For a simple cut out it turned out nice. That style with CMP s30v for the blade and a sheath up to Ian's standards well, you have a real blade. Thanks Dude I really enjoyed that. A simple but great design lan puts on. Great job.
I'm not mad about the blade to be honest, but the handle, I am making a knife for my Dad just now, and I think I will use your ideas on it. Great build and video, thanks for sharing.
You don't really need much more than a hacksaw, a couple of files and some sandpaper. The powertools just make it easier and faster, not of better quality.
It's nice to finally see someone make a 'homemade' knife with the proper tools. I understand most people don't have a mill, but hardly anyone even seems to have a vertical bandsaw. I would have liked to see more effort put into the blade, but nice work overall.
Sorry, what I meant was, do you have a favorite online source to buy small quantities of brass sheets, rods or blocks? Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge, I'm a fan.
+umberto4321 Still, that's my point, without knowing where you are I couldn't even begin to advice, and unfortunately unless you are located in Sweden I can't really help I'm afraid. Getting small amounts of metal material locally is always better, as shipping tends to become expensive as weights increase.
Have you done a video showing what tools you currently use? I'm working on my first knife, and I was hoping you had some suggestions for a guy making knives on a TIGHT budget? (Belt sanders, bench grinders, drill presses, etc.) Thanks! Awesome looking handle. Subbed! :D
Very nice work, and a beautiful design. I also like that horizontal belt sander with the spindle sander at the end. I wonder if there's some way to give it a table that wouldn't interfere with using the nose of the belt too? Maybe a pivoting support that let's you move it aside? -- Mike
Yeah, I've been considering the same. The issue being mainly since it takes different size spindles, for different radiuses, you'd have to make one table for each size (3 or 4 sizes I believe) and that would be a bit of a hassle.
So funny and very Condescending video, good ending and handle looks great, YES something good, recommending "Ian Atkinson", he is a master at making Knife sheaths. PEACE :-)
Very nice knife handle. I'm not a knife expert, so I'm not going to make any comments that the quality of the handle is superior to that of the stamped, mass-produced blade.
what size brass flat bar is best to use in the handle area, as in the with 1", 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" I guess I'm looking for the average knife making so that you have plenty to work with but not a lot of waste.
Sadly I cannot do this project :( I haven't got the power-machines that you are using... So I went out and checked all of the stores here in Bursa, Turkey! None of them sell elbow grease...! :D
Did you try at Bauhaus Nilüfer? If they don’t have you could get some cooking oil from CarrefourSA next door in the mall, it will work almost as good! 😉
@@SwitchAndLever I cannot decide if you are a savant who has visited Bursa before, and remembers where in the city Carrefour is! Or if you are the sweetest person in the world, who researches Bursa in Google, before he writes a comment!!! Which ever one it is, kudos, and thank you! :) Should you ever come by Bursa "again", or Turkey in general, please give me a call! :)
@@SwitchAndLever And you didn't bother to call me! :/ I am starting to think that we are not really friends, and that I am imposing myself on you! - You Sir, are seriously endangering our friendship! - Literally laughed, when writing the message above! :D Seriously!
Most beautiful amongst all the other knife's on youtube. On question for you, can you please tell me where you bought this knifeblade. I was searching the other day for a webshop but they were all in the U.S.A. (I live in Belgium... ;-) )
Unfortunately I cannot. As I mentioned in other comments, I don't remember where I bought the knife blade. However, it was a cheap blade, and I think it was from an online store in Sweden. There are quite a few online stores with blades like these though, one of the most popular European ones is brisa.fi (in Finland). I bet you could find what you want there.
Unless you're planning on using the pommel as a hammer I don't expect the glue to come apart. It's all personal preference though, I don't personally like the look when the tang comes out the back.
Nice work. Looks like you might have been able to save yourself some material and time however if you had cut the initial stock a bit closer to final shape. The handle is gorgeous though.
Mycket lärorik video! Har letat på många ställen efter epoxylim, men har endast hittat i små tuber. Har du nåt förslag var jag kan köpa epoxylim i större tuber?
Testa platser som säljer båtgrejer, specifikt för att bygga eller reparera båtar, dom brukar ha större mängder. Det går också att köpa online, t.ex. West System Epoxy finns tillgänglig från en hel del ställen i Sverige.
I can't actually remember, I've had that blade kicking around for some time now waiting for me to do something with it. I can tell you it's cheap, and super generic though, I doubt it even has a brand name. If you spend a bit more you can get nicer hand made blades, but this is one was certainly nothing unique.
What brand are the drill bit and end mill you use for drilling out the handle? I cannot find a decent long 4mm end grain drill bit, or a decent length 4mm end mill.
kaziklu79 Back then we even made the blades. Not forging, but stock removal, and hardening and everything. I still have that knife somewhere, but it's not a beauty by any standard.
Not sure how that's offensive, unless you're trying to be sarcastic, in which case I challenge you to spend a day in a workshop and have clean hands throughout, without wearing gloves constantly or washing your hands every five minutes.
No, what I said might offend some people. What I'm trying to say is, is that you keep your hygiene on spot! :D If you look at DiResta and those other lads, they have dirty hands lol.
RiceChoppy Hahaha, well, that's how it's supposed to be! The reason I commented as I did was because I've gotten more than enough comments about having dirty fingernails, which couldn't bother me at all, but seems to really disturb some people.
warpfire037 If I was just in the workshop it wouldn't be a problem, but as I'm often moving between workshop and computer washing my hands becomes imperative. I'd rather not have my computer covered in grease and dust if I can avoid it.
Beautiful work all around !!
Cheers! I appreciate it!
Switch & Lever
Thank you for the comprehensive look at this process. You made a lovely knife handle.
Easily one of the most beautiful, elegant knives ive ever seen. Higely inspirational
That knife turned out beautifully ... I am even more amazed at the shop used to process all of the work!
Great video! So impressed how well the finished knife came out!
Thank you!
I love this series. Great work!
Really nice work there, Daniel. The work put into finishing really shows

Thanks Dude I really enjoyed that. A simple but great design lan puts on.
Great job.
That turned out beautifully again, great video!
Thats a very well equipped workshop.
Great video! Fun to watch.
I'm not mad about the blade to be honest, but the handle, I am making a knife for my Dad just now, and I think I will use your ideas on it. Great build and video, thanks for sharing.
Excellent video. Top craftsmanship
This was exactly the video I was looking for, since i'm making an almost identical knife. Cheers :).
That's stunning. Very nice job.
Gorgeous knife and as per usual an excellent video
Great work. You are better at knife handles than me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I would like to say; Well done!
That means a lot coming from you, I highly admire the work you've been doing shown on your channel! Very beautiful knives!
Switch & Lever The same to You! Subbed. Thanks, Osmo
I wish I had the tools to make this amazing knife good job
You don't really need much more than a hacksaw, a couple of files and some sandpaper. The powertools just make it easier and faster, not of better quality.
On top of your amazing skills, I would like to say you have very good taste. Your finish is sober and beautiful.
Enjoyed the video and it is a beauty!
Beautiful bro...great piece of art!
Good work ,I'll give that a try myself👍
In regards of leather sheaths, Ian is tops in that
very nice work clean with a nice aesthetic excellent work
Thats a good looking and well made knife. Already waiting for next video :)
It will come in a few days, and hopefully I'll be back to a more regular uploading schedule after that. Thanks for watching!
Switch & Lever Thank you for making interesting videos. :)
nice craftsmanship there mate. well done on the tutorial too.
Great job. Loved it.
That's a really nice handle!
Beautiful knife, well done.
it's an amazing workpiece. if i see it I wouldn't even care if the knife is good of bad because that handle is just beautiful

i love the handle, beautiful knife man!
Velmi pěkná práce, moc pěkný nůž.
Nice. Well done. Great inspiration.
Hey mate you have a lot of different sanders do you do it for a living or hobby?
Beautiful knife and thank you for the informative video !
Brilliant video
Beautiful!
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!! i like it!!
nice. it inspired me to make one like Yours.
Wonderful... Thank you for this tutorial... So motivating...
Very cool!
Thank you!
Very nice!
Good job

Switch & Lever Build one table that space for an insert around the spindle, then you only need to make an insert for each size spindle.
WELL DONE

Very nice knife handle. I'm not a knife expert, so I'm not going to make any comments that the quality of the handle is superior to that of the stamped, mass-produced blade.
great knife and great vid!
what is the polish compound you use with the dremmel?
what size brass flat bar is best to use in the handle area, as in the with 1", 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" I guess I'm looking for the average knife making so that you have plenty to work with but not a lot of waste.
: a beautiful knife...well done mate!!! what's the blade material??
Beautiful knife. What cement do you use.
Very, very nice work and design !
Wish I could work as fast as you do here ;-)) !
I wish I could work as fast as I do there. Haha!
wow that is a beauty . so you just epoxy the brass on the pummel part ?
That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't trust the pommel to stay attached very long just epoxied into the end of the wood.
Snyggt jobbat!!!
that was a bauteful handle.
you are wery talented.
by the way how long did it take to fhinished it?
Beautiful handle. Well done and ty for video.
Can you tell me what wood you used other than walnut? please are going to do a knife like yours.
Is it possible to find out which bandsaw and which blades you´re using?
Thank you very much.
That knife is a real beaut.
Beautiful

Beautyfull knife. Sr. Very very nice work on that knife congrats. I subed
Great video, thanks for sharing
Another fine video. This makes me want to make a blade form an old file, and then make the handle from some bois d arc wood that is local to me.
I was considering that, but I couldn't find an old file. Will have to hunt around in flea markets a bit to stock up.
Most beautiful amongst all the other knife's on youtube. On question for you, can you please tell me where you bought this knifeblade. I was searching the other day for a webshop but they were all in the U.S.A. (I live in Belgium... ;-) )

awesome job
Very nice, but why did you glue the brass pommel on and not pien the knife handle into it for better strength?
Unless you're planning on using the pommel as a hammer I don't expect the glue to come apart. It's all personal preference though, I don't personally like the look when the tang comes out the back.
Excellent 👌
Nice Knife
Where do you get your brass and other metals?
great video,helped me out alot.
very creative
The epoxy looked easy to work with since it was so fluid. Is it the one called z-poxy PT-40 Finishing Resin?
Beautiful.
Very nice work. Subbed.
waw ....very very very , nice job , realy nice
Looks great. I might have drilled right through the handle and peened the steel over to secure the end cap to make it more robust.
Nice work. Looks like you might have been able to save yourself some material and time however if you had cut the initial stock a bit closer to final shape. The handle is gorgeous though.
en fråga: blir inte mässinget brunt efter ett tag (ärgar)
very nice!
Hej vad är det för järn,metall du andvänder och vet du vart man kan hitta bra järn plåt till en kniv typ?

Ärat vare Gud i höjden, denna har jag gjort i slöjden!
Lite så, fast långa vägar bättre än den abysmala kniven man själv gjorde en 20 år sen.
wow awesome and butiful work! :) I really like it! :)
Really nice job there. Just subbed.
har du några knivar till salu?
skit fin blev den!
Nice video!
What kind of knife blade did you use?
Do you have a brand name or a site were I can find them?
Greetings.

What brand are the drill bit and end mill you use for drilling out the handle? I cannot find a decent long 4mm end grain drill bit, or a decent length 4mm end mill.
Good job! Is that your first try at knife's handle making?
First try since 15-20 years or so, when we made knives in shop class in middle school.
We've never made something so cool at school :)
I like the knife from the video, hope you'll make some more.
kaziklu79 Back then we even made the blades. Not forging, but stock removal, and hardening and everything. I still have that knife somewhere, but it's not a beauty by any standard.
Sounds great :)

How did you make the brass plates between the wood?
Spark when using the bandsaw at 2:55 !
Two thumbs up
