Knife Making with Wood and Brass Handle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Today at Switch & Lever we're making a knife using a ready made knife blade, walnut and briar wood and brass detailing.
If you're interested in making your own sheath from leather I recommend going to Ian Atkinson's channel Leodis Leather and looking at some of his videos: / satansbarber

Beautiful work all around !!
Cheers! I appreciate it!
Switch & Lever
Thank you for the comprehensive look at this process. You made a lovely knife handle.
Easily one of the most beautiful, elegant knives ive ever seen. Higely inspirational
That knife turned out beautifully ... I am even more amazed at the shop used to process all of the work!
Thats a very well equipped workshop.
Great video! So impressed how well the finished knife came out!
Thank you!
Excellent video. Top craftsmanship
I love this series. Great work!
For a simple cut out it turned out nice. That style with CMP s30v for the blade and a sheath up to Ian's standards well, you have a real blade.
Thanks Dude I really enjoyed that. A simple but great design lan puts on.
Great job.
I wish I had the tools to make this amazing knife good job
You don't really need much more than a hacksaw, a couple of files and some sandpaper. The powertools just make it easier and faster, not of better quality.
I'm not mad about the blade to be honest, but the handle, I am making a knife for my Dad just now, and I think I will use your ideas on it. Great build and video, thanks for sharing.
Really nice work there, Daniel. The work put into finishing really shows
That's stunning. Very nice job.
Great video! Fun to watch.
On top of your amazing skills, I would like to say you have very good taste. Your finish is sober and beautiful.
It's nice to finally see someone make a 'homemade' knife with the proper tools. I understand most people don't have a mill, but hardly anyone even seems to have a vertical bandsaw. I would have liked to see more effort put into the blade, but nice work overall.
Brilliant video
Beautiful!
it's an amazing workpiece. if i see it I wouldn't even care if the knife is good of bad because that handle is just beautiful
Beautifully Done!
Great job. Loved it.
That turned out beautifully again, great video!
This was exactly the video I was looking for, since i'm making an almost identical knife. Cheers :).
Gorgeous knife and as per usual an excellent video
Enjoyed the video and it is a beauty!
Beautiful knife, well done.
Nice. Well done. Great inspiration.
Good work ,I'll give that a try myself👍
In regards of leather sheaths, Ian is tops in that
Wonderful... Thank you for this tutorial... So motivating...
Very nice!
very nice work clean with a nice aesthetic excellent work
Beautiful knife and thank you for the informative video !
Very nice looking knife!
nice craftsmanship there mate. well done on the tutorial too.
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!! i like it!!
Excellent 👌
Very nice knife handle. I'm not a knife expert, so I'm not going to make any comments that the quality of the handle is superior to that of the stamped, mass-produced blade.
That's a really nice handle!
Velmi pěkná práce, moc pěkný nůž.
Very cool!
Thank you!
So funny and very Condescending video, good ending and handle looks great, YES something good, recommending "Ian Atkinson", he is a master at making Knife sheaths. PEACE :-)
Beautiful bro...great piece of art!
Nice Knife
Beautiful.
I would like to say; Well done!
That means a lot coming from you, I highly admire the work you've been doing shown on your channel! Very beautiful knives!
Switch & Lever The same to You! Subbed. Thanks, Osmo
very nice!
nice. it inspired me to make one like Yours.
Awesome work! I really enjoy your videos.
Cheers!
Great work. You are better at knife handles than me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good job
Ärat vare Gud i höjden, denna har jag gjort i slöjden!
Lite så, fast långa vägar bättre än den abysmala kniven man själv gjorde en 20 år sen.
Looks great. I might have drilled right through the handle and peened the steel over to secure the end cap to make it more robust.
waw ....very very very , nice job , realy nice
i love the handle, beautiful knife man!
Two thumbs up
That knife is a real beaut.
Beautiful
That's AWESOME I want it
Great video, thanks for sharing
Beautiful handle. Well done and ty for video.
Another fine video. This makes me want to make a blade form an old file, and then make the handle from some bois d arc wood that is local to me.
I was considering that, but I couldn't find an old file. Will have to hunt around in flea markets a bit to stock up.
Snyggt jobbat!!!
awesome job
Well done !
As usual, an excellent tutorial. You've created a very nice knife. However, I personally would never have cut the tang so short. Even with modern day epoxy adhesives, using only glue won't guarantee a securely fitted handle. I would always consider either drilling through the handle and tang and use rivets to secure the handle, or leave the tang long, thread the end of the tang and screw on the brass finial.
Thanks for the video.
Stuart
I've heard the same thing many times, but I've fitted blades for a long time like this and I literally have never had any issues with blades coming out. Heck, I have a knife from my childhood that my dad made where the wood of the handle is literally falling apart (from me beating on it with a hammer as a kid) and the tang is still solid in the handle. I wouldn't really worry, as long as you provide enough grip for the glue, i.e. notch the handle and make sure it's absolutely grease and dirt free before gluing.
Switch & Lever. Personal preference that's all.
No no, I get that, just saying I've never had any issues 🙂
very creative
Awesome!!!!
great video,helped me out alot.
Hey mate you have a lot of different sanders do you do it for a living or hobby?
Thats a good looking and well made knife. Already waiting for next video :)
It will come in a few days, and hopefully I'll be back to a more regular uploading schedule after that. Thanks for watching!
Switch & Lever Thank you for making interesting videos. :)
Beautyfull knife. Sr. Very very nice work on that knife congrats. I subed
Have you done a video showing what tools you currently use? I'm working on my first knife, and I was hoping you had some suggestions for a guy making knives on a TIGHT budget? (Belt sanders, bench grinders, drill presses, etc.) Thanks! Awesome looking handle. Subbed! :D
Sorry, what I meant was, do you have a favorite online source to buy small quantities of brass sheets, rods or blocks? Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge, I'm a fan.
+umberto4321 Still, that's my point, without knowing where you are I couldn't even begin to advice, and unfortunately unless you are located in Sweden I can't really help I'm afraid. Getting small amounts of metal material locally is always better, as shipping tends to become expensive as weights increase.
Very, very nice work and design !
Wish I could work as fast as you do here ;-)) !
I wish I could work as fast as I do there. Haha!
Nice
Spark when using the bandsaw at 2:55 !
sweet knife, very nice shop tools. the pommel should be pinned if the knife is planned to be used to do real work, epoxy will suffer to shock under cold temperatures.
Very nice work. Subbed.
So clean ! +1
Nice job a lot of info thanks
Nice work. Looks like you might have been able to save yourself some material and time however if you had cut the initial stock a bit closer to final shape. The handle is gorgeous though.
good job. good vid.
Very nice work, and a beautiful design.
I also like that horizontal belt sander with the spindle sander at the end. I wonder if there's some way to give it a table that wouldn't interfere with using the nose of the belt too? Maybe a pivoting support that let's you move it aside?
-- Mike
Yeah, I've been considering the same. The issue being mainly since it takes different size spindles, for different radiuses, you'd have to make one table for each size (3 or 4 sizes I believe) and that would be a bit of a hassle.
Switch & Lever Build one table that space for an insert around the spindle, then you only need to make an insert for each size spindle.
WELL DONE
Brilliant
The epoxy looked easy to work with since it was so fluid. Is it the one called z-poxy PT-40 Finishing Resin?
Nice 👍💐
nice
Really nice job there. Just subbed.
great knife and great vid!
what is the polish compound you use with the dremmel?
Very nice, but why did you glue the brass pommel on and not pien the knife handle into it for better strength?
Unless you're planning on using the pommel as a hammer I don't expect the glue to come apart. It's all personal preference though, I don't personally like the look when the tang comes out the back.
that was a bauteful handle.
you are wery talented.
by the way how long did it take to fhinished it?
: a beautiful knife...well done mate!!! what's the blade material??
wow awesome and butiful work! :) I really like it! :)
Snyggt!
Beautiful knife. What cement do you use.
Most beautiful amongst all the other knife's on youtube. On question for you, can you please tell me where you bought this knifeblade. I was searching the other day for a webshop but they were all in the U.S.A. (I live in Belgium... ;-) )
Unfortunately I cannot. As I mentioned in other comments, I don't remember where I bought the knife blade. However, it was a cheap blade, and I think it was from an online store in Sweden. There are quite a few online stores with blades like these though, one of the most popular European ones is brisa.fi (in Finland). I bet you could find what you want there.
thanks for the help, greets to the white scandinavian wilderness
wow that is a beauty . so you just epoxy the brass on the pummel part ?
That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't trust the pommel to stay attached very long just epoxied into the end of the wood.
Where do you get your brass and other metals?
Is it possible to find out which bandsaw and which blades you´re using?
Thank you very much.
Not to be offensive or anything... But your hands are like so clean. :P
Not sure how that's offensive, unless you're trying to be sarcastic, in which case I challenge you to spend a day in a workshop and have clean hands throughout, without wearing gloves constantly or washing your hands every five minutes.
No, what I said might offend some people. What I'm trying to say is, is that you keep your hygiene on spot! :D If you look at DiResta and those other lads, they have dirty hands lol.
RiceChoppy Hahaha, well, that's how it's supposed to be! The reason I commented as I did was because I've gotten more than enough comments about having dirty fingernails, which couldn't bother me at all, but seems to really disturb some people.
Switch & Lever I hate to wash my hands when I am in the shop.
warpfire037 If I was just in the workshop it wouldn't be a problem, but as I'm often moving between workshop and computer washing my hands becomes imperative. I'd rather not have my computer covered in grease and dust if I can avoid it.
