My knives have changed and improved a lot since I made this video! For info on my latest knives see my website: store.goughcustom.com/
In this video I show you how to make and use a filing jig to file accurate and beautiful bevels on your blades!
I have used a jig like this to make all the knives I've created so far. It's an inexpensive, safe and accurate way of creating amazing bevels on your knives!
It's very safe to use so it's great for getting younger folk into knifemaking.
The tools needed to construct the jig are:
- Hacksaw
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Electric drill
- Center punch
- 1/8" drill bit
- 7/32" drill bit
- Dremel, angle grinder, bench grinder or belt sander for preparing the file (needed once only)
Materials:
- 1x 11x3.5x0.75" Plywood
- 1x 14.5x3.5x0.75" Plywood
- 1x 10.5x3.5x0.75" Plywood
- 4x #8 Wood Screws
- 2x 1/4-20 Stove bolts, 1-1/2" long
- 1x 3/8" steel rod 36" long
- 1x 1/4" eye-bolt. 2-6" long (ideally get a couple of different lengths)
- 1x 12" Double cut bastard file
- 1x Roll of electrical tape
- 2x 1" diameter screw-type hose clamps
This filing jig can be used for filing full flat grinds, high flat grinds, and scandi grinds. It can also be used for doing convex grinds by doing a faceted grind and then blending the facets together.

I built one and used it. It does a Great job. I did however use a 1/4" bronze sleeve and slid it onto the "Stop" screw. This helps the file slide easier without wear on both the guide screw and file. Thank you for such a great video!

@Fireworxs2012 That's not very helpful for the people that want to get their feet wet with knifemaking and don't want to spend $2k on a belt grinder. I have a belt grinder, use it every day, it's not something I would recommend for a person that's new to tools or knifemaking. It took me 12+ blades to nail my grinding technique. Most people want to make 1 or 2 knives for personal use, not point buying a grinder for that.

I have tried multiple times and got nothing but junk...then I found this video (via Sugarcreek Forge) and built your jig. I "fixed" one of the belt ground blades and look forward to doing a complete blade with it, when I get more steel. Thanks for posting this!

Incase you are like me and like to see it in the video but find written steps helpful as well, here is a transcript of the construction of the jig (Any edits for mistakes are welcome): 1. Take the 11 and inch piece of wood and mark the center long ways (5 inches) 2. Mark the center of the 10-inch piece of wood the short ways (1.75 inches) 3. Once center lines are marked, put glue on the 14-inch piece of plywood 4. Stack the 11-inch piece of wood on the 14-inch-long ways and the 10-inch piece of wood perpendicular lining up the center lines we just made. 5. Once the the boards are lined up, drill 4 1/8 inch holes 6. Screw the #8 1-inch screws into the piloted holes 7. Once everything is screwed together mark center lines in the 11-inch board running lengthwise (2-inches top and bottom) and draw and line connected them down the center of the board. 8. Make 1-inch tick marks down the 11-inch board 9. Repeat steps 7 & 8 for the 10-inch board 10. After you have marked the 1-inch tick marks for the holes, center punch them to ensure each hole goes exactly where it’s supposed to 11. Drill each hole with 7/32-inch drill bit 12. Now create threads by drilling a 1/4-20 Stove bolt, 1-1/2" long in and out of each hole 13. Put the eyebolt in to the farthest thread 14. Cut the steel rod to length by putting the steel rod into the eye bolt and laying the bastard file down so the top of the file is flush with the bottom of the jig and place the steel rod at the top of the handle. ( 15. The rod should be the length of the file + the length of the jig, roughly 26 inches (mine was more like 30 inches) for a 12-inch file. Mark the proper length 16. After the rod is cut you should deburr the end so that it doesn’t cut you with a file 17. Round corners of your file on sander, grinder or dremel 18. Wrap tape around the places where the claps will fit on the steel rod this will help them from slipping 19. Attach the clamps connecting the file and rod at the top of the file handle and the top of the file 20. You’re now ready to start using your jig. Set your screws, one for a plunge line and the other more deeply set to stop the blade from moving back as you file

I've seen this using some kind of resin. can you buy blocks of this stuff?

I use a 12" Nicholson Mill Bastard single cut that states gradual removal...and it seems very gradual, looking for something more aggressive. Hard to find a good selection of files here in NS. Suggestions? Really appreciate the time you took to post up these videos, been a great help in getting started.

I want to thank you once again for this video. Yes I have a 2x72 belt grinder, but this jig allowed me to make more accurate bevels than what my skill level could allow on the belt grinder alone. To me, the grinder is great for stock removal, but for accurate, consistent bevels, this jig allows me to slow things down and make the final cuts precise. I did an arrowhead shaped dagger with 4 scaled holes down the center of the blade. Then both sides were cut so the center bevel line was able to go straight down the center of each hole. Very accurate, controlled cutting with this jig. I could never do that on my grinder with my abilities. Furthermore, my co-worker seen it and built the same thing because he cannot afford to buy / make a 2 x 72 grinder. So THANK YOU again!!! I (we) so appreciate you making this.

This was, by far, the best Information for beginners (myself) that I have found. I've been watching a lot of videos on this topic, and this one is by far the best for what I needed to know to get started. Thank you for the details you provided! Can't wait to get started and make my first knife! This video took away a lot of the intimidation.

Very nice. Thank you very much. I'm on my second knife and learned much of what I do from your videos. I needed a jig, as I've just been resorting to full draw filing the entire bevel (takes forever), which leaves thick areas near the plunge and tip (near the plunge it's almost impossible to fix it). I'll be out shopping for these supplies tomorrow!

Than you so much for sharing the design of your bevel jig. I built this jig and started my first knife yesterday. Can't wait to see the finished product. I have viewed all of your videos for learning tips. Please keep posting information that helps amateurs like me. You are one hell of a knife maker!!! Keep up the good work.

I also wanted to thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all I personally prefer hand filing even though it takes more time. For me it is relaxing I forge my bevels and then do finish filing so again thank you godbless and be safe.

Sounds like you've set yourself a challenge! Hope it goes well! Keep on looking for those eye-bolts, the jig makes it much easier to get pretty results.
