Knife Making - Making a Black Bowie Knife

Hello, in this video I show how I made a black bowie style knife. The blade was darkened in manganese phosphate and the handle in a solution of vinegar and steel wool. Watch the video and check how it turned out, leave your like and comment, promote the video to help leverage the channel. Thanks
In this channel you will find videos dedicated to the manufacture of: knife, miniatures, tools, machines, among others.

Its beautiful !!
A heavyweight knife like that deserves a full tang, a lanyard hole and a few pins in the handle to make it solid .

[@MakerHA]

👍👍👍

[@monsterslayer4317]

My hat is off...All those big heavy grinding tools, totally freehand, no computers, no guides, no jigs. Extraordinary skill. And a fantastic result. Wow.

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. Yes, this ends up being very difficult to do, everything doesn't always line up perfectly but I always try to do the best I can. 👍👍👍

[@HonestDoubter]

Not true... he TOTALLY used a jig when he ground that blade.... that he made from scrap... with a grinder he made from scrap.... with scrap metal he made a knife out of.... yeah...that shit was amazing. ;)

Realy nice shape and design. I like that you use simple tools and get the same result as in a 100k Dollar Workshop. Once I startet in the open just under the roof with one forge an anvil and a workbench.

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. Yes, many people think they need more expensive equipment and tools, but with simple tools you can get a good result. 👍👍👍

[@HamzaHamza-wk7uo]

Beautiful beautiful...but I want to ask if it is okay for heavy duty usage without a pin holding the blade to the handle

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. So, I believe it will last for a while. But for very rough use I would recommend using another tool. Because even though this knife has a hole in the handle, the resin works like a pin embedded in the handle. 👍👍👍

[@bernardhill1622]

@@MakerHA
Generally I've also found most modern epoxys suffice as grip to handle, as i myself prefer avoiding pins as they can sometimes be a bit of "overkill" & distracting to the finish you're trying to achieve, particularly when i do Exotic Stone Handle Slabs/Scales carved out 3 dimensionally with i.e., African Wildlife Figures etc.,..as they would say " different Horses for different Courses "..⁉️🤔👍🏻

[@MakerHA]

Yes, I don't like using it either for the same reasons. I could have even put a pin in this one, as it would have ended up being hidden behind the leather. But I got lazy and did it anyway 👍👍👍 @@bernardhill1622

[@ParadoxEcho]

Beautiful workmanship.
Do have one concern with the grip. The thorn like protrusion that curves up towards the fingers looks like a potential injury risk, also it looks like the back edge may scratch along the inner wrist, they look very cool but might make the weapon more difficult to use. IDK

[@MakerHA]

👍👍👍

[@BurritosandCornbread]

Question. Is that a leaf spring you are using? If so why would you have to temper it. Shouldn't the spring already be tempered from the factory. Maybe a stupid question but I am a novice.

[@MakerHA]

Yes, it's a car spring. I temper it because the blade comes with a temper with a lower hardness than that used in knives. And as they normally see pies, to untwist them they have to be heated. And if you heat steel you need to temper it again, as you end up removing the temper. Another factor is that when the steel is tempered it becomes hard, which means it is difficult to work with it, which is why I do the hardness removal process to handle it more easily. 👍👍👍

Grinding skills, not blacksmithing. More like a metal cookie cutter

[@emiliendupire2955]

Yes, fine!

[@MakerHA]

👍👍👍

[@nightwalker2830]

What is the advantage and disadvantage of a stick tang vs a full tang knife?

[@MakerHA]

This largely depends on the purpose of the knife. A knife for cutting, cooking a constant and carrying the hidden tang is better as it weighs much less compared to a full tang. Now a rougher knife for heavier work is preferable to a full tang, as the chances of it breaking are much smaller, making it a much more impact resistant knife. 👍👍👍

Thank you my friend. I used a 4'' angle grinder to cut; a 7'' one for roughing; a belt sander made with a 7'' grinder and an industrial grinder to make the edge on the blade; a micro-grinding machine for finishing the frieze and a bench drill. I think these were the tools I used 👍👍👍

Considering the limitations of Tools available a well excecuted task with certainly no lack of skills & techniques...the Rhino horn on the back of the handle Pomel area a little at risk of easly being damaged & a consideration of a pin thru' hiden Tang could possibly help..⁉️Certainly
