Dude I love metal work I'm a welder I can really appreciate this fine metal work! I would probably lose my mind trying to do something this fine and intricate but to see it done, I can really appreciate it and you are a magician!
Beautiful. This is why I always emphasize hand work, especially filing by hand. So much, such fine work can be achieved with files and abrasive paper alone, and the results can be extremely impressive and functional. This is a beautiful piece. Great work!
Very nice. I’ve been reluctant to do a folder because I don’t have lots of good tools. You got great results with basic stuff, maybe I’ll give it a try
Like the mirror blade, but not the polished brass bolsters, especially as there are some irregularities in the surface as you can see as distortions in reflections.. The brass would look better with a matte Scotchbrite finish..
Hi! thanks for the comment! The bolsters are copper. I am quite happy with the result and and finish on them. Now they have this amazing patina I just love.
Really, thank you! Except for my checkering file, all my equipment is quite cheap! So if you are intrested in make knives, just start slow and build up tools over time, like I did! Again, thanks!
Outstanding work! I see you thanked every person who commented on your work. Most people don't ever do that. That alone speaks for your character, and integrity as a man! I immediately hit the like and subscribe button.
Thank you so much! I try to answer every one, my channel is not that big so its possible. And I like the knife community! Thank you for the like and the sub!
I CAN TELL YOU ARE A GOOD CRAFTSMAN AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING THE MOMENT THIS VIDEO STARTED, YOU WERE USING THE FILE IN THE CORRECT WAY, YOU PUSH THE FILE THEN LIFT IT UP TOTALLY OFF THE STEEL THEN REST IT DOWN AND PUSH IT AGAIN.A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A FILE CORRECTLY,THEY JUST PUSH AND PULL WITHOUT LIFTING THE FILE OFF THE STEEL THEY ARE FILING..GOOD JOB.
Absolutely beautiful piece of art!! If you could slim the handle down and take the blade to 3.75-4”, I’d purchase and make my edc…forever. Then I’d will it to my son! Simply the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That is a pretty common bevel-jig setup. There are many youtube knife makers who got the ide first! hehe. Since I could not get a hold of any big angle irons, I used the steel corner profile instead. works just the same!
Increíble , perfectamente realizado, cuidando cada detalle excepcionalmente trabajado y los materiales muy bien 👌 elegidos , el endurecido y templado perfectos, una obra de arte, gracias por ver tu trabajo.
Thank you for showing everyone what a sharp file, patience and a highly skilled, attention to detail craftsman can produce. I'm absolutely a new fan and subscriber. Please keep doing it the old way as so many of us still do.
@@Inmyshed i watch so many videos with craft people using the latest and greatest machines and tools and finally i find a craftsman who does things like i do. Its refreshing to me because i fear we're losing some simple skills only learned with hand work and experience. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I agree! 2 years ago, I did not own even a file. This is the most satisfying think I have ever done. It feels really good to make something and pick up new skills!
Hi! Thank you so much. I am working on a slip join now. I think the video will be out in about 10 days. I usually try to publish 1 video a month, but due to other commitments the past month, I could not find time to make a knife. I am sorry for the delay, and I hope you will find the next video worth a watch!
“No function, just for aesthetics.” Hate to break it to you, man. But you Sir, are a Craftsman. Congrats! First video of yours I’m watching and now I’m Subbed.
Замечательно что есть возможность самому себе нож, покупать такой нож очень дорого и нет смысла. Заводской нож режет не хуже а часто и лучше, и стоит в разы дешевле! Но за видео огромное спасибо, приятно посмотреть на работу профессионала)
It always gives me the creeps watching someone drilling steel without clamping it down first. I had a friend who lost partial use of his hand after the drill grabbed in a piece of steel he was drilling and it spun around. Beautiful knife though
I see your point! I hold it with pliers if I use a drill larger then 5mm or 3/16 after what you describe happent to me. Fortunate for me, I got off with a bad cut. Smaller drills just snap, in my experience. Thanks!
@@Inmyshed Yeah Sorry mate. Don't mean to criticize your working practices. My friend was using a 3/8" drill to drill a piece of steel to make a tool for a lathe so as you can imagine, it made a bit of a mess of him when it spun around a few times. Beautiful piece of work you have done though
I was going to say the same thing. I've spent 28 years as a safety professional in industrial construction, fabricating, machining, etc. I see hand placements here that I carried folks to hand specialists for...several times. It's all good til it aint.
May I offer a suggestion? Why not use a half-dovetail to secure the ends of the scales and the metal at the pivot? If you use a light curve lengthwise it will lock the scale end from moving laterally or vertically.
Hi! I have experimented with dovetails on bolsters. With my current equipment I find it really hard to get a nice and even finish on it, and it always leaves one bolster shorter then the other. If you look up the spear point slip joint I made, you can see the bolsters are not 100% even. I however will from time to time try to make dovetails on the bolsters. So maybe in a future video you will see it! thanks for the comment!
Oh my. Thank you for sharing. Not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe your work, your creation, and the camera work. One, if not the best video's I've come across... ever! Thanks again.
@@Inmyshed You're welcome for sure. Now I have time (retired) I've been trying to get up the gumption to try and make a knife for myself. Most certainly not a liner lock. So far I've only carved a handle and inset a stingray stinger (5") as a letter opener. Thanks for the motivation for some metalwork.
Free time is the best thing! If you make a video or have a picture of it, be sure to post it please! I will watch! No prob! Glad I could motivate some!
Your doing a great job with limited equipment , but please never rely on epoxy to bond metal to metal like you did on the bolsters . If you were only after a temporary bond so you can shape them then ok , but you really must use a mechanical hold like a peened pin or a screw to secure them in the long run , the pivot screw can rotate and things can move. The glue will also make a gap between your bolster and the liner ,and if you squeeze it out to get less of a gap then you may as well not put it in there . Investing in a more accurate drill press is a big plus and some precession reamers to. You certainly have the patience to be a great knife maker so please keep it up , and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback! I will try with some peens in the future! I just ordered a even heat owen, but next om my list is a decent mill/drill press! Thank you so much!
@@Inmyshed An oven and some way of testing the hardness is a game changer . A mill is handy once you learn how to use it , but you can get by without one . keep at it .
Not only supernatural patience and skill but also great camera work! Thanks
Thank you sir!

Fantastic job! Watching you make the pocket clip was beautiful. Great work!
Thank you so much for saying! 😀
So satisfying to watch. You sir are a craftsman. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to watch you work.
Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Exceptional...

Благодарить! Я ценю комментарий!

You would be the British government’s worst nightmare, making all these Ghost Knives, and locking folders too. You do great work, very inspiring.
Haha, well I am from Norway! I thought we had strict knife rules, but you guys win that one, hehe. Thank you so much!
@@Inmyshed I’m actually from USA, but I couldn’t resist
Haha. You guys can do whatever you want, almost!
I'm extremely picky about my knives, that is a gorgeous blade, a pure work of art!
Thank you so much!
The knife is a work of art. The handle alone looks good enough to eat. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
Потрясающе, все технологично и надёжно и просто, минимум оборудования, а работа на высоте!)
Большое спасибо за теплые слова! Я рад, что вам понравилось!
That's awesome!! So nice seeing a video about a talent, and not about making it about themselves or their looks.
Thanks! I am glad you like it!
One of the slickest folders I have ever seen...
Thanks man! That was very kind of you to say!
Просто прекрасная работа.Изделие радует глаз.
Это приятно сказать! Благодарить!
Salut , ça fait plaisir de voir un si beau travail : c'est de l'Art . Bravo !!!👍👍👍

Thank you! Just try, I had 5 complete fails before I made one that worked, all tho it had some blade play and was not the most pretty thing, hehe.
Ah the gift. Some people have it... excellent work.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful I’m a pocket knife nut and I would be proud to carry this around
Thank you so much!
Fine Business! You will be better from knife to knife. Tnx for the video.
Thank you! Im working on a new knife now! I will upload it when its done!
@@Inmyshed I am curious
Respect! True definition of hand crafted.
Thank you!

Bravo!! I think this is the first RUclips video I watched in its entirety
Hi! Thank you so much! Im glad you liked it!
Seriously. In awe. I wish I had the skills (and equipment) to do stuff like that. I’m a “knife guy” but I buy all mine! This awesome.

Clean lines with nothing fancy. Dope AF!
Thanks!

hehe thanks! I do it like that on all my good files. cheap needle files on the other hand, hehe
If that was a production model knife I would definitely buy it. That is absolutely gorgeous man!!! 👍👍
Thank you! I am still playing around with different designs, but I will try to perfect it in the future!
Wow what a nice folder. I would be so proud of that work

Wow! Thanks for the kind words! My handle to knife-ratio is getting better with each new knife I make! Again, thank you!
Bro, you know how to file 👍 big respect!
Hi! Thanks!
That freakin rocks. I wanted to do a high carbon tool steel liner lock. That's awesome.
Also, the clamp you use for grinding the knife is a cool idea! Just en steel corner profile, some screws and a clamp😃👍👍
That is a pretty common bevel-jig setup. There are many youtube knife makers who got the ide first! hehe. Since I could not get a hold of any big angle irons, I used the steel corner profile instead. works just the same!
