Making a Bone Handle Knife
Вставка

- Today in the shop I am making a small knife for my daughter for a Christmas present. She and I recently were out searching for materials in the woods to make a Thanksgiving table centerpiece when we found a White Tail Deer Skeleton, including the skull with antlers. We brought the skull back to the shop, where I made a mount for it and hung it on my wall, which was also made into a recent video. I also brought back with me several leg bones with the surprise purpose in mind of using them as scales for the knife I'm making today.
This knife is made from 1/8" 1084 steel, with a blade length of 2.5 inches, and an overall length length of 6.25 inches. The handle is made from 3/32" thick black acrylic, and white tail deer leg bone, with 1/8" brass pins.
This was a great build, which turned out really nicely, and my daughter was super excited to receive it for Christmas. She will get lots of chances to use it camping and backpacking this camping season, and for years to come.
My inspiration for the size and general shape if this knife came from Joshua Gallardo. He makes some really beautiful knives, so go check him out on Instagram @gallardo_knives, and give him a follow. - Навчання та стиль

Nice build, I watched it twice. I've been a woodworker for fifty years, but my middle daughter asked me to make her a knife. I told her I didn't know how. She said UA-cam, and hung up. I've made her three, and a dozen others. She wanted a sheath. I started to tell her I wasn't a leather worker. UA-cam. I now have a leather bench in the corner of my shop, and a cowboy 3200.
Love your work.
Love it! Thanks James.
what a touching video and story. every knife has a story. your daughter is very lucky. enjoy together and thanks for sharing this experience
Hello to you, I am a hobbyist knife maker from Israel and it just amazes me how you and me uses almost the same equipment materials and techniques! Methodical and accurate work!
Good for you.
Benny
Right on! Thanks for watching
Perfectionist, say no more
U are "the art of craftsmanship ".I've learned how to heat treat by watching your videos,you're a very good instructor, God bless.WEY
I made one like that for my grandson for his tenth birthday. He'll be 21 this week, and his mom says, that is still his most prized procession...I'm still not crazy about working with "bone" for scales. Beautiful little blade. I'm working on one for one of my grand daughters now. I'm thinking about trying bamboo...
Very nice knife I'm sure your daughter will love it as much as she loves her dad .
What 17 haters couldn’t appreciate this mans unique craftsmanship and the efforts he goes through to make a meaningful gift for a love he shares with his daughter
Outstanding!!!👍👍👍🗡
D.a.d. = Dad And Daughter. I love going on hikes with my daughter as well, always seem to find something to bring home :)
You Sir, are a "Master Knife-maker"..... Beautiful Knife!
Thank you!
👍 = there is nothing left to say! Everything perfect!
Thanks!
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship 👍
Very very nice work!!!! Superb video!!
Killing it King!
Thumbs up on the knife, very nice
Thumbs up to you!
And you really don't need alot of fancy gear to make a knife when you can buy stock steel. I made my first knife using files to do the bevels. Your daughter is a lucky girl. And again enjoyed watching. And that is a very nice looking knife. Well done sir!
Awesome Christmas gift
I really like how you show your mistakes and work around's. Quality craftmanship and video's
Looks absolutely fab, she'll be thrilled with it. ATVB Malcolm 🏴
Beautiful knife you made white the bone handels. 😊 👍
Beutiful work, thanks
I love your videos!!!!!
Thanks for watching Jose!
Very nice, clean and smooth process. Enjoyed watching the video
Beautiful and functional little knife. Love the size. I find a large knife very hard to work with. 2.5 to. 4 inch is perfect for me.
Love it you got a talent
Super cool video I appreciate the information that you shared with us!! Really enjoyed it
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Fantastic.I knew about bone as handle material but never saw it done til now. Excellent as is filming and editing. A great knife.
Thank you Nick! I, and my daughter, love the look of the bone. And thank you for the compliment on the video. Devon works hard bring the quality every time.
An idea....since handles are a hold point for bacteria, make a one piece series especially for skinning and processing. I used to use a universal one piece in the back wilds. They can be fire steriLized in the back wilds by using the campfire. Done right you don't lose temper or hardening. I have seen some with paracord for quick removal before skinning the steriLized and reapply the cord for other uses. I for one would love to see a vid..thanx...May you feet be sure upon the trail and your campfire warm and of course, may your trail tales be true!
Good job. Nice to see you using spacer material. Next time try using mosiac pins as well as buff out that bone with some knife polish from Jantz supply or Ebay. The best thing about that knife you made for your daughter is she will hand that down for decades to your grandchildren. Nothing beats that!
One buetiful knife, hopefully everyone likes this 🗡️ beautiful!
Very interesting video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely beautiful. I ran into you to get an idea for a simple knife sheath. Then I saw you started making a knife with bone handles and my interest just kept growing. Always wanting to make a knife, you presented a fairly simple process for me to use for my first knife from scratch. I hope it turns out even half as knife as yours. I too like small knives, so I am excited to see how this turns out. I have worked in all these mediums since I was a kid. My main skillset is a leather smith which I have been doing regularly since 1970 so I have been at it for a while. I was lucky enough to go to an inner city school in Baltimore City back in the 1960's where for the boys, all forms of "shop" were required. Leather, wood, plastics, and metals. I got to run a metal lathe and learned to make a welders hammer with a threaded and knurled handle, case hardened flat & sharp ends on the head. It was quite an experience but best off it woke up that thinking of the possibilities of all those mediums and methods. Though I picked leather as my main skill set, I kept active in metals for much of the time as well, which is why your video fascinated me. I will be looking at many more of your videos and hope to learn much from you in the future. BTW, I think I saw you grinding the dear bone without a mask. I spent years not using protection on my ears and lungs but, dear bone and most other bones are very toxic and should not be breathed in. You should make it a rule to NEVER grind or make any types of 'bone dust' without a good respirator. Thanks again for your willingness to share your skills. Maybe I can pass on some of my leather skills to you one day. Thanks again, Frank t/a Red Oak Leathers
I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks
Very nice! I’m sure she’ll really treasure it!
Thank you Seth.
Cool !!!! Brother

Thanks Juraj. I will. 😁👍🏼
I loved it. It's awesome that you made your daughter such a nice knife.
You seem like such a good person. I love watching your content, it's so wholesome!
Thank you so much. She loves it.
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship I am glad to hear it :)
The man does this for a living, he knows what he is doing. How about all the experts commenting the correct way make a video and show how it's done.
The president is the president for a living, and is even elected. He does his job bad. We will criticize him and not be looked down on for it.
Well done. love the black liner used for the bone base.
Awesome work thanks for the video
Awesome! Too much talent!!!
I believe your supposed to boil the bones really good. It takes all of the smelly marrow out and there shouldn't be any smell after. I saw a few people do it this way in the past. I dont know what type of solution they used to boil them but it always turned out very white and clean. A little food for thought!
Wow great knife.
Beautiful work. You might be able to avoid that warp if you don't lay the knife on it's side against cold steel anvil between heat treatment.
Great little bit knife. Enjoyed watching.
I liked it so much I subscribed
Beautiful little knife and very informative video for wannabe knifemakers like myself great job and thank you
Wow, what a work of art, such a special present as well. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, Jules, Droitwich, England
Awesome thanks for sharing. I also seen video where you made three cases for the knives, including case for your little girl. You are a great teaching your kids about nature and taking them camping. You are making great memories for them, keep it up buddy.
Awesome knife Dad of the year award thanks for sharing Takecare
Great video.
Nice to see someone else that sands the radeii the way I do. Beautiful knife
Thanks Lisa!
Nice build. Pop’s knife supplies makes some really nice clamps for drill odd shaped handle material like bone and stag.
Thank you.
Yeah I saw one that allowed you to clamp the scale below and index your drill hole from behind the scale basically. Neat jig
👍💕🇬🇧 a wonderful present for your daughter
Very cool man
Just finished customizing a bayonet 12 inch blade real slim and razor sharp no shine, used A brilliant gun blue. Copper inlay with leather outer. I customize cutlery and work with leather to make something truly custom for friends thank you for the video.🕶"
Beautiful
Very nice video and great work.
A top tip when working with natural bone: boil it for about an hour in a mixture of water and chlorine (roughly 20 parts water 1 part chlorine or stronger if you please).
This will whiten the bone a bit, but most importantly it will draw out most of the fats within the bone itself so that it will not start to smell and brown after a while. It also helps somewhat on the unbearable smell while working with it ;-)
i use bakingsoda instead of chlorine and that works too , and after that i dip it in hydrogen peroxide and let in be in the sun to whiten
Awesome!
Amaizing work 👍🏼
Thanks so much BKR!
Fantastic workmanship
Hayrına Bi tane gönder.
Aşık oldum sanat eserine
exquisite.
Beautiful knife 👌
May I suggest cleaning the bone, shaping it, then drop it in a mason jar of wood hardener, suck the air out with a brake bleeder, when the bubbles stop coming out of the bone, should be good to go. Nice work, what I enjoy about your videos is the joy you get from the project.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been looking into making a stabilizing system.
Beautiful work 👍
Great video, thank you.
schön ! Tolle Arbeit.
You can fix a warp also by clamping your steel to some flat bar when you temper it . Helps me out a lot. Good video, thanks.
Turned out awesome!
nice clamp arrangement!
Turned out great, nice job.
Thanks
Very Cool knife
That’s a beautiful little knife, that will give your daughter many years of service. Now you need to make a nice leather sheath for it.
I would like to point out that I was happy to see you wearing a respirator while cutting metal. You and your viewers should be reminded that a respirator must be worn while cutting and especially sanding bone. Once in the lungs, the damage has been done. It can cause Emphysema and cancer. I'm not an alarmist either. I'm someone who watched a loved one die from breathing in metal and bone dust after years of knife making. Respirators can be purchased on eBay for less than $10.00. 3M makes some very good and inexpensive half masks and replacement filters can be found on there fairly inexpensive as well. The knife came out beautifully.
CrossGrain Wood Products,LTD thanks for your comment.
man you could boil the bones with dish detergent before using also stabilize the bone before use bugs can live in that raw bone for quite a while
Absolutely fantastic Bone knife !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet knife build and the fact that you and your daughter found the leg bones, together is a real plus! It's a knife I'm sure she will get lots of use from and she will remember when and where the scales were found and that it was a time that the two of you spent together.
I love the fact that you are a dad that does a lot with your children! THAT is something I wish all children had, time with their fathers that they will remember their whole lives! KUDOS!!
nice work.....impressive
definitely be sure to wear a mask when cutting/grinding bone. there's alot of bad stuff that can be trapped in there.
You have amazing skill and I love your videos. I look forward to the sheath video.
beautiful little knife
I have never used 1084 I think I will give it a try. I use 1095, but mostly O1, and CPM154.
wow beautiful knife
On the Art of Craftmanship channel, making a bone handle knife you should always wear a breathing containment system when cutting,sanding or grinding bone or antler. Can be very harmful to breath dust.
you should make more videos, great work
Looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. I actually found this video after finding some deer bones out hiking with my kids
Careful work, produce a beautiful piece ... Well done
It looks great. real good work👍.

I agree 100%. Thanks.
Love your work, I'm learning a lot !
