Knife Making - Forging A Dagger Out Of A Crow Bar

[@tpores4122]

This guy is one of the few who will be dominant in a zombie apocalypse. Nice dagger!

[@TristanDare]

Wow, that turned out amazing. Great job!!

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

Great project. The dagger came out very special, and nice. Really like the fine lines. Great forging

[@azizgul4757]

One of your best works so far keep it up !!!

[@Walter-wo5sz]

Really like the checkering.

[@ArthurC42]

Great stuff man! Beautiful piece. I'm a beginning blacksmith who has been away from the craft for a bit over a year now, and I'm finally getting back into it full time in a couple of months. So exciting!

[@cassanoa]

Excellent - I did enjoy your creation

[@DutchEmblazon]

That is one incredibly good looking dagger sir!

[@CochetVolaille]

i love watching people turn discarded stuff into something new and useful! also, when you dropped it, i knew if it were me i would have picked it up with my bare hand without thinking lol, thats why im here watching a professional

[@AllChemystery]

very nice result. good to see the mustard patina method. looks cool.

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+AllChemystery Thank you I had fun with it

[@gordangraham]

I also meant to tell you that your knife is awesome. Great job. Also, I have watched a lot of videos, this is the first one that I saw using mustard to etch the blade. Thanks for the great information.

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+Gordan Graham Thank you, I don't use mustard too often but it's fun every once awhile. Your welcome

[@jacksavage1405]

The file lines are a great addition. Looks awesome

[@christianwolfington8510]

That knife is just beautiful

[@StudSupreme]

Wow, he hammers so fast that he broke the anvil and the tongs! ;-)

[@zhookeeper]

Beautiful blade form

[@Revenant483]

Everything was going so well until 3.58 and your brute strength busted the weld on the anvil :D This Dagger is badass bro!!! Love the one piece design!! I bet you could get at least 1 maybe 2 more out of the rest of the crowbar.

[@henrydboys8867]

Very nice love the patina on it 👍👍

[@vincentgolden5352]

Crazy who would've thunk mustard would create such a nice design great job thnks for sharing i enjoyed the video.

[@marcussmith348]

Awesome job, love the file work

[@aaronboughton6482]

Great video as always bloke ... can't wait for the next

[@percival23]

Man, I like that file. Never thought that you could do the knurling by hand. Nice work.

[@haze2477]

Love your work

[@cursedfyre]

Dude your sanding belt is awesome

[@msblades5382]

That's pretty nice sorry to see the anvil not holding.. But I am sure you knew that was going to happen. What happened to the tongs did you quench them in water because they were to hot to hold? The way they broke looked like they were quenched . Maybe it happened when you were HT the last project. You should check out the grain structure on the tongs to see if the got hard or since they are already brokeben smack them with a hammer to see if they break again. For tongs one should use a steel that doesn't take a hardness. Like mild steel just a suggestion.Next time since you tend to use unknown steel for blades you should try a Diferential HT using clay of furnace cement so you could try and get a hamon line rather than the good old mustard trick..

[@brailwolf]

I got some old crowbars this one I'm definitely gonna make . Maybe even with the dragon scale pattern for the handle,, nice build two thumbs up to you .

[@thehipmyster]

I was so confused when you put the mustard on lol.

[@shock3795]

thats amazing man i love how it looks and i also think its sharp too😀 im considering investing some money in a forge.

[@DBCoopstain]

I was questioning what you were going to do with the hilt. I really like it. Nicely done.

[@hienthinh2879]

Thank for the upload, very cool knife

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

Nice blade.

[@richardturk7162]

[@PeteAppler]

Dude you are fuckin artist! This knife is so amazing and the whole process just left me speechless

[@thegit8698]

That is very nice and the file work is a nice touch, definitely one of my favourites, how about trying your take on a fairbairn sykes fighting dagger Or something Damascus?

[@pavelkrampla7249]

Brácho ty jsi umělec!🙏

[@boulder40]

Awesome dagger

[@kdurk7546]

Incredible job man.. fun to watch

[@JustBuildItCanada]

[@dja.3004]

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+Rune Verwerft Thank you

[@jessykirk963]

Freaking awesome man. You have some skills

[@jamesondoane32]

I came here to say that. Well done.

[@cristobalaguilar6876]

[@keithlyons8770]

What kind of file did you use for the handle?

[@The4cp]

The old mustard trick. Haven't seen that one in a LOOOOOOONG time.

[@TuckerSP2011]

Loved it! New sub!

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+TuckerSP2011 Thank you

[@joshualewis10]

You should put in for the show Forged in Fire! Could win $10K

[@jorgegarcia7719]

Amazing!!

[@BigTallPimpin]

Beautiful knife man! Never knew that mustard trick. How long did you leave it on there?

[@choppy1851]

Awesome job!

[@whatsreallygoingon253]

That is badass

[@jessefriegang9056]

Awsome video, thank you.

[@kaolinwasher]

Jake yu make very good videos no screwing around

[@bigrev1601]

Do you often find yourself changing the design by the way they metal reveals the weapons shape?

[@jordansmith7969]

will the Craftex CT169n Bench Grinder be good for all weapons?

[@carsonpyle810]

Hey man you should forge a knife using the broke pliers.

[@yo.mama100]

Lol damn .....he broke his anvil wow

[@SuperCDS1]

Spotted the magic anvil repair lol

[@luislugo59able]

Nice what was that file you used to make the handle lines with

[@californiagunner7020]

How tough was that metal to move?

[@bruceleroy8063]

Brutal and beautiful.

[@redneckthreepercent]

Killer dagger. What file did you use on the handle? You should make a tomahawk from the rest of the crowbar.

[@adropbear09]

I want to know what file as well..

[@joeladd90]

It's a checkering file

[@DamonFyrian]

I saw the mustard and was like "What is he doing?" and realized he was acid etching the blade with the acid in the mustard.

[@ethanrubin7238]

how long did you leave the mustard on?

[@fabianofloressilva8126]

Muito.muito bom .tu é o cara

[@tonywalker8030]

You do good work. you like a god, hehe.

[@rockclimbing3844]

Great skill.

[@bradymcphail9690]

Can you tell me what kind of file you used for those lines? I think it s my favorite knife so far too!

[@mr.x5714]

Brady McPhail+ kiachikai file

[@_iamconnor_]

thats not the name of it but ill figure it out

[@_iamconnor_]

its called a checkering file

[@bradymcphail9690]

Cd Hughes thanks a lot

[@chaser631]

Хорошая ковка! Жаль щипцы.... У нас в РФ таких напильников не найти, придется делать самому :) Идея хорошая, вместо токарной накатки. Обычно надфилем такое пилим, долго и мучительно.

[@victortalavera5247]

Vasiliy Chebotarev what

[@captainconcrete4188]

Victor Talavera вы не говорить русский?

[@adrianandruszaniec588]

very good job ... I have a question whether you can buy the Lord, if I greet Adrian from Fr.

[@C-13770]

It looks amazing. Isn't the handle like 2/3 of the weight tho

[@inknufs]

sociopasta 23 it looks more decorative

[@douglasfathers4848]

Running out of things to say about your talent mate unreal

[@himionatewhare3950]

I'm gonna go and forge me some hex stock right about now

[@erinparis4125]

He needa be on the show forged in fire like if you agree

[@JohnCross0]

Your mustard technique is one of the weirdest and interesting things I've ever seen

[@The4cp]

Ion Cross I thought he was hungry!

[@decimatorx8083]

Great work ..... just have to ask when you say mustard ... is it just mustard or is it some etching compound called mustard ? thanks

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+Travis Dale thank you, its just mustard

[@decimatorx8083]

Jake's Custom Knives thanks i have use lots of funny stuff to etch knives but never mustard ....LOL thanks will try now ....have a great day

[@emmanuelreyes5606]

A great video!! Could you tell me about your forge??

[@gordangraham]

what is the file that you are using to create the cross hatch in the handle?

[@JakesCustomKnives]

+Gordan Graham it's a checkering file

[@zhookeeper]

Ah anvil delamination... I'm making one at the moment. Any pointers on what /how to weld?

[@snek8954]

Jason Brooks he made a video with him building an anvil you can watch that

[@zhookeeper]

Mig I saw the original video. Wondered if there was any thing he would change in hindsight, or if it was just weld quality that caused the fail. I'm planning on stacking vertically to have more solid steel under hits, but that might make it more likely for my welds (and my crappy welding) to shear off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5rSfJl4j5Jshqs

[@danielclark3686]

Grind a bevel on all edges before welding. Makes for deeper penetration and more weld to hold after sides are ground.

[@sethjones5078]

Use a stick welder and research rods find a deep penatting rod

[@yo.mama100]

I've got to say the shape of that reminds me of the jeepers creepers dagger.

[@andymsmith]

Is that anvil a harbor freight anvil?

[@custardthepipecat6584]

tasty dagger

[@rogerandlyndabeall3840]

If you use less air with the propane, the steel will not scale so much.

[@Hello-wo4sx]

what is that type of file called?

[@rafiqkatana]

You'd get a lot less spring from your hammer if you had a wood shaft in it. It'd hammer through the steel instead of bouncing as much as it is..

[@réveil-toi]

good work ! Pity the price is a bit high! for Europe with delivery plus import costs it is too expensive

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

How does the mustard work?

[@usmctwin]

SlingshotWarrrior mustard has some vinigar content and is acidic. It oxidizes or etches the blade.

[@jaredtravis5058]

Ka-kaw!!

[@ok198474464]

You sir are a hell of a Smith any tips on building a forge?

[@A-GUY-AND-HIS-TRACTOR]

Damn your anvil went from new to old and beat up in 4 fast forwarded minutes.

[@eric2ill4u]

Mustard?

[@nounou177]

One question Mr what was the liquid that you putting in ?! Ty

[@blitsriderfield4099]

if you mean for the quench, i'm pretty sure he put it in oil. It cools the blade slower than water, which is better, but I don't exactly remember why. the only thing is, if it's too hot, it could shoot fire into the air

[@ihatecha2166]

How long in total did it take to make this knife? Pretty cool! +Jake's Custom Knives

[@iantweedie4060]

Never seen anything done like that with mustard
