    My 3 yr old girl will have a blast watching this one with me... ("Daddy, I want to watch Jimmy making a BIG knife" was a recurring theme a few weeks back). bzw, my kids love when you make signs too, tons of signs, with letters and numbers, yeah.

  • @lbcustomknives
    @lbcustomknives 8 лет назад +7

    Jimmy just a little advice, when making a knife like this.. Where the handle and blade meet, there needs to be a radius, as the square section can cause what is known as stress risers in the steel. It doesn't have to me massive just a small radius with a round file prevents this take care and keep up the great work

    Hey jimmy, dont' know if you know this, but it's just a suggestion so you dont wear out your belts. If you ever decide to make something else from that giant saw blade again, and you're not worried about time. Soak your cut out piece(s) in apple cider vinegar for maybe a day or two to remove the rust depending on the amount that's built up. I've done this multiple times with tools and scrap metal ive used for knife making and it works great.

  • @matthewmarting3623
    @matthewmarting3623 8 лет назад

    Looks good +JimmyDiresta ! Something I've discovered is that its pretty easy to put a chamfer/angle/round on the "bolster" part of the handle scales (that transitions to the blade) if you clamp them up using the pins as a reference before you put the knife handle between them. I usually use belt sander +/- files. You can get all kinds of transitions that way (even carve it a bit) and if they're a bit off it doesnt matter - once it's attached to the knife, the blade is inbetween the two and you can't visually compare one side to another.

    Now THAT'S a dang knife. Beautiful work. One question: did you temper that blade after quenching in oil? If you didn't, it'll be brittle and will likely shatter under normal work or if you drop it point-on. Given that you seem to know your business, I reckon you must have or it's a decorative piece. No matter what, that there is a thing of art.

      @johnsmith-sw7ii 8 лет назад

      +Brandon Darensburg No....At 4:50 he is hardening the steel which makes it very hard and brittle. It must be reheated after this at a lower temp to temper the steel and make it less brittle. Some put it in a toaster oven at 400F for 2 hours...other guys like to heat it with a torch until a desired color appears. Opinions vary BUT MUST BE TEMPERED or it will snap. Put an old file in a vice and hit it with a hammer and you will see....file will snap right in half.

    In the end it seems to be a bout between steel and sand paper. I'm always amazed that the sandpaper wins in the end. Sure, it has the advantage of an electric motor at its back. But I'm curious, how much steel can you sand away before you have to change out the sand paper belt???
    So what was this old saw blade? It looks like a cross between a saw blade and an old mushroom anchor.

    That would be a great display option, showing where the blade was cut from.

    I find it really interesting that the sparks on the belt sander follow the belt all the way around. Instead of being thrown off after the first or even second 90* turn let alone going through 4 - 90's*
    Awesome knife!!!!

      +2LateIWon I noticed the exact same thing. It looks like each corner loses about 80% of them though.
