Making A Handle Broach | Knife Making

- A handle broach is used when making hidden tang knives to square up the hole in the handle and possibly remove enough material to connect drilled holes together, thus forming a slot. Since I plan on forging some knives and building hidden tang constructions a proper knife making handle broach will be necessary. The process of building a quality handmade tool is extremely satisfying and I hope to use this tool to hollow out many a hidden tang handle in the future!

I can really appreciate how even some elaborate tools you have were handmade with a simple approach. Just me, but I'd like to see more of these types of videos.
Cheers man! Have a great week! Thanks for your comment.
Knife-makers don't make mistakes, they improve and simplify their designs! 👊🏻
That was sweet, James!
🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
Thanks man!
I know this video is a year old but it is very pertinent to my work this week! Thanks for sharing your time and passion with us! I get a lot of useful ideas from watching you, thank you again!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Michael
Your skills have increased exponentially since I first started watching your channel, hopefully I will be able to follow your example.
Thank you sir! I'm learning as I go for sure! Glad you're along for the ride. Have a great holiday weekend!
Love the build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Rodney! Appreciate your comment!
Great stuff as always. I converted a small keyhole saw to a very thin broach, but need to make a thicker one. Think that'll be a forging project rather than use up bar stock on it. As always though, got some great tips. It's a joy to watch you work.
Thank you very much sir! Have a great weekend!
I didn't know what the tool was for until you used it. Nice job on the handle.
Thanks man! It’s doing it’s job well :)
Another great and enjoyable video.
Really appreciate that!
now I want one!!!
Thank sir! I like how this guy turned out too.
Awesome work!👊🏼
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing !😉
Thank you!
Liked.shared. Awesome build. All my best.
Thanks man!
Nice job man!
Thank you!!
Nice usefull tool!
Thanks!!
Great video, Please do a review of the Mini Mill, that would be a great addition! Thank you.
Thanks Dan! I think a review is going to be in order for sure!
Awesome, a $500 Tang Broach!
Glad you like it Glenn!
Very nice build! You needed the broach so you could have built that with a hidden Tang and it would have been much cheaper in steel.😉
Yes sir, I agree!
Muy buenos trabajos saludos desde 🇵🇾
¡Muchas gracias! Saludos desde texas
Good looking broach.. that purple heart is some tough stuff..lol.. I used it for the handles on the last set of knives i made..looks good thou.. well done sir!
Thanks Anthony! No joke! That stuff is tough... Have a great weekend!
@@RedBeardOps you too!
Darn good
Thank you!
At one point you said shaft and tip too many times in a short sequence and my wife heard and asked what in the hell kinda video are you watching??? Lol
Hahaha, man that's funny. Sorry to get you in trouble Johnny!
Good old knife porn
Are you happy with it mate? Will it serve you well? I hope so and thanks for sharing!
So far, so good! If you make one I don't think 2 teeth are needed.... 1 would do it. Cheers Wade!
@@RedBeardOps thanks for the reply mate... appreciate it! I just started doing hidden tang knives after being exclusively full tang... definitely need something like this!
Well worth the sub for me bud !
Thanks man!
You may find it easier for the coke bottle shape, by using an 8 inch or 10 inch contact wheel for the back to palm shape. Just a thought.
For sure... I'm going to need a bigger wheel! I have a 4'' in the shop I need to rig up. Have a great weekend sir!
If you made another broach what changes would you make.
Tkx. Great video's sir
Hey Eric, this one has been working pretty good. Two teeth likely aren't necessary. One is enough.
Good video and good tool. Doesn't having 2 teeth at the front so close increase the likely hood that you will have materials jammed between requiring you stop and clean it as you shown? Or does 1 tooth leave the material inside the hole? I wouldn't know, I'm just curious.
Man I don't know. No science to going with two teeth. For what it's worth Kyle Royer's only has one tooth! It made decently fast work of the handle I tested it on though!
Thirty years making knives and I've never had one of those. "When you stop learning, you die"
Heck yeah sir! Cheers have a great week!
@@RedBeardOps I use minimal power tools, an 8" and a 6" bench grinder and a 1" and a 6" belt sander. But I have made some tools. My leather punch and a few small chisels. I have some old screwdrivers, I think I will use one of them for a broach
Details on the snorkel/respirator thing. Looks interesting
This is where I got mine. It goes in and out of stock. Resp-O-Rator - amzn.to/2M6PMN7
By the way, you may know me as, little valley forge
Fun project! Really nice job! Question: I've made a few, but not nearly as nice, but they only have one tooth. I noticed in the video the wood gets caught between the two teeth, and at the angle you are pulling it, it seems only the furthest tooth is engaging. On my single tooth ones, the shaving just form a curl that drops out of the hole. Do you find the two teeth helpful, or do you have to stop and clean the shavings, etc.?
Hey Daniel, I'm not sure, but I think the 1 tooth design may be slightly better. There was no thought out reason I went with two. Have a great week!
What is a good thickness material to use? Most of my knives are either 3/16 or 5/32 so anything smaller than the 5/32?? Or should I use that same size as you thinned the stock behind the cutting head?
Thx!
Man I'm probably not the best person to ask for hidden tang knives. I've only made a handful. I'll say that I think smaller would be better. You want to be able to get the broach into the holes you drilled and start clearing out material. If it's too big you'll get stuck a lot. In reality I think it would be best to have a few different sizes...
@@RedBeardOps thank you!!
How has this thing held up since u made it. Would u change anything?
Man I've only had the chance to use it a few times, but it's done just fine. I don't think 2 teeth are necessary. 1 tooth would do it.
Your use of jigs and fixtures ect. is amazing. When seen you say, well why didn"t I think of that? Your scribe is be yond compare. I will have to watch this video many times to remember all the accessories. I have the number one already, A beard. Have had for many years. Helps you do things better. Where did you obtain your resperator? leenotcharleen
Thank you very much sir! Really appreciate that. This is the respirator I use. It goes in and out of stock regularly, so you may need to watch it until it's back in stock. Resp-O-Rator - amzn.to/2M6PMN7
Always learning, thanks for teaching! Can you point me in the direction of the breathing apparatus you use please?
For sure man! I use this one... Resp-O-Rator - amzn.to/2M6PMN7 - it goes in and out of stock and has been out a lot since COVID
Great video! Shouldn't you wear a nose clip with that respirator?
Yeah, you caught me. I generally do. Cheers sir! Glad you liked it.
Red Beard Ops you've a great channel sir. Keep up the good work!
You had me until you used that torch! I’m still going to build one, just like your heat treat oven, etcher, and hydraulic press.
Good luck Jack!
not a knife maker but may have cut out the carbide tip out of a carbide saw blade and silver solder to a handle
Good idea sir!
I made my broach from a Sawzall blade with an exotic wood broomstick handle. It sorta works. Interested in a trade?
Nice! lol, no sir, I'm loving mine
What kind of breathing apparatus do you have there??
That's a respirator for those with beards! Here it is - Resp-O-Rator - amzn.to/2M6PMN7
What the hell do you use to breathe?
Lol, hey man this is the respirator I use - Resp-O-Rator - amzn.to/2M6PMN7
Works great with a beard.
Why do you wear this mask when work with file and saw? :)
Good questions, sometimes I forget I have it on! No reason to use with file and saw.
