Forging advice: Don't put your thumb on the handle, it will lead to repetitive stress injury (tennis elbow). Wrap all the way around the handle. Life the hammer from your shoulder, not the biceps, it involves more and larger muscle groups and you'll get tired slower and get a lot more power. Great project!
Neil, that is a super video as it shares things not normally seen in other knife making videos. Your explanation of the bevel is very clear for those wanting to learn about knife making.
Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!
Did anyone else get a little freaked out by that sound around the 12:22 mark? "Was that an ambulance? A dirt bike? Or some feral bush animal sneaking up on Pask?!?"😂
Very impressed when you cut the end grain and left a polished edge. Great video! I’ve watched this video many times, and have learned something new every time. Thank you Mr. Pask.
Hey, great work! Might I add some tips, from one amateur blacksmith to another? -Keep your anvil close to your fire so you don't lose heat. -Don't put your thumb on top of the hammer as you're striking, it'll transfer all the kinetic energy into your tendons and wreck them. -If you use your brush in only one direction it'll last longer since the bristles won't wiggle themselves loose as much. -You can choose to put your touchmark on it after the initial grinding, before heat treatment, so it'll be deeper as you're not gringing away at it as much. -You're right in using the thickest one. As the saying goes: "if you want a good edge win, forge it thicc and grind it thin." But don't take my word for it, I'm just a random dude on the internet who learned most of the craft from youtube videos. It's a great little knife you made in any case. Well done.
Greetings from finland !Great job again Pask ! that looks a lot like finnish woodcarving knife ! we call it "Puukko" if u break the word "PUU" means wood... Carpenters, fishers ,hunters , lumberjacks, and woodcarving artist all use this type of knife in finland.... some have little bit longer or wider blade and the body goes thru the handle everytime... nothing FULLTANG SHIT here... Knifemakers in finland burns with the knifebody to be exact to the handle while in final heating prosess... and they put little piece leather between copper and wood.... wood expands and shrinks even with this direction just a little bit.......I Love ur channel Pask.. these videos make my day sometimes :D
Another awsome build! Today i was working in my shop and I was thinking i need a carving knife. I was searching where to buy one, but you just make it yourself. That inspires me now! Thanks
Yup... watching the design transfer to fresh paper for the cutout, and thought THAT was the template he was talking about for a second... then registered "make it out of aluminum so it'll last longer"... and my face scrunched up horribly... till I realized he was talking about an aluminum template... terminology... TERMINOLOGY!!! ...maybe I should lay off the damn word-games... ;o)
Congratulations. What a very mesmoring video. It's incredible to watch your fine skill, and the knowledge which you exhibit. You break down the process so well.
Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!
Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.
That is an absolute work of art, I'm so impressed by your commitment to it and the challenges you've overcome. That tapered faceted ferule is something else! Watching you learn helps me learn and your work is inspiring. All the best mate
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Now I know why I did not throw away those old car springs! Now I only need to gain "some" skills to makes such knives. Won't be easy!
Your work is really beautiful and seeing how happy you are by doing it is amazing! Discovered your channel just recently and I am already a big fan. It's so peaceful to watch :) Keep up this awesome work! Greetings from Brazil \o/
Have you looked into hot filing? It's supposed to remove material like crazy, to cut down on grinder time. That, and forging to start the bevel. Apparently forging the bevel's a bit tricky, though. Gorgeous tool! The ferrule being shaped to the handle like that is really cool, never seen that before.
Nice, I have been wanting to make one of those for quite a while, this might just be the boot up my A$$ that gets me back into the workshop. I need to finish something, I have been out of the workshop for too long and have far too many unfinished bigger projects....depression is a nasty foe!
Awesome build!!! Can’t wait to try something. Similar!! 🙌🏻 One point : as you were carving at the end noticed the blade wasn’t super sharp .. would have been soo nice to see you take that awesome blade from an 800 whetstone through to a 2000 -3000 And then stropped to give that mirror sharp Finnish !!
Brilant, mate! Do you realize how many projects I would have to so to emulate this knife? Well I better get to work making all the tools nessary to accomplish it. Thanks a lot (he said sarcasticly).That's actually really cool, man! It's so much fun creating stuff like that.
First of your videos I’ve ever seen. Interesting video on many levels - I was particularly fascinated with your band-saw jig, so I’m going to hunt for your video on how to make that...

Thanks very much for the advice, definitely makes sense! :)
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?
@Larry Elisha Flixportal :P
@Jaxson Harrison thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!
@Larry Elisha Happy to help :D

very very good job
Love it! Classic Pask style - honesty about setbacks and how you overcame them to produce an amazing piece!
Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!
That’s a super wood carving knife, and I love the sound of the wood getting whittled away.

This is how great I think he is.

Thank you!
The idea of using a step drill and then filing into a taper is pure genius :D
I like how you didn't feel the need to cut paper to prove you know how to sharpen a blade. That alone is worth a few thousand likes.
Wow, looks like you've upped your blacksmithing game. That maker mark is looking great too.
Brilliant! Great to watch as making carving knifes at the moment and will be tweaking , ok copying a few things!
Another awsome build! Today i was working in my shop and I was thinking i need a carving knife. I was searching where to buy one, but you just make it yourself. That inspires me now! Thanks
That’s a nice and sharp knife. Looks like it’ll be a great carving knife.
Nice touch filing the facets on the ferule. Great work.
That handle making jig is clever, I'll go watch that next!
In the beginning misheard and thought you were gonna make the actual blade out of aluminum. Was thinking you lost your mind lol
Zeke b me too.... I rewind the video thinking past has forgotten his meds. Lol
Same
Yup... watching the design transfer to fresh paper for the cutout, and thought THAT was the template he was talking about for a second... then registered "make it out of aluminum so it'll last longer"... and my face scrunched up horribly... till I realized he was talking about an aluminum template...
terminology...
TERMINOLOGY!!!
...maybe I should lay off the damn word-games... ;o)
Zeke b yeah I was really curious how an aluminum knife blade would last longer than steel 🤣
@@eizzle78 WOul last longer than paper one though. You all just got the wrong point of reference!
I liked the spring clamp notching thing you used on the blade.
Keep up the great work!
I’ve never failed to be blown away by any of your vids thanks for sharing your imagination.
I love seeing you use all the different tools you’ve made over time, making more tools. Great vid.
Great knife, i love that you leave the mistakes in. We all make them, just have to overcome them in our projects!
Congratulations. What a very mesmoring video. It's incredible to watch your fine skill, and the knowledge which you exhibit. You break down the process so well.
Good job Pask love your videos and how you narrated them as well.
I made one almost like that to keep in my carving kit, but it's so useful it stays on the work bench instead. Great video.
Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!
Really liked this one, Neil, nice carving knife. I also liked the vice you have for holding the knife as you did the ferrule work.
You are a magician, sir. Great touches with the copper accents. I love your work!
Thanks for the explanation of the zero clearance grind on the blade.
Benedict White it is most often referred to as a Scandi Grind
@@sunnybeach9145 Cheers.
Excellent job Sir.
Very nice blacksmithing job. Nice carver.
I’m suprised to see how many tools we can do our selfs 😱 and this one is one of my favorite 👍🏼🤩😜
Nothing better than a sharp knife/chisel, the sounds of it cutting wood is glorious 😊
Great build Neil, well done 🏆👍🏼
awesome project and process!
Really nice work...enjoyed watching you create this carving knife! 👍🏼👍🏼
This is very similar to how I make mine. I want to say you did an excellent job on this tutorial.
Looks like forging ain't all that bad when your forge gets that hot. Awesome and inspiring as always Pask!
A hot forge is a happy forge. ;o)
Another great build, Neil. Getting plenty of use out of the new belt sander.
beautiful thanks for all your movies
Well that clearly works wonderfully, and it looks like it sits comfortably in the hand. Not much more you could ask for really! Very nicely done! :)
There's not many feelings better than when a nice sharp file bites into some copper or other soft metal
I wold totally buy one, great for whittling.
Excelent project. Congratulations My friend
Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.
Thanks Alex! You should definitely give it a go - have fun! :)
That is an absolute work of art, I'm so impressed by your commitment to it and the challenges you've overcome. That tapered faceted ferule is something else! Watching you learn helps me learn and your work is inspiring. All the best mate
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Now I know why I did not throw away those old car springs! Now I only need to gain "some" skills to makes such knives.
Won't be easy!
Good job 👍🏽 hello from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 I like this knife 🔪
Points for patience Neil. Beautiful job.
At 0:52 when you sped it up, I thought for a second that you got hurt and scared the shit out of me lol
Use the same template and make another one sharpened on the opposite side. It would make a versatile set.
Wow just a beautiful job . Great vid
I'm impressed
Absolutely awesome carving knife Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!
Pask is the man!!
Nice from start to finish
Very cool. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Great video - yet again! Love seeing you use all those tools you made yourself as earlier projects.
nice work and attention to detail, will have to make one of your handle jigs.
Greetings from Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan Canada
Very nice work my respect 👍
Nicely done, Mate.
Awesome job Neil! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
That really turned out nice!
Good Evening ,
Great Build ! You have a Fantastic Shop ! Great Jig for forming a Handle ! Take Care and Be Safe ! Keep Hammering !
That was fun! You made that look so easy and the finished knife is perfect!
awesome job and design, your stamp works great as well
You're the man Neil! I was just telling my son's that I wanted to make a carving knife. They will be excited to see.
Your work is really beautiful and seeing how happy you are by doing it is amazing!
Discovered your channel just recently and I am already a big fan. It's so peaceful to watch :)
Keep up this awesome work! Greetings from Brazil \o/
Beautiful knife Neil!
That turned out beautifully Neil. Great work as always.
Thanks to share it
Very nice and cool👌
Thank you very much for the Arabic translation work in this video🌹🌹🌹👍🏻
This design is täljkniv in Sweden , many Swedish brands make these knives also Mora.
Very common since slöjd era.
guzelovalish what's the English translation of täljkniv? I'm going to assume it means something knife 😂

Clever handle jig and nice blade.
Thanks for showing how and sharing that, art work
I learn something all the time.
Great video thanks from London 👍
I want one! Looks perfect
Beautiful!!!!!
Good job, as usual.
love watching your videos, even if I am not particularly interested in what you are making sometimes. cheers
Nice, I have been wanting to make one of those for quite a while, this might just be the boot up my A$$ that gets me back into the workshop.
I need to finish something, I have been out of the workshop for too long and have far too many unfinished bigger projects....depression is a nasty foe!
That's so amazing! Job well done! Love the video and b am very jealous of the knife!
Absolutely stunning. Always with an added value. THX!
Du bist der Beste.
Awesome build!!! Can’t wait to try something. Similar!! 🙌🏻
One point : as you were carving at the end noticed the blade wasn’t super sharp .. would have been soo nice to see you take that awesome blade from an 800 whetstone through to a 2000 -3000
And then stropped to give that mirror sharp Finnish !!
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch :) thank you! The knife looks great!
Bloody gorgeous mate!
Very nicely done. I wish I could afford one.
You never disappoint!
Good effort and keep practicing.
Brilant, mate! Do you realize how many projects I would have to so to emulate this knife? Well I better get to work making all the tools nessary to accomplish it. Thanks a lot (he said sarcasticly).That's actually really cool, man! It's so much fun creating stuff like that.
great craftsmanship,
Magnificent as always!
😍What a knife. I also want to do this, but i don't have this blacksmith oven. Your chanel is so inspiring, i can't stop to watch❤👍
First of your videos I’ve ever seen. Interesting video on many levels - I was particularly fascinated with your band-saw jig, so I’m going to hunt for your video on how to make that...
Thanks - glad you found it interesting! :)
Great work on the carving knife Neil! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
