Knife Making - Forging 3 Knives: An Exercise in Consistency

I haven't done any knife making in quite some time now and thought doing some practice pieces to refresh the memory a bit before jumping into a more elaborate knife making venture, might do me a bit of good. So I made three simple knives with the goal of having the shape, size and grinds on the blade be pretty consistent with each other. Everything went alright but I did mess up the first 2 handles a bit as far as shape goes. It was only at the third handle I got the shape I had in mind but such is the way of doing things freehand with nothing drawn.
Thanks for watching!

Condos forletteing the finish soak in makes the wood stronger and more durable. Most people would just dip it in and go from there. By letting it soak in makes a much better handle. Great work.

Love the rustic look. Functional, yet still beautiful. A real craftsman. I’ve heard you shouldn’t soak wood in hardening oils (linseed, tung, etc) for long periods of time. That keeps the oils from working correctly. Couldn’t tell how long you left them in there.

Great video and great work. I think the only thing I could say that might need a little bit more attention would be spending more time hand sanding and polishing the blade after the quenching and tempering. In the right light you can see scratches. But other than that fantastic.

Is it possible to make red hot steel using a bbq? I'd like to try to make my first homemade knife, nothing fancy, no forging, but rather a simple disc cut knife then sharpened but for the hardening/quenching phase I was wondering if this was somehow possible with something as minimalistic as a bbq? Thanks.

[@garethbaus5471]

You can use a setup that consists of a cast iron pipe some lump charcoal and a hole in the ground if you want. So long as you can get a peice of steel a bit hotter than the temperature at which a magnet stops sticking to it you can harden a knife.

[@blufordbirdsong1834]

Hi is the large hole bored for the tang filled with anything other than epoxy? I’ve this done on Japanese handles but with a wooden dowel. Your method looks so much easier. Will epoxy alone hold the blade in that large hole?

[@mawilkinson1957]

Nice work. Wet your wood. Dry. Final sand.

What glue did you use

[@gretchenmorfea5988]

Where do u get ur steel ? I need some BTW it looks great

[@StarKnight619]

believe it or not you can go to junk yards and get the Spring Leaf (or ask them for it), you can usually get them for cheap. Another steel is the heavy suspension springs that come from big rigs or large trucks. Both are high carbon steel and suited for knife making ( or tool making if you want to put in the time)

[@gretchenmorfea5988]

StarKnight619 ok thanks

[@feelsman7837]

What oil did you dip them in for the handle finish and how long did you leave them in there?

[@Flazhness]

Without knowing for sure, but having some experience myself, I would say it's probably boiled, cold pressed Linseed oil. And I would leave the handles in there for at least 6 hours depending on how dense a grain you're working with, some might need a whole night to soak it up. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm doing it wrong, I'm always eager to learn.

[@garethbaus5471]

Probably linseed oil.

In the old days, some knives were left with their "as annealed" blue color on the blade. Only the final edge was bright.

[@garethbaus5471]

Blue isn't a high enough temperature to be considered annealed, but it is a bit too high of a temperature for a properly tempered knife.

[@bgurtek]

@@garethbaus5471 Good points. As I recall they were the pretty "peacock" blue, as though it was done for appearance. Maybe they messed up the tempering to some degree by doing that. I'll see if I can find some photos of them.

[@bgurtek]

@@garethbaus5471 The knife I actually saw that way was an 18th Century Fur Trade knife with about a 6" to 7" blade and a reddish grip. I think this link is to a photo of a similar one: DDAB79AF-B075-48E7-A835-BC3FE717F253

[@garethbaus5471]

@@bgurtek the color was probably a result of oxidation from exposure to a corrosive substance either as a deliberate forced patina or through normal use the colors can look simmilar to temper colors in some cases but are not a result of being heated. FYI your link doesn't work.
