  • Is this knife ready for WAR?!? Recently yall gave me some input on three different knife designs. This design was the clear winner! There were many facets of this knife build that were new to me including hollow grinding the bevels and grinding in the clip on the blade. Trying out new techniques in the art of knife making is what makes this craft fun! I hope yall enjoy the build; and if you have any questions please put them in the comments below.

    I know this is an older video and I don't know if you still want the idea, but if you wanted to get your scallops lined up, why not use an adjustable benchrest in front of your grinder? Something as simple as a barstool with a stack of dinner plates would even work. Make matching scallops on each side, then remove a plate. Make the next pair of matching scallops, remove a plate.
    Clearly a stack of known thickness material would be better and a purpose built adjustable benchrest would be best.

    Excellent work! I have always been too afraid to try a hollow grind.. however, I have made quite a few textured handles... I would try a larger diameter wheel, I typically run a 3/4” or 1” wheel for this operation. Also, I typically grind in the scallops after profiling but before shaping the scales (if that makes sense).

    A bit late bit if I am going to put scallops in the handle like that esp with handle material that has many alternating layers I like make it nothing but scallop and do my best to even it up by eye and use a moderate-high grit belt like 240 to do all of it. This will break it up visually and precision is less important since the eye doesn't really focus on how uneven it is since the handle material is many different layers and since it is all scallops there is no flat for a visual reference. It comes out looking good usually.

  • @griffithshandmade-knives
    @griffithshandmade-knives 3 роки тому

    I have to say that I find most knife makers like either 5/32 or 3/16 for most general purpose knives, so good recommendation for the subscribers 👍
    1/8 is great for a Caper/ Bird and Trout knife. Also as long as you get the distal taper and thickness behind the edge right, there’s nothing wrong with 1/8 for kitchen knives.
    Also, love hollow grinds! Everything has its place, depending on the knife, but I have a real soft spot for hollows 👌

I have a WEN bandsaw but haven’t tried a blade to cut steel with. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think the WEN is strong enough for steel removal. Keep up the great work and new ideas.

      If it's the WEN portaband like mine I bet it will work. Cheers Tim!

      @@CamaroZ28Nut3 yes sir,,, it’s a table top and I was pretty sure it wouldn’t work. Was thinking of getting a portaband and a swag table. Thanks brother.

    Use a dremel tool with a cone shape stone to do those facets on the scales.

    Great vid and Great Blade, really like the look of the finished blade and that scalloping of the handle really brought out the layers. I like my water sharpener as well, not sure why people complain about them.

    To fit the fighter and war style and theme you should sand or bead blast the handle to give it a really nice grip and texture since its hard to sand the grooves in the handle. Awesome video!
