Will 3D printed scales actually hold up in rough field use?
@SvetsChannel4 күн бұрын
Yes. I printed these handle scales using PLA-Plus filament which is pliable like nylon and doesn't snap or crack (unlike pure PLA). The prints were done at 100% infill and the orientation of the printer head strokes was lenghtwise. On top of all of this, I annealed the scales in an oven at a temperature of 95 degrees Centigrade which is beyond the re-crystallization temperature of PLA+. This made the scales even stronger. The liquid steel epoxy that I used to fix them to the tang of the knife further reinforces their integrity and strength. I have no doubts that these scales will hold up to any use or abuse in rough field conditions.

Excellent Video, and excellent work! My father and I are majorly into DIY just long before the "DIY" Acronym was in wide spread use. We are both "Jacks off all trades, Master of none.." but I often add "..or a few" to the end of that. We often set around drawing up designs for various things including knife and axe head patterns that we'd like to make. So I very much enjoyed seeing someone else's take on how to do it yourself because face it, originally, before all the mass manufacturing of knives and tools, the items were made by their eventual user, and then adjusted as it needed to be for the jobs at hand. My only real critique (not really a negative one) would be, if a 3D Printer would be considered a power tool? I know it's knit picking but wondered if making a variation of Micarta by hand before processing the material into a handle the way you would have the Beachwood might have been more inline with your purposes here? Liked, Subscribed, looking forward to more! Best wishes!
@SvetsChannel5 күн бұрын
My respect goes to you and to your father! I tried to make the scales by hand, out of beech wood, as shown in the video. It was a flop. I believe a 3D printer is not considered a power tool, even if it does use electricity. But guess what else uses electricity! My kitchen oven which I used for tempering the blade. Is a kitchen oven considered a power tool as well? I don't think so, but I let the linguists answer this question, as English is not my native language. Thank you so much for subscribing!

What does the oven step do?
@SvetsChannel6 күн бұрын
The oven step is called "tempering". It relieves the inner stresses inside of the steel that are caused by the sudden and violent quench. If you skip the tempering step, your blade will turn out very brittle and will break easily, like a piece of glass.
@DrJuan-ev8lu5 күн бұрын
Water quenching of high carbon steel from red hot turns the metal very hard and brittle: "hardening". Metallurgists call the structure martensite and the iron is in a specific crystal structure incorporating carbon and the low/trace amounts of alloying elements. The "tempering" step of heating and holding at modest oven temperatures allows some of the carbon to migrate out and some of crystal structure to revert back to normal ferrite. The result is a slight reduction in hardness and a big gain in toughness. There is also a significant reduction in any frozen in stresses that can result from differential shrinkage through the body of the blade as it is rapidly cooled.

@@paulramos6767Shock cooling by water quenching is necessary in common carbon knife steels. But in later years alloy additions of certain metals has allowed slower and slower cool down from red heat. There are now knife steels that "air harden". The high temperature carbides are stable enough so that no special hasty cooling is necessary. This was important technology not so much for knives but to allow very large parts to be thru hardened. In big thick machine parts there are limitations on achievable quenching rates deep in the core of the part. And as you might expect, annealing these takes much longer.

Just found your channel and enjoyed your knife making video. I just retired and picked up some steel to make a knife. Your design is going to be my first knife. I want to make a Nessmuk. The way you put the bevel on was very unique and this is something I will be doing on my knife for sure. The only thing I couldn't catch in your video was the first solution that you used to blue the knife. You picked up a new sub #839. I look forward to catching up on your videos. I'd like to obtain a good template for a Nessmuk if you have made them. So far most are from using an Old Hickory knife modification that I am not a fan.

There are also free alternatives like Photopea. Let me know if you need help designing your template. Greetings!

WELL IT'S HIGH TIME TO BUY ONE WHILE YOU CAN, because if Trump gets in he will attack Alibaba, AliExpress, Amazon and probably Ebay. Because he thinks business is ~ a business man buy's the bow for $38.00 and flips it to the US citizen for $138.00 he was on Fox News a few years back telling Judge Jeanine Pirro that he wanted to shut down/ Tax them out of business,I guess Chinese Business's like Alibaba, AliExpress and you might as well throw in Temu for sure and possibly Amazon and Ebay. So he thinks we owe RICH PEOPLE A LIVING. I say this every time he opens his mouth only stupid shit comes out. When I commented about that here on Fox News they removed their video immediately. I bought 2 Chinese bows a few years back I bow scaled them and they were not 55 pounds, so I sent them back 2 different brands of the same compound bow that looked like an 80's Hoyt. But a scammer got my card number so I quickly bought 2 Man Kung bows,....very similar one had a bigger cam both are exelent bows so powerful I had to lower the poundage one is 295 FPS~ 31 in ATA~Draw Length 25-31 inches~ Draw Weight 30#- 70#~ Let Off 75-80 % ~$139.41 delivered. The Bigger Cam Man Kung Compound bow ~ up to 300 FPS~ Draw Length 19-31 inches~ Draw Weight 15#-- 70# Pounds~Let off 75%~ ATA 30 inches~ $171.59 delivered So easy to set up a girl could do it. 2 screws on each cam set's your draw length and each cam is marked. To set the bow poundage you back the Limb screws off evenly till your bow scale say's the poundage your looking for. Put your release loop on and sight the bow in. To get a great bow go to Ebay and type in Ceasar Plaza I'm sure all the bows are great.

While sinew is the preferred method, there are plants materials that are strong enough to very adequately make a bow string. Yucca (which he mentions) is just one example. Check out Ryan Gill at Hunt Primitive. He’s literally a professional bowyer and flintknapper that specializes in primitive archery/hunting technology and has very effectively used yucca and it has held up for him quite well. No he doesn’t use it primarily, but he has used it and stated (multiple times) that it works very well and is extremely durable.
