Knife Making: Neck Knife

[@fenderstratguy]

I don't know what was better, the knife or the editing of this video. I think the editing is an example for all youtubers.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you! :) I'm glad you like the style! Ever watched "Cactus Workshop" and "Giaco Whatever" here on KZbin? Their editing work is really inspiring to me :)

[@fenderstratguy]

There's no dead time or slow time. It's sped up a little so you can quickly get the idea of how it's done.

[@macewen1]

That jig you use for grinding your bevel is flippin inspired! well done sir.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :) :)

[@preciouspayne7376]

I'm a 20year old house wife and I love these videos, I just can't believe how much you can do with metal and the skills you need to do it to such a great standard. Wonderful knife. Would be lovely to win!:)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you a lot :)

[@edwardh1003]

The phrase work smarter comes to mind watching this. Great job with the knife. It's inspiring. 👍

[@thetornpapers]

That blade is really beautiful. One of your best, in my opinion. I've been a lurker but, count me in ~! ♥

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you!! :) :)

[@stromnessboy5171]

Beautiful knife, but I love the innovation in your bespoke bevelling tool! Great video, thanks.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you! :) I made it as a prototype but it worked so well I don't know when I'm going to make a final version xD

[@jamielee8991]

That's a cool little design!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you! :)

[@builderbb8767]

on Facebook

[@andreabianchi835]

Complimenti, ogni video sempre più professionale! Continua così!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie mille :)

[@ahmedrazzak6019]

In min 3:44 what was that liquid please ? And why do you use it for ? Thanks a lot.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

It's ferric chloride. I use it the etch the metal. it gives a dark patina and it should help with rust protection a tiny bit :)

[@kevindeanardo7540]

minute 2:28 is that ferric chloride? and what the purpose for that ? because I was just learning

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yep it is! :) I use it to etch the blade, it leaves a matt dark finish that I like!

[@anjumxervise7817]

@1:43 was the wood angled a little ? Why didn't the sanding belt made a plat surface ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yep! It's slightly angled, the two bolts stick out from the bottom of the piece so that you can grind a bevel keeping a costant angle :) I found that working freehand on such thin stock is really hard!

[@anjumxervise7817]

Ooh nice and smart

[@dammilo]

the satin finish of the blade looks awesome! grandissimo! ciao

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you brother!! :) Ciao :)

[@Ziyaadoo]

Man that was quick. I really need to get me some 2mm steel. working with 6mm is a pain

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Oh yeah buddy! It's so cool to see your work taking shape so fast :)

[@cniconstantnever-endingimp6104]

perfect Job !! my friend , what angle did you use to cut the bevels on suchs a thin blade , I belive a thin and flexible knife is more useful , keep the good work

[@tomasoscalzo1999]

3:45 what did you put the knife in?And how long did ypu leave it in there?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

It's ferric chloride! About 10 min :)

[@tomasoscalzo1999]

Black Beard Projects grazie

[@tomasoscalzo1999]

Ma dove si compra? Nei supermercati?

[@paulwarrington5756]

Superb knife & vid. Do you have a template for that? i would love to have a go.

[@marioz.3022]

hi there I just want to ask for how much time you let it to temper ?

[@karimlel4201]

What liquid did you use at 3:50 to get that nice finish? Love the vids mate, keep 'em coming!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you!! :) It's ferric chloride :)

[@karimlel4201]

Thanks!

[@luisermert]

Awesome knife! you should build a heat treating oven.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! Yeah is on my to do list, I already did some practice with my last oven build :)

[@luisermert]

Black Beard Projects Would love to see that :D

[@CVP-og9pw]

Che bello quel manico, mi piacciono tanto i coltelli cosi! Bravo! Hai messo la lama in un acido o qualcosa per darle quel aspetto?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie! Si, cloruro ferrico :)

[@ToroMoto]

They knife looks like a perfect size and weight. What kind of steel did you make this out of?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man! :) This is 1070 high carbon steel, also known as c70.

[@ttmac8948]

Awesome little knife. Well done.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :)

[@vedranlatin1386]

Great work. Can you give us a link to the liquid you used for the satin finish? Thanks

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks buddy!! :) The liquid is plain ferric chloride, I bought that locally but I'm pretty sure you can find online too :)

[@m.berrada3696]

You man got some skills. I've always been fascinated by crafting stuff like that and make my own collection but i can't afford buying all those machines and only using them once in a while. Are drill and dremel enough to make the finish ( polishing the blade and making the handle ) ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man! I would say angle grinder and drill. Dremel can work for something small like this but it would be damn slow and also very expensive in terms of bits.. Look for a 20bucks angle grinder if you don't have one :)

[@aaronwag2459]

What was the liquid (not the oil for the heat treat) you put the knife in to give it the gray colour? Thanks

[@BlackBeardProjects]

It's ferric chloride :)

[@jjackmac8126]

just found your cannel and its great!! deserve way more subscribers mate. my notifications on:)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

[@valeriabagni6392]

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :)

[@mrminimunch1244]

Amazing Neck Knife, I have one similar with a ebony handle and custom etching, but very good skills you have!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks mate! :)

[@datboi576]

Hey I am a beginning 15 year old knife maker and I’d like to know what you use to make your knives corrosion resistant.

[@samstocker08]

Was that an acid etch you dropped the blade into? If you don't mind, what was the dilution and acid?

[@Mo_G]

great job sir , me i ask u sir to make the the knife harder do i can use Charcoal (made from wood) ? and thx for the video

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yeah you can harden a knife in a charcoal fire if you blow some air in :)

[@Mo_G]

ah ok thank you sir for the information , me ask u other qeustion sir if u dont mind : why we have to do heat treatment bcs after i finshe a knife and get the ship before get heat, it be good its not hard and u can charp it good and it look nice without need heating? and thank u sir for thr reply.

[@TristanDare]

Great video! It's such a tiny knife, i really like it. I look forward to next week's video! But i'm not sure if i'll enter considering how expensive shipping is... Like you said.... But great vid anyways, good luck to all! :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :)

[@zaydenmoore4381]

I really want 1 but I need shipping

[@honorevilain6897]

awesome build did you etched with ferric chloride?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! Yep exactly! :)

[@JohnJJay]

Brilliant job! Well done! Nice video too, with a few great tips. A question: in the video you use a dremel, would you suggest me as a beginner on a budget (!) to go for that as my first 'power tool? ;-) I understand it is quite versatile, but I'm wondering if a good one can resist the tough job of cutting steel. Is it a good choice in lieu of say a angle grinder, in order to save little money and add to precision?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man! I would totally go for an angle grinder as a first tool for knifemaking, the dremel is handy but you have a really hard time profiling a blade with that... Also consider that the part I cutted with the dremel tool was just a vouple of cm long and the thickness of that steel is just 2mm :) moreover you can work most of the bevel with an angle grinder and it takes lot of material away quickly! A dremel is precise but can't do that at all.

[@JohnJJay]

Thank you BBP, and angle grinder will be! Subscribed.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you brother!!! Have fun making :)

[@SharpWorks]

That's a beautiful knife man! Loved that etching you did and the purpleheart handle. Really great job.

Nice work.. What's the grit on the sander

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! I'm not sure I don't remember, must be from 40 or 60 grit up to 400 on the grinder :)

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

Jeeze no wonder I have been missing your vids KZbin unsubbed me again from your channel! This is an awesome knife! Now to catch up on your vids! ~Dawn

[@F.R.PESETA]

Muy buen vídeo, un saludo desde Albacete, España.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Gracias! :)

[@scrapforge5756]

What rpm is your dremmel tool? It kicks ass

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I have no idea to be honest :') It was the cheapest I could find at the time. I guess since the metal is so think it looks even faster!

[@cgooch_]

I have to ask, do you take custom orders for knives? 😦 If so, consider me interested.

[@texastwosteppin1680]

What kind of cordage did you use in the thumbnail ? I'm tired of Paracord

[@icaro1728]

hey man...I really liked your idea for the bevel jig. any tip on how to build it myself? :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Hi! :) Thanks man! I made this one as a prototype and it worked out really well. It's just a piece of wood with two bolts on the back, the blade is secured with screw and there is a piece of hardened steel to make the plunge line straight :) I might build a steel one soon, wood tend to burn and deform with heat and water xD

[@icaro1728]

Black Beard Projects that's cool, do you know the angle or you adjusted it with the bolts and washers underneath? very cool ideas and music

[@BlackBeardProjects]

You can calculate the angle but for this I just went for trial and error :) the angle is adjusted by turning the two bolts up or down (there is a nut wedged in the bottom of the jig) This can be improved in many ways anyway, I'm projecting a new one already xD

[@icaro1728]

Black Beard Projects I'm sure there's room for improvement, knowing where to start from its nice :) thanks a lot for your help mate 👍 keep it up with the good work!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :) Have fun making!

[@michaeldonley7741]

Do they have kits for beginners to learn how to do this🤯

[@гАражныхДелФЛОмастер]

Классный шпатель для эпоксидки)

[@rustyshacolfurd4581]

What did you drop it in to give it the finish?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

+Rusty Shacolfurd Ferric chloride :)

[@p1stolp.521]

great work I love it..can I buy one if I don't win..cheers from mexico..

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you sir :) Yep, I'm making more in these days, I'll give more info friday!

[@justinz.4069]

Can I use a metal ruler as a substitute for the metal piece?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Well... I don't think most rulers are made of tool steel :) It won't hold the edge much

[@justinz.4069]

so where can i buy steel ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Look online for 'high carbon steel' like 1095 or 1070 :) These kind of steel are easy to heat treat

[@justinz.4069]

Looking back at this comment, I ended up buying tool steel and making this knife ! I went with 1095 carbon steel, I did it and it turned out flawless, I also tried using a metal ruler to make a home-made shank! I bring it to college as a paper cutter since I can't bring the one made with tool steel, and it holds an edge.

[@comandantestraker]

Bello!!! Well done! Una domanda: per la tempera usi olio di semi di girasole?

[@comandantestraker]

Grazie.:-)

[@polak.7144]

Black Beard Projects woah, quindi mi stai dicendo che ti seguo da mesi senza sapere che sei italiano? Mi sconvolgi

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks buddy :)

[@LesChiffres]

Nice knife ! What is the liquid in wich you put the blade at the end ? And what is the purpose ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

It's ferric chloride, it etches the blade. Makes a matte surface finish and should help prevent rust if oiled well after the etch :)

[@LesChiffres]

ok nice ! Thank you very much ! By the way, it is an amzing job youre making on this channel !

[@laszlocsok5037]

Awesome knfe, nice work!
