      So, what alloy of steel did you use; what abrasive in your sandpaper; which composite or wood materials. What heat treatment, quench, and temper schedules. You could have done so much better with this video.

    This is what I was looking for! I have a diving knife whose plastic handle has disintegrated. Nothing fancy, but a shame to throw it away, but no special tools. This has inspired me to repurpose it. I have a chunk of rosewood that has been in the shed for a couple of years. Don't worry, it won't be going in the sea again... 😁

    It's not the price of the tool, it's the skill of the artist. Lovely work. What are the materials used in the three thin layers you stacked and glued with epoxy between the guard (back quillon) and the wooden handle? What are their purpose? My guess is they are leather, brass, and steel and they are just decorative? Is the guard made of brass?

    Love the blade length from handle to tip great shape only thing I would change is towards tip on back of knife I would put or make a hump so when skining with blade edge facing up the hump will slightly push tip or point away from meat and not stick into meat so easy old butchers knives if you look were like this or slightly curved

      you look at the colour. When it's cherry red you know it's between 800-900°C, which is the temperature for haderning steel.

    • @robinleebraun7739

      Use a magnet. When it no longer pulls on the hot steel, it’s hot enough. Saw that on Forged In Fire.

    • @mikafoxx2717
      @mikafoxx2717 Місяць тому

      ​@@robinleebraun7739
      This. Austenite isn't magnetic and it needs to be austenite crystals before quench. Special alloys can make it stay austenite at room temperature which is why some stainless steels aren't magnetic.
      Best to use 1084 for this process since it's the easiest and fastest to transform since there's no chrome or stuff to slow down how fast carbon gets into solution. Ideally, you normalize it before the quench heat, so you take it nonmagnetic and hotter, to almost forge temp, then air cool, then you do the nonmagnetic and quench. This step helps with steels like 80CrV2 or 5160 with some chrome in it which slows how fast it dissolves, though it also makes it not need to be quenched as fast for the same reason since it gets more easily trapped. Some steels like 1095 and w1 are water quenching, and 1084 and 5160 is fairly fast oil. Canola is a very slow oil so you'll have to have a really thin knife for it to cook fast enough in that.

    hello, i am making my first knife and got my shape cut out already. i am curious what type of oil should i use and how much of it for quenching? the blade is approximately 18cm in length

    • @mikafoxx2717
      @mikafoxx2717 Місяць тому

      Old comment, but first off, the steel type changes the quench speed. 1095 is water quench, 1084, 80crv2, 5160 are fast oil quench, O1 is slow oil quench. Most beginners use canola oil but unless you're using less than 1/8th inch it certainly won't fully harden - unless you overheated it before the quench since grain growth makes it easier to harden but kills the steel's toughness. Heat the steel up to near forging temperature, then air cool, then do it again but only until it's all just non magnetic (check often) and then immediately quench. If you've got 1095 or W1, you might have to water quench if it's thicker, be careful of how thin your bevels are cut for that. Parks 50 is what you should use, but for 1084 you can get away with canola for thin stuff, and O1 will harden easily in canola even up to ½". Heat the oil up a little past body temp before using it so it's less viscous.
      After that, temper in an oven at 350-400f, twice for an hour each with a cool in between, you can just dip it in water and put it back in if impatient. Be aware that ovens aren't super even temp and can fluctuate and temperature is more critical than time here. Doing this instead of the typical straw color temper will give you a much tougher blade even if it's harder, since you let it destress slowly at lower temp, and you temper twice since the first temper can create new untempered martensite.. it's complicated but it works.
