- Ever wanted to design a knife? Knife maker Walter Sorrells launches a series about the making of his latest blade design, the Eclipse. The series begins as Walter outlines the design of the Eclipse...including many of the surprising things that have to be considered when designing a knife. You'll be amazed at how obscure some of the factors are that have to be wrestled with! There's a lot more to it than just making something that looks cool.

Designing knives is still challenging, and the back-and-forth process in drawing the knife helps bring my ideas to life. I enjoy creating my own designs. Thank you for this learning...smiles. I like drawing the knife out, then putting it on my steel and cutting it out perfectly. After that, I make a template so I can use it again.
Fascinating video. Thank you!
Neat video. Thanks. When I tried using a computer to draw knives, all I got were shapes that looked like bananas. I have to use graph paper and French curves to make a knife drawing.
Fusion 360 has official beginner tutorials apparently. Maybe they have something in there about using the curve lines.
@@lw8882 Thanks. I will look up Fusion 360.
beautiful knife
Any knife makers out there who are comfortable with CAD, consider buying a cheap 3D printer. You can get a useable one for less than $200 or an excellent one for less than $1000.
I have a $99 3D printer and some CAD knowledge, so I can 3D print for rapid prototyping. It’s a MAJOR time saver. Designing a new knife is probably my favorite aspect of knife making, and the printer makes it so much more quick and easy.
If your doing production this is good info. I do one off commission knives and graph paper beats sitting at a computer any day!
So is this only applicable to cnc design?? Because I don’t see the need for a computer at all designing knives.
I like the concept of a fixed blade pocket knife, for daily tasks....
All you have to do is hit the green button, and CNC is cheating.
Said people who have never designed and made a knife on a CNC machine.
For video recommend using a Sony Alpha camera which has world class autofocus AI that will lock onto your closest eye.
Why not water jet?
Hi Walter, can you do a video of how to grind scallops in a chef knife ? I can't find a single UA-cam video on it
Most would be made with a mill. If you have to do it manually, you'd have to use the very edge of a tiny contact wheel and just feather in and out of the scallop shape. Maybe a rotary tool with small drums would be more accurate?
You talking about Granton scallops? Scallops that run perpendicular to the edge?
If so tye reason you don't see anyone making them is because they are useless lol
I was a professional chef for 17 years and have used multiple knives with granton scallops and they range from doing nothing, to actually increasing food stick to the blade lol
Layers... that's a question. Has anyone ever 3D printed a knife? Could it be done? Just a rando thought....
Absolutely 👍 people do it all the time
Evergy technology comes with limitations. I would guess a knife could be made via laser cintering of metal powder. It would not make a particularly strong knife.
When will "The World's Ugliest Knife" be available? 😁
With knowing through investigation most knives end up cutting the stabber. Make me a duty knife that won’t do that!!!!
And fits on a duty belt
You are close to me and I’d drive to you if you can make one that works
are your ears the result of freestyle wrestling?
You are unkind
Why is dude so negative? It is possible to give advice without shitting all over his peers. Just saying 😅
