Making Sheep Shear Knives: CHEAP & EASY!

  • Today in the shop I am reclaiming an old pair of rusty and pitted sheep shears that I recently picked up for a few dollars at a flea market. I am saving them from a life of becoming a wall ornament in someone's bathroom, and turning them into a pair of Petty knives.
    I cut the shears apart, cleaned and de-rusted them, ground in the asymmetrical bevels, and then shaped and fit the wooden handles. I glues the handles to the external tang, and pinned them together for some additional strength with 1/8" brass pins. The wooden handle design is one that drew and edited several times before finding one that I liked, while adding to the aesthetic of the knife, pairing sharp facets with a smooth curved back.
    I love the way these knives feel in the hand, and how well they work in the kitchen. If you are interested in owning one of these knives, head over to Instagram and follow AOC there to see when they become available for sale. All of your support helps the channel grow. I will definitely be making more.

    I'm proud to say I own one of the Sheepshear Knives. I absolutely love it. I used it as my kitchen knife when I went camping recently. It's one of my all time favorite knives now

      @@TheArtofCraftsmanship For some reason my notifications were not working like they should. I think I have the problem solved and some catching up to do on your channel. That will be fun. Love this channel and Happy New Year to you!

    Just watching and thought you may want to put some bright enamel paint on the knob you turned which caused the sanding belt to shoot off. That way you will visually see a difference on the knobs for what you want to do.

    I like how watching this video he is still using harbor freight and second hand tools. So many other makers that start to get a decent following begin to start way upgrading there tools. Like going from second hand or harbor freight tools over to high end Bosch and Festool

    • @TheArtofCraftsmanship
      @TheArtofCraftsmanship  Год назад

      I use the tools that I have. When I get new tools, I use those too. The tools work until they don’t. If they work, I use them 😁

    My grandfather left me an American ax blade (with logo number 9) I don't understand the meaning of the logo?. and I'm keeping it as a very valuable keepsake. I once heard him say that white ash is an optimal choice for the handle of an ax. my grandpa is gone...i always keep it and will restore it someday. thanks for your good video, tutorial. Happy New Year and support your content. I subscribe to your channel, thanks for letting me watch this video. bless you ☺👍

    You could make bracelet's out of those ends you cut off and throwed in the trashcan.

    @feralgrandad4429 Год назад +1

    Wow, what a great project! With that asymmetrical bevel they're almost like a deba. I even have a set i inherited from my Grandfather. My grandson Ashton is going to be a chef so what a perfect thing to make for him. Thanks so much for the idea. Im sure mine will not turn out as good as your but mate im going to try lol.

  • @paullambert4445
    @paullambert4445 Год назад +1

    Great idea, but I would have flushed the wood to the height of the metal at the back of the knife. Great video. Who plays the music. Whoever it is does some great stuff with alternate tunings. I play myself. Thanks

    • @TheArtofCraftsmanship
      @TheArtofCraftsmanship  Год назад

      Thanks for the comment. I prefer the look and feel of the raised metal, but it wouldn’t be too hard to recess it. Devon, and his old band mate Matt Brown play the music for the channel. (We had Matt on our podcast a while back. You should check it out)

    Great job mate . I’ve made a few and using deer antler for the handles. They are a bit more rustic looking than yours ( means rougher) but they look the part and are quite popular. Love your show keep up the good work.

    Just found your channel. Looking forward to binging on your content.
    Here in NZ there is still a competition shearing sheep with the old shears. 👍

  • @chrisbarker1498
    @chrisbarker1498 Год назад +1

    You don't have to redo the bevels. Just sharpen and use.

    • @TheArtofCraftsmanship
      @TheArtofCraftsmanship  Год назад

      They’re a bit too thick on the edge for my liking for a culinary knife, so I like to grind them back a bit to get a thinner edge geometry.

  • @MikeSwin
    @MikeSwin Год назад +1

    Nice looking repurpose. When the video came out, I went about finding some shears myself and have started the project. I noticed you grinding spine up for these. What’s the thinking there?
    Love the videos! Thanks for doing what you do.

  • @brendanesposito
    @brendanesposito Год назад +1

    It’s a great build and I’ve done more than a few of them myself… my only ongoing concern is the bevel is in the wrong side. These knives are great for left the handed… not so good in the right hand.

    • @TheArtofCraftsmanship
      @TheArtofCraftsmanship  Год назад

      Thanks Espo. I actually think they are more geared for right handed use, since the taller bevel is on the left, but all in all, I don’t think it makes all the much of a difference. Thanks again.

    Apologies if you've already answered this, but what is this rust remover liquid? Looks like your own personal formulation, and I'd love to know what it is - if you don't mind.
