Making a Half Moon Knife

In this video I make a small knife for leather work from an old rusty circular saw blade. It was an old blade, without carbide teeth, so the steel was hard and could be heat treated.
The major problem was that the metal warped during heat treating and I tried to straighten it while it was warm, as I've seen them do on Forged in Fire... didn't go so well for me, the blade broke and I had to change the design of the knife.
I used mostly hand tools, which was a challenge. This took a lot longer that it would've been with power tools but it was much more enjoyable overall.
The handle was made from olive wood, repurposing an old cutting board.

That time when you forget you were subscribed to a channel and then remember why you did in the first place. Beautiful work, mate. Cheers.
literally me
😂
Me, commenting “awesome video, you got a new subscriber” then realized I’m already subscribed. That has happened to this (me) idiot a couple times 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Love the combination forge/barbecue grill! And I like the final shape! It makes it unique.
Thanks a bunch!
@@TheSmallWorkshop hey! It’s been so long since you last posted! Glad to see your back 😊
Not a forge. He was annealing the steel. A forge gets much hotter.
That small break made it especially customized. You created a fantastic blade and I'm sure it cuts leather as it were butter. Great video.
Thank you Chuck!
Absolutely haha
@@DyslexicMitochondria your username made me click on your profile. Your channel is a hidden gem bro
Missed your videos dude! Gotta say, I love seeing your older creations getting into the videos.
Thanks for sticking around m8!
i like that this is a channel doesn't have bots in their comment
I don't know m8, that "first" guy looks very suspicious!
@@TheSmallWorkshop bruh out of 10 "first" comments, 14 have 0/1 like
the final shape of the tool kinda grew on me the more i watched this video, greta job as always!
The fact that you can free hand that sketch blows my mind, then YOU BRING IT TO LIFE!?!
Probably my favorite video he has uploaded
Wonderful how you handled all the challenges in the video and on the way to the video. Glad you're back. Enjoyed this transformation a lot!
Thank you m8! It was nice talking to you on the other site. You have great content as well, keep up the good work!
Awesome to see something of this quality made with hands tools!
“I’ve made this mistake before…”
As a former prosthetics and orthotics fabrication specialist, I can confidently say that I’ve used a drill press more than once… and I have too.
This is such a "laymans accessible" process. I have everything I need and have been stuck on my lack of a forge. But you have inspired me to give it a go. Beautifully filmed and very entertaining as well. Nice one.
I was just watching your videos, wondering where you have been, and then you post this. My man!
Thanks for still being around m8!
You have no idea how much i have missed these videos
Thank you Brenda!
Yippieee ... It lives again. .. Feels good, to see you back after this long time
Dude, so happy to see you posting again!
(a neighbour in your city :-) changed my RUclips name because of problems)
Multumesc!
@@TheSmallWorkshop cu mare plăcere! Toate cele bune îți doresc!
Красивая деревяшка и нож сам не плох. Не пропадай так на долго.
The return of the king
Good to see you back!
Underrated channel
Sorry to hear you've been unwell mate, certainly hope you get back to full capacity very soon. Don't rush, take your time and get better properly. Oh, and this is a brilliant vid! Thanks so much.
Well... Now i'm hungry for sausages, thx a lot.
:D
my dumb ass would have pushed too hard on the band saw and cut off my finger lol
beautiful craftmanship
I love. so much when the footage is sped up. the manic energy to it. *chef's kiss*
This is my favorite he has uploaded its a shame it doesn’t have that many views
Yup, the channel pretty much died at that point. Every new video performed worse than the one before.
The legend is back!
LOL... legend! But thanks m8!
Me forgetting there was something in that fire:Why the hell you grilling sauseges
Me remembering the knive:hey at least give me some
Glad to see you back!!!!!

Excited to have you back. Great video, love the way you heated the blade 🤣
Cool video. More please!!
Very nice, good to see you back!
I missed your videos! I'm always awed by your expertise. Makes me want to try it myself, maybe one day!
like how you mostly use hand tools
Hmm...you got me thinking with this one. Got a bunch of old handsaws that cost me under £1 each. Wonder what I could make from them...
Really enjoyable and glad to see you back. Please don't push too hard and take care of yourself.
this is amazing, and it truly is a beautiful knife! thank you for this great, great video!
He’s back!! Yes!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!
LOL, thanks!
Great work. Glad you were able to overcome the set back. Wasn't sure you were still out there. Glad to see that you are still posting.
every video you make is a gift man
Great job looks very nice!! Thanks 😊 🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Welcome back!

This is the best channel on RUclips and it’s not even close! I’m thrilled to see another new and awesome creation from you. 👍🏼
Welcome back! Good to see some new content! Hope you and your family have been well.
Wow so amazing
Come full circle 😁 Nice build, thanks for sharing,
Cheers
That sausage looks so good
I love the shape, and please make more videos. This is amazing to watch.
You have really great art and tracing skills
Great Job!
Thanks!
You're a god, we missed you
Beautiful work😊😊
Don't rightly know whether or not it was intended, but take a blowtorch or forge (low heat) and bring the metal to a gold finish with heat to prevent the metal from being so hard it snaps. This is called Tempering. You can likely research the exact steel type to find the proper temperature for your desired Rockwell hardness (usually about 56 for my knives) to maintain its edge as well as prevent snapage. It'll be tough but not brittle. You've taught me some things I didn't know in this video, so I reasoned it would be right to return the favor (assuming I'm not making an ass of myself because you already knew) to a fellow bladesmith. Great knife and great cinematography as well. Cheers!
@miasma wut
Cool 🛠👍😊
Super cool shape! It’s unique! Really liked the video
So good to have you back! Hopefully you will get back soon :)
So glad you are back and amazing video
Thank you!!
Please! It’s almost midnight and I just want to sleep! Spare me oh mighty one. Spare me and my freaking sleep schedule. Please.
LOL, almost midnight... you gotta pump those numbers up, kid!
Wow!! Now this is something really.
Great project, I hope you feel better soon
Very Cool !! Amazing Work !! 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great half-moon with an amazing break-up recovery ! I could never suspect from final product it was not the initially intended shape...
Did you temper the blade at some point ?
Hey man, hope you fell better soon. Health comes first. Always enjoying your work! :)
I have to give credit for your determination to stick with it after it broke
Despite the mishaps it turned out great! I hope you get better soon, best wishes!!
Thank you!
I actually think it looks better that way.
Epic 😎
Thanks!
Omg mam when the hot dogs got put on, I lost it lol
That’s a lot of distance to cut with those lil jewelers saws, must have taken forever! Great video, thanks for sharing it!
it turned out beautiful!! I like the final shape better.
I wish you would share it.
Nice knife. We shared this video in our homemade tools forum this week 😎
In some way, it's satisfying. I love these types of videos. Keep it up!
Amazing
Thanks!

Buna treaba. Mă bucur că te-ai întors, fii sănătos!
Good to see you back , appreciate the content , you got a like from me, keep ‘em coming !!! 😉
Much appreciated!
Hope you feel better soon Dude!
Thanks!
@@TheSmallWorkshop No problem! Glad to see another video from you!
Good job lad, Keep it up love your videos! Long time you didnt upload something
@@TheSmallWorkshop Aw, Hope you get better
It was good to see hand tools used and not going into a engineering workshop well
This channel is absolutely beutiful, i got into watching your content lately and it is pure gold(or pure steel i guess lol). The way you film and edit theese creations and restorations is really incredible and is what differs you from the other flashy edited restoration/creation videos. Please keep making good content, don't leave us again!
Nice
Thanks
Hey man, gotta put that channel logo to work! Put TSM on the blade with that fancy laser etch machine!
What I do not understand about the Americans is why they burn the food in the barbecue, they snatch it or burn it, the meats or sausages on the grill are made with hot embers, heat not direct fire on what we cook, it is a piece of good advice not attack, the knife and the page, excellent greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Great job..now I want to bbq sausages🤣
