Making a chef knife from high carbon steel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2020
- In this video I will be crafting an 8" chef knife from 1084 high carbon steel. Flat grind with distal taper, acid etched. 0.3mm edge thickness. Purpleheart handle. Brass pins and mosaic pin. Hand crafted in Canada! 🍁
Please leave any suggestions or comments about how I can improve my videos! I'm still new at this so things will change rapidly in the first little bit! Thank you for your support! I love making knives and I believe my creations will only get better from here. 💓
Here is the link for Simple Little Life's Tutorial Video for that awesome scribe tool you saw in the video:
• How to MAKE the Best K...
nice blade, congratulations.
Thank you 🙏
the way you said k thnx bye LOL love it
That's some beautiful wood :O
Great video, and good job! Looking sharp, both you and the knife haha.
Lol good job
Very informative.. Great video!
Nice 👍
LOL you look so lit! Hahaha nice blade
great work! I'm about to start one like it for my parents! I'm in Ottawa btw
Very much appreciated. Thank you! I am still turning out a new knife for my mom every once in a while, around Mother's Day or Christmas. 😁 She has been my most valued tester for my kitchen knives. lol. Take care! (from Edmonton)
Beautiful work Dave!. I subscribe to your channel. Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina
Thank you sir!
You should you the proper oil for quenching , USA has a good selection ,here in Europe it's hard to find one...
Really nice work Dave. Where do you buy the material for the scales ???
Thanks for watching! I purchased the purpleheart wood from a local hardwood supplier in my city.
what's a good steal to use to make a knife one of the whole a really good edge
Thanks for watching Wade! 1084 is commonly regarded as a great beginner's steel. It will hold a good edge and is more forgiving in the heat treatment process than other steels! Coincidentally 1084 is the exact steel I used on the knife in this video.
@@DaveMakesKnives I'm going to get my boys in my brother's boys together and we will try to make a knife 3 college graduates and two Commons and one like a commissioner see if we can make a knife or a burn up piece of metal. LOL maybe we'll be good at it and get together a couple times a year and make something
@@wadebarnes6720 Have fun you guys!
I really like this, do you know how long it took? Also, if I understood, you worked the blade first, then quenched, then tempered? I kind of thought the steps would go anneal, work, quench and then sharpen? Or did I miss something?
No, sorry, I can't really remember how long it took exactly. The knifemaking process takes a lot longer when recording it because a lot of time is spent moving the camera and setting up the shot. And this was only the second video I've done so it took extra long figuring that stuff out.
I haven't had to anneal anything yet before working it. If my drill bits will drill it then its soft enough for me and I will just start working the steel. The steps you described sound correct but you missed the tempering step which is done directly after hardening (quenching). Tempering is done to bring down the hardness a little and add toughness so the blade is not brittle.
After the hardening and tempering it's not quite ready for sharpening because more grinding still has to be done. The blade is not ground to its final thickness before heat treatment because if it is left thicker it helps prevent cracking during the quench.
I'm sure there are lots of ways to do it but that's how I do it based off what I have learned from other RUclipsrs. Thanks for watching
Hey man what is the name of the center scratcher so I can buy one. Lovethe handle techniques
I actually made the center scribe tool. Here is a link to the video for the design I used. I hope it's helpful. Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/8FUu50WVHyE/видео.html
hello, what do you do when you notice that you haven't reached the hardness yet? minute 12.25
If your file bites there is no other choice than to redo the heat treatment. You should then normalize your blade, and then harden it again. Sometimes your file will file away some scale left from the hardening and it will sound like it is biting the steel. You can sand the scale off first and then try or else you can just keep filing until the scale is gone and then listen for the file skidding. Thanks for watching!
Do you grind at a relatively uniform angle from blade edge to spine of the knife?
Any ideas of the angle?
Hi Mike, I don't really measure the angle at all. I grind and the bevel slowly makes its way to the spine and when I get to the spine I stop grinding. While I am doing this I frequently check my scribed lines for my edge center to make sure I don't grind past the lines. If I think the bevel is not going to the spine fast enough before the edge is ground to its line then I put more pressure at the spine and less near the edge and try to bring that bevel where it needs to be (to the spine) before I've reached my edge center lines. I hope that helps explain it but please feel free to reply to this if you have more questions. Thank you!
@@DaveMakesKnives Makes a lot of sense, thanks! I grabbed a jig on eBay (TR maker), so am going to have a play with that - Thanks for all the info!
Hey brother could you please share you paper drawing of this knife so i can also print it and make that knife please.
Ok, I've made a tracing of the knife and scanned it. Email me at dkblades1982@gmail.com and I'll send it to you
Que acero estás usando
1084
Just here for the lil peepo
very long proces
It certainly can be.
