Making a Knife w/ COPPER Wire Sponge Epoxy Handle

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Do you like unusual epoxy handles?

[@AleksanderJanus.]

Tak są piękne. 😍😍😍😘😘🥰😘😁😁👍👍 Jak wszystko co robisz jesteś oprócz Tomasza Dziubińskiego i Pawła Gruszki moim ulubionym knife makerem 😁😁👍. Rób to dalej i więcej. Pozdrówajki. 😁

[@Paolo_74]

Bellissimo

[@AleksanderJanus.]

No właśnie a propos tych dwóch panów, może współpraca ze sklepem Polish Custom Knives? 😁

[@walte99]

I do like the handle very much! But I have a question about it also. You pulled vacuum on the material you used to make the mold, but did you use either vacuum or pressure or both when you put the scrubber and epoxy in the mold?

[@richardc8340]

Definitely!

[@jeromehawkins8485]

The knife finally showed up today. It's very sharp and perfectly balanced. Thanks for this work of art.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It usually comes faster, but UPS had some weird problems lately. I'm glad you like it and I hope it will serve you well

[@Tikkarifle]

I can't imagine how good that knife would feel in the hand. Just found my favourite knife. Thank you for the video. Frank

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you! Yes, it feels good in a hand :)

[@bjornalansonoutdoors1270]

That my friend is a beautiful blade ! Nicely done..

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you!

[@madcapmagician6018]

very nice, try one with a clear resin for the handle to bring out more of the copper =) wonder what that would look like =) nice job =)

[@BarbershopCustoms]

I think it wouldn't be that nice. Though more copper would probably look nicer :)

[@madcapmagician6018]

@@BarbershopCustoms thats what i meant just use a clear epoxy and stuff the the handle full of copper =)

[@billyboblemon207]

My goddess, i wont be able to sleep 😂. Great stuff

[@johnbelusko6347]

Very nice knife sir. I do have a question for u though.......what is the blue dye stuff u painted the blade with to scribe ur lines? And is there a specific web site or store to het it at?

[@edanpino5035]

Have y'all ever tried working with ironwood or antler?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Not rly, we have used Amazaque, it's pretty similar to ironwood

[@edanpino5035]

Yeah, some of your woods seemed similar at a glance. I'm personally thinking about sending you guys some antler and ironwood, along with a design I'd like to see you guys make. I'm going to wait until I have the money though, it'd be one of the bigger knives that's come from your shop lol

[@FarawayForge]

Beautiful! Where do you get your logo mosaic pics/ how do you make them if you make them in house?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

We had them made on an EDM

[@Lemev]

Mick Dundee would say "That's a Knoif!!!" Brilliant job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Hah, thanks ;)

[@denisgagne7572]

I tried doing this once, but I ended up with a prickly handle. How do you avoid this?

[@salemhardan1177]

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Probably good resin is the answer

What is the paste you put on the handle before buffing it with a rag I need some

[@K3Flyguy]

Nice production of the knife and the video. Well done, no wasted time talking and otherwise right to the point. I subscribed and liked!

[@BarbershopCustoms]

[@ch0cchip704]

What a beautifully crafted thing that handle dose look very good

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Thank you

[@xqxxy686]

Why did you wrap the blade in basically tin foil before temp hearing and quenching? Then freeze it and then bake it?

[@wyattbussard9558]

Do you get a good heat treat with the stainless steel wrap on the blades? I always heard you had to do a plate quench with a wrapped blade.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Yes, It all depends on the steel, temperatures and times. You gotta know what you're doing :)

[@ericksamataro8915]

What angle do you grind your bevels at? And what thickness is the billet used to make that knife

[@pgbproductions206]

what did you put on afterwords to make the handle shine..

[@nubzshortz9755]

Man that heat treating was absolutely awesome. What does that dry ice do?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It transforms the retained austenite into martensite which results in higher hardness and better wear resistance :)

[@christiaanjordaan8428]

How does the sub zero treatment help?

[@BarbershopCustoms]

It transforms retained austenite into martensite, which in short makes the steel harder and increases the wear resistance.

[@christiaanjordaan8428]

@@BarbershopCustoms I thought that converting austenite to martensite was done by quenching

[@BarbershopCustoms]

@@christiaanjordaan8428 Yes, but in high alloy steels, you tend to have retained austenite that was not changed (depending on austenizing temperatures and the steel). I won't explain the whole process here, it's too complex to write it in a comment. If you want a detailed explaination, search for cryo HT.
