Hey! Pause the video at 9:10 See the temper colors? K720 steel is still hard (50 HRC) when tempered at 400°c. At this temperature the color of steel is between light blue and grey, meaning all the edge is still plenty hard for a knife. Perhaps only the very bottom tip has gone over so let's say I ruined about 5mm of edge hardness 😜 does it really make any difference? Feel free to check the steel datasheet if you like: www.bohler-edelstahl.com/en/products/k720/
I was gonna say, those are some pretty temper colors but it didn't look like it affected the edge - the casting sand did its job as an insulator and heat sink. It *did* get alarmingly high up, though, enough to make me fearful.
What happens if you quench or contact-cool the blade at 400 degrees? Does that help or hurt the edge or turn it a bluish color? I never tempered anything before.
@@Sahtzor if it's only the first cm of the blade, it's not awful. it's not great and it's not something anybody would give to a customer, but the rest of the blade might've stayed hard
If there’s something I’ve learnt over a lifetime, it is to never argue with your younger self, and never question your younger self. That guy did something in a specific way for a reason, and he got you to where you are today. So you ought to give him a little more credit. 😉
For those wondering if he ruined the temper of the blade. Not really, the area that changed in color really isn't the primary "working" part of the edge. With that being said, these are just novelty pieces for his collection and he understands that even though they wont be used, why not have fun heat treating them? I think both are awesome and I really want to start some casting projects.
@@LethalByChoice I just realized youre sort of right; I have accidentally tempered knives to blue but found out if the blade is very hard from the quench even turning it blue/purple can leave it still very hard and sometimes Ive even had to temper it some more to get it softer. But the colors do always mean the metal got softer even if not to the point of ruined temper.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting from the old knife, but I actually preferred it! Nothing against your current design, I just loved the design of the old one. I like watching you work though, you make a point of not being a professional X Y or Z yet you keep learning new skills and showing your progression. It's really satisfying to watch.
It's been fun to watch your evolution. It's been awhile since you've cast and I found myself enjoying watching you make this knife as much as I did the "original." Thanks.
I wonder what a fully freakin' aggressive zombie knife would be like... a light saber with a chainsaw edge? And with an eye poppin' laser? And a 5.0 desert eagle gun on top? And a bear trap shooter? Oh, and a retractable humongous wooden hammer...
All the master craftsmen with the "You wrecked the temper" comments. IT IS AN ART PIECE NOT A FUNCTIONAL WEAPON. Pretty sure he understands the tempering is ruined as he knows what he is doing. But I bet if used as a weapon it would still kill or remove limbs perfectly fine. Do you know even in the bronze age, the softer metal of the weapons made in those days would still remove limbs and heads perfectly well. Ruined temper or not, it is still a piece of art, and lovely too.
excellent work! The new one definately has that "zombie slasher" look! They are both works of art in there own rite, but i love the smooth organic look of the old one! It's got to be a lot lighter too, keep the awesome videos comming!
Now that came out gorgeous, you are ready for the zombie apocalypse! It's really nice to see how you've progressed over the years, it must make you extremely proud of yourself, I'm impressed!
it turned out to be cool, of course, but the molten brass (well, or whatever it was) greatly heated the cutting part of the blade and this, to put it mildly, will not have a good effect on its properties
Wow. I saw your comment on epic workshops channel so I thought I would check your channel out and I'm glad I did 😃. It is a brilliant knife you have made! 👊👏🗡
It will bend easily rite in front of the Handel the aluminum would probably work beter doesn't have to be as hot but it shure looks like it would do the job if you could cast the Handel separate it would be beter
Awesome work, as always. But I have a question, if anyone can help me out: when you cast the brass directly into the knife, don't you kind of ruin the heat treatment? Or you use brass specifically because it melts in a lower temperature that woudn't ruin the hardness of the blade? Just a thought. Tks
@WungusBill I watched a Ruana knives vid and they poured their molten aluminum onto the handles with the blades resting in a tub of water thereby staying cool, the mold kept the alum. from running past handle. BB could have poured his handle before heat treatment and then by wrapping a wet cloth over handle taped on with heat resistant tape, holding just blade in fire, then quenching, then rest just blade on a red hot flat piece of metal until it tempers to golden. Handle will be safe.
@WungusBill it works, Ive done it many times, if you have a round forge like mine you can hold to where just the blade is in the heat, a torch would be great too i bet, the wet rag will still be wet altho maybe singed when finished.
Always check local laws regarding melee and concealed weapons, when purchasing and or carrying same, as different things may be illegal in different locales. Brass knuckles for instance, are illegal in some states, as are things like throwing stars, and caltrops. Some states disallow slingshots, blow guns, et cetera. Just something to be aware of. As I said, always check local laws. Cheers.
So I’m curious, what happens to the temper when you pour the molten copper on to the blade? I’ve been wanting to skip having to drill and file out then pommel a blade with knuckles and do this method but that’s my major concern is messing up the temper
I’m gonna put this question in Italian so there’s no misunderstanding … thank you google translate…. “l'ottone/bronzo fuso non influenzerebbe la tempra della lama, versando il manico in quel modo?” Beautiful piece as always, my friend. 👍🏼😈👍🏼
It's an art piece he stated. Not a knife with a perfect temper. Though I do believe that "It WILL KEEEEELL" lol I also think that you could heat and harden and temper once again after the handle is poured to have a better more consistent hardening.
I wonder why he goes through the trouble to harden and then temper the blade if 1) it’s just an art piece and 2) it’s just going to be ruined by the casting of the handle? Something doesn’t make sense.
@@vincedibona4687 Absolutely correct. Heat treating an art piece takes it from art piece to functional knife. Destroying the heat treat just seems like ignorance to thermal effects on steel. He could have just said it was art from the beginning and not heat treated it at all and it would have made sense. And on top of that put less wear onto his tooling with hardened and tempered steel.
Serious question- if these types are just “art pieces” then why harden and temper them at all? Especially when you yourself knows the temper is ruined when you cast the handles. Just leave that step out? I don’t know…
@@BlackBeardProjects I'd be interested in seeing some hardness files used near the tang, you can see the temper colours going up the blade. I find it hard to understand how it would still be hardened past those colour changes.
It's funny because one of your project (I think it was "lost wax casting") motivated me to make my own metal furnance and try brass casting.. I failed lol. Everybody who ever tried metal casting knows, how hard it is. Good model and the mold is the key. You made great job then and now- two part mold is big improvement comparing to the lost form, but I think you used this technique first time on Quillon Dagger, right? Those knives are real Zombie Killers 😁!
After slashing paper - and this is something customary, as far as I may judge - you should have sliced a couple of vegetab… oh, I forgot that it's a zombie knife… OK then, just paper is OK. 😀
Perfect knife! By the way I've got old ham-made knife, which was buyed many years ago. wooden handle of knife began to break. Which wood I need to use for fix it by myself?
Cool looking knife, but you'd probably want something longer with a sharp point to puncture skulls for killing zombies. Slash damage not going to slow down zombies unless you're able to slash through skull.

Hi b b ..
AWESOME!!!! Can you make me a custom knife? Your work is GREAT!!!

Feel free to check the steel datasheet if you like:
www.bohler-edelstahl.com/en/products/k720/
Come on, 50 HRC isnt hard at all, knives become usable around >= 55
I was gonna say, those are some pretty temper colors but it didn't look like it affected the edge - the casting sand did its job as an insulator and heat sink. It *did* get alarmingly high up, though, enough to make me fearful.
Make my way to 1000 please 🙏🏻 🥺

The sound of it cutting though the paper is super unique and satisfying
Shhhhing!
My thoughts exactly
I love the blade shape on the new one, that thick angular finish is really pleasing to the eye
makes a great handle casting and a perfect Clowns shoe :-)
8:51
Thank you. Here's to another 5 years!
Brilliant! I was told I wasn't allowed an aggressive zombie knife so thos moderately aggressive one is perfect

Pretty much, and just because the color changed doesn't mean the temper changed.
@@LethalByChoice that is all it means.

"They will never see the light of day" Until the zombie apocalypse that is... 🧟♂️
AMAZING! love a black beard copper casting video 🤍 killing it as usual Gader
Another beautiful creation. I always love watching the process of how you make/restore things. Very well done!!
It's been fun to watch your evolution. It's been awhile since you've cast and I found myself enjoying watching you make this knife as much as I did the "original." Thanks.
Great video! The pour of the copper came out perfect! Very cool, nice job. 👍🏻
Thanks brother! Appreciated

If it’s to be ruined, then why harden and temper it to begin with?
Beautiful show piece, that's for sure.
Very pretty blade. I couldn't stop thinking about the ruined heat treatment and the marks the cast left on the blade x.x

Mi mancano i bei vecchi tempi in cui testavi l’affilatura della lama sui peli di braccia e gambe... 🪒😁
Beautiful work.
Looks like more confortable on hands the aluminium knife. Thanks to share with all your work.
They both look really nice
I remember watching that video, it was my favorite. I watched it like 20 times. This dude is awesome
If i only had a fraction of your talent :)
You've become one of my forever youtubers i'll sub to, so entertaining!
Thank you for the videos :)
Definitely a step up, been cool to see you progress over time. Wish nothing but the best for you.
Always fun to watch especially at 3AM when I can't sleep....thanks
Awesome knife man! Really got a good laugh at the art piece quote at the end 😂
Got to put that in there to cover your back side from the G-men
Nice little Post-apocalyptic EDC 🤣 Love that Shling sound
‘Moderately’ aggressive? That knife IS aggression itself. Fantastic work.
Never seen a zombie use such a knife, but cool concept.
That new zombie apocalypse knife is freaking MEAN!
very sharp knife, I like that you made this knife !!!
Very cool projects! The original one looks like it would be more comfortable to hold, while I like the spikes on the new version.
Beautiful work as always.
Absolutely incredible 👍 loved the casting.
Amazing project, turned out perfect.
Love your videos brother, you have a bunch of unique inspiring ideas that I'd like to try
Preferisco cose tradizionali e meno fantasy, però bel lavoro. Il rame fuso ha sicuramente compromesso la tempra della lama in prossimità del tallone
Reminds me of the brass knuckle swords from the show Revolution.
That looks awesome. I could use something like that while traversing my city at night.
Both Knives are VERY nice !! With time comes experience and experience has made you a expert craftsman !! I really like both knives !! 👍👍
Now that came out gorgeous, you are ready for the zombie apocalypse! It's really nice to see how you've progressed over the years, it must make you extremely proud of yourself, I'm impressed!
Pretty mean looking. Good job.
"These will never see the light of day."
Unless there's a zombie apocalypse, of course!
This will never see the light of day…unless there’s a zombie apocalypse
You are an artist
Beautiful knife, great job Sir.
They will never see the light of day......until there is a Zombie Apocalypse!
it turned out to be cool, of course, but the molten brass (well, or whatever it was) greatly heated the cutting part of the blade and this, to put it mildly, will not have a good effect on its properties
Термообработка сказала "досвидонья"
@@euborg13 именно так !
Ready for the apocalypse. Good.!!!
No way you didn't fook up your heat treatment!
Sweet knuckle buster !!
deras
did you see a brass shoes in 8:51 😂😂
Beautiful work.... Both of them.
Keep up the fantastic work sir.
Stay safe and healthy out there 👍👍
Like the WW2 fighting knife 👌
Wow. I saw your comment on epic workshops channel so I thought I would check your channel out and I'm glad I did 😃. It is a brilliant knife you have made! 👊👏🗡
Hello Black Beard beautiful knife good job well done
Wouldn’t the casting completely ruin the heat treatment on the part of the blade close to the tang?

The temper is completely shot towards the heel of the cutting edge. Great blade regardless.
Yes, you can tell by the discolouration that the heat treat is completely shot.

Damn good job.
Badass Zombie Knife !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serious question- if these types are just “art pieces” then why harden and temper them at all? Especially when you yourself knows the temper is ruined when you cast the handles. Just leave that step out? I don’t know…
The temper is fine. I'll never make a knife that is not hard and sharp 😉

"these will never see the light of day."
One has dried zombie blood on the blade.
:P
Hahaha the piece you cut off of the handle looks like olive oyls shoe from the popeye cartoons

Based on the American ww1 trench knife design. Didn't need fictional zombies as an excuse 100+ years ago
After slashing paper - and this is something customary, as far as I may judge - you should have sliced a couple of vegetab… oh, I forgot that it's a zombie knife… OK then, just paper is OK. 😀
i really like your job friend 👏👏
Incredible skill bro. 👍
Cool knife!
Blade is going to dull fast with all them zombs
Copper?
I am not a pro at this but blade must be getting hot while grinding and polishing like that. Wouldn't it mess up the heat treatment?
Perfect knife! By the way I've got old ham-made knife, which was buyed many years ago. wooden handle of knife began to break. Which wood I need to use for fix it by myself?
Superbe couteau, mais la chaleur du bronze en fusion ne risque pas de diminuer l’effet de la trempe de ce la lame ?
The little one 😍
I have seen pictures of trench knives from WWI that look like that
Hello and thx for your works. What kind of tool you use at 10 minutes ?
realy cool!
We use that knife for zombie defense for just in case.
Ild love to own them both but the old one more
It bothers me that you burned the blade while casting, but, overall, your skills are apparent, BB.
Nice job.
Video has priority. Everything else is secondary
Cool looking knife, but you'd probably want something longer with a sharp point to puncture skulls for killing zombies. Slash damage not going to slow down zombies unless you're able to slash through skull.
that's the intensely aggressive zombie knife
Rip heattreat after the casting.
Didn’t you need to retemper the blades after pouring the handle?
Plz show us all the weapon collection of yours
Won't the casting ruin the heat treatment?
It could be the temperature wasn't too high but i don't know
You probably quinched the first knife in the very same oil!! 😁😂
Cool!
