I must commend your craftsmanship, exquisite tool-manship and your engineering talents! The use of minimal tools and how deftly you handle them has me in raptures!! A joy to watch!!
I love that little edge profiling device you have, that's really smart and saves a lot of time and can prevent over edge profiling mistakes. Just super handy to have on hand.
Excellent video process! There is a common misconception that making a small knife is easier but the reality is that you still have to go through all the processes and grinding small blades can actually be a little harder! Great work here man!
@@Xehthers_dirty_bathwater I think there's a balance with a perfect size for easiness, which is about pocket knife size. Smaller than that takes more work, as well as larger than it
@Hoolahups you are sorta right, the larger it is, the more hard work and overall more work, but the smaller the more precision, accuracy, and time it takes for the small things
As a tool and dye maker I have to say i love the square grinding fixture and the use of the 90 straight square then sine to get ur draft on the blade. Definitely know what you’re doing.
You can buy them, just look up tanto envelope opener... but if you can’t afford one, make one yourself, all you need is some metal, sandpaper, and a file( not for the metal like this video shows but for actually shaping the metal)...
When I was a kid I remember a style of knife like that. Top of blade was a fish scaler. Both pieces would float if they fell in the water. It was a neat idea 50+ years ago.
Love that Stanley vise...had an old, used one..the rubber vise jaws fell apart...Stanley replaced them free of charge...I do my own gunsmithing work and they're worth twice their weight in gold...

С таким станочным парком можно изготавливать и более серьёзные вещи! А в принципе молодец! Всякая техника значительно облегчает труд и даёт возможность от этого получать удовлетворение!
Это да, без техники похожий нож у меня занял примерно часов 40 и получился не очень, а с техникой за пару часов такой можно было бы сделать...только один хрен получилось бы так же, вряд ли лучше, чем получилось) руки решают. А норм мастер, если ему по кайфу и на бордюре норм нож выпилит
Nicely done Koss! That Hornbeam came out great and Nice fit too! Love it and been wanting another like this to match my Kikuichi Katana letter opener I got with my 270mm Yanagi. Have to give it a try. Thanks Much.
I love it. Real Artisan work. I'm a Great fan of Japanese knives and swords and appreciate the time that goes into making them and their woodwork and adornments.
@@Shornandkenny thinking about it a quality katana is made from 1095..... Oh yeah and a lot of other swords😉. All the dislikes came from the shop class safety police, it really chaps some people's asses when proper safety procedures are not followed.
I don’t think so... FORGED in fire. forge /fôrj/ gerund or present participle: forging 1. Make or shape (a metal object) by heating it in a fire or furnace and beating or hammering it. And this is not forging.
Gaming Tutorials and what is exactly that they do on that show??? Check out FREERK WIERINGA here on RUclips so you can see what real forging is all about.
Very nice Koss! Simple but beautiful. I love all the miniature builds you've been doing. Any plans for a mini sword of omens from the Thundercats? That would be a challenging little build. I'm curious if you'd try to cast the guard or cut and file it out. Keep up the great builds!
Amazing. I don't really have the space or the tools to make my own blades yet, but I may make the tanto handle and sheath and use a pre blank because this is lovely. Can I ask what wood you used here?
Beautiful little knife. Very nice work. All i would recommend is a different finish for the wood. It looks dull. Also i would recommend putting your makers mark on it. Now that i have seen this video i'm going to try making something like it. Thank you for posting this video.
Brilliant self made systems. Love it! The thing you use to angle the blade for sanding and the mount for the small router! Thanks for the lesson! Great skills m8.

Push sticks are free. Fingers are priceless

Great job, I like projects that only require basic tools, 😊😊😊

How anyone would dislike is beyond me, shame on them
Probably because the steel is too hard and brittle to make a knife with. The dislikes are from people who know what they're doing.

I'm not an expert at these but this actually looks pretty good
I am an expert on these. And I concur.
I love your soundtracks.
I'm so thankful you made it single bevel and more Japanese style, when people do Japanese knifes double bevel I really get mad
The concept of grinding down something used to grind other things down is so funny to me.
