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
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.
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!
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!
Mike Zeke this may sound funny and inappropriate to you but i have to say i'm in love with your work. I would buy if i could but dollars are something we northeast people could rarely afford. Please send me one of your knife as a gift? Hehe
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Very Nice work! I would have made the blade into a mirror, myself, but the blade is beautiful either way! Great work and excellent choice of color for the wood stain.
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 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.

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
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.
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.
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...
Next time can you kill the music. I rather listen to the natural sounds even if sped up. I have trouble sleeping and your videos soothe my mind and unwind the days tension. The music kills it. I know you can cater to one, but if at all possible it would be amazing. Thank you for the quality uploads and the soul and thoughfulness you put into what you do. Seeing japanese culture shared in this wake makes me so happy. Thanks for all the work you do.
Lol so many of these anti music comments out there. I don’t think he asks for your opinion.....he is showing us his craft in his own way and it’s incredible. You should go troll elsewhere
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.

the liquid is ferric chloride
Koss thanks so much and is the ferris chloride what gives it the the nice matte finish

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.
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!

tung oil works fine too🍻
your detail is second to NONE !
Words can not express how much I loved this knife build. Great job!
Now this is actually a good DIY, not a trash 5-minute crafts diy. Good job :)
Классный нож получился) Вот люди рукастые)))
U didn't waste any materials ... I like that.. well done
Wow! So simple but still so beautiful!
Probably one of best tutorial in RUclips. Amazing work. Thanks from Spain

Fantastic knife.
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning job without the the need for a lot of fancy kit!
Thanks for sharing...

Well I mean, grinding belt, bevel jig, Dremel, these things arnt free
Piece of art. Beautiful!! Wish i was not poor.
Beautiful! Excellent job friend
TheSickassmick ffffff
Very nice. I like how you put together the sheath and handle.
Nice blade, very well executed.
Dostum, bu bir sanat eseri oldu. Tebrikler.
Don't usually comment, but great workmanship, amazing talent, pls send more :)
I loved the design
Its beautiful would buy
I enjoy your work. Thanks
Amazing build keep up the good content
You're an artist!
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!
Very beautifull! With compliments!!!
It is KURWA beautiful
Man, i've never seen a knife that beautiful, elegant and simple my whole life
Rafael Changsan look up crossed heart forge, island blacksmith

WOOOOOOO!! THAT IS SOOOO COOOL!!! I LIKE TO HAVE ONE !!
I'll make you one 😉 it won't be as good lol
Great job! Hatori Hanzo would be proud of you.
looks like baby katana..nice piece of work...
Great the knife like a traditional tanto
Лайк по любому. Молодец мужик!
Amazing work with the tanto piece
very nice workmanship, just curious as to if you heat treated and tempered the blade as not shown in video?
love the color scheme! great knife.
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
Beautifully made tanto perfectly.
beautiful
Absolutely a brilliant job!!!!
you have a playlist named knifes when it should be knives
XD
Ey boss stop being perfect peter
Absolutely beatiful! I cannot remember how many times i saw this diy vid.l
You should definitely make a store and sell these
Beautiful piece of work!
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

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
Really nice video but would be nice to see you harden it
Pause 😂
This build was the most satisfying build i especially loved the criss cross indentations for the handle
Молодец, так держать!
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.
one day, i will make something like this
NateTus no you won't, not with that attitude.
Beautiful craftsmanship wonderfully done

Замечательная работа. Все доступно, а главное инструмент, ничего сверхестественного . Брутальный нож но не повседневный.

oh and don't forget to mention that tantos are swords and not knives :D
Very Nice work! I would have made the blade into a mirror, myself, but the blade is beautiful either way! Great work and excellent choice of color for the wood stain.
Awesome job!
What wood stain / color did you use?
Worth to watch this video. Very nicely done tanto. Great job :-)
Curious did you heat treat at all during the build? thank you
Kind of important ya
僅かな曲線 黒檀のような質感…素晴らしいですね
開け閉めも刃の厚みだけで出来てしまったり…？
だとしたら心の底から感服します
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.
Great work. Beautiful.
Hello Koss, how much time to make this beautiful "thing" ?
Thank you for this video !
Beautiful! You have a gift.
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.
Beautiful work.
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
I love Tanto Knifes. Excelent Works!!!!!
Просто бомба!!! Супер я бы хотел заказать себе такой. Если возможно. И цена интересует.

That's a master piece.
Could have been cool to add a magnetic price on the sheath that attracts the handguard
The hand guard is brass its not magnetic.
Very nice!
Don't stop, keep 'em coming man.
Я бы купил себе такой ножичек в коллекцию))
excellent work
at what point did this blade get hardened?
He just dip it to oil at 8:45 hahaha
he dipped it into acid, not hardening. the acid was to cause a reaction in the metal making the blade darker.
Pre heated steel
Fantastic job my friend. I wish I could own something like this. I like to collect knives.
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
Lovely work...
No heat treat?
Dude, that's sick. I want that knife !
Cool but after only 4minutes I can’t listen the music anymore🤯
Stop bitching, mute the video and play your own music over it.

Really cool organizing work space, really cool skill, really good shape knife.!
No edge hardening and no heat treating ???
Yeah I thought that was weird
مو بله صحيح
Very nice!
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.

Beautiful work!
Hear treat? Habaki? Pin handle and not glued one?
Honestly was thinking the same thing
The blade isn’t even forged it’s just grinded
класс! идея кстати из дремела фрезер сделать хорошая. надо попробовать.
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...

I have some problems with the construction
It's a beautiful knife though

Probably has the same-ish music playing in the background while working.... just a guess

Jeff A are you referring to me as the "troll"? That wasn't my intention...who doesn't listen to music when they're in their shop?
Not directed towards you Chaz ✌🏻 talking to EH
Great work lad.
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.
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing job. Pure art. Thanks for sharing with us.
And here i am with a hammer and forge.
And that's the difference between a knife maker and a bladesmith.
Awesome job a mosaic pin through the tang would look great and help for strength
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.
