How many knives have you made?
I’ve made 13. Just finished my 13th one. It has 200 layers all by hand and a redwood handle.
3, with a 4th close to finishing! 🙏🏻
Nice
Wowsa!
I think I'm 12 deep as far as completed. Plenty of scrap on the wall of shame.
As a new knife maker, I have watched a tone of videos for "beginners" and I have to say that I believe this series is the most comprehensive and easy to understand. Thank you
I like the way you called it: knife making is a fluid art! I like the change you made in the plunge line! knife looks much better! Great tutorial Airin!
I found that I can turn on Chinese subtitles on my phone. This is a really great update. So I can watch your show on my phone instead of my computer. 🍻
That is awesome!
Good video as usual, clearly and very concisely explaining what you are doing and why, something few really do well on here, well done and thanks
I love this retake / new overdub of this classic video of yours that TRULY got me to where I am at now. I think this video series single handed got me to a comfortable point making knives, creating bevels, etc. I watched the originals, and they were SUPER helpful, and these new overdubs are amazing extra content, you better believe I am watching again!
Thank you!
Love the Bengal shop help 😂
I really enjoy your videos. You are pleasant and easy to follow.
Thanks Chris!
Good job, Airin. Looking forward to Part 3 already, dude!!
🤜💥🤛
Thanks Pete!
I like to use sharpie when i dont have layout fluid. Works great, blue shows the lines the best, followed by black.
When it comes to clamping down small work, I can't be bothered clamping everything down as it can be a pain when the work moves a bit when you are clamping. A good compromise it to have a clamp on your sacrificial piece of wood so one end of the work being drilled rests up against it, or will do if it rotates. It makes life so much easier and safer.
yes sir!
Another fantastic, informative video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Robert!
For pin layout I like to cheat 1-2mm above the centerline towards the spine. After the contouring the bottom of the handle, center aligned pins can still it can look visually low. I mainly work with chef knives with larger handles so this might exaggerate the effect. Lots of good info, thanks for posting
Neat idea!
I was about to take a sloppy shortcut on the blade I'm working on, but this video reminded me to make myself get that 90 degree cut on the tang. Thanks!
Cheers Bryson!
Great series! I have my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knives started in different stages. One is a hidden tang and the other two are full tang
I like to mix it up also
I recommend working without gloves on the grinder. Yesterday i was working and the tip of my glove got caught in the gap between the belt and the flat plate. Took it right off my hand. Good thing i hadnt tightened the velcro strap around my wrist.
Well that's scary!
Thank you
100% Ryan!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome Stephen!
You have a friend with you... Helper,
He keeps me company for sure
Great tutorial !! Always full tips and tricks!! Keep em' coming!!
Will do!
Wonderful series. Thanks so much. Can you point out some decent 2x72 grinders? Also, you have a plasma cutter in your links. Can you/have you made a video on its usage with compressed air (is dry air VS regular compressed air a thing?) VS cutters that use tanks of elements?
Interesting! Will do and yes in my experience dry air is critical
No guard on the angle grinder though … 😎
nope
Hi I know you probably mentioned this in a video, but what milling machine do you use for guards? Been making knives for about 4 months and tired of filing for the hidden tangs. Looking for something that works good but won’t break the bank. Thanks!
I personally use a Bridgeport, it's a good old American machine.. You can usually find them for about 1500 bucks the hassle is moving them because they weigh 1200 pounds
What kind of drill bits do you recommend cuz I run through a lot of drill bits that ain't worth a dang
Definitely cobalt!
ALEE where are you buying your precision ground 1095?
Is the New Jersey steel Baron
👌
I called new jersey steel baron, they said they only sell oversized 1095...is that the same as precision ground? Maybe I'm not using the right terminology? 🤔
That's what they call it. Incomes cut perfectly without the edges rolled over. I guess they don't want to call it precision ground because it might vary in thickness slightly from sheet to sheet
@@Aleeknives thanks man! You're videos are so well put together...thank you so much! You're making the process of knife making less daunting
