Knife Making - Making a Black Bowie Knife

Hello, in this video I show how I made a black bowie style knife. The blade was darkened in manganese phosphate and the handle in a solution of vinegar and steel wool. Watch the video and check how it turned out, leave your like and comment, promote the video to help leverage the channel. Thanks
In this channel you will find videos dedicated to the manufacture of: knife, miniatures, tools, machines, among others.

My hat is off...All those big heavy grinding tools, totally freehand, no computers, no guides, no jigs. Extraordinary skill. And a fantastic result. Wow.

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. Yes, this ends up being very difficult to do, everything doesn't always line up perfectly but I always try to do the best I can. 👍👍👍

Great job! As with anything, some may feel something is wrong, or would have looked or "felt better" if you had done something different. It's YOUR knife, YOUR design, YOUR choice! Some people need/prefer larger handles. I think this is a wonderful job and looks great!

Thank you very very much my friend. Yes, unfortunately some people don't understand this, and end up criticizing you too much. But as you said, it was my choice to do it this way. A big hug for you. 👍👍👍

[@MakerHA]

[@HamzaHamza-wk7uo]

Beautiful beautiful...but I want to ask if it is okay for heavy duty usage without a pin holding the blade to the handle

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. So, I believe it will last for a while. But for very rough use I would recommend using another tool. Because even though this knife has a hole in the handle, the resin works like a pin embedded in the handle. 👍👍👍

[@bernardhill1622]

@@MakerHA
Generally I've also found most modern epoxys suffice as grip to handle, as i myself prefer avoiding pins as they can sometimes be a bit of "overkill" & distracting to the finish you're trying to achieve, particularly when i do Exotic Stone Handle Slabs/Scales carved out 3 dimensionally with i.e., African Wildlife Figures etc.,..as they would say " different Horses for different Courses "..⁉️🤔👍🏻

[@MakerHA]

Yes, I don't like using it either for the same reasons. I could have even put a pin in this one, as it would have ended up being hidden behind the leather. But I got lazy and did it anyway 👍👍👍 @@bernardhill1622

[@MakerHA]

Thanks my friend 👍👍👍

[@FrederikBarfoedBeck]

I really like the way you made the blade.
The handle:
You finalized it before you glued the knife together. What would you have done if the hole in the wood was off-center?
Usually I make the hole, glue the pieces together and then shape the handle. That way you can compensate for any mishap in making the hole in the handle completely vertical.
Just a thought.

[@MakerHA]

Thanks my friend. Yes, I know that, but this hole was very centralized, that's why I did it this way. But I prefer to do as you said, shaping the cado after gluing it, it's much easier and you rarely make a mistake. 👍👍👍

eu tambem primeiro colo o cabo...depois alinho depois de colado na lixadeira. nao corre risco de ficar torto.

Thank you my friend. I used a 4'' angle grinder to cut; a 7'' one for roughing; a belt sander made with a 7'' grinder and an industrial grinder to make the edge on the blade; a micro-grinding machine for finishing the frieze and a bench drill. I think these were the tools I used 👍👍👍

[@walbermoreira2415]

Só uma dúvida, passar a lâmina na lixadeira depois da têmpera, não tem risco de perder a têmpera, o correto não séria afiar na pedra?

[@MakerHA]

Tem risco sim, caso você nao resfrie a lamina constantemente. Se você pressionar muito a lamina contra a lixadeira provavelmente você criara um ponto quente em alguma parte e pode vir a destemperar aquela região. Por isso tem que ser feito com cuidado, lentamente. Eu prefiro fazer assim, pois como deixo o fio com cerca de 0.5 a 1.5mm de espessura é muita coisa para tirar em uma pedra. Se eu deixar o fio com menos do que isso corre o risco de quando temperar venha sofrer algum empeno. Como minha forja nao tem temperatura controlado, ela acaba aquecendo de forma desigual a lamina, e isso pode fazer com que ela empene em alguma parte.

[@user-lm7jr6ub4n]

Question. Is that a leaf spring you are using? If so why would you have to temper it. Shouldn't the spring already be tempered from the factory. Maybe a stupid question but I am a novice.

[@MakerHA]

Yes, it's a car spring. I temper it because the blade comes with a temper with a lower hardness than that used in knives. And as they normally see pies, to untwist them they have to be heated. And if you heat steel you need to temper it again, as you end up removing the temper. Another factor is that when the steel is tempered it becomes hard, which means it is difficult to work with it, which is why I do the hardness removal process to handle it more easily. 👍👍👍
