Making a Bone Handle Knife
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2020
- Today in the shop I am making a small knife for my daughter for a Christmas present. She and I recently were out searching for materials in the woods to make a Thanksgiving table centerpiece when we found a White Tail Deer Skeleton, including the skull with antlers. We brought the skull back to the shop, where I made a mount for it and hung it on my wall, which was also made into a recent video. I also brought back with me several leg bones with the surprise purpose in mind of using them as scales for the knife I'm making today.
This knife is made from 1/8" 1084 steel, with a blade length of 2.5 inches, and an overall length length of 6.25 inches. The handle is made from 3/32" thick black acrylic, and white tail deer leg bone, with 1/8" brass pins.
This was a great build, which turned out really nicely, and my daughter was super excited to receive it for Christmas. She will get lots of chances to use it camping and backpacking this camping season, and for years to come.
My inspiration for the size and general shape if this knife came from Joshua Gallardo. He makes some really beautiful knives, so go check him out on Instagram @gallardo_knives, and give him a follow.

Nice build, I watched it twice. I've been a woodworker for fifty years, but my middle daughter asked me to make her a knife. I told her I didn't know how. She said RUclips, and hung up. I've made her three, and a dozen others. She wanted a sheath. I started to tell her I wasn't a leather worker. RUclips. I now have a leather bench in the corner of my shop, and a cowboy 3200.
Love your work.
Love it! Thanks James.
What 17 haters couldn’t appreciate this mans unique craftsmanship and the efforts he goes through to make a meaningful gift for a love he shares with his daughter
I made one like that for my grandson for his tenth birthday. He'll be 21 this week, and his mom says, that is still his most prized procession...I'm still not crazy about working with "bone" for scales. Beautiful little blade. I'm working on one for one of my grand daughters now. I'm thinking about trying bamboo...
Hello to you, I am a hobbyist knife maker from Israel and it just amazes me how you and me uses almost the same equipment materials and techniques! Methodical and accurate work!
Good for you.
Benny
Right on! Thanks for watching
An idea....since handles are a hold point for bacteria, make a one piece series especially for skinning and processing. I used to use a universal one piece in the back wilds. They can be fire steriLized in the back wilds by using the campfire. Done right you don't lose temper or hardening. I have seen some with paracord for quick removal before skinning the steriLized and reapply the cord for other uses. I for one would love to see a vid..thanx...May you feet be sure upon the trail and your campfire warm and of course, may your trail tales be true!
U are "the art of craftsmanship ".I've learned how to heat treat by watching your videos,you're a very good instructor, God bless.WEY
Finally, somebody knows what’s up, I enjoyed watching it brother, good job
Awesome work thanks for the video
Awesome! Too much talent!!!
Rocking it from every angle! Outstanding!
What an amazing gift, that is a heritage piece.
Very nice knife I'm sure your daughter will love it as much as she loves her dad .
Beautiful knife, And one she will cherish forever.
I love your videos!!!!!
Thanks for watching Jose!
Absolutely beautiful. I ran into you to get an idea for a simple knife sheath. Then I saw you started making a knife with bone handles and my interest just kept growing. Always wanting to make a knife, you presented a fairly simple process for me to use for my first knife from scratch. I hope it turns out even half as knife as yours. I too like small knives, so I am excited to see how this turns out. I have worked in all these mediums since I was a kid. My main skillset is a leather smith which I have been doing regularly since 1970 so I have been at it for a while. I was lucky enough to go to an inner city school in Baltimore City back in the 1960's where for the boys, all forms of "shop" were required. Leather, wood, plastics, and metals. I got to run a metal lathe and learned to make a welders hammer with a threaded and knurled handle, case hardened flat & sharp ends on the head. It was quite an experience but best off it woke up that thinking of the possibilities of all those mediums and methods. Though I picked leather as my main skill set, I kept active in metals for much of the time as well, which is why your video fascinated me. I will be looking at many more of your videos and hope to learn much from you in the future. BTW, I think I saw you grinding the dear bone without a mask. I spent years not using protection on my ears and lungs but, dear bone and most other bones are very toxic and should not be breathed in. You should make it a rule to NEVER grind or make any types of 'bone dust' without a good respirator. Thanks again for your willingness to share your skills. Maybe I can pass on some of my leather skills to you one day. Thanks again, Frank t/a Red Oak Leathers
Outstanding!!!👍👍👍🗡

Beutiful work, thanks
Awesome Christmas gift
Gorgeous
Another great job. Just a beautiful knife.
Sweet knife build and the fact that you and your daughter found the leg bones, together is a real plus! It's a knife I'm sure she will get lots of use from and she will remember when and where the scales were found and that it was a time that the two of you spent together.
I love the fact that you are a dad that does a lot with your children! THAT is something I wish all children had, time with their fathers that they will remember their whole lives! KUDOS!!
Turned out great, nice job.

Well done. love the black liner used for the bone base.
Awesome little knife! - Jeremy
Love it you got a talent
Very nice video and great work.
A top tip when working with natural bone: boil it for about an hour in a mixture of water and chlorine (roughly 20 parts water 1 part chlorine or stronger if you please).
This will whiten the bone a bit, but most importantly it will draw out most of the fats within the bone itself so that it will not start to smell and brown after a while. It also helps somewhat on the unbearable smell while working with it ;-)
i use bakingsoda instead of chlorine and that works too , and after that i dip it in hydrogen peroxide and let in be in the sun to whiten
Another awesome video, thank you

Thanks Robert!

Thanks!
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship 👍
Outstanding work and amazing heirloom for your daughter.
Mike! Thank you sir.
Beautiful and functional little knife. Love the size. I find a large knife very hard to work with. 2.5 to. 4 inch is perfect for me.
Just wanted to let you know that your videos were a huge help. I just finished my first knife ever. It's a small game knife made from a file. Turned out better than I thought possible.
Beautiful knife 👌
Wow, what a work of art, such a special present as well. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, Jules, Droitwich, England
that is a beautiful knife, came out great!
nice clamp arrangement!
schön ! Tolle Arbeit.
Careful work, produce a beautiful piece ... Well done
Great video, thank you.
Great video.
I loved it. It's awesome that you made your daughter such a nice knife.
You seem like such a good person. I love watching your content, it's so wholesome!
Thank you so much. She loves it.
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship I am glad to hear it :)
Fantastic.I knew about bone as handle material but never saw it done til now. Excellent as is filming and editing. A great knife.
Thank you Nick! I, and my daughter, love the look of the bone. And thank you for the compliment on the video. Devon works hard bring the quality every time.
I like how admits to his mistakes. I’m interested in making knives and this shows the steps. Cool video
I suggest you to check out Walter Sorrells channel as well as Slavik Tely and Simple little life channels
And you really don't need alot of fancy gear to make a knife when you can buy stock steel. I made my first knife using files to do the bevels. Your daughter is a lucky girl. And again enjoyed watching. And that is a very nice looking knife. Well done sir!
Great video, and beautiful knife made with care. We keep learning with every project. Awesome job!
Just found your channel and you sir are great! I’m a big bushcraft fan so I enjoy the axe and knife making. I am actually going to try making my sheath because of you. Thank you.
Thanks for your inspirational videos, you have started me off in the apprenticeship of the art of craftsmanship. Am a retired engineer, so know a bit about working with metals, just need to refine the wood side of things. I see that like me you spend a lot of time underground though living on a Scottish island, trying to combat the damp is a constant problem. Thanks again for your channel, will be watching. Cheers, Jim.
wow beautiful knife
Perfect!Greetings from Crete, Greece!We also make hand forged,silver carved and bone hadle traditional knifes!
Muito linda essa faca. Parabéns, verdadeiramente uma pequena jóia 🇺🇸🇧🇷⚔👍
I would like to point out that I was happy to see you wearing a respirator while cutting metal. You and your viewers should be reminded that a respirator must be worn while cutting and especially sanding bone. Once in the lungs, the damage has been done. It can cause Emphysema and cancer. I'm not an alarmist either. I'm someone who watched a loved one die from breathing in metal and bone dust after years of knife making. Respirators can be purchased on eBay for less than $10.00. 3M makes some very good and inexpensive half masks and replacement filters can be found on there fairly inexpensive as well. The knife came out beautifully.
CrossGrain Wood Products,LTD thanks for your comment.
man you could boil the bones with dish detergent before using also stabilize the bone before use bugs can live in that raw bone for quite a while
