyway, you are an inspiration to any budding blade smiths.
+Shona O'Neill yes, I have tried it a few times. This is a good way to make a wood waterproof :)
You are a true artist my friend!!! Absolutely AMAZING work ive seen!! Love the Celtic knife with the anvil holder!
Thank you. You are an artist. I have watched many of your videos. I have just started forging knives myself and you have been very helpful. I too enjoy making something out of scrap. Thanks for explaining your steps so well. Keep it up, you are inspiring others.
this one got new owner :)
Bratan... nu ty v nature prikalyvaeshsia? Ne u vseh est celaja masterskaja s pechju. Basic tools - A FUKKEN FORGE. Bro basic means BASIC, like at home in your shed or garage. I know lots of pros out there will start sh!ting angry bricks because of this comment, but BREAKING NEWS: Some people don't have forges and entire workshop at home. Just BASIC TOOLS. Like hammer, grinder, drill, file, pincers and your run of the mill 80pcs tool box and a worktable with a small vice.
7:01 gut knife fade
Hampus Gans them csgo fans xD
I would like to say thanks I have watched a heap of your videos here on YT and have learnt. cheers mike
once again thanks for the video I have been making knives for a bit now and I love seeing all the ways people do their knives
Remind me to never piss you off.
If you want to start your fire quicker use Dorito chips. Great tinder.
but expensive... i use dry birch bark, its even better :)
Ranch or nacho flavor?
Berna La i like your thinking food before fire
Great little knife with basic tools. Thanks for the video Trollskyy
Sir big thanks so anyone realize building knives isn't just for the rich .
Your skills are some of the best and almost all your designs are what gets me dreaming.
I have a coin my Father's while in ww2 were station outside of Berlin had met a Russian soldier who they had traded coins with. He had bad memories of the ww2 experience but believe that meeting with the soldier gave him a good memorie that helps.
Love all your video and your dog is the " best "
Thanks for helping me improve Sir.
A file only cuts on the forward stroke!!! Every time you slide it back and forth, you dull the file teeth
I beg the differ, if You buy a proper file that won't happen for at least year.
Trollsky poland?
yes
Loved the video and your take on things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the video series. I never thought about trying knife making until I watched your videos. I may have to try this project for myself. Please keep up the great work!
where can i get that shirt
i'm an alcoholic, encase of emergency, buy me a beer
I cant tell if this guy is Russian, or Irish. He's got the thickest russian accent I've ever heard, but he has celtic knots tattooed on his arm.
He is Polish if I'm not mistaken.

Hes Polish

i love your videos, and your concise, step-by-step advice. well done, sir.
I really appreciate seeing that I'm not the only one using basic tools to make my knives. I use a 3 x 18 belt sander, Dremel Rotary Tool, a drill, and file for mine. Thanks Trollskyy! Keep the videos coming!
this is the best knife making video on the internet.
Thank you , this is the best tutorial that I have come across so far.

Videos are great in my opinion and really helpful - thank you for sharing!
Trollskyy is a knife making GOD, i love this guy, i have too much time on my hands so i think a new bunch of tools will be getting purchased, i really need a good big strong bushcraft knife and this looks like the only way to get what i want and still be left with the tools to make many more, you are very good at making the videos and give good advice, thanks
I love how you put so much effort in to your work!!!!!!!!!
I used your method but used and old 10 inch circular sawblade and it came out great made a sheath too, you're a great motivation keep up the good work.

Thank you for the excellent video. That knife is a true piece of art. I look forward to more videos.
Awesome knives and great videos too! Thank you for sharing them with us. I have really enjoyed watching and re-watching all of them. I hope to make one soon using your methods.
I have 2 projects on my mind - chopper from jeep's spring leaf and very budget knife with blade from Mora company :)
This is a great video! and I like to see a man who isn't scared to get his hands dirty!
Many thanks Trollskyy
Great work and many thanks for showing how to do this. Love it. Will use some of your techniques. Best to you and thanks again for the cool pics and example. Trollskyy Rocks.
Jesteś świetny. Zainspirowałeś mnie do wytworzenia własnego noża. Dziękuje. Ide do warsztatu :D
Great video. Thank you Trollskyy!
very nice and simple enough for anyone to do it. before I got my forge I used to make knives and machetes this way. still have and use many of them today
Great vid as usual thanks for taking the time to show me how it's done with simple tools might be a while before I can afford anything fancy.
This knive is so fantastic!! I love your videos!!
i like your positive attitude and your overall oulook on knife making. Really enjoyed this video and your others.
Awesome video, good job on the knives you make. I will use this one as a guide for my first knife.
I think I just learned more in this one video than I have in all others I have watched combined. Thank you for such an informational video sir.
Trollskyy is a humble man. He says he's a hobbyist, but I guess he can compete with the best knifemakers all around. He makes beautiful pieces, both strong and elegant. And he makes lots of them. One can tell he is passionate about steel and knives.
Very informative. You make it look so easy. you are truly an artist. The heat treating is what I really enjoyed seeing. Many thanks.
Regards
Thank you very much for making these videos my friend, they are the best on youtube.
Very well done! You are an inspiration.
This is a brilliant video mate...I'm totally inspired to get out there and make a knife myself.
Thank you very much for this instructional, you do some great work.
amazing how you make it look easy ...... your a true master my friend. Blessings to you and your family !!
