The number one rule to follow when making a knife out of already tempered steel is not to get it too hot or you will lose that temper, a good guide to how hot you should get it is you should be able to hold it with a bare hand.
Like I showed in the video, I had a container of water nearby to keep the blade cool while shaping it.
That is an awesome idea!! I loved the "It didn't qualify for Flitz" line!! Like Alex from "screws and tools" channel says " its good enough for potatoes"!!
Thanks Patrick! Chuck was busy campaigning anyway...
Stiff blade putty knives make great blades. Great job on that new utility blade.
Thanks Bill!
Great repurposing of an old putty knife. Never get bored with your videos mate.
Thanks ShedMan! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I have a couple of those types of putty knives, I’m going to try it out, I can see how handy that would be as a dedicated utility bench knife. Thanks for the idea, nice job on yours, enjoyed watching.
Thanks Terry! I'd love to see some photos of your putty knife - knife!

A good new life for the rusty putty knife. Looks and works great. Well done.
Dave.
Thanks Dave! It was a fun little project!
I know tool aficionados love customized repurposed tools! They instill some of the creators own personal style and character. Great job on the transformation of the rusty old scraper!
Thanks Ken! It was a fun project!
Outstanding! You made a “Hack Knife” such a useful and effective design. Great job!!! 😃👍
Thanks ScoutCrafter! I was inspired by Footprint's Hacking knife.
Great idea to use a sturdy putty knife as a regular knife. Looks very handy.
Thanks Larry! It should get a lot of use in my shop!
Great idea and great execution. That is a very functional tool. Perfect for utility applications in the shop. Well done, sir. Well done indeed .
Thanks! It was fun to make!
I think that angle guide is a very clever and useful tool. No more guesstimating the right angle. Great job repurposing a neglected scraper. A lot of creativity in your family.
Thanks Pat! It makes maintaining a consistent bevel easier.
Thanks Magdad that's a great transformation, I have a vintage and more recent (20 y/o) putty knife from Footprint they are really useful tools ideal for removing putty and also for battoning great quality Sheffield steel !
Thanks Andy!
Cool. Old putty knife gets a new life.
Thanks!
Very nice project. Bet you were pumped when you realized the rivet was brass!
Thanks Tom! It was a nice surprise!
Great job nice project. Headed out to my shop to dig up an old putty knife today!!
Thanks! I'd love to see some photos of your putty knife-knife! 357mdad@gmail.com
@@357magdad I get it done you'll be the first to see it!
I love it. A “do anything”, super handy knife for any workbench.
Thanks! It should come in handy around the shop!

I started collecting knives at age 6 on up to my early twenties when I stopped collecting but still today have a reasonable number of knives and carried one ever day til this day. The saying “when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” is largely true. But when you have a knife and a flexible mind, many of the world’s practical problems can be overcome with a knife.
Nice transformation! 👍
Thanks Frank!
Well done a great shop knife, on the ships we would call that type of knife a packing knife.
Thanks Randy!
Very neat idea MagDad ! It's a very useful tool to have in the shop - well done!
Thanks Bill!
Great video - as always. I was surprised you did not use your “Miracle Juice” on it to get the rust out of the deep crevasses. You have a very creative mind to make the connection between a rusty “throw away” and your finished product. Your knife would make a great leather craftsman knife. Thank you.
Michael from Canada
Thanks Michael! The best part about making your own "knife" is that you can customize the shape of the blade!
Beautiful job! Great addition to the work bench.
Thanks Gary! It will come in handy!
Great project. Love the upcycling!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Outstanding work Magdad! It works really well and it looks so much better cleaned up and modified. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial.
Thanks John! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thinking outside of the box to make your own Hack Knife. Well done, Magdad! It turned out very successful. I'll take your suggestion and keep a look out for a similar version. Thanks! 😄👍
Thanks Joseph!
Cool video, but no Chuck?!? He must be out campaigning! 👍😁😎
Thanks! Chuck is out on the campaign trail shaking babies and kissing hands!
You created a beautiful swan from an ugly duckling, well done.
Well, at least a more useful, less ugly duckling...
Nice knife project
Thank you!
Nice job. Something I would have never considered. I'll try it just as a fun project.
Give it a try! I'd love to see photos of your putty knife - knife!
357mdad@gmail.com
I love this idea. I plan on making one soon. Something I've picked up from the bushcraft group is to Leanne a section of the backside of the blade a perfect 90° with a small burr for scraping. Hope that idea helps someone in this group.
Thanks Chris! I'd love to see photos of your putty knife - knife!

You've just created yourself a new friend for your shop 🔪❤️
It should come in handy!
Looks Great Magdad ! Nice Job 👍 . A Good Useful Tool and Fun To Make. I'm Still Playing With My HO Slot Cars Got the Track Running Good. Keeping My Eyes Out for Older T-Jets Now. As I Have 5 New Autoworld Thunderjet Cars . 😊
Thanks Wayne! Those old slot cars are hard to come by!
@@357magdad Yeah, Nothing Up Here in NH Yet for Cars . I Did Get Enough Track for A Small Setup + 2 Controllers, And A Transformer from The 60's Though Cheap ! $20 !
Very good repurposing of an unused tool. I will check out that angle guide I could possibly use that. Good video.
Thanks Dale! I've used it on a few projects now - it seems to work well!
That'll be with you forever.
Nice project. I should clean my footprint putty knives now I've seen this really..
Thanks Alex!
You used the disk sander! Not popular on RUclips. Glad I’m not the only one:)
That 5" disc sander comes in handy for squaring up screwdriver tips!
Great idea and outstanding outcome! It's gonna be real handy!
Thanks Vic! You should scrounge up a rusty old putty knife and make one yourself!
You can really come up with some great ideas Magdad! I have an old butchers ( I’m an old butcher) knife I have been using thats really shot. I see a replacement coming in the near future. Thank You for sharing this idea. Yours turned out awesome!!
Thanks Jack! Give it a try!
That should be useful. I have made a mini block plane iron out of one of those, it holds an edge better than I expected. Nice job!
Thanks! The blade seemed to have a nice temper.
Great project Magdad! I'm sure you have inspired many people to make one for their shop. Probably a great one to keep in the car too. Don't tell Chuck that you didn't Flitz it. 😆Great video!
Thanks Mike! I hope some folks give it a try!
Great idea indeed, and a job well done. Thank you
Thanks!
I love the knife. Thanks so much for sharing and have a good one.
Thanks! You should make one too!
I think I just might. You should make a scraper knife challenge. Thanks for sharing.
That is really cool!!! Try a version without breaking the spines edges. Makes for a better paint/varnish scraper. Sparks ferro rods nicely to.
Thanks for watching!
Nice GP utility knife. Not bad.
Thanks John!
That's pretty cool Magdad and it turned out and works great!
Thanks Ivan!
Next 357MagDad challenge: Make a Bowie knife into a paint scrapper.
I've been know to try converting just about anything into a hammer...
Cool project and great idea MagDad! That should come in super handy to have around the shop.
Thanks! I hope so!
Nice recycled tool project, looks like a good all around utility knife.
Thanks George! It was a fun little project! You should make one!
Great idea and and super useful knife
Thanks John!
What a great idea...it turned out great. Cheers
Thanks Joe! You should make one!
@@357magdad I think I will. It would be a great dedicated knife to break down my Amazon box pile. Cheers
As always, a great project and end product!
Thanks James!
Fun stuff Bud!! Not Flitz worthy, I love it!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! Chuck is picky about what we polish!
Nice work. I did a similar project but my putty knife blade was somewhere in thickness between yours here and the thin flexible one you showed. It is a handy knife to have on the bench. I do want to find a thicker blade though.
Thanks! I hope you find a good candidate!
Good outcome. Only thing I would have done different is beat off the plastic handles and made wood scales. Thanks.
Thanks Tony! Wood handles would be a good upgrade!
That scrapper has found a new purpose in the tool box thanks to you Magdad!❤❤❤
Thanks Stephen! You should make one!
Really cool project. The knife looks awesome and I'm sure will get lots of use in your shop.
Thanks! I'm lookin' forward to putting it to work!
Great job , Looks awesome . Definitely a nice project to do . 👍
Thanks! It was a fun project!
Great bit of recycling, though you would change the handle to a wooden one but that plastic responded really well sanding. I'm off to look for one myself now! 👍🏻
A wood handle would be a nice upgrade!
Awesome! Going to try that….great video!
Thanks John! Send me some photos of your putty knife-knife!

Nice! Great way to create a most useful shop knife. And thanks for the heads-up (and link) about the angle guide -- going to get one.
Thanks Bob! I hope you have success with the angle guide.
Genius
I've been wanting to make one of these for a while!
I love these kind of projects. and knives, who doesn't love knives, another great one 357.
Thanks! It was a fun project!
Wow 🤩 great job and that’s a very useful tool too 👍
Thanks! It should come in handy around the shop!
You got a stout shop knife now!
It should come in handy!
Great idea! I love how it turned out. Nice shape as well
Thank you!
Great conversion of an old putty knife. It came out really well.
Thanks! It was a fun little project!
A very functional knife. Well done.
I would have Flitz'd it though. Ha ha.
Good job, I am sure that knife will be useful for you.
Looks like it can take a good batoning without damage.
Thanks! It should be a handy shop knife!
I want to make one like this with a single bevel to double as a marking knife... I like it a lot.
Go for it! It was a fun project!
Nicely done - I would have never though to do that!
Thanks Chris!
great, I built one a while ago. I have now tested it as my EDC knife and it is working really good
Thanks! It was a fun project! I'm glad your turned out well!
Very nice Magdad! Looks like what I call a stop cut knife which I use to mark and stop a chisle cut... I also thanks to you have been using a lot of bluing in my knife builds . It looks good when theres pitting... kinda accentuates the patiena. I like that look.
I'd love to see some photos of your projects! 357mdad@gmail.com
Nice!
Thanks Tony!
Great usable project.😊
Thanks Kim!
Very well done Magdad
Thanks Michael!
Nice one Magdad and quite resourceful. Cheers mate, Stu.🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart!
Lanyard hole is brass also. Would look nice cleaned up.
The grommet in the hanging hole is brass plated steel. Most of the brass plating is worn away.
Nice Work Professor! Very useful around the shop for sure.👍..I might have to give it a try.
Thanks! Give it a try!
That was very cool. And thanks for the amazon link.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Ben!
Hi. Just wanted to say thank you again. It was a pleasure meeting you at Jacktown today. I also must apologize to your wife as my wife reminded me after smacking me in the head 😅😅. Please let her know that we love all her creations and she is very talented……
Mike
It was great meeting you Mike! I hope you had fun at Jacktown! Mrs Magdad says thank you.
Very good idea thank you for the video
Thanks Joe! I'm glad you liked it!
I might make one just to see how it would be cutting drywall. I think something you can resharpen would be good.
Give it a try!
I did enjoy the video! What a cool and handy project. I did get that angle guide a while back using your link in another video you made. It's really nice to have and I appreciate you listing these items. I never would have known about that guide if it wasn't for you. Thanks for all these videos and all the information you provide too. I wonder if ScoutCrafter and will be trying this project out? 🤓
Thanks! I'm glad you like the angle guide!
@@357magdad 👍
Brilliant
Thanks Sarah!
Pretty sharp idea. (pun intended)
Thanks Phil!
Good.
Thank you!
Very cool, Magdad! I've never seen one of those angle attachments for the 1 x 30. I've got to get one. I was wondering what went into your choice of 25 degrees for a knife. Most knives are ground shallower than that, I think. Looks great though!
Thanks for watching! I included an Amazon link for the angle guide in the description. I was trying to approximate the angle guide that came with my Smith's Tri-Hone.
Polish the brass? grommet in the hanging hole too? I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching! The hanging hole has a brass plated steel grommet.
Neat idea I use to make knives out of old mercer Simonds and nickelson files a new idea. Lowes sells made in usa werner scrapers and puddy knives for under 10 bucks out of high carbon steel. That's one cheap made in the usa knife take that Benchmade 😆.
You can get allex made in Japan stainless FL tang scrapers for cheap on az. That's also a cheap made in Japan knife.
Thanks Matt! Check out my file knife projects:
ruclips.net/video/R-VczASJ7-Y/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/3ox5JfL9V1Q/видео.html
Very similar to what I did people loved them everyone I made family members took them. I ran out of old rusty files 😆. Maybe do the same thing with new scrapers like I suggested werner has a made in the usa line like I said or exotic allex from Japan. Allex makes fantastic cheap scissors from Japan some of the utilty ones would make a fantastic knife if you took it apart.
For only $19.95 you will get the Gisu Putty Knife It will cut It will kill and it can even cut your fingers off LOL Great idea making a Putty Knife into a knife ... Good luck with the 2 videos a week looking forward to seeing more extra content looks like you have a little time on your hands did you just Retire from your job ???? .. Take care and enjoy your Sunday
Thanks Roger! I hope you enjoy Wednesday's video!
One is a scraper and one is a putty knife. They have two different purposes
I agree Tim! Most people call them both putty knives though.
@@357magdad I like repurposing items. It saves me money. Good video
@@timclements-dh9sq Thanks! It was a fun project!
Come on Magdad , where was the flitz?
Chuck was bummed too.
👍‼️
Could you just submerge this in the solution rather than brush it on???
Dull
Did you miss the part where I shaved hair off my arm?
That came out great! Nice woik!😅
Thanks!
