I would like to get into knife making but I had a few questions, first off what is the tool at 4:13 called and what is the liquid at 8:47 called and what is it used for
this is bevel jig , help to ajust angle of the blade during grinding.
you can see process of it creation in this video - ruclips.net/video/vy3XA-2w9-0/видео.html
the liquid is ferric chloride
Koss thanks so much and is the ferris chloride what gives it the the nice matte finish
I'm pretty sure ferris chloride is some type of acid, which people often use to bring out the pattern from the metal, especially with damascus steel.
But then again, I didn't do chemistry classes or make knives all that much. Haven't even finished my first knife and it's taken like a year lol. Mostly due to though lazyness.
TechnoMasterBoy ok thanks
They seem to use ferric chloride for etching. Man-at-arms videos explain this. They are blacksmiths so they forge most of their blades though.
Классный нож получился) Вот люди рукастые)))
Man, cutting the handle and scabbard are the same time is next level genius. I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone do that before! What a Time saver!
After adding the dark stain you should back sand it with 1,000 and then 000 steel wool. Then finalize with tongue oil. It will give the wood more color flash. Killer work man!
tung oil works fine too🍻
Words can not express how much I loved this knife build. Great job!
Wow! So simple but still so beautiful!
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning job without the the need for a lot of fancy kit!
Thanks for sharing...
JD
Well I mean, grinding belt, bevel jig, Dremel, these things arnt free
Its beautiful would buy
Probably one of best tutorial in RUclips. Amazing work. Thanks from Spain
This build was the most satisfying build i especially loved the criss cross indentations for the handle
I got three things to say about this video, very nice tanto, your videoediting is one of the best i have seen and every buildt/restoration video is magnificent. In a nutshell im speachless!
Don't usually comment, but great workmanship, amazing talent, pls send more :)
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing job. Pure art. Thanks for sharing with us.
I love Tanto Knifes. Excelent Works!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your template. I made my own, its no where near as nice as yours but I'm happy with it. Thanks again!
Лайк по любому. Молодец мужик!
Absolutely beatiful! I cannot remember how many times i saw this diy vid.l
That is seriously an awesome tanto!! Great video!
Amazing build keep up the good content
Nice blade, very well executed.
Your work is true art. Well done. It truely is a beautiful piece
love the color scheme! great knife.
Beautiful! Excellent job friend
TheSickassmick ffffff
Молодец, так держать!
Beautiful knife anda amazing job. God bless you in your art.
That is a seriously good looking knife, well done on such a masterpiece. It takes real talent to make something like that.
WOOOOOOO!! THAT IS SOOOO COOOL!!! I LIKE TO HAVE ONE !!
I'll make you one 😉 it won't be as good lol
It is KURWA beautiful
Excellent Koss , youve inspired me to get back into knife making , and Im going to do just a slightly larger version of this to start with
Absolutely a brilliant job!!!!
This music is giving me a migraine cool build though
It's easier to turn the volume down than complain
@@gbp3616I think most people would rather hear the sounds of the blade being made rather than some shitty music.
@@The_SSSlopper go turn on your grinder then
beautiful
Dude, I like your style. Nice work.
What a beautiful piece.
very nice workmanship, just curious as to if you heat treated and tempered the blade as not shown in video?
The most beautiful knife i have ever seen... (i looked a few during years) i’ve been day dreaming having beautiful knife like this since i was 7 (now i am 38)
Really? Since 7, u couldve made it by now lmao
Great job! Hatori Hanzo would be proud of you.
Worth to watch this video. Very nicely done tanto. Great job :-)
You should definitely make a store and sell these
Hello Koss, how much time to make this beautiful "thing" ?
Thank you for this video !
Beautiful craftsmanship wonderfully done
Very nice!
Don't stop, keep 'em coming man.
Really nice video but would be nice to see you harden it
Pause 😂
Nicely looking tanto, like it. I would love to have one. But there was no hardening, no tempering after burning the blade edge with the diamond cutter and the belt sander. This knife would never keep its sharpness.
Well, if you made it for putting it into a glass cabinet, the problems above don't matter.
Again, looks great.
oh and don't forget to mention that tantos are swords and not knives :D
Most beautiful Knife i have seen in my entired Life 🤩
fantastic job... I particulartly liked the look of the handle/sheath after initial sanding, the thin dar line suited the pale wood.... but then... as the coats became darker the true beauty of your creation unfolded.. Very nice job! ;-)
Awesome job!
What wood stain / color did you use?
one day, i will make something like this
NateTus no you won't, not with that attitude.
Like no other. Theres a template, thanks bro! Pretty awesome knife.!
Very beautifull! With compliments!!!
Просто бомба!!! Супер я бы хотел заказать себе такой. Если возможно. И цена интересует.

Koss, that is a very beautiful modern interpretation of Japanese tanto. Now, I am in the middle of making a tanto myself, and I have a question: While I might not follow some of your steps, how fit was the saya or scabbard that you made? I mean, the Japanese sword in general have this habaki or metal copper on the blade that gives the blade a snug fit all the time, and yours does not have any habaki. Will your blade become a bit loose over time?
As I said before, that is a very beautiful tanto (especially the square-ish scabbard and hilt which I really really love), and yours serves as a template for my tanto project. Keep up the good work, Koss.
P.S. You used ferric chloride etching, yes?
Dude, that's sick. I want that knife !
That’s the most satisfying thing ever 👌🏻🙂
Curious did you heat treat at all during the build? thank you
Kind of important ya
Could have been cool to add a magnetic price on the sheath that attracts the handguard
The hand guard is brass its not magnetic.
You're an artist!
Damn nice blade! Good job! Thanks for sharing.
Really like this knife, great job! But I wonder about that sheath/scabbard maintaining its retention over time. Seems like the epoxied layers would pry apart pretty easily with nothing mechanically holding them together.
Bastian than the handle would fail too
Just a heads up that’s epoxy, it’s not gonna come off at all
Guys, I make knives, and though good epoxy is pretty strong, there is a reason most knives *also* have pins, bolts, screws, etc to provide an additional mechanical means of holding handles and scales together. Its because if you don't, the scales have a tendency to shear right off under stress or hard use.
Also, you are generally not actively prying on the handle, yet the way this style of sheath/scabbard works is through tension. Every time you insert the knife, you are basically prying that sheath apart. Epoxy will give eventually. That is why most sheaths/scabbards of this style are capped with a sort of metal band to prevent this.
Bastian have you tried pulling epoxied pieces apart? Like with good epoxy? It's hard as shit dude
Umbra, sure. I use the good stuff, West System slow cure, and GFlex. And I have had scales separate from the tang on their own.
Again, there is a reason 99% of good knife makers use mechanical means *in addition* to epoxy. If epoxy were that great by itself, there would be no need. ....but that isn't the case *most of the time,* unless you are making a decorative blade, or light use kind of thing.
Great knife. Word of advice tho.... Use a filtered facemask when grinding. Years from now you'll be glad you did....or regret that you didnt.
Awesome knife man, I am a fan of tanto blades!
Mar-vooou-lusssss! Just wonderful work...
Cool but after only 4minutes I can’t listen the music anymore🤯
Stop bitching, mute the video and play your own music over it.
@@sebastiennovakovic5044 This is the best choice of music in a long time.
@@sebastiennovakovic5044 you are right
@@davidsanders1991 and you are right too
The power of the mute button
And here i am with a hammer and forge.
And that's the difference between a knife maker and a bladesmith.
Amazing work with the tanto piece
Inspired me to start making my own. I always see how other knifes can be better, well to me be better.
you have a playlist named knifes when it should be knives
XD
Ey boss stop being perfect peter
Я бы купил себе такой ножичек в коллекцию))
Beautiful piece of work!
Beautiful! You have a gift.
Clean looking tanto, but the lack of tempered steel disturbs me...
i dont like it because the only thing holding the blade and the handle is glue...
my favourite video of his is called making a dark modern tanto and its a true masterpiece, idk why he wont makes more knives that way...
@@janzugic6798 yeah a friend recommended this video to me
I have some problems with the construction
It's a beautiful knife though
looks like baby katana..nice piece of work...
pekná práca a ukážka šikovných rúk
Awesomely done man, I love it!
Very nice knife! how did you finish the blade? Was it etching in feric chlorid? What grit did you sand it before etching? Thanks for your help, keep going!
I sand my knifes to 800 before etch but if you are lazy you can do 400 way down 400 isnt that good because the roigher the surface of the steel , the acid etches more sorry my english sucks
Yeah ultimately it just depends on what look you’re going for. Sometimes I do 600, sometimes 1000, and then sometimes as low as 120. Play around with different finishes and different etching solutions. Coffee or vinegar give wildly different results to ferric chloride and sometimes they look fantastic
Lovely video but next time let the sounds of your tools and stuff
Beautifully made tanto perfectly.
Beautiful work!
I need to buy this for seppuku
No heat treat?
U didn't waste any materials ... I like that.. well done
Very nice. I like how you put together the sheath and handle.
To the assorted commenters; the maker used PRE HEAT TREATED STEEL. Thus the lack of any visable hardening/ tempering....
Which is a pointless statement as he used tooling on it which effectively softens the metal. Tool steel holds a decent hardness, but grinding and sanding it removes that.
The proper thing to do would have been to retreat it.
I want that knife
Очень красивая работа, даже приобрести захотелось)
Amazing how some people can watch you put in the work to make such a piece and still have trash to talk.
Great work and a beautiful blade.
Incredible knife. Is the template for it available to download?
It prevents the blade from wiggling sideways. Makes for a better fitting =)
Oh, sorry. Hmm, I guessed leather as well, but it seems kinda thin. I agree on the idea of patterns :)
That's not a leather, it's a fiber sheet. Just a spacer between different wooden blocks.
Ahmet Fatih YILMAZ it's just for looks. Plane wood is a bit boring without any detail.
I added the 1:1 template in the video description. Feel free to use)
Dont you have to heat it and cool with oil to harden it
Yeah, I also don't see him tempering the steel, so that's not a knife, it's just a toy.
Maybe he started with hardened steel
Martin Erhard he could have but he went crazy with the cut off wheel abs over heated the blade pretty much assuring that he annealed it.
Amazing project i liked it very much,keep up the good work😊
Fantastic job my friend. I wish I could own something like this. I like to collect knives.
Stunning 😍
Do you have license for sell knives? I wish so much to buy the same knife of this video 🙄
It is not a functional knife. Looks cool and all but there is no forging, heat treat and no quenching involved which means that the knife would generate a crack with a couple of brutal hits.
@@kalpajyotiborah7134 look i dont know what are you talking about 🤔 i just like the knife for put in a collection.
What I meant is that this knife is just a showpiece. It is not a hardened knife. He just carved out the knife from a raw metal bar. No hammering and no forging was involved. If you want to collect knives then it would be better to collect them as functional too. Because that adds to the authenticity of the knife. What good is a knife that you show to your friends and while trying it out, it breaks into pieces.
Look out for "Jake's Custom Knives"... you would love his work.
@@kalpajyotiborah7134 hey its true! I will watch one of his videos now.
Thank you! ☺
will it retain an edge without the heat treating?
It's already heat treated metal that he cut is my guess.
It's a decorative blade
Belíssimo trabalho. Parabéns!
One word: *Perfect*
Not heat treated? :( Why!?
Y nitsuJ heat treating is the process of heating the blade and cooling it off rapidly in oil or water, this makes the metal really really hard, but with hardness comes brittleness, do he heats up the blade to temper it relieving some of the stress in the metal, making it more flexible
@Y nitsuJ make it harder and more resistant what a question....true blades are heat treated
is it on sale?
Absolutely Stunning
Looks amazing !😍 awesome knife
What about heat treating and final sharpening ?
He makes showpieces. All his videos involve knives which are just carved out of metal bars. There is no forging, no hammering, no heat treating involved whatsoever. The end results of his work look cool but none are functional knives.
Kalpajyoti Borah you dont need to forge it to make a good knife but forging is more efficiënt with materials and heat treatment is pretty essential
Kalpajyoti Borah is right. They look awesome but don’t have the right temper or treating to hold a significant edge. When you just cut out metal instead of forging you’re at the mercy of the metals grain structure. Not good for any real working knives. Regardless the craftsmanship here is evident and impressive nonetheless.
brian roberts you absolutely could be right.
Try to change the speed
Damn so heavy 🤘
Now this is actually a good DIY, not a trash 5-minute crafts diy. Good job :)
