Forging advice: Don't put your thumb on the handle, it will lead to repetitive stress injury (tennis elbow). Wrap all the way around the handle. Life the hammer from your shoulder, not the biceps, it involves more and larger muscle groups and you'll get tired slower and get a lot more power. Great project!
Greetings from finland !Great job again Pask ! that looks a lot like finnish woodcarving knife ! we call it "Puukko" if u break the word "PUU" means wood... Carpenters, fishers ,hunters , lumberjacks, and woodcarving artist all use this type of knife in finland.... some have little bit longer or wider blade and the body goes thru the handle everytime... nothing FULLTANG SHIT here... Knifemakers in finland burns with the knifebody to be exact to the handle while in final heating prosess... and they put little piece leather between copper and wood.... wood expands and shrinks even with this direction just a little bit.......I Love ur channel Pask.. these videos make my day sometimes :D
Another awsome build! Today i was working in my shop and I was thinking i need a carving knife. I was searching where to buy one, but you just make it yourself. That inspires me now! Thanks
Very impressed when you cut the end grain and left a polished edge. Great video! I’ve watched this video many times, and have learned something new every time. Thank you Mr. Pask.
Yup... watching the design transfer to fresh paper for the cutout, and thought THAT was the template he was talking about for a second... then registered "make it out of aluminum so it'll last longer"... and my face scrunched up horribly... till I realized he was talking about an aluminum template... terminology... TERMINOLOGY!!! ...maybe I should lay off the damn word-games... ;o)
Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!
Hey, great work! Might I add some tips, from one amateur blacksmith to another? -Keep your anvil close to your fire so you don't lose heat. -Don't put your thumb on top of the hammer as you're striking, it'll transfer all the kinetic energy into your tendons and wreck them. -If you use your brush in only one direction it'll last longer since the bristles won't wiggle themselves loose as much. -You can choose to put your touchmark on it after the initial grinding, before heat treatment, so it'll be deeper as you're not gringing away at it as much. -You're right in using the thickest one. As the saying goes: "if you want a good edge win, forge it thicc and grind it thin." But don't take my word for it, I'm just a random dude on the internet who learned most of the craft from youtube videos. It's a great little knife you made in any case. Well done.
Did anyone else get a little freaked out by that sound around the 12:22 mark? "Was that an ambulance? A dirt bike? Or some feral bush animal sneaking up on Pask?!?"😂
Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.
That is an absolute work of art, I'm so impressed by your commitment to it and the challenges you've overcome. That tapered faceted ferule is something else! Watching you learn helps me learn and your work is inspiring. All the best mate
Congratulations. What a very mesmoring video. It's incredible to watch your fine skill, and the knowledge which you exhibit. You break down the process so well.
Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!
Your work is really beautiful and seeing how happy you are by doing it is amazing! Discovered your channel just recently and I am already a big fan. It's so peaceful to watch :) Keep up this awesome work! Greetings from Brazil \o/
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Now I know why I did not throw away those old car springs! Now I only need to gain "some" skills to makes such knives. Won't be easy!
First of your videos I’ve ever seen. Interesting video on many levels - I was particularly fascinated with your band-saw jig, so I’m going to hunt for your video on how to make that...
Brilant, mate! Do you realize how many projects I would have to so to emulate this knife? Well I better get to work making all the tools nessary to accomplish it. Thanks a lot (he said sarcasticly).That's actually really cool, man! It's so much fun creating stuff like that.
Awesome build!!! Can’t wait to try something. Similar!! 🙌🏻 One point : as you were carving at the end noticed the blade wasn’t super sharp .. would have been soo nice to see you take that awesome blade from an 800 whetstone through to a 2000 -3000 And then stropped to give that mirror sharp Finnish !!

Thanks very much for the advice, definitely makes sense! :)
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?
@Larry Elisha Flixportal :P
@Jaxson Harrison thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!
@Larry Elisha Happy to help :D
That’s a super wood carving knife, and I love the sound of the wood getting whittled away.

This is how great I think he is.
Love it! Classic Pask style - honesty about setbacks and how you overcame them to produce an amazing piece!
Thank you!
The idea of using a step drill and then filing into a taper is pure genius :D

That’s a nice and sharp knife. Looks like it’ll be a great carving knife.
In the beginning misheard and thought you were gonna make the actual blade out of aluminum. Was thinking you lost your mind lol
Zeke b me too.... I rewind the video thinking past has forgotten his meds. Lol
Same

TERMINOLOGY!!!

Zeke b yeah I was really curious how an aluminum knife blade would last longer than steel 🤣
@@eizzle78 WOul last longer than paper one though. You all just got the wrong point of reference!
Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!

Nice touch filing the facets on the ferule. Great work.
Good job 👍🏽 hello from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 I like this knife 🔪
Brilliant! Great to watch as making carving knifes at the moment and will be tweaking , ok copying a few things!
Did anyone else get a little freaked out by that sound around the 12:22 mark? "Was that an ambulance? A dirt bike? Or some feral bush animal sneaking up on Pask?!?"😂
I’m suprised to see how many tools we can do our selfs 😱 and this one is one of my favorite 👍🏼🤩😜
Points for patience Neil. Beautiful job.
I love seeing you use all the different tools you’ve made over time, making more tools. Great vid.
Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.
Thanks Alex! You should definitely give it a go - have fun! :)
Thanks to share it
Good job Pask love your videos and how you narrated them as well.
I’ve never failed to be blown away by any of your vids thanks for sharing your imagination.
Nothing better than a sharp knife/chisel, the sounds of it cutting wood is glorious 😊
Great build Neil, well done 🏆👍🏼
beautiful thanks for all your movies
This design is täljkniv in Sweden , many Swedish brands make these knives also Mora.
Very common since slöjd era.
guzelovalish what's the English translation of täljkniv? I'm going to assume it means something knife 😂
That is an absolute work of art, I'm so impressed by your commitment to it and the challenges you've overcome. That tapered faceted ferule is something else! Watching you learn helps me learn and your work is inspiring. All the best mate
I made one almost like that to keep in my carving kit, but it's so useful it stays on the work bench instead. Great video.
That handle making jig is clever, I'll go watch that next!
Really nice work...enjoyed watching you create this carving knife! 👍🏼👍🏼
Congratulations. What a very mesmoring video. It's incredible to watch your fine skill, and the knowledge which you exhibit. You break down the process so well.
Greetings from Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan Canada
Very nice work my respect 👍
I learn something all the time.
Great knife, i love that you leave the mistakes in. We all make them, just have to overcome them in our projects!
I like how you didn't feel the need to cut paper to prove you know how to sharpen a blade. That alone is worth a few thousand likes.
Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!
Really liked this one, Neil, nice carving knife. I also liked the vice you have for holding the knife as you did the ferrule work.
Wow, looks like you've upped your blacksmithing game. That maker mark is looking great too.
Excelent project. Congratulations My friend
I wold totally buy one, great for whittling.
very very good job
awesome project and process!
Your work is really beautiful and seeing how happy you are by doing it is amazing!
Discovered your channel just recently and I am already a big fan. It's so peaceful to watch :)
Keep up this awesome work! Greetings from Brazil \o/
Nice from start to finish
You are a magician, sir. Great touches with the copper accents. I love your work!
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Now I know why I did not throw away those old car springs! Now I only need to gain "some" skills to makes such knives.
Won't be easy!
Very nice blacksmithing job. Nice carver.
I liked the spring clamp notching thing you used on the blade.
Keep up the great work!
Pask is the man!!
Looks like forging ain't all that bad when your forge gets that hot. Awesome and inspiring as always Pask!
A hot forge is a happy forge. ;o)
I'm impressed
Thanks for the explanation of the zero clearance grind on the blade.
Benedict White it is most often referred to as a Scandi Grind
@@sunnybeach9145 Cheers.
This is very similar to how I make mine. I want to say you did an excellent job on this tutorial.
Very cool. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
You're the man Neil! I was just telling my son's that I wanted to make a carving knife. They will be excited to see.
Excellent job Sir.
love watching your videos, even if I am not particularly interested in what you are making sometimes. cheers
Well that clearly works wonderfully, and it looks like it sits comfortably in the hand. Not much more you could ask for really! Very nicely done! :)
First of your videos I’ve ever seen. Interesting video on many levels - I was particularly fascinated with your band-saw jig, so I’m going to hunt for your video on how to make that...
Thanks - glad you found it interesting! :)
Use the same template and make another one sharpened on the opposite side. It would make a versatile set.
Wow just a beautiful job . Great vid
Beautiful!!!!!
Another great build, Neil. Getting plenty of use out of the new belt sander.
There's not many feelings better than when a nice sharp file bites into some copper or other soft metal
Great video thanks from London 👍
Brilant, mate! Do you realize how many projects I would have to so to emulate this knife? Well I better get to work making all the tools nessary to accomplish it. Thanks a lot (he said sarcasticly).That's actually really cool, man! It's so much fun creating stuff like that.
Very nice and cool👌
Great video - yet again! Love seeing you use all those tools you made yourself as earlier projects.
Du bist der Beste.
Awesome build!!! Can’t wait to try something. Similar!! 🙌🏻
One point : as you were carving at the end noticed the blade wasn’t super sharp .. would have been soo nice to see you take that awesome blade from an 800 whetstone through to a 2000 -3000
And then stropped to give that mirror sharp Finnish !!
That was fun! You made that look so easy and the finished knife is perfect!
😍What a knife. I also want to do this, but i don't have this blacksmith oven. Your chanel is so inspiring, i can't stop to watch❤👍
love the knife.
Absolutely awesome carving knife Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s fantastic!!!
Thank you very much for the Arabic translation work in this video🌹🌹🌹👍🏻
That's so amazing! Job well done! Love the video and b am very jealous of the knife!
Good Evening ,
Great Build ! You have a Fantastic Shop ! Great Jig for forming a Handle ! Take Care and Be Safe ! Keep Hammering !
great craftsmanship,
Great work on the carving knife Neil! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Very nicely done. I wish I could afford one.
Good effort and keep practicing.
That turned out beautifully Neil. Great work as always.
great video. next time, rather than drawing round your template use a high contrast spray paint - really good for marking out shapes
Thanks - glad you liked it! I've used spray paint before but I prefer the nice crisp line from a scriber. :)
Awesome job Neil! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Clever handle jig and nice blade.
Absolutely stunning. Always with an added value. THX!
I want one! Looks perfect
nice work and attention to detail, will have to make one of your handle jigs.
Nicely done, Mate.
Good job, as usual.
man o man I'm sooooooo jealous of that sweet new grinder. Oh and great work as always. I always really learn a lot from my friend.
Well done
Great Video as always... Really like your work dude keep it up... Thanks for sharing
By the way, your all videos are inspirational to me...
awesome job and design, your stamp works great as well
Thanks for showing how and sharing that, art work
I like it!
Beautiful!! Reminds of my marking knife I made from a table saw blade.
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch :) thank you! The knife looks great!
Neil, when you are forging, don't choke the hammer. Use the entire handle.
You'd be surprised how many do that including Alec Steele.
Don't you move your hand up and down the handle, depending on how much power/control you want?
