Old Hickory 7 inch Butcher Knife Drop Point Modifications

- Modifying a Old Hickory 7 inch Butcher Knife into a drop point Buchcraft/Hunter Style knife. Blade length is about 4 in. overall length is about 8.5 in. I trimmed and re-profiled the blade and modified the tang for a more ergonomic handle. For the handle I did a coke bottle style shape with a slight palm swell. It is way more comfortable than the original. I used wider scales made of cherry and contrasting maple. I wanted to reuse the original scales but one side cracked while removing them. The pins are brass 10-24 machine screws. The edge is a convex grind as the thinness of the blade makes grinding a scandi edge more difficult. I purchased the Harbor Freight 1x30 belt grinder and this is my first project using it and it worked well. I will be making a sheath for this knife in the future
Beautiful. The best how to I've seen. And
I broke a scale while modifying an old hickory knife too. I must say that your handle came out looking much better than mine did. Great job!
Wow, beautiful!
Thanks for posting this…not only the content, but the music and editing were both spot on!
Very good video, great music and well produced. Very few people realize just how useful an old hickory can be and you did an excellent job of modifying it with great attention to detail.
I bought the same Old Hickory and turned it into a Kephart style. I let my SIL cut some meat with it today. He was shocked at how sharp it was.
Good Job.👍👍
That was an amazing job. You really are talented. I wish I had a workshop like yours.❤
Smart idea 💡 🎉❤
Very well done.
This turned out awesome. Good video.
You did a great job.
Thank You
Just modded mine. Shaped it like a Kellam Tracker and ground the handle more barrel. Great knife. Added a d ring and belt loop to the stock sheath. You did a great job.
Great job keep up the good work
Nice knife!
Great looking knife...Great job!!! Wish I had the tools to do that...
It's actually possible to do this kind of project with very limited tools. Check out some other videos on the topic and you will see that all of this equipment is making the job easier and quicker, but is not needed at all :)
Beautiful work I need one like that !
Indeed,looks great
Excellent..
Great work,I recently bought one myself
Great 👍video it came out awesome
Excellent!
Nice!
Very nice! Damn!
Don’t you worry about the blade temper with the cutting and sanding
You notice that he's dipping the blade in water to cool it, right?
Is it a convex grind? Looks awesome
👍👍👍👍😁😁😁
blunt tip
Could you make a Santoku knife out of a Old Hickory cleaver?
why waste a beautiful original knife
There’s a gazillion of them out there, and old hickory didn’t make what he wanted. This man skill made something useful to him.
Its not an old old hickory
Ontario knife are still running them I get their 2nds and do the same
👍🏻
What!? No $400 supersteel survival knife? You will DIE
You did great work…but it is a sin to modify an old hickory blade! Could have cut that pattern out of a circular saw blade and done the same project…not destroy a perfectly designed knife blade to do it!
Perfectly designed? I have that exact knife that was my dads, its older than me and i am 45. I have never used it because its a design i dont have a use for. I use scimitar style blade for butchering so this just sits in my knife bag.
Heck af a way to ruin a great knife imo
How is it ruined? He took a knife that isnt used and turned it into a useable bushcraft blade.
100$ cash
I don't understand all of the hoopla over these knives? They are ugly, utilitarian inexpensive kitchen knives without much appeal even in the kitchen. The handles are the ugliest thing about the knife too. Why waste your time doing this modification, unless it is to practice your knife making skills.
Mine is a 5 3/8 inch blade old hickory,I guess it's original. Hate to see you ruin a perfect knife but it's yours. If you were to roll around mine in your hand like that you might loose a finger.
How is it ruined? Looks more useful to me
