Sacco Knives
Канада
Добавлен 18 мар 2020
Hey whats up!
My names Julian Sacco, I live in Toronto and I’m a knifemaker slash maker of whatever crazy thing I can imagine. I have no professional training, so most of what you see here is a product of trial and error and countless broken blades. Most of my work gets posted on my Instagram, occasionally here. Hope to see you around, cheers!

Finishing A Chef Knife And Saya Combo
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Месяц назад
I really got into the details on this piece. I put a super cool shattered carbon fiber resin handle that I've been holding on to for some time, I matched the facets of the handle with the saya, and the pin with the butt details on the knife handle. Overall I'm super pleased with the outcome of this one, especially having never made a saya before. Thanks for watching! instagram; saccoknives webs...

So this one didn't go exactly as planned, but sometimes that's just the way it goes. Either way I was still able to make something out of it and I think that's the important part here, it can be super easy to get discouraged but it's important to move past that and make the best of it.

Forging A Gyuto

A full look at one of my forged knives. I'm still fairly new to the process but I'm happy with how far I've come. I decided to add a live edge burl piece for the handle to add to that overall textured feel along with the brute de forge blade. Super thrilled with how this one came together in the end.

Finishing Up Some Forged Knives

These are my first two forged knives that were actually for sale. Before this I hadn't sold any because I wanted to make sure whatever left my shop was the best product I could put out. With the help from my friend Steve I was able to complete these two knives. Unfortunately things don't always work out though! That's okay, we try again! Thanks for checking it out!

Although good results can be achieved using both with a little bit of practice and patience. The end goal of this video is to show you that there is multiple work arounds and ways to complete one task. Try a few different things and find what yo...

This was a pretty neat little knife that I made for a customer. Its some kind of bunka style santoku thing?? I'm not sure what to call it but its damn cool. We decided to throw a clip point on it which I'm very please with, and I'd love to take this design to a full size chefs knife at some point.

Making a camp knife (with some tips and tricks!)
WOW!!!! On one hand you really inspire me!! On the other hand, you create such incredible ART that if makes me want to hang up my tools and take up knitting because I'll never be the artist that you are!!! Just incredible !!!
Haha thanks! But don’t give up!
Nice! How about a shop tour next?
I could definitely do something like that. Although my shop is very very small so it would be quite a short video lol
@@saccoknives That would be great. I think most makers are in a shed or in some shared garage.
thanks a lot for the golden tip
Gotchu
Good to see you leaning into it digimon
Bit of Philly cheese epoxy holds this handles STRONG 💪 😅
nice one, big hug from brazil
🫂
Where do you get the stencils for your makers mark and what device are you using to create this? How do start the thumb groove in the handle?
Man I’ve been making knives for a few years now and I’ve gotten more value out of your videos than probably anything else I’ve come across. You do an awesome job man
I’m so glad to hear that 🙏🏼 if one person gets any value out of my videos than I’ve done what I’ve set out to do. Glad they’re helping you on your knife making journey 👊🏼
So whats the sharpening angle for these chef knives? Thx
Clean rig
All those facets are super difficult. Well done
Thanks!
Supurb detail and work!
can u make a small and tall chef knife
Yep I don’t see why not
What did you put on the brass parts?
Incredible work 👍👍
Thanks!
Start out with thinner wood. Easier to get a thinner saya without a lot of sanding.
Save yourself a tonne of time.
Small enough to handle what you want to do in a saya.
"Forging". Tbh could have saved yourself a lof of time by simply cutting the shape out right away.
I don’t think you understand the concept of forging…
@@saccoknives And what is the concept that makes what I've written untrue? You took a flat piece of steel, heated it a few times, hit it with a hammer a few times and then used angle grinder to get a shape that looked nothing like your "forged" product. For me, personally, "Forging" is a bit of a clickbait in this case.
@@GohanSama stretched a piece of steel, forged in distal tapers in both directions, it all ads a level of uniqueness and character to the final piece. Forging is simply a different way of making a knife. It’s also a way to get more out of your steel by stretching the material.
@@saccoknives You talk about "getting more out of your steel" and then you cut a shitload of it away with an angle grinder. Your grinding skills are top. Your forging needs work. Technically, this knife went through a forge, but I would not call this a forged knife.
@@GohanSama I’m afraid you still don’t understand. And that’s okay
Respect 👍 How many rpm does he run initially bevel grinding?
is it better to fit up a bolster like this or to forge one in? Awesome piece and video!
Like an integral you mean? Forging an integral is a completely different sort of technique, much more difficult than the route I’ve taken here in my opinion. It comes down to personal preference really
Handmade precision! Very nice.
Very good indeed
Nice work ! How did you make that glossy finish on blade after etch and stonewash ?
I think it’s probably just the oil I put on the blade that gives it that appearance
Handle is so Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
Exzellente Arbeit!!! Du arbeitest sehr überlegt und konzentriert ❤❤❤❤❤
Great Video, helpful
Thanks!
That's a very nice knife. Before final glue-up, do you take any steps to remove the wax left behind in the handle from the bedding step? I have concerns about that left behind wax inhibiting the bond between the epoxy and tang in the final glue-up. Nobody seems to be concerned with that, so maybe I'm just too pessimistic.
I usually go back in there with files to rough up the side, but honestly I don’t think there’s enough wax in there to mess with the final glue up
Beautiful work. Just found the channel!
Will you fill the hole on the handle with resin? Or is it intended to be rustic finish?
I left it on purpose. Liked the way it looked
The knife looks really cool...almost like some black ink spilled across the blade intentionally
Wow!
Beautiful!
Question since I love hand sanding as much as the next guy. Has anyone thought to take the cheap Chinese 1x6 diamond 400 or 600 grit stones and hand sand with those to speed up the process? Then hand sand to satin with the rhinowhet to 800 grit or so?
there exists such a thing. I know of Falcon Sanding Stones that makes some and I've seen them sold on Maritime Knife Supplies website, I'm sure theres more companies out there making some too!
Nice tip about raising the wood grain. Gonna try that 🙏
Beautiful handle shape
Thanks!
Como Deus é bom em dar o ser humano a capacidade de transformar o trabalho em arte ,
Gracias 🙏🏼
I was just about to comment on your insta sayin we need more RUclips videos! Amazing piece as always!
Thanks! Working on a few 😬
Stunning work 👍👍
Thank you!
great to see another video. really nice knife buddy
Thank you!!
Stunning work
Always a good time when a new vid comes out ! Super nice knife, really love the handlle shape and material and the forged finish !
Thanks!
That came out great!
Very nice work. Envious. Lol
Your local glass supplier will make you a thermal glass platon for $20 +/-. Just apoxy to steel platon. That's what I tried.
Amazing video, and easy to follow. Great explanation as to WHY you are doing things and offering suggestions on how to do it differently. Thank you very much for this video
My pleasure!
This is helpful. Thank you. When do you blend your transition from handle to blade? Is that during hand-sanding? Also what leather do you use for your disc sander? Just glue it on before gluing on your abrasive? Thank you!
Glad you’ve found it helpful! I’ll usually blend that transition with my disc sander while it has the leather backing, just carefully touch it so I don’t wash out the flat area for the handle scales to sit on. Then it can be blended further during hand sanding. For the leather on my disc I’m using 8oz veg tan, but be sure to chamfer and round the edge of the side where you stick the sandpaper, if you leave it at a 90 degree it is very very easy to catch the edge of your knife, and that is extremely dangerous and scary. I use 3m feathering disc adhesive for the disc, also use it on the leather. Hope this helps
Thank you! I appreciate it!
What a beautiful gyuto. Great work bro :) .
Really nice work and design .
Thank you so much for this man
My pleasure!
Was wondering if a light folding table like that would be able to cope with hand sanding, and that rocking motion answered my question. That would drive me nuts.
It definitely moves a bit but to be honest I’ve been using it for so long I don’t even notice anymore. Though sometimes I’ll throw a 60lb anvil on the other end and it solves that issue
@@saccoknives That sounds like a great solution. Also gives me a good weight estimate for a table that won't shake too much. Thanks for the response!
