ANTLER HANDLE KNIFE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- 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.

Beautiful knife and handle. I enjoyed the music- the whole video was enjoyable. God bless
Thank you!
Beautiful sir! Going to make one next week. Thank you for sharing
Thank you! And you’re welcome! Good luck I’d love to know how it turns out.
That knife looks spectacular! Love the antler handles!
Thank you very much!!
Molto interessante la scelta dei materiali , l'esecuzione e la cura dei particolari. Mi piace molto il manico che termina con quell'ingrossamento naturale come per evitare che il coltello scivoli dalla mano.Complimenti
Se la mia traduzione italiana è corretta, grazie!
Exactly what I was looking for for ideas on my one knife handles
Great!
What a great second life for the diamond cut off blade... the copper color is beautiful!
Glenn Switzer thanks!! The new owner of the knife is, like myself a concrete guy! So it made sense to incorporate that and the brass edger somewhere.
The blade is super cool! I've never seen copper tint before, now I want to tint everything copper! lol
Haha I know. I’ve done it to a few different knives. And love it.
Perfect size blade for handle.
Well thought out.
You’re a craftsman.
Now, to shoot a deer big enough to tote antlers around that big... priceless. 😎👍
😆😆 thank you!!
Ah! Despite not showing an etch that turned out awesome!
I now want to copper tint everything with ferric chloride... years of copper plate etching in Art school and I never knew it could do that
DuckHill Workshop it’s a pretty cool process!
You are very creative
Well thank you!
Cool looking knife I've never seen that done with the copper before.
Kuipers Adventures thanks! Yeah it’s a really cool and easy process. Really glad I did it!
That knife came out awesome!! I love it!!! Good job dude!! 💪💪💪
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
Great looking knife. I'm really diggin the copper etch on the blade.
Bill Stringer thank you! Me too. I think it really matches the “rustic” look of the deer antler. Pretty excited I found out about the process.
@@TheHiddenHomestead Did you use copper sulfate and ferric chloride?
Bill Stringer no actually I through about 20 cents into the acid! Let it set for about a day then stirred it up with the knife and let that set for 20 minutes.
I'm definitely going to try it. I make about 10 knives a year as gifts, always have to have copper somewhere on them.
Bill Stringer oh awesome! Yeah super easy to do and I think it looks great. It just adds something different. Good luck👍
Nicely done!
🙏🙏 thank you!!
Excellent video sir
Thank you very much!
Very nice job. I want one.
Thank you! I sell them over on my website theworkshopathh.com/
I don’t have any stock at the moment as I’m only able to forge as needed right now to fulfill orders. If you reach out to me over their I’d be happy to add you to the list.
Put me on the list.
Rainy antler handle could be more appropriate title LOL

Beautiful. What glue did you use to mate the handle to the tang?
Thank you! Gorilla Glue clear epoxy
Awesome knife, what was the stuff between the brass you used for the bolster
Steel from a concrete blade.
beautiful video
максим максимов thank you!!
Can you tell me how do you make this copper etch mixture, i love it!
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.
Thank you!
@@janselic9998 you’re welcome!
Super ! !
Ivo Stašek thank you!
I'm impressed , was scratching my head when you were laminating the hand guard but it turned out really nice does the #50 oil you use quench better than warm canola oil ?
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.
The Workshop at Hidden Homestead thanks for reply - I just ordered some 1095 from a distributor and oddly enough they recommend the # 50
Randy Blackburn yeah that’s what I was told for the 1095 as well.
Very nice
Onelonehonky thank you!
What kind of adhesive did you use on the hand guard and tang
If I remember right I used Gorilla Glue brand 2part epoxy.
Very nice knife. How does the copper etch hold up to use. You cant beat steel and antler for a knife.
christopher ckarkson thank you!!! To be honest I’m not completely sure. I made it as a gift and I don’t know if he’s even really used it. I know it won’t just rub off but like any “show case” blade it won’t look the same after some use.
Um verdadeiro artista
Thank you! 🙏😊
Super
Thank you!
Gotta love prison tats.
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 :)
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.
MEDIC MIKE oh and my shine is kept somewhere else...😉
Very knice build brother. Thumbs up from me along with a subscribe.
Tim Johle hey thank you man!!
I can hear Crocodile Dundee now...
Kory P 😂😂😂
Hahaha. Great video, cool knoife!
Kory P thanks!! It’s for dum dum Madsen. He asked for one before his wedding when I made his best man’s. Soooo I figured he could have it as a going away
Is this a blank? Did you put your stamp on a blank?
It is! And I did! It’s a blank I made in a previous video.
@@TheHiddenHomestead made on a previous video from amazon or you forged it lol?
🤷🏼♂️ I guess you’ll have to find and watch the video. 😁👍
Nice work but would like for you to explain these steps in detail.
Thanks! I usually don’t do much talking in my videos but I’m trying a few different formats to provide more information. Thanks for the input!
Did you dip the blade into water or oil when you pulled it out of the fire?
I recently started making knives ( Christmas gifts) and for some reason it actually calms me. I have a ways to go before mine looks as good as the one you made in this video. I enjoyed watching the video and your knife came out looking great. Thanks, I will be looking for new videos. I will subscribe and hit the bell for notifications.
I used parks 50 to quench the steel in. Water won’t harden it. And as a gift is usually the only time I make knives as well. And THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and really appreciate the kind words. Stay tuned I have another knife video coming out next week! 😉👍
Looks amazing mate👍🇦🇺 for sale ? Sold? Or just keeping it?
The Big TG thank you! No it was a gift.
What an amazing gift to be able to give. Beautiful knife gifted with the gift of your time in making it. Gets no more personal than that👍 nice job🇦🇺
The Big TG 👍👍☺️☺️
Great video loved it . I'm not the safety nazi but I am a maintenance nazi. ( those channel locks could use a little help. I'm sure a little oil would make them work better. Take care of your tools ,and they will never vet you down.
Haha fare enough. Thanks!
👍👍👍🔪🔪🔪😁
Michael Robertson thank you!! 😃
Dude...
Co to máš za blbosti popísané po prstoch!?
Dúfam, že som vašu otázku správne preložil. Pýtate sa na tetovania na mojich prstoch?
Thanks for literally not explaining anything.
If you think that was great you should check out my other videos where I explain even less!
