    My 3 yr old girl will have a blast watching this one with me... ("Daddy, I want to watch Jimmy making a BIG knife" was a recurring theme a few weeks back). bzw, my kids love when you make signs too, tons of signs, with letters and numbers, yeah.

    Jimmy just a little advice, when making a knife like this.. Where the handle and blade meet, there needs to be a radius, as the square section can cause what is known as stress risers in the steel. It doesn't have to me massive just a small radius with a round file prevents this take care and keep up the great work

    • @johnsmith-sw7ii
      @johnsmith-sw7ii 8 років тому

      +Brandon Darensburg No....At 4:50 he is hardening the steel which makes it very hard and brittle. It must be reheated after this at a lower temp to temper the steel and make it less brittle. Some put it in a toaster oven at 400F for 2 hours...other guys like to heat it with a torch until a desired color appears. Opinions vary BUT MUST BE TEMPERED or it will snap. Put an old file in a vice and hit it with a hammer and you will see....file will snap right in half.
