How to make a Folding Knife

- Today I'm going to make this folding knife using olive wood, steel pipe and an old saw blade. This style of folding knife does not usually have a locking, friction between wood and blade works as a locking,

Next challenge, a safety mechanism. Look at Opinel knives. ;)
PatCat I was about to say the same thing.
Тоже хотел написать про Opinel. Без фиксатора этот нож слишком опасен для того кто его использует. Можно остаться без пальцев.
@@SublustrisRU exactly my little finger confirm that opinal was my first knife and as a chils i miss too turn te safety i carve wood and... u know what is follow x)
@@hugoquelquechosecommeca3560 Just the same, bro!
And in French we call that kind of knife an Opinel from the famous Opinel fabric. Nice job you've done there.
Nice looking knife and good video but if you didn't show the blade being heat treated or tempered which is the main thing that makes a blade a blade as opposed to a blade shaped piece of steel. Also when shaping the blade and grinding in the bevels you didn't show any cooling of the blade such as being dipped in water... if those steps are not done the blade can certainly be sharpened but the edge retention will be poor meaning you need to resharpen often. I know the steel is from a saw blade but the heat put into the blade during shaping and grinding will have ruined some of the original heat treatment process. Also to drill the hole for the blade the steel needs to be annealed which is essentially removing the hardness from the blade by heating and then slowing cooling which will allow the blade to be shaped and ground easier as it will be softer and also for drilling holes and then heat treated again to reintroduce hardness which is essential for longevity and edge retention and so the blade won't easily break under load / pressure. Sorry don't mean to knock your excellent video just wouldn't want people going to all the effort and miss what are probably the most important steps in making a knife.
looks kinda like a opinel but without the lock , awesome job lol
Какой же рукастый человек, очень приятная мастерская. Все очень технологично и чисто.
Взял и сделал ножик Opinel)

Man, I have always admired people like you with this kind of creativity and knowledge of craftmanship.
a very well made pocket knife,and olive wood for the handle a good choice,gets my thumbs up
When you get to drilling the hole, as at 5:08, instead of the dremel approach, use a mapp gas torch to take some of the hardness out. In this way, you will be able to drill the hole and the tang will be less brittle at the pivot point which might keep the blade from snapping off when you use it. You should try heating and drrilling xseveral pieces of scrap at different rates to find the best heat for the material you are using. It does seem odd tome that a saw blade would be that hard/tough to drill.
Your like Gary Gadget. Mad Skills
Beautiful knife! As always you used many smart techniques! Thanks for sharing!
thanks!

mathieu grattepanche thanks!
mathieu grattepanche yes. the trademark is called opinel (i have some ones of them)
Paoson WoodWorking What program do you use to make 3d designs?

- That is... Absolutely awesome workstation!
- Nice folding knife! Although I would be afraid to use it as it has no locking system to prevent it from folding.
You twist the little ring around and it locks.
@@feidhlimoshea8180 thats a beautiful idea , though in this the ring cant be twisted , but ive taken note
@@hrishikeshkartha6806 A French brand called opinell makes knifes like it with locking rings
As always thank you Sir. Please keep up the great work!
Great skills, thank you, Barry .....New Zealand.
I cannot get over how good your plywood looks. I cannot get that anywhere in USA haha
Even if you disregard heat treating the blade, this is still better than any Opinel knife made in the last 50 years.
Gorgeous and classy design! I love the olive wood so much...the grain is stunning. Another cool way to upcycle that saw blade. :)
thank you so much!
MUY buen trabajo, es una autentica Opinel-Paoson, buena idea el corte para poder agujerearla mejor. Enhorabuena por el proyecto!
muchas gracias!
+Paoson WoodWorking nice work olive wood is my favorite to work especially the scent from it 🐾🐺👍
También tenía el mismo problema para agujerear, ahora soy feliz al ver la solución, gracias
¿Opinel? A mí se me asemeja más a una Taramundi :-)
That's great, simple height gauge jig for use with an ordinary caliper.
Hey, tip for "drilling" hss that I've discovered is using grinding bits for dremmels. A lot cheaper than good drill bits and they eat through hss like crazy. They're good for making a pilot hole.
Well the easiest way to drill a hole to that steel is to normalize it...
And do some heat treatment and tempering to your steel project...
Not that easy in HSS, it is engineered to retain high hardness even after being red hot; however, an easier way is to use Bosch Multiconstruction carbide tipped bits, I have drilled fully hardened tool steel with them for handle scale pins onfixed blade knives. Have also seen carbide masonry bits sharpened and do the same
Couldn’t understand how to make a pocket knife done a very good job and explain very good keep the videos coming and I will like them and share Cajun land Church point Louisiana
it's a beautifull knife, and the wood is very nice.
One factor you did not consider it is a locking mechanism. It is one of the most important safety every knife should have.
DIY Opinel it seems, but with better wood. This is a great project!
yeah!
Although the basic wood Opinel uses is beech, they have other options like olive, oak, walnut and bubinga, not to mention the modern artificial materials. Further Opinel's handle is not a simple cylinder, therefore is better for indexing.
Anyhow, this is really a nice diy project.
Workshop on Wheels maybe beach wood or maple tho maple isint the best
Auto correct beech
Workshop on Wheels I totally thought of the Opinel too. Can't believe how simple this design is, have to give it a try.
I learned a cool trick for drilling hardened steel u sharpen the end of a masonry drill bit and watch it go! no shit it works every time just drill slowly and keep oil on your hole. I learned this trick as poor kid growing up on a farm having to repair plow blades and horse drawn equipment. please try it out I promise you will be amazed
thank you so much for your information, I will try it!
im gona try that too, thanks bro :)
Have used a masonry bit on many occasions to drill hardened steel
Horse drawn equipment, was you Amish?
mwillblade Nope not Amish just a West Virginia farm boy
Sir I just discovered your channel, this is the first of your vids that I've seen, and I am very impressed by you self built tooling and a large fan of your video style
Holy crap, that is some amazingly precise work you've got going there.
Better than a Opinel 👍.
A true God given talent!!!! Thanks much and blessings 😇🇺🇸
A opinel knock off... Who would of thought 👌
Looks like an opinel. great work
Nice end result! The only thing I would have done is normalize (let it heat up then cool down slowly) the steel which already was heat treated because the steel is unevenly hardened because on the grinding. In hindsight, your blade is super hard and brittle in spots and soft and in heat treated in places too. The. After you could just re heat treat it then temper in in your oven. From knife maker to knife maker, you did a solid job
Normalizing just brings the steel all to relatively the same hardness
thanks for the information!
CoolGuy Human HSS can actually retain it's hardness at very high temperatures, which is why it makes excellent drill bits
Sean Nesloney you are right, I didn't consider that
The slit in the tang really let's an otherwise awesome build down. a cobalt bit might have made it through.
It may be, I have to buy some cobalt drill bits!
Stunning little knife. Thanks for sharing. Your lathe and sanding set up brilliant too.
thanks!
Safety first, you are professional and you have high safety standards
Excellent job on the knife!
thanks!
Really good work though, i like how smart you are and how you are working ! Youre truly a master of your Work.
I always enjoy the maximum attention you put to every detail. Beautiful knife my friend!!
thanks as always mate!
Homemade Opinel, very nice job
Would guess the heat from the dremel had a small annealing effect on the area you drilled. May consider just using a small torch on the area instead.
станок впечатлил
The machine you have class! And the knife is also good, I myself made crochetes 3 pcs
That’s a beautiful knife.
Looks like an Opinel knife. Like it!
Good job!!! You also used a software to make the design and you gave us some explanation by words.
Great job! Both the knife and the video! Well done!
To drill HSS, use a masonary drill used for bricks and mortar, run at very slow speed, constant down pressure without lifting the drill, and use cutting oil or mineral oil.
very cool homemade lathe.
great knife and build
Very nice, reminds me of an Opinel knife
Superb! A man who knows what he's doing. Great project.
YOU's machines are very good, I saw everything on a stool - on a chair with a vice.
Looks a lot like an Opinel. Nice job.
very nice work, the finish on the wood handle is beautiful.
You are a genius! Great tools you have as well. You really show how someone with a bit of know could make a knife. cutting the blade from a grinding disc is brilliant, keep up the great work.
thank you!

Aww! Awesome knife mate! I really like it
thanks as always!
Brilliant - very relaxing to watch. Thanks
Outstanding quality !!!
Very Nice video 👌
Like from Russia! I had a similar knife brought from France, but the handle had already deteriorated. Your video inspired me to make a new one))
thanks!
Olive wood looks very beautiful, I will have to see if I can get some.
thanks
same as a opinel great video
Great bild and vid 👍👍👍.. tip.. Next time you need to drill hardened steel you can do few things with steel to make your life easier...1st option...use torch and heat area where you like to drill hole until is cherry red color and let it cool down slowly to room temperature ( no water or oil or any other quick cooling) . It's called normalizing or annealing steel. you also can test it with magnet during heating up process (it should NOT) have any magnetic reaction to the steel, that is perfect temperature to stop heating .. Once steel is back to room temperature you can drill and tap just like any other non hardened steel... Another way is to buy expensive carbide drill bits, they can drill into hardened steel..FYI..they work great but they like snap in half especially on small diameters 😁.. Hope this helps.. Good luck.
Carbide bits are sharpened for drilling on masonry. If you want to drill metal, you must change the sharpening angle... at least in my country!!
regards
Your knife looks awesome man ! Thanks for sharing that.
Please, could you make a second video for the blade locking mechanism ?
Thanks
your a genius
I am so glad I found your Channel! I have a lot to learn and build. your videos are going to help complete so many projects. thank you so much for your hard work!
thanks!
genius, all your videos make things easier, thanks
хорошая работа! руки золотые!
Very clever and a lovely little knife .
I like this job ! This folding knife looks very nice !
your tool setup it awesome
muy buen trabajo. quedó igual que la famosa Opinel
ТАК КРЕПКО!!!
БраВо!!
Будь ЗДРАВЪ!!👏👏👏👍🤝
You are an insane Russian mechanical genius. Love your craftsmanship. +1
very nice build mate. looks like a' opinel. love those knives😀
thanks!
Very carefully made knife! It's cool!
Надо попробовать сделать себе такой же 😎
Genius.
That wood is beautiful
Master! It't very interesting project. Gratitude from Siberia!
Good job!
thanks!
Great job. I really like your choice of the wood
Very nice knife
Class, good and accurate work!
Nice multimachine👌
Trie to use olive oil to make the hole in the blade. You gonna be mesmerise. And use it to, to polish the handle.
looks like an Opinel Knife !
Merci pour la traduction en français super sympa d'y avoir penser tous le monde ne comprend pas l'anglais merci encore ! Et bravo pour le couteau il me fait énormément penser à l'Opinel très bon travail félicitation :)
MASHAALLAH khub valo video..........
Nicely made traditional folding knife! Cool project!
thanks!
Krásná práce a máte nádherné nářadí,já gratuluji!!!
You did an awesome job on this project.
superb! so need to make one myself
Just curious, does it easily stay in the open position without a locking system? And could you use a wooden dowel for the handle instead? And a suggestion for the next knife you make, try a secondary bevel and and heat treating. Great entry level knife though!
Beautiful !
Beautiful work
que bello trabajo!! muy buena quedó! !
gracias!
Exelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia 👍
Joli couteau ! La réalisation de ce couteau est de plus bien expliquée, merci ! Jean-Luc
merci
Il est une grande explication!
