Bearing Ball Forged Into Useful Knife

Ball bearing are made of tough steels. Why waste that? Even smaller balls can be forged in incredibly useful tools!
This one is the first that came me to mind.

Do the super polished aluminum foil ball

[@ArifKamaruzaman]

Black Beard Projects what a nice knife. bravo

[@thezeshadow7782]

When you put the knife next to your arm I was about to click off the video ( thinking u were about to cut yourself) I was oh heck no ... lol then I saw you were just cutting your hair

[@hafidzmanshor4124]

wss

[@anthonykent7983]

Thank you for your time and effort with the video. I love the editing on the hammering, constant moving hot steel. Beautiful work my friend! Thank you again bro Anthony Kent

[@bigronxxxx]

That turned out to be a beautiful marking knife,thank you for sharing that build with us,all the best to you and yours

[@Hexacide]

Lol, When you don't under stand peoples nonsense xD

[@Zaire82]

A marking knife, huh... I thought it was a kind of chisel. Goes to show how much I know about it.

[@motznamongo8642]

Ya it does 😃

[@gutsngorrrr]

A really lovely simple knife, beautifully crafted.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Nice work bro. Love the little brass collar added in gave it a really nice finished look 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

If you don't have a metal lathe, copper pipe and tubing (and brass stuff too) make wonderful ferrules that are easily fashioned with simple hand tools.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Yeh man i know I've made plenty of things myself

[@MrWspf]

This is probably my favourite thing ive seen you make. It is so sleek and beautiful and small and useful and simple. I love it and ur channel! ❤

[@SalmanKhan-tg8gd]

Your Hands shows how Hard Working you are and how much effort you put off the camera for making such video .. i am inspired alot ...

[@donaldmach7150]

It's definitely the tiniest forging project I've seen yet. Very impressive!

[@NexiTech]

You always amaze me with your skills. Great video!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man!! :) Too kind

[@williamhoward8319]

that would be a beautiful woodworker marking knife for layout

[@DocJackson96]

Awesome work! I'd never have thought that small ball had enough metal for such a beautifully crafted blade such as this.

[@thiassumantri4966]

I love how you create the handle.. Beautiful, just beautiful

[@sonyhk3824]

As always,, peace of art. Thanks

[@stxrynn]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And THAT is a beautiful tool. You are a craftsman. No doubt about it.

[@brendanmcewen2147]

stxrynn did u get that little saying from John Keats when he wrote the poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn”

[@stxrynn]

I'm a shameless thief of sayings. I'd heard that somewhere and it seems to fit perfectly here. Thanks for giving me a clue as to where I'd seen it!!

[@marcsenteney3160]

Very nice! You gave me today’s project! Thank you sir.

[@codelucky]

You are truly an excellent artist. I was mesmerized by your fine craftmanship.

[@MarekTabi]

This is realy nice work :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks brother!

[@sable428]

Woah, sick slow-mo in the beginning! You even caught it!

[@41mhz25]

ive watched a ton of these videos and you get a big thimbs up! I love the way you edited the video to show us all the working portions. 100% entertainment, thank you.

[@rudolfhorne5339]

Amazing! Speechless! Good Job!

[@georggurken]

This is actually the first good "glowing red metal ball" video on KZbin 👌😂

[@ventiladordesuco]

genius comment

[@NKG416]

you clearly never watch carsandwater

[@spaceman7019]

i think thats what he was taking a stab at

[@BloodSprite-tan]

​@@spaceman7019 clearly containing the wrong opinion.

[@ciderandthorazine]

that's pretty cool, i like it! bonus points for showing that an edge with steep geometry will still shave, if the honing is good. i have witnessed this irl, when my sister shaved off her eyebrow with a scissor blade i'd carefully polished (despite a large 60° edge angle).

[@noam2870]

This is mesmerizing

[@yuvrajshukla4701]

Priceless work....

[@jackbright9483]

When you were holding that handle drilling it all I could see was that drill going into your hand. But all in all. Great job mate

[@fourbirdstos]

I was like No Way! Not me, not after all that work on the lathe! And the hand too! Why not use a drill press?

[@joshuaspears3580]

Lol wait. What? No It didnt. The bit wasnt even that long.

[@EpicWorkshop]

Awesome Marking knife Bro :)

[@bloodifang]

That knife got style to it, very creative output Also, loved that demostration, other dudes be showcasting how well their knife cuts through paper but getting a shave with one fresh out of the polish is impresive!

[@yuenlammarywong3719]

i really love your work, its so satisfying. i can always calm myself down watching this.

[@kentremendous5112]

*starts disassembling a fidget spinner for the bearing, while muttering* “But can you do this?”

[@KR-ef2er]

Nice

[@alimohamaad1279]

[@fourbirdstos]

I loved this video. A beautiful marking knife. Out of a bearing no less! Someone said this is like something out of Tolkein; I agree; straight up craftsmanship!

[@Dr_V]

Beautiful work. This type of wood marking knife is also very useful for refining free-hand engraving patterns and tight fitting joint cuts.

[@jasonschriver4695]

Just curious as to what the superglue was for when you were turning the handle?

[@atlasparadigm3585]

Jason Schriver It looked like he used it to seal the wood

[@jasonschriver4695]

Atlas Paradigm thanks. I had never seen that before.

[@danburrill8716]

It's actually quite a common technique for woodturners who make pens. It's a pretty hardwearing finish, so it stands up to being handled very well.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Use the water-thin stuff; it soaks into the wood. This way, the finish is part of the wood--it's not just on the surface where it can be chipped off.

[@JohnDoe-uc5iu]

me: hey can i copy ur homework friend: yeah but dont make it obvious me: bearing ball

[@S8tan7]

John Doe I mean, it is a ball from a bearing, so he isn't wrong

[@jax3874]

[@danielm9062]

You are truly a craftsman we have to keep the old ways going to pass them down to our children it is so very important thank u for the great vid.

[@904theheat]

This is probably one of the more useful knives I've seen made from scrap. Kudos.

[@hawkie333]

Nice! Would have made a cool arrow or spear head too!

[@sodiumchloride6782]

KZbin has created a generation who walk around with strips of hair missing and a fascination for slicing paper.

[@sidneyprice5514]

Simply beautiful. It looks more like a letter opener than anything else

[@danhewitt1984]

Love this alot. Beautiful looking knife well done.

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

Super awesome striking knife, what a wonderful way of making one.

[@Reiza]

At first I was like "what an useless effort for such a small knife" Then at the end he shaven, I was like " Fcking brilliant mate"

[@PrinceKumar-gz4lb]

If you can please make a ball bearing of that knife again.

[@welshpete12]

Beautiful workmanship !

[@mindfreak5360]

Wonderful work and the music was So legendary ❤

[@blyatmobile4069]

whats that tool at 3:00 he used to hold the metal?

[@aaalbert]

That looks like a welding magnet.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Exactly

[@superciorgooo]

Why would people dislike this video??? Haters gonna hate forever i guess...

[@sup2069]

[@jeremymcadam7400]

[@dontimberman5493]

Really? A tiny marking knife?

[@jeremymcadam7400]

its a meme, the U.K. is considering banning kitchen knives

[@edinimsir5668]

jeremy mcadam NANI!?

[@jeremymcadam7400]

dont do that man

[@rx323bug]

music took me right back to salad fingers

[@romelast6007]

wow ty for this! this is the first bearing forging video ive seen that didnt use a hydraulic press or power hammer to flatten the bearing. way to keep it old school!

[@romelast6007]

awww then u use a bevel jig sigh... i guess u gotta take the good with the bad lol

[@vaishnevsreejeev]

Its a fine piece of art. Really surprised with your perfection
