Knife Making - Forging a Small Knife for the Workshop

[@langren2624]

It makes me very happy seeing him at a "proper" shop (as in a bigger and better equiped one) but I will definelty miss the old small and more "cozy" old shop

[@MakeNCreate]

I feel the same way haha.

[@taz9041]

an angle grinder and a dream. awesome work as always.

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you!

[@drakemoreland6684]

Hey guys and girls... if there are any even here lol. I have been a blacksmith for two years now making knifes and decorative pieces and I don't think I will ever stop, I just wanted to say thank you make and create I've drawn so much inspiration from this channel and have just started my first sword! It's going to be a short broadsword. but anyhow I also wanted to appreciate that you don't have many power tools like big hammers and whatnot making your work more by hand than machine. I don't use power tools much either I've got some hammers and an anvil, I also don't use a propane forge I use coal it makes me feel more like a genuine blacksmith. also no hate to propane users. thank you!

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you mate! Best of luck with sword and blacksmithing :) Get after it!

[@drakemoreland6684]

You are the real legend!!! thanks bro

Am I the only one who would happily watch a unedited version of these videos?

[@McGowanForge]

Haha my workshop knife is a chopped off machete blade with an edge ground in it, this is a beautiful Edc or camping knife

[@MakeNCreate]

felt like refreshing my knifemaking skills a bit hehe ;) Thank you!

[@talistrahan6374]

Oh my god, that is such a nice knife. I know it was only posted today, but how's it only got like 200 likes? It's a crime

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you!

[@TheJCJexe]

That's an interesting way to use an angle grinder.

[@MakeNCreate]

yeah I thought so too lol.

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

That’s a great knife. Entertaining as always, keep up the great work and merry Christmas

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much :)

[@stardusk1726]

i can’t believe this is the same person i mean this is just incredible you’ve come a long way from where you were good job and keep up the good work

Thank you! you too :)

[@thefreewayoctopus]

Wow, very nice knife! I love it.

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Beautiful knife. Using angle grinder for bevels was awesome.👍👍🔥🔥

[@MakeNCreate]

hehe gotta make do with what I've got for now :) thank you!

[@andreasbentenrieder4979]

Fantastic Knife 👍👍 and a good Job 👍

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you!

[@cmtemoacirsilva]

Great job! Pro!! Congrats!!!

[@billhatcher2984]

Might not be the prettiest knife I have seen made but it will do what it's made for and will be arround when a bunch of those pretty knives would be used up 👍

[@MakeNCreate]

Exactly the point of it haha.

[@treyscustombuilds4641]

Came out nice.👍🏻

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you!

[@aimansyahmidzulkhairy909]

I did not expect for you to use an angle grinder like that. You put an edge on the knife before you finished the handle. I usually do the sharpening last after everything is done, just for safety reasons. Otherwise it's a good knife and a good video, enjoyed it.

[@oneshotme]

Nice blade!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you! I really appreciate it :)

[@oskarvonhutier9403]

Love your videos. Merry xmas and happy new year, fé ok Brazil

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you and you too!

[@StarKnight619]

i like the unfinished look of the top half.

[@MakeNCreate]

It's usually referred to as a ''Brut de forge'' finish. Thank you!

[@vladmahehov]

Very nice Merry Christmas brother

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much! you too :)

Joyeux Noël 🎄

[@metalman7825]

Me up until 13:45 :”maybe I’m an idiot but how will you keep the guard on?” Me after 13:45 :”ah-ha”

[@jerrieyum]

I love the coffin ⚰️ handle that’s sweet!

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much :)

[@LiamJPenn]

Nice work dude! I need to try a guard on a full tang knife one of these days

[@LiamJPenn]

@keith moore seems pretty hard to get a perfect fit though. I’ll give it a go sooner or later

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you liam. It's not that hard to get a good fit I think. I was being a quite sloppy as this was just a knife for myself and rough use but it actually wasn't too bad.

[@genkaijapan]

良い仕事です！かっこいい！

[@afinoxi]

It honestly looks like a bayonet Cool

[@markkusmand8156]

AWESOME

[@popsforgeblacksmithing]

any chance we could get a more detailed guide on the guard solder? ive been trying but i cant get the solder to take very well.

[@tommacioce5406]

Great video and merry Christmas! I’m not hassling you this is just a question. Why did you sharpen the knife before you put on the handle? It seems like that made everything more dangerous and you aren’t cutting anything with it til it’s done. I just don’t understand why the knife needed to be hair shaving sharp for the second half of the build. Again just an honest question.

[@MakeNCreate]

Wouldn't have been able to sharpen the whole blade if I hadn't done it before assembling. Thank you and you too :)

[@neilyakuza6595]

Nice!

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you!

[@drakemoreland6684]

Also I have a question, what made you want to start blacksmithing?

[@cubicworld4301]

Forge a sword, pleace! Like if you want to see him forging a sword.

[@jsbrooks72]

New sub here, you do amazing work! do you have an online store? I'm interested in buying this style of knife for Christmas gifts.

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you! I have some knives available on my website: makencreate.net. if you want a more custom piece send me an email: [e-mail] or a Dm on Instagram.

[@colinperkins8794]

Are all of these tools yours? If so let's see some use nice work and merry Christmas

[@awldune]

Looks great! I love blackwood, it is such a dream to work with. Is silver soldering preferable to electric welding in a project like this?

[@MakeNCreate]

it wasn't actually silver solder but lead free tin solder. Not really I just wanted to try it :) Thank you as always mate!

[@awldune]

@@MakeNCreate silver solder is stronger, although I'm not sure how big the difference is

[@witchdoctor9145]

@@MakeNCreate electric welding will damage the heattreat. If you weld before headtreat make sure to do enough thermal cycles since it will stress the steel. (Even thoughI wouldnt recommend welding it)

[@pukinpaja1974]

Nice! Do you have New Workshop? Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻🇫🇮

Yes I just moved to Canada so I'm renting one for now until we get our own place. Thank you!

[@tyreldalzell1489]

Quick question what is the baking soda used for?

[@MakeNCreate]

The ferric chloride used to etch the steel is an acid and baking soda is a base. So making a solution of it in water works well to neutralize the acid so I don't get burned.

[@tyreldalzell1489]

Oh I thought it was for cleaning it, but that makes sense

Cool

[@kingnapikkingoficeland7856]

Any tip for preventing rust?

[@MakeNCreate]

Keep your blade clean and dry. use a sheath. If you're in really humid conditions apply so sort of oil or grease to the steel.

[@kingnapikkingoficeland7856]

What kind of wheel did you use for the bevel?

I worry about that angle grinder in the vice like that. It looked kind of precarious there.

[@paulwiggins183]

Soldered guards used to be more common. You are using the wrong torch and improper technique soldering... I suggest giving it up unless you really want to do it.

[@mynamingislackluster3710]

Jesus, have you thought about actually giving advice instead of being a dick? If everyone was like you, nothing would ever get done as first attempts are rarely perfect.

[@leighchristopherson2455]

Seems a dangerous thing to do, sharpen the blade before final assembly and finishing. Both for you and the knife edge, the edge, when honed is much more easily damaged.

[@Atomic2998]

You should never pry with a knife

[@nastyevilbunny]

Merry Christmas. Very nice knife, but why not weld on the crossguard?

[@MakeNCreate]

I wanted try and see how well tin solder would hold. Merry christmas! Thank you.
