- How to make a Celtic Cleaver Knife with easy Etched Blade and Spine. This is an easy DIY knife making project. We started with a waterjet cut knife blank. These blanks are available on DIYeasycrafts.com The knife was designed with a Celtic pattern etched into the blade and a very detailed rope etching on the spine. Self adhesive vinyl decals were cut using a craft cutting machine and then the Celtic designs were etched into the high carbon steel using a very simple process and a 12 volt battery charger.
This is an Easy DIY knife making project the blade etching techniques can also be used on a variety of other knife making projects.
Check out this link to order the 1095 high carbon knife blank which we used to create this Celtic Cleaver www.diyeasycrafts.com/diy-knif...

Both a teacher and an artist... great mix of skills. And you can always tell a real pro, 'cuz they're the ones who make it look so _easy._ ... thx much!
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely beautiful!! I am loving that design, and the over all look id fantastic. I love Celtic designs anyway, but on that knife, wow.
Looks really good,thanks for sharing
OMG this is insane. The etching alone! Great stuff!
very nice look, I have no idea that one could get results like that with a simple technique, thank you for sharing and adding a million more ideas for blades I need to make. great stuff
Darn good looking blade. I love it!
love this so much xx And the spine design is such a great alternative to file work AND LOOKS BRILLIANT Thanks for the idea
The spine etching is easy to do and creates great results. Have done it a few times with different designs. Here is a link if you want to try it. www.diyeasycrafts.com/diy-knife-spine-file-work.html
That's a nice piece. Thank You for posting it.
The diy theme, is marvelous. I made some blades long before there was any info. I used oil to quench. Mahogany was my grips. cheers!
Cool, thanks for sharing your plethora of knowledge you have acquired.
Beautiful job .....Thanks for sharing!
Man, I love it! Very cool!
Very helpful. Thank you for the video.

Being a 100% Celtic Man by birth and heritage myself I would be proud to use that lovely Celtic clever.
Thank you Sir!!! They are for sale if interested
Phenomenal piece of work on the finish! Thanks for the great tutorial as well on the process
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks a lot like a scramasax. Also known as simply sax or seax. Beautiful work
Love it!
I could close my eyes and listen to the video and clearly tell that you aren't a bladesmith. Not a bad learning experience for you though. 👍 keep it up!
A very beautiful blade well done sir😊
Nice job on the Cleaver.
Pretty awesome!
Oh yeah really nice job
Pretty knife, well done
Awesome job man
Oh man I would love to do this, it seems much quicker than acid etching and much darker. This seems to be better for designed versus damascus
looks good !!
Beautiful..
cool cleaver I like it.
terima kasih banyak, sdah berbagi ilmu,.. semoga berkah Tuhan selalu bersamamu
amazing work
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Great channel just found it . Very clear and concise with good tips , subbed :-)
looks beautiful and your voice is great for vids :)
Fantastico 👏
I have made some saxes. The blade is similar to this and can be from 6"-8" up to 18". I don't do the very nice scroll work though
Very impressive
Amazing
V nice & wonderful 👍🌹
Thank you so much
Wonderfull
Could you use Electrical Tape around the border edges to save your vinyl ?
Great looking Cleaver by the way!
Yes absolutely
Very good techniques and advice! Do you think it would work on the side of a cast iron Smoothing plane, something like a Stanley no 4 ?
By the way I'm looking into purchasing some blanks but I would like to get the grinder seems that makes it makes it easier to grind love your vids keep up the good work hope to hear from you soon
It's a beautiful piece of art, but my eye caught a missing detail on the right side of the blade. Did the vinyl came of while you were etching?
I was half way thru your video.. and because you are a great presenter and instructor.. I subscribed.. Awesome Job!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Thank you so much for the feedback. Really appreciate it!!!
Do you sell the vinyl stencils??
I sell the cleaver blanks www.diyeasycrafts.com/diy-knife-modified-cleaver.html
Have not made up any stencils for sale but Im sure we could work something out. pvt msg me. Or join my on my facebook group Knives and knife making
The e-mail on your site isn't working I'm getting an error message when i hit the send button...
Email me direct at wreckvalle@aol.com
at 2 amps should probably wear rubber gloves while etching for extra safety. great looking cleaver. nice adation to any kitchen
It's really fascinating to learn how to make knives from Woody Allen.
Very funny !!!
nice insperation
Hardening just the blade edge bevel region is called "decremental hardening" and it can have a smooth gradient in hardness or, for the older type called "through hardening", a sudden step in hardness at the joint of edge and back. Face-hardened battleship side armor was of these forms, depending on the armor type and time period of the ship from 1891 through just after WWII.
Your etching in DC? how come the etching you do becomes black/dark? When I do that it all stay metal color.
Wow the cleaver came out looking good. I think I might order a drop point blank from your site and attempt to make my first knife. I just need a few more tools and I'll be ready.
Thank you.. Excellent choice. For a first knife you may want to try the skinner. The Drop point is a big heavy blade and requires a decent amount of grinding.
DIYeasycrafts You're totally right. Better to start off small and work my way up. I'll probably do that and get the Skinner for my first knife then later on when I get my skills up get the drop point. I'll be buying the blanks soon. Love watching your videos. Keep it up!!!
ALOHA!!!
DIYeasycrafts So i was looking on your site just now at the knife blanks and seen there is a typo in the measurement description. It said 3/16 "think" instead of 3/16 thick. Just wanted to let you know.
ALOHA!!!
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!. Just made the corrections
DIYeasycrafts Your welcome!!!
ALOHA!!!!
Nice video! What is your salt to water ratio?
Can you use anything other than vinyl to cover the blade?
Wow nice job how many cost this knifie me buy it
Where can I get a type of Grinder like that your knife grinder you sell those yourself or no
I would love a antler handeled knife
Me to. never tried to work with antler scales
you didn't mention the brass piece at the base of the blade, how did you go about making that piece?
What vinyl cutter do you use?
Hi the knife is mega ...... may I ask what dimensions it has LxWxH....... Greetings from Germany
great cleaver! Can you show more in depth how you make your vinyl stencils?
Thank you!! I covered making the decals on a separate video. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
DIYeasycrafts ... Thank you so much!
My Combonation Of Describing In A ONE Weapon Is 2 Handed Meat Cleaver,Bowie Knife,AXE,WarSword Full Tang....
Hi,yes the same as in your video please.👍👍
Great video and that looks amazing! Would electrical tape work as good as the vinyl tape?
Tape will work but not quite as good as self adhesive vinyl.
@@DIYeasycrafts ok good to know, thanks for the reply
Hi Thank you very much for the tutorial :)
I would like to know how you made your design and cut it on the transfer sticker? I guess you use a special printer? Could you please provide more tips? thanks
I make them with a Silhouette Cameo craft vinyl cutting machine. Here is a how-to video I did on the vinyl cutting and metal etching ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
great work, I wish I had the Skill and ability to build one just like it. being a 100% disabled veteran with 16 years service, as well as having lost four-fingers on my left hand, and severe burns on my legs make owning such fine blades, axes and especially Damascus knives. I don't have the dexterity I once had with my hands, and due to the skin grafts/burn scar's inability to handle high temperatures very well at all, would really make it hard to hard to build this knife, which is really too bad. and as a veteran, we don't get paid nearly enough to purchase anything more than a very cheap "worthless" knife, which is sad! oh well...
#1 Thank you for your service. Im always more than happy to provide discount to our vetrans. Just pvt msg me with proof of service and Im sure we will be able to work something out.
Thank you for your offer! Proof of service is easy... Just an emailed copy of one of my DD-214's covers that. but the hard part, Money. Sadly Money is extremely tight for this whole year (it was a very cold winter and costly winter here in Wisconsin) which will greatly limit the number of written product reviews I'll do this year as well on weaponeer.net (I own it, or maybe it owns me lol.) Question: Have you ever considered building ROCKER KNIVES? They are extremely useful with a half-circle like "blade shape" and a comfortable wood handle on the top. Some people like them just for chopping Vegetables, but partial hand Amputee's, and stroke victims and others who have a hard time using a fork and knife at the same time, (for one reason or another). after the injury to my hand, I started using them, and they are a great tool. Heck, I even use mine, (which is fairly small) to cut up Pizza slices, or even Steak (when I was able to afford one) lol. I think it would be a great DIY project, especially if it was made from Damascus steel. Just a Thought... lol
Beautiful!
What do you set the battery charger to??
12 volts 2 amps
Thank you
very very good work i want know how to make the sticker
I cut out the vinyl on a craft vinyl cutting machine. Check out this how to video I did a few months back ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
Im learning to do mi own knifes.One question, after you quenche your knife....did you heat it on the stove at 400 F?
Two tempering cycles. 375 x 2hrs and let it cool overnight w/o opening stove door
how deep is the finished etch ? is it something you can feel running a fingernail over or not at all ?
It a very deep etch and yes you can catch your fingernail on it.
How do you mix your salt water solution? Ratios?
I really dont. I just add a few tablespoons and use hot water
Do you sell one of these?? Kinda liked these.
Yes, I can make you a similar Cleaver for $200+p&h
DIYeasycrafts find out what the post and handling will be to send it to Norway.
6:50 - I've done this myself, inside, and upon googling it I found that this process makes a little bit of chlorine gas. I.e. = poison. Having a fumehood would be a safer addition.
Yikes! That’s good to know. Definitely reinforces having good ventilation 👍
How much do you charge for one of those? Beautiful work.
bergknifemaking.com/collections/hand-crafted-knives/products/custom-hand-made-celtic-cleaver-full-tang-with-walnut-handles
A small bit of the celtic design is missing ,guess the vinyl fell off or was missing. Nice cleaver :)
I expected to see tons of OCD comments about that. Instead it was just everyone asking to buy it. I noticed the missing bit immediately and was screaming a little on the inside when he started etching that part. 🤷♂️
hi i wonder... is it water or battery acid you are useing to etch ?? :D real nice cleaver
Salt ware and car battery charger. Its called electro etching. Check out this how to video ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
thx man :D
I saw at the end of the finish product there’s a brass spacer in between the knife and handle ? I didn’t see that as part of the video?
I know the videos tend to get a bit long if I include every part of the build. I did however just make a seperate video on the brass bolsters ua-cam.com/video/eS8ulXL8jdc/v-deo.html
DIYeasycrafts can’t wait to see it. Again nice job
Do you have a link to the emery cloth? just so I get right type and all.
No just went to home depot
Ok going to try this all out you see. You inspired me.
Best of luck. Msg me if you have any questions
Can this one be used? www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-50-10-2-Amp-Manual-Starter-Charger/21642130 or do I need the one you have SE-1275A?? Only thing I see different is the one you have have a button to select SLI and deep cycle, do that matter?
What kind of acid do you use? I miss this information. Thanks for your answer.
I do not use acid. Only salt water and a 12 volt battery charger. Check out this short how to video ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
Thanks that means, it is very simple NaCl (salt).
is it possible to etch the blade with a dremel rotary tool?
engrave i mean.
Oscillating sander? Isn't that an orbital sander? 3:58
yup
For how much does this cleaver retail? Do you have an Etsy shop or a shop where you sell crafts? Do you take custom orders for special creations?
Cheers! In awe of your craftsmanship
This one was made as a gift. No store but I do take custom orders. A similar knife to this would be $200 + P&H. Thanks for the positive feedback
$125-$500+. Just depends on the type of steel, heat treating process, fit and finish, etc. I didn't see any pieces for sale on his site but I would guess $175-$300.
Right on the money! The blanks are $34.95. Custom cleaver like this one would be $200
How did you make the vinyl sticker?
ua-cam.com/video/9OWPbXUVDEQ/v-deo.html
Were can i purchase 2 of these
Just pvt msg me or email wreckvalle@aol.com
Knives are made to order each has a 3-4 wk lead time. A blade very similar to this with the same Celtic etching would be $200+p&h
Would you make one foe sale ?if so how much
Yes in fact Im finishing up one now. Will post it on my ETSY online shop in the next couple of days. www.etsy.com/shop/DIYeasycrafts?ref=l2-shopheader-name
Did you sell this piece?
That one was sold. I do have another just like it which is almost finished. Only difference is it will have walnut scales. $250+p&h
Water cutting high carbon steel - why didn't I think of that???
Yes l would love you to make me one. I will use PayPal if that is ok with you👍👍👍
Absolutely, lead time is about 4 wks. I think walnut might look nice for scales. Also let me know if you want the same design.
paypal to wreckvalle@aol.com

Holly Crap Is this Woody Allen?
You really should be careful etching with a sodium chloride solution, you might produce harmful amounts of chlorine gas by electrolysis (depends on your anode and cathode material.) You most certainly get hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable. I wouldn't recommend doing this indoors without a fumehood.
Using gloves is also advised as the electrolysis produces harmful and possibly corrosive compounds such as ferric chloride or sodium hydroxide.
You might want to use a different salt without chloride or just an acid for etching. The chemistry totally depends on your electrodes and power supply. It's not certain which gasses form when your anode and cathode are so close together (chlorine might just react with your metal.)
Gr8t job.

NIce work ...but it looks too much like am ISIS flag.
