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.
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. 👍👍👍
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. ;)
Grinding skills, not blacksmithing. More like a metal cookie cutter Ppl like this is what gives knife makers a bad reputation in the blacksmithing community
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. 👍👍👍
@@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 "..⁉️🤔👍🏻
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
A beautiful knife. As for me I cut out my blanks with a plasma cutter and forge my bevels in. This saves a lot on the sanding belts and time; however, you executed that knife beautifully!
Great job! As with anything, some may feel something is wrong, or would have looked or "felt better" if you had done something different. It's YOUR knife, YOUR design, YOUR choice! Some people need/prefer larger handles. I think this is a wonderful job and looks great!
Thank you very very much my friend. Yes, unfortunately some people don't understand this, and end up criticizing you too much. But as you said, it was my choice to do it this way. A big hug for you. 👍👍👍

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.
Really like that handle. I love watching other knifemakers work and seeing how they do things differently than the way I was taught. Looking at the thumbnail I really wondered how you were going to do that fuller. Really nice work.
I really like the way you made the blade. The handle: You finalized it before you glued the knife together. What would you have done if the hole in the wood was off-center? Usually I make the hole, glue the pieces together and then shape the handle. That way you can compensate for any mishap in making the hole in the handle completely vertical. Just a thought.
Thanks my friend. Yes, I know that, but this hole was very centralized, that's why I did it this way. But I prefer to do as you said, shaping the cado after gluing it, it's much easier and you rarely make a mistake. 👍👍👍
I was trying to use a Drimmel with a sanding drum on it to form but the drum just doesn't cut metal. I believe they are only for wood. What small drum on what tool did you you use to cut the grove in the blade
Muito obrigado meu amigo. Ali usei vinagre com com palha de aço. Você deixa a palha de aço durante uns dois dias dentro do vinagre depois usa ele para escurecer a madeira. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much my friend. And a solution of steel wool and vinegar. You put the vinegar in a container and leave it with steel wool for a few days, then you use this liquid to darken the wood. It doesn't work with all woods, some are darker than others 👍👍👍
Thank you my friend. Yes, the sound of equipment ends up becoming annoying. So I decided to reduce it a little to see if it would be more pleasant. Is this good? I would like some feedback so I can know if I continue doing this. 👍👍👍
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
Tem risco sim, caso você nao resfrie a lamina constantemente. Se você pressionar muito a lamina contra a lixadeira provavelmente você criara um ponto quente em alguma parte e pode vir a destemperar aquela região. Por isso tem que ser feito com cuidado, lentamente. Eu prefiro fazer assim, pois como deixo o fio com cerca de 0.5 a 1.5mm de espessura é muita coisa para tirar em uma pedra. Se eu deixar o fio com menos do que isso corre o risco de quando temperar venha sofrer algum empeno. Como minha forja nao tem temperatura controlado, ela acaba aquecendo de forma desigual a lamina, e isso pode fazer com que ela empene em alguma parte.
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 👍👍👍
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. 👍👍👍
Had to do a double take on the thumbnail pic. I thought it was one of Sam Larquin's knives. At least we can tell where the inspiration and the design was from and you didnt murder it. Good job keep working 👍
Thanks my friend. I haven't made any hems for it yet. Leather is very expensive around here, for me it is unfeasible to make it, and it is better to have one made. 👍👍👍
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.
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. 👍👍👍
I love the knife, I'd love to see it test on something harder than paper. Like a chop test then a paper test. Cool looking is one thing, functional is a totally different thing. Peace brother.
Thank you so much my friend. I don't have it in PDF, I took the pattern by hand, but I can scan it and send it to you if you want. Send me a message on Instagram and I'll send it to you👍👍👍

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

Nice Job what was the hole in the tang for?
Thank you my friend. The hole is used for resin to penetrate it and act as a pin. This way the cable does not have a visible pin 👍👍👍

I used a stone one, they are much more resistant than the sandpaper ones. I only use sandpaper for finishing.👍👍👍
Its a beautiful knife, but i wandering how do you make it Black(the Steel)???
Thank you very much my friend. The product I used was phosphated and manganese 👍👍👍

Só uma dúvida, passar a lâmina na lixadeira depois da têmpera, não tem risco de perder a têmpera, o correto não séria afiar na pedra?
Tem risco sim, caso você nao resfrie a lamina constantemente. Se você pressionar muito a lamina contra a lixadeira provavelmente você criara um ponto quente em alguma parte e pode vir a destemperar aquela região. Por isso tem que ser feito com cuidado, lentamente. Eu prefiro fazer assim, pois como deixo o fio com cerca de 0.5 a 1.5mm de espessura é muita coisa para tirar em uma pedra.
