Part 3 to my knife making series. Here we a filing a knife bevel with a filing jig that I created. The filing jig for knife blades is pretty basic, but as long as a constant angle is maintained you are safe. Making a knife without power tools is quite hard and this process took some time to complete. However hand making a knife is quite rewarding, and when you are making a knife with a file every stroke counts. I hope some people learn from this video and how I set up my knife making filing jig. Cheers

Holy crap. Dude I want to hug you!! No lie. You are the only person to explain it with angles. Lol.
After so many strokes i clean the file with a wire brush and spray it with WD40 and that prevents the deep grooves when shavings get stuck in the file.
I'm glad I watched this. I was this close to grinding the edge off my file. The sleeve on the guide bolt is a great idea. Thanks.
You are the ONLY guy I've seen that even mentions the degree of the bevel!! Thanks!!
I was looking forward to this vid, and it delivered. The knife is coming along great!

To be honest I sort of criged when you showed your DIY filing jig set up.
It looks decent ? Are you kidding ? You nailed it man ! You blew me out of the water, that'll teach me.
I'm so hyped for the rest of this series !
Bushcraft Picard haha not going to lie the jig is far from ideal, but it did the job and made me take my time. thanks for the kind words, I'm in the middle of moving so the next few steps might have to wait a bit. regardless I'll get it done :)
good luck with that man !
Great video man,thanks.woeked great.
You can get that angle relatively accurately with some basic trig! Just get the height of the file in the eye bolt, the distance from the base to the knife, and tan that shit
patrick charette haha there's some highschool math
Man, I was going to leave that comment, then I saw you, dang man beat me to it
@@peterlarson5225 the guy done well, pretty sure the knife makers back in the d ay didn't "tan that shit" the guy made good with the metal if its not about safety why comment, is it just to show you know better and are more skilful
Wow...amazing job buddy...looking forward to part 3 👍
Kijika Life 👍
Looks like its gona be real nice buddy, good work.
BUSHCRAFT AND FISHING WITH THE PIKEY thanks dude
Nice work. It just takes more time. Ordinary chalk board chalk on your file will help keep it clean. Thank you for the video
shovelhead8 thanks for the tip
@@TheDaveDryden hi, im thinking about cpoying the setup. Do you remember how long it took you to grind both bevels? Awesome video and knife man.
Mr_Cupcake 33 He said a couple of hours. Not bad.
using that "ring bolt" was super smart dude, impressive! im gonna copy it and give this jig a try! cheers
Stefano Morandi glad you found it useful. get knife making no excuses now 😁

Virginia Bradley cheers!
I don't hand out compliments often but nice work.
Ron Larimer ty!
22.5 / 22.5 45 degree edge is a good edge for EDC. Its not to aggressive but yet its not a slicer either
another thing...old golf club makes a good handle to attach file too.....along with small hose clamps...because tape can give / stretch....I guess hose clamps can too...but not as much as tape would especially electrical tape...maybe this will help...if you have the materials...good luck
22.5 is pretty obtuse, imo. Unless you need crazy toughness, do thinner and add a little microbevel if the edge rolls in use.
Subbed nice work!!
good video. subed
jason degia 👍
damn....you seem to know what you are doing. Looks great! What do you do for a living?
where to see grinding angles of different grinds?
Can you use this on long knives
Your plunge lines turned out great! Did you round the corners of your file like Aaron Gough explained in his video?
Petar Djurickovic no I did not, seemed to work fine
That looks awesome man. How much time about went into filing it down to this point?
Mloo Mlair took a few hours for the bevel when it was all said and done
Can you tell me why some people take the grind right from centerline to spine, in other words right across the width of the blade and others (like you did) just grind part way across blade,what is the explanation on that? It seems to me logical to just take the grind part way, though many knives I see are ground across full width of blade! I hope that makes sense and that somebody can enlighten me on that aspect, good video by the way.. Cheers from Mike, South Waikato New Zealand
What's the length and width of the knife
I saw here many appreciations BUT if i want to make a knife from HSS, filing doesn't work and should be used sandpaper or stone.
