ANTLER HANDLE KNIFE

  • I'm finishing up the knife that I forged out a little while back. I attempted to create a damascus/san mai blade but that did not pan out. The steel was too similar and I lost any and all detail/contrast. So to save it I ended up etching it a final time in copper tainted ferric chloride acid. Just by adding pennies to my acid I was able to dip the blade and get a copper patina.

    Can you tell me how do you make this copper etch mixture, i love it!

    • @TheHiddenHomestead
      @TheHiddenHomestead  2 роки тому

      I don’t have exact measurements but it’s pretty easy. Here’s what I did. Disclaimer: always ware your PPE and use proper safety precautions when dealing with acid. Ok. Take a quart jar and fill it about 3/4 full with ferric chloride. Then drop about 8-10 pennies in. Once the pennies have dissolved (roughly 24 hours) fill the jar the rest of the way with water. Distilled water is best. Then dunk the blade in. Keep an eye on it. You dilute the solution because your not trying to do a complete etch on the blade. The dissolved copper particles in the solution will actually attach themselves to the clean metal surface. And that’s it. If it didn’t get as much copper patina as you wanted you can either keep it in a little longer or add a few more Pennie’s to the solution.

      Randy Blackburn thank you! glad you enjoyed it. I believe the 50 is a little faster then the canola. I used canola for awhile but ended up getting some slightly used #50 for cheap so I’ve used it for the last three knives I’ve done.

    Yo, Great looking knife, Loved the JB weld usage. Did you find that as you shaped the bolster, did you see any movement due to the heat effects on the JB weld? I have used Ferric chloride many times working with Damascus, but how many pennies did it take to get the copper look with it? Also, what is the name of that music your playing in the video It starts at 2 minutes in? Oh and you may want to label that Ferric Chloride! It may be confused with shine :)

    • @TheHiddenHomestead
      @TheHiddenHomestead  4 роки тому +1

      MEDIC MIKE actually to be honest I wasn’t able to get it on video but the JB weld did fail so I went back and used clear gorilla glue. I won’t be using JB again because of that reason you mentioned. Lesson learned. I used about 15-20 pennies in that one jar. And the music came from here on UA-cam. Id have to look up the name for which one i used if you’re interested.
