Handmade: 1200 Year Old Bog Oak Chef Knife
Process of making a chef knife and wood saya from a single piece of 1200 year old bog oak. The blade is made out of 26C3 carbon steel. I use this steel because it allows me to achieve a hamon blade finish. I decided to use a large piece of bog oak so that the wood grain matches the saya. After the saya is chiseled out, glued up and shaped I finish by making a retention pin. This pin is made from a piece of brass and bog oak and is used to hold the blade in the sheath.
This knife is currently available on my website.

Handmade: Canvas Micarta Lanyard Bead
Переглядів 8402 місяці тому
In this video I show the process of making a small lanyard bead out of a composit material (canvas micarta) using a mini lathe to do most of the finer shaping and finishing. I attach these beads to my smaller knives to give an extra place to grip on the handle and for style points. I currently have a couple finished beads made from various materials available on my Etsy page www.etsy.com/shop/H...
Handmade: My First Dagger
Переглядів 10 тис.2 місяці тому
First time making a dagger. This was a tricky build because I had to keep everything very symmetrical. This dagger will be carried as a boot knife so I also made a clip on sheath. I used 80CrV2 carbon steel for the blade. Stabilized walnut, maple burl, brass pins and canvas micarta liners for the handle. This was a custom order build, if you would like to have something custom made check out my...
Handmade: Chef Knife with a Hamon
Переглядів 3,6 тис.4 місяці тому
In this video I make a chefs knife out of 26C3 carbon steel. I differentially heat treat the blade to get a hamon which I then etch and polish for better contrast. The handle is a piece of dyed and stabilized maple burl with big 8mm aluminum pins. I finish by making a leather sheath/blade cover. This knife is currently available on my website.

Thank you!
As always Bro... Love ya work!
Appreciate it!
Awesome build bro!!! I really like the long video! What type of steel did you use?
Thanks! I used 26C3.
@@HelixKnives nice!
All the juggalos rushing all the stores for that bad boiiiii
Juggalos you say... I am not sure if I should be excited or concerned with this new interest from the ICP.
Such perfection 😢
Thanks
Aloha, can anyone give me a link to order one .Mahalo
Hi, you can make a custom order for one on my website www.helixknives.com/customorder
Aloha, do you use Bored paracord on your lanyards? Usa made in Georgia. Best I've used.
I am not sure where it is made but it's a good quality 550 paracord. If you are interested in beads you can check them out here www.etsy.com/shop/HelixKnives
I see what you mean..... But..... Your work is fantastic, and the feedback you get is testament.
Thank you, everyone seems happy with my work and that's awesome.
dude sweet knife
Thanks
This is very nice and not using a lot of weird tools. Didn't you want to use water to shape it a bit more to the blade?
Yup, a lot of the tools that I still use are from a cheapo leatherworking kit that I got when I started. On this model I couldn't do much wet forming because the leather was thicker where the snap is and wouldn't move much.
I love how you didn't start on one of the seams and cheat. That's f****** badass.
They got to be sharp for real, them's the rules 😁 Thank you!
Congrats❤❤❤ real monster
Thanks
Good job .bad ass knife
Thank you.
Hey there! Is it permanent or just for showing the grain on the handles for just w couple of minutes?
They don't look as wet and shiny after finishing but they do keep the color. Check out one of my full build videos to see the final result.
👏👏👏
👏👏👏🧿💥
Amazing video! Why do you heartbeat the knife for 2 times ?
heatreat
First I do the normalizing heats and then after I clean the scale off and apply the clay I do the final heat for quenching.
I bought this knife. You did some wonderful work. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch. You also put a hella good edge on this one. I'm really enjoying carrying it every day.
Thank you very much for your support and I am glad to hear that you are happy with it.
You could lightly drag it on a pieace of hard wood or Cork to eliminate the wire edge? Btw how did you produce it?
I finish by using a leather strop, that gets rid of the wire edge. It happens naturally when sharpening. This is a more extreme case because the straight razor is hollow ground and super thin so it produces a very big wire edge.

Dope AF results, @HelixKnives! This would fit right in at a high-end sporting goods catalog/retailer!
Thank you! Damn sure would, if you got any high-end contacts let me know 😁
Beautiful
Thanks

Quedó bellísima 👍👍👍😍
Another masterpiece
Thanks
Work of art!
super boulo je like
Leather sheathe with a clip is such a boss move! I wish more people did this. I generally carry IWB and clips are better for that than belt loops. Well done sir!
Thanks. I do clip on sheaths for most of my smaller knives for inside the pocket carry. This one is a boot carry style.
Niiice!!!! I have seen other works you've made and they're all beautiful! Thank you for the video, and have a blessed day 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice custom job. Well done.
Thanks.
Quality craftsmanship.
Damn straight.
What kind of wood did you use for the handle scales?
Stabilized maple burl and stabilized walnut burl.
That’s amazing!! How do you get a clean handle glue up with textured metal like that?
Thanks! I taught this would be a problem as well, but I just clamped the scales on tight when I did my glue up and had no problems. The marks are not super deep and the epoxy will fill any small holes at the area where the handle and blade meet.
i really like your makers mark, where did you get it made? great build btw!!!
ACuriousCreator on Etsy made the vinyl stickers for me. Thanks.
@@HelixKnives are his vinyls reusable?
No, but this is a way cheaper option than one of those plastic stencils an it gives great results.

That’s really nice I’ll subscribe 👍
Appreciate it, thanks!
Nice work dude 👏👏
Thanks
show!, aceito presente, kkk
I really need a belt sander, wpuld make some tasks alot easier, im still on my first knife, actually im making 2 blades but waiting for my propane furnace so I can heat treat them. But i only have a angle grinder and drill press as for power tools
I started with a makeshift filing jig to do my blade bevels and I heat treated the first 3 blades in a barbeque grill with coal and a hairdryer blower. A belt grinder is a very good investment I do the majority of blade and handle shaping on it. If you want crisp bevel lines you can try hogging off material with the angle grinder and then using a filing jig to file a crisp bevel line. @GoughCustom has a video on how to make a filing jig.
@@HelixKnives atm i start with the angle grinder and carefully make the bevels and then I use normal files to finish it. I only have a gas grill so I would need a fire pit to use coal and hairdryer
Great looking dagger, well done.
Thanks.
Great job
Very very nice !!!
Thank you!
Holy cow!!! That came out beautiful! Had you practiced on one before? I drew a beautiful fantasy dagger. It's been there for about a year because I'm too scared to make one. Hopefully with the more knives I make I'll work up the courage. I was already asking myself when you were going to make your next video 😂 beautiful work and I really love the way you make your handles 😊 can't wait for the next one and may you and your loved ones have a blessed day.
Thank you very much! I did practice grinding the blade bevel on a piece of mild steel. That was the main thing I wanted to figure out, because it has to be really symmetrical.
@HelixKnives awesome! I have some mild steel somewhere 😆 I'm a hamone freak...I kind of pretty messed up the knife I just made. I have 2 hamon lines now and the one nearest the sharp edge is really pronounced...
@@christobaliancantu7112I really like doing hamons as well. Still haven’t totally figured them out but it’s always nice when you get a good one.
As always... Love your work Brother!
Thank you!
what Rockwell hardness the steel has?
60-61.
wow
