Knife Making - Swooping Plunges & Swedges(false edge)

[@mrsaskriders]

Thanks for these tips Dave! 2 years hobby knifemaker and loving it! 👍👍👍

[@evaderknives]

No problem. This video is pretty old though, I have a bunch of new ones. Thanks for watching

[@bootlegblades6276]

Damn brother I’ve gotta say this is probably one of the best “how to grind bevels” videos i’ve seen on KZbin and I’m almost certain I’ve watched most of them.. Fantastic job partner!

[@evaderknives]

Thanks, almost lost the overhead footage, that's why it was 2 days late... took me 5 hours to finally recover it... Never worked so hard on editing a video in my life...

[@samvanderbliek614]

I like you energy bro. Ive come a few times to your videos looking for advice and they’ve been a huge help. Keep up the great work man; videos & knives!

[@evaderknives]

Thanks, appreciate that, but I don't really do KZbin anymore, mostly just instagram & Tiktok

[@realtempo1]

Thanks for your videos man. Really helps a lot !

[@evaderknives]

Awesome, thanks for watching. Glad to know they help.

[@sanyok7777]

Incredible

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Well I have learned a lot from your video today. I started grinding and finally understand letting the belt do the work. Creates a lot less heat too. With the 36 I nailed it on my strong side. My off side I kinda got a straight plunge. I learned a lot about pressure on the knife and what different pressure in different places does. I’m very excited!!! Back on it in a bit

[@RedBeardOps]

Thanks for the video, I have a lot of grinding to do today!

[@evaderknives]

You and me both... take it easy...

[@waltersmith4743]

hi dave your the best,more on steel,long...a cant do plunges...bummer thanks walter

[@evaderknives]

It just takes time & patients...

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Man !!! Hats off to ya Dave. Free hand grinding is a work of great skill !!! I thought I was doing great. NOT. Much improved but much to improve. Wish I could quit working my day job and focus on knife making but I gotta pay the freakin bills. Damn I wish I could hit the lottery!!! I started my grind line on the side of the blade too high. When I picked back up today I realized I would end up with a flat grind unless I changed the angle. That was tough to do but I think I did pretty good. Not perfect but hey, I’m learning!!!

[@1loadermanjack]

Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

[@evaderknives]

Thanks... appreciate it...

[@GreenBeetle]

PRO freehand grinding

[@evaderknives]

Hey thanks, that really means a lot... definitely appreciate it...

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Perfect timing. Gonna try in a little while tonight. All I know is hitting your buckles on that belt usually gets infected. Hope you keep plenty of Neosporin handy. Haha

[@fishkingscutlery]

That was an awesome job you did free handing those grinds, I checked out your channel and you have a lot of great videos. I hit that sub button man and gave you 2 thumbs up!

[@evaderknives]

Thank you so much, yes, I do everything freehand... I have been wanting to make a jig, mainly so I can have that skill too... I really appreciate the support, it means a lot... only thing, if you hit the like button twice it cancels out, hahaha thanks again... take it easy...

[@e.t.preppin7084]

IDK I might not try the swoop. I really like it but need to practice more

[@bootlegblades6276]

I think the swedge thing is that its a reverse curve and its easy to gouge it. At least that’s what has hung me up on the two I’ve done lol

[@evaderknives]

Yeah, something... gets me everytime, hahaha Take it easy...

[@msblades5382]

Great video on grinds boss... Nice job taking your time to show the progression on the swooping plung. I am having trouble getting the swege straight this video clearly shows some valuable information I am going to give a go. Hey is the swege the same if you are trying to produce a fighter style Bowie the swege is sometimes very small or shallow if that makes any sense.. I'm working on putting that Bowie build video together. Man what a lot of work... Thanks and Blessings...Martin

[@evaderknives]

Yeah same thing.. ya might want to take a piece of scrap steel, shape it like your bowie and practice the grind 1st... I use to take steel, shape both ends like the blade to practice bevels...and swedges..

[@msblades5382]

Sounds like a plan. I should have known I recall you saying this in very early videos.. Martin

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Anyone have trouble with rust on your toilet rim from grinding then going to pee and metal shavings fall on the toilet rim and then rusts. It’s really hard to clean off. You need a scrubby !!! Maybe TMI but I’ve never had that issue till I started grinding knives 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great video just the same Dave. Like I said perfect timing cause I’m about to give it a try. Take it easy 👍

[@evaderknives]

Yeah man, nice to hear your making progress... Swooping plunges are definitely a lot harder, i still have problems with them......... I've been lucky to only hit my knuckles once or twice... I keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol on the bench(mainly for cleaning blades and ink), so clean it out, wrap it up & back to work... they have these bandaids at the dollar store with antibotic on them or you can get triple antibotic there, dollar store is great for that stuff...

[@msblades5382]

My shop don't have a toilet but when I'm hand finishing in the house the only issues I have are the water is way to cold and my toilet is to deep Bahahahahaha.... Martin

[@evaderknives]

I almost forgot, get a compressor(you probably have one for carpentry), then when you leave, blow everything off(leave the respirators out of the shop if possible too)... I told that to Alec Steele a long time ago, if you notice he always hangs his stuff up outside the grinding room...

[@e.t.preppin7084]

I had to bring a bit of real life humor to the table. I’ve tried using the compressor to blow off my clothes but somehow those metal shavings still makes it inside. Great idea, I’m trying to remove my jacket before coming inside. Haha

[@e.t.preppin7084]

I thought I was setting my grind with a 36. When I went to change my belt I realized I had been using an old 120. Man I’m losing my mind. Good thing though cause I got more time to make less radical mistakes.

[@ivyironworks6698]

First: nice video I have a few if you get some time to come over to my channel

[@evaderknives]

Thanks, really appreciate that... Looks ,like you are just getting started... Ya know, it's awesome to see young people take an interest and find a passion, really is awesome... Seeing you design and make things is sweet, but i gotta be honest, the way you handle those tools can get you hurt... I know being the safety police, isn't kool & you probably won't listen... but if nothing else, take 1 piece of advice, 1 mistake can change the rest of your life... I have to fight 3 times as hard because my arm is so messed up... I wish you the best of luck, but just be careful...take it easy...

[@ivyironworks6698]

@@evaderknives thanks for stopping by if you don't mind could you tell me what tools you were referring to so I could take your advice, thanks again

[@evaderknives]

@@ivyironworks6698 Nothing big, just maybe be more aware(I have to do it too, it's easy to forget, these tools can hurt us), you're doing good... Wearing a respirator, would be something I would strongly suggest, that metal dust will mess you up...Keep up the good work...

[@evaderknives]

@@ivyironworks6698 You can actually get one of those respirators that clamp in the front, so if you have to talk, you can pull it down real quick, then clip it back up...

[@ivyironworks6698]

@@evaderknives ok thanks
