Gorgeous knife, awesome camera work, laid back style - what more could anyone ask for? This is another channel that’s going to be huge that I’m lucky enough to find early so I can watch the journey. Thanks for sharing!
Wow man, thanks for the amazing comment. That motivates me greatly. Haven't had the most free time lately but look forward to the moment when I can share some more stuff with you. So hang it there. Appreciate it.
Marcel. I enjoyed the video tremendously. I'm shocked that you don't have more subscribers, but glad I found you early enough to watch you grow. I'd be honored to hit the red button for you bro, good luck with everything.
Really nice work. Just enough of the build process to know what's going on but not lingering to long on unecessary footage. Also a beautiful end product

Nice job. Loved it. Thank you for reminding me of my grandfather. When he was busy at something delicate his mouth would be open and his tongue slightly out
I'm fairly sure it is a bit thicken than the mora 106 handle, the length is the same. The thickness is because i wanted to use the brass nuts. Thanks for watching.
Time wise? It's hard to say because i worked on it off and on and I did most things for the first time. Now i think i could make one in a day. Minus the time spend on heat treatment .
You need it to make the steel hard enough to hold and edge and flexible/tough enough not to break under stress. If you don't do a heat treatment the metal blade will either be too soft and go blunt very quick or too hard and shatter under stress. Hope this helps. Their are some great video's on RUclips explaning this proces. Thanks for watching
Hi, i do not sell knives. This is the first and only knife i made to date. This knife is based on the Morakniv 106 which you can find here: morakniv.se/en/product/woodcarving-106/
Wait what... can you explain what on earth is going on there when you did the logo with that battery and solution? the result is awesome i really want to try it out
Hey! You should definitely try it out! It is very easy, cheap and gives great results. The sollution is just kitchen salt desolved in water. Sending the current from the battery through it makes the metal corrode away rapidly there where the bare metal and the sollution touch. THe hardest part is getting a clean and crisp "mask" (that what protects the metal you don't want to be etched), I used electrical tape for this. Good luck! Marcel
Hi, I answered this question once before. I will copy and paste the answer I gave them here and post it in het description of the video. Thanks for watching and pointing out something was not clear in the video! The etching process in my understanding: it is called electro-etching. This is a technique where you apply a resist to a (metal) surface (in this case I used elektrical tape), then apply a current through an electrolyte (in this case salt (NaCl) dissolved in tap water). I used a 9 volt battery, and used alligator clips to connect one end (plus or minus, don't remember) to the knife metal and the other end i put in contact with the electrolyte absorbed in a cotton swab, which closed the circuit when applied to the metal surface. so it reacts with the metal and extracts the metal from the surface, dissolving it in to the elktrolyte,. This is what I think is happening. You would need to google it if you want to be sure. Have a nice day. Marcel
Superb finished knife. I was a little concerned when you were fitting the handle to the blade early in the process, that you held the blade against your fingers edge first, without taping the blade, The blade must not have been too sharp then, but otherwise you have good skills in working metals, which I don`t have, although after watching Forged in Fire I have learnt a lot, but you have taught me more!!! Regards from John in England.
Thank you John. It edge probably wasn't sharpend all the way at that point, luckily. 😀 Thanks for the kind words. I was my first time really working with metal. The blade you see here is the second one, after broke the first try in two during a bad set of heat treatments. So all you need to do is try and try again. Thanks Marcel
You are right Marcel if I don`t get the result I want when I carve, I don`t worry about it I just get on and try again, its better for your piece of mind not to get upset if you make a mistake, keep trying, thanks for the reply so quickly.
Lose the gloves when using a belt/disc sander. They can get caught on the rough sandpaper and pull your hands or fingers into the machine. Same goes for grinders. Better to be scuffed while barehanded than have a catastrophic injury.
It's a beautiful and nice Knife. Respect! But... The Morakniv (I own a Model 120) are so fair prized that I see no reason to make my own. Most notably that the Morakniv 120 has a blade of 3 layered laminate carbon steel that keeps sharpness long and is easy to re-sharp on a fine bank stone. The steele of the hedgeclipper is for sure not bad (nice idea!!) to make a carving knife, but compared to the steel of the Mora I guess there is a huge difference...
I agree completely. I think i also mention that in the desceiption of the video. The morakniv knives seem very high quality and are very affordable, even cheap to be honest, for what you get. Therefore they are so popular. I made this knife just because i wanted to make a knife, for the fun and the practice of the making proces, and maybe be able to do some carving with it. So i copied the most popular and most effective bladeshape out there. Which happened to be the morakniv (106). I also linked to their website in the description for people who would be interested in buying one of them. Thanks for watching and the comment.
It looks like , there was no good Heat Treading, after Hardening the Blade, you do File Works for Grinding? So this shows, the Blade is not really Hard.
After quenching it is as hard as a file since in skates over the surface when tested, which is shown in the video. After tempering it is still hard, but not as hard as file, that's why i could file it. Although it is hard on my files and they will dull quicker.

Just my humble opinion, the handle will not be comfortable for long term use, and because of the shape and size of the ferule, you deny yourself access to the heel of the knife, the part that allows for most control in cutting wood. Execution is flawless, the video was a delight to watch. Keep up the good work.
You are probably right. I don't use it often so it hasn't proven itself yet, although the times I have used it I found it quit comfortable. But I haven't used it for a long period of time in one go. About the heel of the knife, I didn't even know that was a technique. Soon I would like to try some spooncarving, hopefully then I can use it extensively and expierence the flaws of this knife. Maybe I will buy a regular mora knife to compare and learn from. Thanks for the feedback!
