Fillet Knife

[@asznam]

Tim, that is a great looking knife. Nice to see that you are all right and still do cool things!

[@SugarcreekForge]

+asznam Thanks, my friend. It is good to hear from you!

[@crossknives8926]

Good to see you back on KZbin. Nice fillet knife very cool

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Cross Knives Thanks, buddy! I have been so busy... it has been tough to video anything.

[@MrPiper199]

Man you made that look easy. I did a 9 inch filet knife a few years ago grinding was a pain. Very nice!

[@SugarcreekForge]

+MrPiper199 Thanks, buddy. I have a love/hate relationships with fillet knives.... I like them when they are done, but they love to warp and create all kinds of drama.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

Nice looking fillet knife. I have a larger one like that which I use for deer processing as well as fish. Hard tool to beat.

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Colson Customs Dude, you are so right when you say that. Great for boning out deer.

[@yugio1971]

What a lovely knife,and a great vid thanks...

[@SugarcreekForge]

+paul Turnock Thank you, Paul. I am glad that you like it :-)

[@2dividedby3equals666]

Always good to hear from you sir!!! The knife turned out great but what really impressed me were your skills at filming and making the knife at the same time. The grinding was cool, but holding the knife with your elbow while filming and marking was the best!!! Have a great year!!!

[@SugarcreekForge]

+2dividedby3 Haha - Thanks so much, my friend :-)

[@kaziklu79]

+Maplehouse Knives and Bushcraft Hi, buddy. Always good to hear from you. I made a lockback knife not too long ago and I thought of you. Hope you are doing well.

[@SugarcreekForge]

I live in Sugarcreek, Ohio. It is a little village not to far from Canton. You?

[@nicko9404]

+SugarcreekForge I live in Effingham IL and there's a town up north called sugar grove and thought there might be a creek called sugar creek or something like that

[@SugarcreekForge]

Cool, I was through Effingham one time years ago. Have a great weekend!

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Fish Kings Cutlery Thanks, buddy

[@marcus11619]

What steel did you use for this build? Also what was the starting thickness of the bar stock?

[@SugarcreekForge]

I used ATS-34 Stainless Steel and the stock was around 3/32

[@marcus11619]

SugarcreekForge thank you for the reply!

[@SugarcreekForge]

@lonestarrider - Hey, Rex! I tried to reply to your comment. I think you have to change your settings to allow me to....

[@davidendres7808]

Hey mate as you don't talk what grade of steel do you use and how thick

[@SugarcreekForge]

Hi David - the steel is ATS-34 Stainless. It is 0.10 (2.5mm) thick

[@ЕвгенийИвахник]

Nice and flexible indeed)

[@waynebeebe9966]

So you did not harden the steel but tempered it so it would be flexible?

[@SugarcreekForge]

Yes, I heat treated the steel to dead hard and then tempered it back so it would be flexible.

[@pedrocruz4710]

VARY NICE!

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Pete Valdez Thank you Mr. Pete!

[@rayjudd4916]

Want one !!!

[@SugarcreekForge]

Thanks, Ray. I really like that style of a fillet knife. The AEB-L steel is stainless and holds a good edge. Have a great week!

[@rayjudd4916]

@@SugarcreekForge I really want one, any chance you could make one for me ? If so what would one of those cost me ? Cheers Ray

[@SugarcreekForge]

@@rayjudd4916 Yes, sir. I could do that. It would run $170 - $200 depending on the materials and with a kydex sheath.

[@rayjudd4916]

SugarcreekForge Hi whilst I appreciate you are a true artist/craftsman, that at the minute, is a little too much for me. I will hopefully save some pennies and get back to you in the future. Cheers Ray

[@SugarcreekForge]

@@rayjudd4916 Thanks, Ray. I understand that completely, my friend. It is hard with making them by hand and heat-treating stainless steel to keep the price down. It would be an honor to make one for you sometime in the future. Your interest in having one of my knives is a true compliment. Thank you. Cheers, Tim

[@tygahgriffin8352]

Hey long was the knife

[@OLSCVideos]

Can I get the type steel you used, it said A39 was that it? Also what are hte dimensions and what was your temps on heat treat and temper?

[@SugarcreekForge]

Hi John - Yes you can get it. It is called AEB-L. You can find the heat treating instructions online. I always just google, "heat treating AEB-L" and you will find several sites with the info you need. Good luck!

[@NuManXplore]

Great looking knife! I might have missed it in the video, but how thick was the stee?

[@SugarcreekForge]

+NUMan14 Thank you very much. I need to double check on the thickness, but it was thin. .070 - .100 range for sure.

[@stephanschroeder4361]

Does it require a HT or is it fine as is?

[@SugarcreekForge]

I heat treated the blank before I ground it. Since the blade is so thin and long, it is tough to keep them from warping if you heat treat after you grind it.

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

Cool

[@matthewroughgarden8404]

No temper?

[@tygahgriffin8352]

Does it hold its edge and does it flex

[@SugarcreekForge]

Yes it does both. That is the tricky part about heat treating and tempering them correctly.

[@CraftingDepths]

can it be used for freshwater fish too?

[@SugarcreekForge]

+DroPsyDro Yes, sir, for sure. It is just a little bit bigger/longer than a typical fresh water one.

[@CraftingDepths]

+SugarcreekForge ;) thx. great vid as always by the way!

[@SugarcreekForge]

:-) Thank you

[@AussieMark909]

Hi Tim, great to see a video from you. Very good looking knife, the design is sleek and practical to my eyes. What thickness steel did you use? Cheers and best wishes for 2016. Mark.

[@SugarcreekForge]

+AussieMark909 Thanks very much, Mark. I used 3/32. Best wishes to you and your family as well!

[@hobbyguy3254]

Did you grind a bevel?

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Brent Bogy Yes, sir

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

Why such a thin blade top to bottom

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Fish n guns That is the style the the customer loves and asked for.

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

I am born a metal worker but when making knifes I have most problems with handles

[@SugarcreekForge]

+Fish n guns I understand that :-) They just take a little bit of practice. I am sure you can learn it and be great at it in no time.

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

+SugarcreekForge thanks

[@Ninebreaker56]

not a bad knife however I feel the need to point out that there's probably some beginner blacksmiths watching and maybe practicing some safety could benefit them...

[@SugarcreekForge]

Thanks for the reminder, Branden.

[@MrRRSP]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@insightinspections1722]

Could you make me one of these?

[@insightinspections1722]

Pretty please!!

[@skyanimal493]

Forge? All i saw you do was cut out a steel blank

[@SugarcreekForge]

Hi Skyanimal - A very good question. Since this knife was made out of ATS-34 stainless steel, it cannot be forged. It has to be made by stock removal. I cut it out, grind it to shape, and then heat treat it. It is not my favorite way to make knives... but it is how to make stainless steel ones.

[@skyanimal493]

Totally understand, I just get a little upset when I see people cut out knife blanks and say they're "handmade" or "forged".

[@SugarcreekForge]

I hear you... Have a great week.

[@fishkingscutlery]

Awesome great song for grinding lol, I'm going to try and put up a video of some fillet knives that I make. I just put one on of a deer antler bird and trout, It's my first knife making video so it's not great but I will try and do better in the future. Check me out if you get a chance.

[@SugarcreekForge]

Very cool! I will check them out for sure. I am glad that you are making knives and videoing them. All the best!

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

I make similar one s I sell them for 90 dollars

[@davidendres7808]

Please lose the music and FFS tal

[@SugarcreekForge]

Hey Dave - I do think I am going to start using less music. It is too hard to pick something everyone likes, and might not even be necessary. What does FFS tal mean? I am always open to being better... that is for sure.

[@stephenporter5752]

did you heat treat the knife?
