Damn that grinder is a beast. And I love the knife. I wouldn't use it in the kitchen. For me it would be a utility knife for work/shed/yard/camping etc. With a nice leather sheath. How long did it take to make? Not including down time (glue drying, tempering).
my belt grinder is a beaumont metal works K.M.G grinder and i bought it from the beaumont website, there customer service was amazing. the grinder was expensive but it is perfect for knife making and i have never regretted buying it
@@clarkstrang yeah I definitely can't afford anything from Beaumont. I'm still working with all old school tools. I have an angle grinder, hand files and rasps till I can work up money to spend at Harbor Freight
@@robertstrohlin6051 harbor freights belt grinder is incredible! i think i got mine for $60 years ago and ive beat the crap out of it, but its still working just fine
good job, nice knife. only thing I might say is that it looked like you may have quenched it a little hotter than you should have, giving the steel a larger grain structure. Should quench just right past non magnetic, at a dull red, though the camera may have made the steel look hotter.
Hey man how did you make that sharpening jig? It looks like it's just a block of wood and you used 2 screws to keep the blade in place? I know it's not that simple though. What did you do?
its kinda that simple! the only specials thing is i cut an angle on the front with a circular saw. the angle i cut is whatever i want that specific knives bevel angle to be
Nice looking knife, but what exactly is it ? I'm assuming it's a standard French pattern paring knife, but you didn't exactly say what kind of knife you were making.
i have school, track and build all the sets for my school plays. Any time i'm not doing that i work in the shop. i should have some blacksmithing videos coming soon
Nice job. I'm an up and coming blacksmith and I wish my stuff looked as nice as that. Keep up the good work!
thank, and good luck

thanks, and good catch on the color my camera has no IR filter so it show the steel much hotter than it actually is.
