Knifemaking: Kitchen Knife Made With Scrap High Carbon Steel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Making a fine cutting tool out of cheap materials and scrap pieces, using many of my homemade tools and jigs and various vintage equipment I restored in videos during my years on RUclips!
I forgot to measure the end product on camera so here are the specs:
The blade ended up 145mm long and 45mm at the widest. Overall lentght 255mm, thickness tapered from 3.5mm to zero. Steel is 1070 (aka C70) high carbon steel, differentially heat treated with edge hardness between 50 and 55 Rockwell.
Handle is made of tabilized okumè and olive burl wood, with red (and a line of grey) felt liners, fixed to the tang just by friction in a japanese traditional way with split dowel.
Here are some of the videos where I go in more details about some of the tecniques used in this video:

Hey!!! If you want to know more about any particular process shown in this video be sure to check description, I always write a very detailed list of operations and product used. Also links to related videos that cover specific topics like making felt liners or stabilize wood!
And if you like what I do consider supporting me so I can keep on making, join as channel member or check my Patreon for early access and voice-over edit of my videos. Thank you!
nice to see your hammer holding improved, i'd suggest a slightly heavier hammer and a slightly looser grip so your hand lasts longer than till the age of 45
Can you make a old Western knife
Excellent 👏👌😍❤️

Hi this Chanel and video is wery cool! Why dont you try puting some music on backround?
I initially thought that you were one of those channels that artificially age and rust stuff just so you could have a restoration project, but seeing how you have actual forging skill, it seems I was wrong. Your work is legit.
First time I see the half dowel trick to hold the tang in the handle! It's neat!
From trash to treasure !
You can't hide quality Workmanship !!!!
Its been 45 years since I did any blacksmithing and its still a pleasure to watch an artisan at work...kudos to you black bear
Hi, I am writing through Google a translator from Russian. Please add a spring of small force to the upper stem so that it pulls down. When you hit with a hammer, the rod will not bounce up. You will be comfortable.
One of the coolest parts of this channel is watching you use tools you made or restored in earlier episodes to make and restore new things. :-)
Thanks!!! Glad you notice!
Agreed
la cura che metti nei tuoi filmato è la stessa cura che emerge dal tuo lavoro finale.
Bravo: questa è arte del lavoro.
Elegantly made knife. I liked seeing all of the specialized tools he has to work with.
Wow, watching you is like watching my Grandfather at his forge when I was a lad in the 1950s. Great job!
So, that's how it works. More efficient than cutting the metal. Wise man.
I can literally watch his videos all day! I'm a novice knife maker and he gives me TONS of ideas and shortcuts.
Amazing project. I think I get more satisfaction from using the scrap than from any other knife builds.
that is a fantastic movie, watched it from the beggining to the end :) recycle knifemaking is the best :)
What?! Thank you so much Trollsky!!! Earlier today I watched your hammer video while exporting. Great looking film and awesome work! Long time viewer here :) thanks a lot man, very much appreciated.
@@BlackBeardProjects thanks a lot man ! we should do something together since I am back on youtube :)
Love the knife great project, Your tomato looks weird man 🤣
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beefsteak_tomato
it is called Buffalo Heart tomato, very juicy ;P
Looks like a pumpkin
heirloom tomatoes are way yummier than your regular cheapo beefsteak tomatoes.
but never put it in the fridge, cuse even 10 mins in the fridge causes tomatoes to rapidly lose their volatile compounds responsible for their flavor, making them bland and gross.
@@BothHands1 oh I see, thanks for the explanation. I just never see one like this before.
I am very new to knife making. Watching this has been absolutely inspirational to me.
Make the knife shine and don't make it dull like that.. your follower from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I didn't expect the hamon to like that👍
I don't get a lot of the process that went into this, but the results can't be argued with. That came out damn near perfect.
Nice knife. :)
That out of then way, I stand (Well, sit...) in silent awe of your skills, from forging to handle making.
Allow me to pay you my highest compliment, *I wish I could do that!*
Looking forward to more.
The hamon came out very beautiful.the forced patina is a cool look also.
Thank you ! not only for the great videos but also for always writing a very detailed description.😃😃😃
Mans vegetable slicing skills have been improving with every video
90/100
This is the most beautiful knife I’ve seen in a while
Very nice. Drop the point more and you'd have my idea of the perfect kitchen knife.
I like that you forged the bevel instead of grinding it all the way.
I love the 2 tone liner you used this time. That rich red and grey worked really well! Also for someone that keeps saying he's not a chef your knife skill on those tomatoes is looking pretty good ;)
Ahah!! Thanks a lot brother!
Good job my friend 👌👌 I always enjoy your videos and your huge and broad variety of super skills 👌 best regards Martin
Awesome Restorations Love watching your videos too!
Not only are you knives awesome, Your videos and editing are brilliant. MOST of all, The process explanations in your description.. Well done mate. da un amico in Australia.
Real engineering. Very nice work.keep on.
Nice job it's awesome
I love watching you slice through the paper with the finished knife. 😍
I must say your forge work looks quite impressive
Nice work black !!! Love your blacksmith vid
love the differential hardening in the quench :)
Dnt want the video to end!
and this is the best answer for "why HANDMADE is so expensive?" for me atleast!
Been a subscriber for quite some time and I just happened upon this video. Your artistic talents were intact for quite some time. Love all you've created and restored. Nice to look into the past. Appreciate your skills and as always, thank you for posting this video. 👍👍👍
I think Black Smiths are metal artists. I'd never imagine to make a knife from rubish. 💯
I was skeptical in the beginning but man is that an awesome knife.
Good knife right to the point
Your fast forward smithing sound like a nice best.
Very nice video! Thank you!
Put caption from step by step, please. I would like to learn how to make knives just like yours. Greetings from Brazil!
Wow from that piece of junk to a beautiful kitchen knife and I love the hilt very good work definitely deserves a like, wish I could do stuff like that, nice.
Beautiful knife.
I mean this as a compliment, but when I watch a video like this, it breaks my heart, because I know I'll never be able to be a knife maker like yourself.
Un altro bellissimo progetto, sai dare valore a tutto, sei un mostro di bravura, nulla da aggiungere, adoro questi progetti
That scrap of metal never knew it could ever be something so beautiful!
That was fantastic to watch. I loved the way you fit that tang with the dowel. I might have to try that some day.
Turning an scrap metal into a expensive honyaki 🔪 that’s awesome 😎👍
Wow that is a cool looking knife
What can I say but Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing. It is SHARP!!!!!!
After spending most of my life working in kitchen, a knife that had ANY blacking on the blade would be thrown to the dish-pit to be gotten clean. Public Health would be on any restaurant until it was "back" to the shine of stainless steel so it doesn't look like food poisoning waiting to happen.
( there is a reason for stainless steel knives )
The notch in the blade just gives me a twitch about how this blade was badly damaged and not properly repaired.
The shifting of the tang from flat with the back of the blade removes many of the most common cutting techniques from the table. The leverage from the back of the blade alignment truly speeds up a lot of cutting tasks ( which is also why most chef's knives have a curved cutting edge ).
As a knife for display, great, looks fantastic.
Simply superb
