what is liquid in 10:20 ? thanks
it's ferric chloride
Looks like grape syrup "pekmez" 😋
Ha, it may look like grape syrup on the video, but you definitely don't want to drink it!
Ferric chloride is a strong acid. FYI.
the function??
I have no idea what I’m doing but self-quarantine brought me here and I enjoyed all 12 minutes of this.
I am also here becouse of quarantine😂
Covid-19 bringing random UA-cam videos and unexpected awesome together
Same here! This is interesting stuff. The person has talent. Indeed work of art.
Yep, me as well

This is the video that started it all...my obsession with knife making. You made a beautiful piece there. My first file knife was very rough, but it’s a file from my wife’s grandfather’s tool box and it’s definitely a keeper! I made a grinding jig like yours and copied many other techniques from your video to make our keepsake. Now I have an anvil and a new grinder and my knife making shop is progressing... I have you to thank for this new way to be a maker at 70 years old!
Salute to you sir..I am 49 and finally getting my first 2x72 ....Cannot Wait!!!!......Never to Old...Cheers!!
I gotta start posting video's based on the comments people present for well intentioned, but mediocre work like this, I could be making a fortune. Now get yourself a forging press, and a power hammer so you can speed up your work and make damascus (pattern welded is the real name), etc... then you will be real happy.....Plus get a second 2x72, one for hard profiling, and hollow grinds, etc...the other for your saber and flat grinds, and small wheel work....Saves a lot of time from changing belts, and tooling arms, and some grinders have options others do not. When you start buying steel instead of using old files, you will want a decent band saw, much better than cutting it all slowly with an angle grinder, good drill press of course you likely have that, and you need a post/leg vice and some good heavy duty and small duty vices and clamps all over the damn place cuz you will use them.....but the blacksmith post vice is a must, as you can hit it like an anvil pretty much, and much better for doing certain bends or twists if making damascus, or even art work
i'm 26 and these types of videos got me started at 24 making knives and swords

For more than a year I've been looking for a process like yours. It got really beautiful, just the inspiration I needed to try one here as well. Thank you and congratulations for your work!
I love this design. Keeping some of the file's soul adds a lot of character to it.

Also has utility
Guys, he uploaded this file of himself using a file to file a file.
I'd like to file a case against this pun
*I used the file, to file a file*
Nice
Well, it seems UA-cam filed this uploaded file of a guy filing his file with another file under the archive files. UA-cam sure does love filing uploaded files.
@@ParanointDE they called me a madman
Kinda funny watching you file a file. Amazing job seriously beautiful.
Is it too possible I can learn this power?
I used the files to file the files
this power.... its.... inhuman.
I used The File to file the file
it’s called ironic
This is godlike. I'm not talking about your crafting skills, I'm talking about your sense of aesthetics and perception of how such an object would make an out of this world knife.
I especially love the way you kept some of the rough file's design on the new sharp blade
There's something VERY clean and sleek about this blade. What a finished product!!
I know it's beautiful I have issues getting clean lines with my 1x30
“I used the file to file a file

Was looking for this one
Your mind have been defiled
@@kaibaman7767 same
Was looking for this wanted to write the same thing lmao
I like the fact that he refines it even though he doesn't really have to. It not only shows his skill but adds a touch of class to the work.
Your lines and attention to detail is second to none . Clean and absolutely stunning . Art but with a razor sharp edge
Being stabbed, I imagine, is already unpleasant. Imagine being filed at the same time....OUCH
I was looking for this comment thank you
The police will definitely file anyone who uses this to stab and file a person
yikes that friction would burn your skin offfff
@@eddyhoopin no it wouldn’t, I doubt it would do anything more then provide a mild friction burn equivalent to carpet burn.
I doubt it would do much tbh, the friction will stop the blade from going as deep as it otherwise would be able to
One the most elegantly simple designs I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work.
I love that you kept the file checkering. Beautifully done 🎉
So far, this is still the best knife i've seen. So classy and manly.
manly 🤣
“manly” jeez you’re fragile
@@alwyngalvez4704 what do you mean fragile
@@alwyngalvez4704 beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't exactly call it manly, but it does look pretty cool
The whole video " i used files to akke a knife out of a file
Sandpaper has to be one of most important inventions ever made
Ikr its so convenient and makes life so much better and easier
And belt sanders makes things even way more easier
Who else was disappointed that we never saw him test it out
Not until you mentioned it 😁
Same
Saaaaame
I was but cool video nonetheless👌
Files are very brittle. If it fell to the floor it would break, same with some force, especially on the thinner side
Epic I love the fact that you kept part of the old file showing it looks so cool. I've seen another maker do but at the end you couldn't even tell it used to be a file pointless. I'm glad you did yours looks sweet.
ik it's annoying when youtubers make a knife or something like that out of something else, but they just melt it down, there's literally no point
Yes, the knife is an amazing finished piece and a piece I would be totally proud of! But what is refreshing to see, is all the positive comments on here!!! 👍🏻
I've wanted to make knives for years but have never got started this video sparked that interest again, you have got some serious skill👍
Well, I guess it's time to forge ahead...hah!
Files like this benefit from having their teeth ground off and then some forging before grinding.
There’s something satisfying as a guy that works with his hands and has an appreciation for every tool. To see the time put into this and imagine the new life breathed into a potentially worn tool so that tool lives on to provide use well into the future is amazing. Very beautiful knife and one I would be proud to have in my workshop if I was capable of making one. Damascus has its beauty, this is a beauty of a whole different level.
Such a good idea! I have a ton of old files lying around.
I like how you kept the actual File Part by the Back of the Blade.
This adds some nice Contrast to it, actually even some kind of a Personality.
...This exactly why Smithing isn't just a Craft, but an Art, because you take something and transform into the Vision on your Mind instead of just producing a product.

I like how you turned this file into a knife, but it still can be used as a file...wise!
For such a simplistic design it came out really well.
Leaving part of it with the file still there is brilliant. Perfect knife. I would rock that thing all day.
BRITAIN WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
While I like how much work the man has put in to that file, I disagree with leaving half the blade as course as it was. I imagine using that knife to actually cut things would result in many things getting stuck on the ridges of the old file.
@@keksitzee1094 It's a combat weapon. Of course you want those things to happen. It would cause way more damage. And, I'm a knife collector, unless you're cutting something like cheese or other food, nothing would get stuck in there. If you're using it for camping reasons, then it's just as good because you'll have a file and a knife. And, what would you cut that would get stuck in there? If you're cutting things with a knife like that, that would have pieces getting stuck in it, then you're probably not using it right.
Console MonsterX As a knife collector, you should know better. This couldn’t be a combat knife as it has no quillon to stop the hand sliding onto the blade when used for stabbing.
@@PapaKiloProductions Well you don't seem to know much about knives. There are literally thousands of knives and swords that are built for combat that have no type of hand guard what so ever. Look at almost all real switch blades. Most of them have nothing. They are straight handles with a switch. The blade comes out of the top and that's it. That's the knife. And they are meant to be used for combat. They aren't hunting or camping blades. Of course not all of them are like that. Look at some Japanese swords that have no guard so that they are flush with the sheath. Look at the kukri. Just because it's not a perfect design doesn't mean it's not a combat knife. Look at most folding knives. Same thing. I have a bunch of knives that don't have any hand protection. Shit, look at the balisong. Sorry bud. You're wrong.

Damn. That was a great design and slick work. Wow. Respect.
Incredible craftsmanship. You have made something both beautiful and functional.
My grandfather made a couple from 1940’s files. I use them as my hunting knives, crazy sharp!

great vid on how to make a knife out of that old file!! very nice indeed!! standing by for some more vids.....
Probably one of The best file to knife video's I've seen to date. Great job and the detailing is very good on the handles.
This video is so enjoyable, even more at 3 A.M.
Beautiful! I love the original cross hatching on the blade, really adds to the look.
I found several very old rusty files at a deserted farm out bush in qld Australia.
I've had them for years, now I'll cinvert them.
Thanks, great vid !
Well deserving to be 'filed away' to save them from being forgotten.
A great recycling!
This is strangely mesmerising and relaxing to watch

What a great piece of work turning it into a lovely looking knife.
I’m so glad to have found your videos, you’re my number one inspiration! Fantastic craftsmanship and always beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of black knife in this channel, i love it
I actually bought this knife from him. The finish is absolutely lovely.
I adore this knife . I'd very much like to buy one .
I after watching this file come to life as something else much more beautiful .
I went and purchased some files a grinder and set to work . My enthusiasm masked my lack of patience and eye for detail .
I've shelved the project as it started to look like a blind man had been working on it with his feet .
Stradavarius made violins , you make knives and I make myself weary . Touche sir
Now THAT is a beautiful knife!!!
I like how it is still usable as a file :)
Actually yes lol
Does that mean it can sharpen it's self? 😁

Just got me into trying to make a knife , you did a amazing job hope mine comes out this nice
While having to work 60 hours a week ,leaving little time for hobbies and free time to do stuff like this, I'm lucky enough to be able to watch others doing it on UA-cam, on my lunch break. 😁😭
How much you get paid for working 60 hours?
You turn knifesmithing into an art. The lanyard hole took it over the top. Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Looks great, thank you for sharing.
The file teeth look great on that blade, very cool project.
Watching these "how-to" videos I find are so relaxing and satisfying.
John Do the is not a how to video, because it does not expect you to do it. He is just showing off his work
best part is you can still file with it
Dont think so its tempered after hardening so its not hard enough to file with it.
There are other materials than steel. But good point.
Genki G yeah true... for softer materials it will still work fine
Gotta polish them nails bruv
Guys, if you see a hot girl polishing her nails with one of these, please, for the love of god, run! Run fast and run far.
Не знаю сколько раз UA-cam рекомендовал это видео, но всегда смотрю, очень красивый нож получился)
Beautiful, loved it ty for sharing. Really nice I want to build my own one day.
When he files the file does the file file the file or does the file file the file?
WTF
Soo the file file the file knife, so basically the file on the other file is useless cause its already grinded, so the file file the file without the file filing the file
Edit: at this point file doesnt feel like a word anymore
@@fabian_azf haha ikr

Fucking stolen
Your craftmanship is top notch I can't believe how amazing that turned out. good job. 👍
What an amazing finish ❤️
If got 6or7 floating around here in my collection. A member of the Mississippi knife makers guild was making these in the 1990s.....great knife blade material
I love that you kept the original file surface on the sides the blade above the bevel - that's a really cool design element that creatively shows off what the knife started out as. 👍👍👍
It might cause a problem with cutting anything thicker than the knife. I’d personally prefer a smooth finish, but it‘s not that much of an issue
Knife looks beautiful & and it looks like we can use it as knife & file; nice idea! Thank you !
Looks great but using it will leave is not preferable. Just imagine meat and veggies sticks if used in the kitchen.
@@ismailtopa3671 but that would not be a kitchen knife. Or be in the kitchen.
Doesn’t look like u can use in a fight with that grip looks like u cut your hand
I was thinking to use it in kitchen purpose, bcos we sharpen the knife often in kitchen !
Also very Polished
Absolutely beautiful end product.
Wow, looks great! Nice job!
Loved it. Love how you kept the filing part. Just loved it
Made it look very nice and unique by leaving the file part. Makes me want one. I hsve the file. Just need the tools, patience and skill.
Who else watched the whole thing because it was so satisfying 😂😂 😂
Best looking knife, I’ve ever seen!!!
Softest hands + smartest ideas = hardest stuff ... Great work hats off...
Excellent job, different, but still a beautiful piece.
