Knife Making - Scary skull knife build

Take a look on my Shop: www.themetalist.de
I'm not a knife maker but I think this is a very cool knife. I saw a sketch of a knife like this years ago and back then i thought it would be a cool project (If somebody knows the artist please comment)
So I just tried it.
I'm very satisfied with this project. I also did very well with the handle in the form of a bone, the process is called Tig Brazing. The blade isn't hardened steel because I wasn't sure if it would have to do with all the welding. I welded a hard application to the cutting edge. Which is really very hard and sharp.
I noticed a few things about the construction of the knife that I would do differently next time.
I am very satisfied with the result. again a nice piece for my collection.
thanks for watching
greetings Dirk

incredible piece - in the kitchen my apples were uncomfortable "but" outdoors left me thinking had sore legs . . . . ha ha

Thank you 😊

One of the best knives ever… keep up !!

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊🔪

[@prodigalson2670]

Kind of same that you discarded that nice Fein set for milwaukee, at least you keep up the totenkopf theme

[@TheMetalist]

that's more because the machines are smaller and lighter. For such small detail work they are more pleasant. Next project will be more Fein again 😉

[@lucblin1435]

Great job !!! It's beautifull and original knife

Thank you 😁

as always great style, great artist!

[@DCweldingAndArt]

Type of rod u used on blade?? I think this old Tony tried the "hardened" rods. But u think er80sd-2 may work? Prolly not that well. Idk lol never made a knife. Awesome as always brother!

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 Yes, someone recommended the hard order. But you should weld at least 3 layers. It was my first knife. let's see how well it holds up

[@DCweldingAndArt]

@TheMetalist thanks man! Might rewatch this old Tony to get the name...but I think he said it was $$$! Lol Tryna find out a cheap alternative to "knife grade rods"(as I am a novice)

[@schulersusa]

absolutely great :-)))))

[@RoMiguens]

Beautiful work man great job, I think you have to make a set from it you have an axe and a knife now you need a spoon, and forks with a skull bowl. Very cool

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁 That could work

[@Lorbuverse]

INCREDIBLE Level of detail 😍 Great project and Craftsmanship. How many hours you need to finish this from scratch to end result? This is really a masterpiece of work 🥰 And really no more art videos? Are you plan other content or is it a matter of the time the channel needs for the video-projects? The video itself is extraordinary good too. I like the the break with the music and the rest clean from sound as usual 👍 The camera view is great too with this slide-motion. I didn't get it yet how you make it. Maybe it is a hanger from above, that circles around. But it looks awesome for footage 💯 Thank you for the videos in advance and on the next weldend i have to take a closer look on the new projects 🥸😉🙏

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 the art video doesn't perform nearly as well as the technical video. I even believe that this is rather negative for my other videos. Y T is changing a lot right now.... I'll probably have to make a separate channel for the art videos. Yes, the music actually came that the sound was broken on a few recordings and then I thought I could just try it 😅 The camera is hanging on the ceiling 😊

[@carrestore]

Beautiful work

[@TheTrooper777]

Great project for a show piece, how about structure of metal due to excessive amount of heat ,tig welding

[@russargabright]

Exactly what I was thinking, too much heat it will never hold an edge and probably be brittle.

[@TheMetalist]

The hard application on the cutting edge is relatively forgiving. The rest of the knife is normal steel. It wouldn't have been possible otherwise

[@chikowhitey]

great video mate...thank you

[@commander-tomalak]

Amazing! It felt hilariously misplaced when you showed it off in the kitchen, but smashing wood is right where it belongs. This is the single most badass bush knive :D

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 yeah right 😅

[@OnkelJann]

Mega! 😃🤙🏻

[@TattooTaffy1]

I'm not big into fantasy knife's, having said that I do like what you have created here🤙

[@FZR650]

Love your metal working skills.. I just sent you a request to do an art piece for me. Looking forward to do business with you and your team. 'You're still the best metal artist around'..

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😅 haven't get any request now! Send it again 😊 [e-mail]

[@pieshka4509]

What was that Ballitsol kit? And was that silicon bronze filler rods for the handle? I've only ever run that through a mig machine

[@trashes_to_treasures]

I think the Ballistol (Brand name) kit was cleaner, cold blue and universal oil. And yes, it most certainly was silicon bronze filler on the handle. This is also available for tig welding. Usually, we use CuSi3 or CuSn6 here in Germany… but maybe Dirk finds your comment and can answer himself. Hope my comment helped a little at least✌️😎

[@TheMetalist]

Yes 100% right answer 😁

[@TheRay280]

Wiedereinmal spannend und entspannend 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Hoffentlich gehen dir niemals die Ideen aus 😅

[@TheMetalist]

@@TheMetalist zum einen Dir zuschauen müssen, und sehen das stahl doch irgendwie lebt . dann dem ukrainer der auf stahl malt. ich sag ja, zwei niederlagen. zwei dinge von denen ich nicht wußte das ich sie können (oder beherrschen ) möchte.

[@juleslobo5644]

Boah, Dirk, wenn man beim Brünieren mit dem Pinsel direkt in die Flasche vom Brüniermittel tunkt, versaut man sich u.U. den gesamten Inhalt! Lieber etwas in eine kleine Schale träufeln und nachfüllen, wenn das nicht reicht. Kosmetikschminkpads aus Baumwolle (die mit einer festen Seite) statt dem Minipinsel wirken Wunder.. Ansonsten: Famoses Video und Ergebnis! Vielen Dank dafür..

[@TheMetalist]

Ja das hätte ich mal früher wissen sollen...Danke für den Tipp 😊

[@nicholas_obert]

5:15 is that air-hardening steel filler wire? It seems like copper from the color

[@TheMetalist]

Yes its air hardening and the handle is tig brazing
