Heck yeah Cole, major props for going the low tech route. It's humbling to make a life this way at least once a year in my eyes. Very good work.
Thanks James. I am pumped to see the results of this!
THAT SHARPENING RIG IS SO SIMPLE AND GENIUS! ❤
Neat knife build how to.. like how you take the time to explain certain details to be aware of during process.. keep up the good job
i am currently working on a knife making project but i dont have a grinder, this way of filing the bevels is going to help me so much! Thanks!
Glad it could help!
I really love that everyone is putting a limitation on themselves. It makes it a lot of fun, and showcases different aspects of the art.
Thanks Charles! I hope you jump in on the contest!
Such detail in the file work , glad for the education!!
Great video! Thanks for the opportunity to get into this competition. Just a tip while filing the bevels. I find it useful to put a sharpie mark on the edge of the bevel closest to you in order to see where the file is taking material away. It is a little easier to judge when to stop or move the file down.
Thanks Mark! And you are absolutely right. Sometimes I forget about the little things that helped me early on. Definitely would have been a good tip to include.
Just found your channel, I started with the build of of the knife, great videos, thank you!!
Great Vid, always interesting to see the low tech method each person uses, a lot of interesting tips as you watch.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful
Great video. I like the way you went about making this knife. This will be inspiring to guys considering knife making.
Thank you! I really appreciate you jumping in on the sponsored prizes!
Dang a filing jig...I don't miss that thing lol. Remember when I built mine was so excited. It's a good option if your just starting out. I think everyone should at least do one knife that way.
100% everyone should at least do it once. You are not lying though, i will not be sad if i never use it again lol. hope you jump in on this challenge Phillip!
@@Wengelsworkshop I'm actually going to get into this one. I passed on the fantasy build because It was wayyyy out of my comfort zone and I didn't feel like I could finish something on time. I've made this style of knife many times so shouldn't be too time consuming. Hope ya guys get a good turn out. I seen Kyle's knife and its what you would expect.
Nice! And yeah Kyle's knife is beautiful of course!
a very good and explained video. very good job. thx 😊😊😊
My Respects. Ive tried filing in bevels like that. Made me miss my 2x72 very much.
Thanks JP! I dont plan on doing this again lol. Shit was rough
I am wanting to start knife making and this video was so handy!
Hey buddy I really like the jig you made for putting an edge on the knife! I’m in the process of making myself one
This is so cool.
Hey
Do you have a video on how you made your paint-can heat treat furnace? Would be great to copy
Amazing! I love your channel! I’ve watched a ton of your videos. Being someone who has never actually made a knife. How long would you say it took you to hand grind that blade (using a file and sand paper) once you already had it cut out
Just curious because I might try to make one. Thanks!
Thanks for the support Jason! I think it took me about 1.5 hours per side with the file. And maybe another 1.5 hours sanding total. It is very time consuming but is so worth it in the end. It is so rewarding to make a knife. I would highly recommend making one!
What respirator would I need for this, I have a few but I wouldn’t want to use the wrong one.
Do you know what angle you set the jig to get the bevel that high? I did it on accident when I bought my jig.
I'm making my first start to finish knife starting next week. Making it from an old bastard file my grandfather saved to make a knife from. It's not uniform in thickness, so it'll be interresting to attempt. I'm thinking of buying some different steel in the mean time lol
Awesome! I would definitely recommend picking up some steel so you know exactly what you are working with. if you want your grandfathers file to become an heirloom i would recommend saving that until you have made a few knives and have more skills. good luck either way!
Im in for the win. But what do I do with yet another of my brainchild’s? Haha.
Good old BA VanDer SanDer.
I might just use that for the whole build ?
Done it before. So it works!!
Exactly where I’ve designed it for. 😊
That's awesome!
hi just watched ep 1 one beginners knife making video what is the angle required for apex of blade ? Tom.
Wow amzing
Thank you!
I don't use anything but a hammer and a forge then I use a hand file to clean it and sharpen it
good job 👍
Thank you!
Nice video. Are there any specific size requirements for this knife? And does the knife have to be a full tang?
Thank you. Yes please download and use the template. Mainly bc if you dont go off of the template we dont really know if you actually made the knife for this contest. however you could use damascus or hamon or any other finish you want. jimping, file work any combination of handle materials is all fine. hope you jump in contest!
@@Wengelsworkshop alrighty, thank you so much I’ll get started soon
Kool
Kyle made some small adjustments to the design, are participants allowed to do that too or does it have to be 1:1?
Preferably stick very close to the profile, but you can change anything else.
What’s the little oven called
Is there a guideline on what steel to use for viewers to enter the contest? or can we do whatever we choose? Damascus or whatever
Any steel you want Jay. looking forward to seeing what you make!
@@Wengelsworkshop thanks. And btw great knife and video as always.
Thank you Jay!
Never heard before that steel is poisonous requiring a respirator to safely work.
Yeah. Not listed as being poisonous on any tech sheet I can find.
However, can severely irritate lungs and airways, mouth and sinuses, eyes and skin. Prolonged exposure is a possible cause of lung cancer and other lung conditions. But it’s not poisonous.
All those tiny little filings and steel dust your breathing in? That’s not good for your lungs is it
@@TheLamoramaks not good for you, yes. Poisonous, no.
@@andrewallason4530its really arguing semantics at this point. Grinning metal throws dust into the air and it’s bad for your lungs. It gives you welder lung and other issues that shorter life. Just wear a respirator. That’s all we need to focus on.
Can we still win the competition if we make the knife with damascus or san mai?
Absolutely. Aside from the profile you can change whatever you want!
I’m in but no way am I using files! 😂. Awesome work as always!
Hahaha I didn't want to, but I wanted a video that would show the newbies without tools. It was so much damn work and I will not be doing it again any time soon!
What are the different grits of sandpaper you used?
in this case the scratches were very deep bc it was ground with a file so i had to start with a low grip sand paper. i think it was 60. but say if you use a belt grinder and finish with a grit like 220 i would start hand sanding with maybe 150
How do i identify 1084 steel? Is there methods that i can use?
Not other than buying it from a reputable source
You cut out the template didn’t show it
Where could I get that template?
There used to be a link in the video description. Does it no longer work?
how thick is the metal you uses?
If you are making the knife with a file like I did 1/8 of and inch or roughly 3 mm. Anything thicker adds a lot of time to the filing process that already takes a lot of patience.
@@Wengelsworkshop thanks, you are doing a good work on all knives you are making
I would had loved to see you cut the knife out.
What if you have a 2x48 grinder 😅
If you have made less than 10 knives you can qualify for novice.
I don’t want to be that guy but, please get handles for you files. Heck, get one handle and swap it between them. Nice work btw.
Why?
@@jimmycamacho3264 because filing without a handle, with the rather pointy tang nestled into your lower palm is a good way of impaling yourself on it. It's inherently unsafe.
U r filing not grinding, just saying.😋😆
lol
Depends on his ‘preference’ 😜
Eye protection. Check!
Respiration? my nose hair has it covered.
Ear protection? Can you speak up?!
Hahahaha nice!
The add you have is to much , I can’t see what your doing .
I usually have the pop ups turned off but you can also x them out. I will go make sure they are turned off though
Red Beard and Royer are no novice knifemakers. They are pros with loads of fancy equipment.
