Two big thumbs up, lately I've been very interested in learning how to make knives. This video was very helpful to me. Thank you. PS I'm really looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Just recently came across your channel. I'm considering getting into knife making and really appreciate your videos. Thanks for putting these out there.
What a great video. I've watched so many on RUclips researching how to get into knife making and this one nails it. Many thanks and keep making the vids 👍.
I notice you making your own tools, and remarking about how much emery cloth you go through. Here is a tip, take a strip of emery cloth and, using your favorite wood glue, glue the strip of emery cloth to an equal size strip of leather, like a length of an old belt, use a high quality cloth backed emery cloth, to give some longevity to your new "Belt Sander" Pah-ha-ha-ah-ha, I crack me up. Really enjoyed you video, man you do a good job, and your narration is easy to understand, the simplicity is great, and all of the tools you have made, really cool dude, thanks.
Seriously very good video. Lots of step by step, but I really appreciated the tips you picked up along the way based on your trial and error. Subscribed. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the command of the trade compliment. somedays it sure doesn't seem like it, but it's always enjoyable to continue to learn it. Cheers!
this is beautiful.. im slowly working on my own with hand files.... so ill be done in 2017... i dont have a lot of free time.. lol but all this filling... is kind of zenning me out..
+JTD19881369 yeah, I hear you. I used to hand file my blades and it's a lot of work. I'm actually doing a little video series on hand filing a knife (I've had a lot of requests for it) and in a way I'm not really looking forward to filing blades by hand again... But, that's why I'm just making a small neck knife:) How big of a blade are you working on?
JTD19881369 right on. One of my first knifes I made was a garden knife of similar dimensions. I still use it all the time. I hope comes together for you quickly and that that finishing it up doesn't take forever (like it seems too). Cheers!
Really like this. I’ve made a couple knives totally using hand tools. I like your method of heat treating. Very simple and inexpensive. Wish I had a belt grinder for perfect blade angle. 👍🏼thumbs up!
Very good video... crisp & informative ("just the facts" Mam!?!). The Lil Bush-crafter knife is just right: elegant simplicity... Really like your wise approach to bench-making! Thanks
+Simple Little Life Mate would you consider taking an order for a knife like that? I like the blade shape and I like the handle, my only extra requirement would be if you could leave a couple of extra mil protruding out the end of the handle so I can use that for hammering/cracking stuff?
Yeah for sure. I've actually been drawing a few designs with some of the tang sticking out to use as a window breaker. If you want you can email me at jeremy@homesteadknives.com and we can discuss further. Cheers!
It’s actually called a sharpening choil a finger choil is larger to accommodate your index finger. I think this is one the best videos on knife making I’ve seen thus far. Thanks for sharing it with us. I like your description of the many sharp tools you end up with while learning this skill. Even the ones I mess up I still put a handle on them for practice. Maybe I’ll call them knools. Knife/ sharp tools. Lol 😂
Of all the knife making videos I've seen this has to be the best. The information, your voice, and the camera work was perfect.
Seriously beautiful knife.
Thank you!
Bloody oath, I just don't have the machinery for it.
Happy Camper you can do all of that with hand tools that's what I do except I have a power med drill but you can have a handheld one that'll work fine
I TJack Survival
I've never seen a complicated process made to look not only simple but fun! great job and that's a really nice knife.

This popped up on my feed! So cool to watch where you where at when you made this knife vs today👍
Hahaha, thank you! I just gave it a quick watch and it cracked me up😆 could I be anymore serious? 😆👍
That knife is gorgeous. Good job.
This is my favorite style or design for a field knife, works for fish, wood, and anything else I might do! Terrific...
Thank you very much!

That roundy thing at the beginning of the cutting edge is a choil. In this case, a sharpening choil. Beautiful blade by the way!

My neighbor is a Master Smith so he is making me learn how to do it freehand, I am not very good right now lol

How big of a blade are you working on?
+Simple Little Life its about 4 inches long and one inch wide i figure its just going to be some sort of utility knife..
JTD19881369 right on. One of my first knifes I made was a garden knife of similar dimensions. I still use it all the time. I hope comes together for you quickly and that that finishing it up doesn't take forever (like it seems too). Cheers!
I love that you describe everything and every step :)
