Make An Ulu Out Of A Sawblade

Collaborative project with Wood By Wright to make an ulu knife.
Watch the rest of the build here:
• Ulu Knife With Black B...
• How to Make an Ulu Kni...
Decided to make the blade of this ulu without redoing any hardening on the sawblade, the steel from this kind of sawblades (without carbide tips) should be all hardened. The one I have used here it was all hardened indeed.
To make an usable knife this way the most important thing to keep in mind is to not overheat the steel where the cutting edge will be.
Of course grinding and drilling hard steel is much harder compared to annealed steel, but if you don't have any thermal treatment equipment or even just for the fun of it it's still a great way to make something that will perform well!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

When you drilled through hardened high carbon steel using masonry bits I was like 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hot cherry red Amazing I'm sharing this video to a parkside Facebook group

[@leebumble]

BLACK BEARDS MATTER!!!

[@TheLoxxxton]

Nice work but what in hells name was that weird mutant tomato thing? Was it picked near fukashima?

[@doubledarefan]

Watched it first.

[@DrewDiaz]

Take a 10d nail, clip the head off it, chuck it in the drill and run it at the press’s top rpms in the punch until the blade heats up red hot. Let it cool, the blade will be annealed and soft enough to drill with a standard bit.

[@WoodByWright]

Crazy Sweet Man. This was So much fun! We will have to do it again some time!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Hell yeah! Thank you for the collab my friend.

[@Klay35319]

I am truly grateful that Artisans and Craftsmen such as yourselves are so generous in sharing your skills. Thank you!

[@myrawright282]

Thanks for collaborating with my son! Amazing job by both of you!!! 😊

[@SuperDave21]

That is a beautiful piece of work. Such craftsmanship and attention to detail. The polished bevel on the blade was nothing less than beautiful. Well done, thank you for sharing!!

[@raptors3164]

Man that was sweet to convert a saw blade for a useful cutting tool. Thanks for sharing.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Very impressed with this one! I've got lots of old blades hanging up in the workshop, I've always thought I could do something with them rather than throwing them away and now you've answered that question! Thanks for the video 👍🏼

[@dyslexicsheeple931]

Wonderful little chopping knife. Looked beautiful with the wooden handle you showed.

[@MOOEYSMITH]

How the hell did you get a yeti to agree to shave its leg 😊

[@Johnny_Nitro]

ha ha ha 😅

[@elesjuan]

Dude. You never fail to amaze with these fantastic little projects!!! Can't wait to see the handle you put on this beauty!!!

[@dlighted8861]

Thanks. I like your method to drill hardened steel. You can also spot anneal/soften hardened metal with a propane torch. The trick is to let it cool slowly.

[@slugga06]

Man, I was looking forward to the handle the whole time.

[@mamterilleq]

Sweet. Where I live in alaska. They have used them for 100s if not 1000s of years. I have many many many of them. Some very old and some my grandfather(apa) have made and i have made several myself. Good job on build and video

[@interestinglyenough7601]

I’m in awe of the freehand cut.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Cool project! Like the idea of using sawblade👌

[@johnjude2685]

Today I seen it after a beautiful wooden handle was mounted I've built 8 and last 5 versions just want a better kitchen tool so I don't claim mine as a ulu but ulu influence kitchen tool.. Yours my beautiful mine better for a 1 to 5 people family needs. Thanks for showing

[@brianpauley4831]

You brilliant bastards, now I gotta make an ullu, i didn't even want one til I saw your vid. Special thanks for the masonry bit trick. I'll be using that alot. Good work people, job well done .

[@InuitInua]

I have two ulus and they are just the best.

[@magicdaveable]

Very nice blade. I have made a few Ulus using circular saw blades. My favorite Ulu is made from an old 12" blade from my compound miter saw. I use Cobalt bits to dril the rivet holes but that masonry bit resharpen is a freat tip.

[@NiccoHel]

Looks like your next collaboration ought to be with someone making cutting boards! Good lookin' ulu though. Always nice to find a new purpose for old steel.

[@mrgallagher7072]

awesome, love it my uncle used to make all kinds of machetes, throwing stars, hunting knives you name it he'd make it ..your video brought back some cool memories, me and my cousin spent many hours helping him and coming up with ideas lol....he once made some cool ass weapons from star trek, wish I had them now.

[@jeffmckenzie7282]

Thanks for a great program. Enjoyed you part, and the handle part on the other channel.

[@SHADOWBEAR82763]

I love it! All those curves and not one single relief cut.

[@hoodiedee4828]

Thankyou from Bridgeport Connecticut USA

[@evanpaxton9379]

Yo! Again, people here in Alaska (native or not) would LUV to have a work of art as such! Keep it up man, foaming at the mouth for craftsmanship like this.

[@CyberPirate2008]

Never seen an Ulu before. Looks cool.

[@michaelcampbell5976]

That's a beautiful tomato!

[@nonconstreamist5600]

well done !!! may just have to try that myself!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very Cool cutting tool Sir !!!!!!!!!

[@homemadetools]

It came out nice!

[@aslmaverick5362]

That was so cool to watch, n enjoyed it too! I might make one like this for myself! Love the idea of using additions to wood with other colors too! you and WW too! Just awesome!

[@ShayanGivehchian]

If its hss you dont need to worry about overheating since it can handle very high temperatures

[@محمد_تويتيوب]

You are really a professional person, I congratulate you for the good job, Hope to continue for binary distinctive creations👍

[@seamus-xi7hz]

Your skill with an angle grinder is admirable, you're obviously a skilled machinist...kudos.

[@maccliff2115]

Cool 😎 project. Awesome work. Maybe put the ulu on a longer handle and make an axe with it?

[@magnum1165]

great tool around the kitchen

[@alexdroban4312]

Very nice! Inspirational! Thank you!

[@DD-DD-DD]

To properly test an ulu, you need a seal. Or a whale. Either will do.

[@brianpauley4831]

Cool, I'm married to one & her sister is the other,, I'm all set !

[@donaldsmith5286]

@@brianpauley4831 watch it now

[@coolvoice7]

I’m at a loss as to why there were 3 holes drilled in the handle. I was convinced he was going to make a wooden or synthetic handle of some kind😳 still a great piece of craftsmanship👍👍

[@wpowerwagon]

That’s a great looking ulu knife thanks for sharing

[@markschwegler1100]

Beautiful start!

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Lovely job Mate 👍

[@ariaayoubi4167]

Great video as always😁

[@mazadan]

Some 15 years ago a friend of mine made an ulu out of a saw blade for me with an antler handle

[@ExpertScientist]

I see you've raided a Lidl, how are those powertools treating you? Wondering if they are worth getting myself. And thank you for you awesome videos, i love your channel!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yes! The battery powered angle grinder is awesome. The die grinder is decent as well. We'll see how long they last, but Ihave been pretty lucky before with some of the parkside tools, the regular angle grinder in particular has served me pretty well for how chap it was! Thank you!!

[@DrGonzibert]

Ciao. Ottimo video. Vorrei provare anche io a ricavare una lama da una sega circolare, ma non sono esperto per cui avrei una domanda: dopo averla ritagliata e formato il bisello, non serve ritemprare l’acciaio? Grazie mille

[@tauhid0859]

Good job man.

[@SharpWorks]

I never knew that was called an ulu!Beautiful work!

[@meeooww19]

Is there any way to get a template of the cut out ulu shape? In love with this design and don't trust my skills in getting that shape ;P many thanks if this exists!

[@tr497]

I've watched several of your videos and awesome craftsmanship but why do you only put the edge of the blade on one side instead of both sides? Is it just easier to sharpen or does it hold the edge better?

[@jjdogg0]

Very cool, excellent job!

[@WRESTLEHOUSE]

Awesome Job!!!

I hope you washed that Ulu before cutting that tomato? Thanks for a great Instructional Video

[@charlesparr3296]

Great job!!

[@RedBeardOps]

Dude this is awesome, the leg hair shave! LOL... I need to get some more saw blades to mess with!

[@sonwabile]

Tomato with Pubs perfect.

[@Leningrad_DE]

"Parkside" from Lidl? OMG :)

[@simarjitsinghsembhi7512]

Wow you are a master.

[@bluej511]

Not sure what's more beautiful, the ulu or that gorgeous Italian.........tomato lol.

[@jessestevenson1496]

Im just an amateur here. So dont take offense. But ive always been told not to hold the sharpened edge into the grinder?? A little too much pressure will slice the belt and possibly send your blade flying towards you? Any body got any input? For a guy with a new hobby?

[@teambennett3060]

Does putting heat to it, from the grinder and sanding belt destroy the heat treat?

[@frick566]

Wow..so simple to make a great Ulu!!

[@Machine4977]

Time for a band saw

Parabéns pelo trabalho , muito criativo 👏

Hi bro 👋👋👋good project 👍good job 👍👍👍

[@axelrichter2732]

Great knife! I think that was a stone drill, that you drilled into the metal. Great job. Nice Video!

[@benmills7731]

Pretty damned cool mate.

[@greenghost7907]

What grit of sandpaper did you use to do the final polish? What did you sprinkle on it? what type of oil do you use? i am attempting to start learning about all of this

[@Geckomayhem]

Collab. Awesome!

[@BulatsSchmiede]

Hi !Nice work man !Great job!😎🤘🤘👍👍

[@garyshields2734]

440 or 880 steel will gold an edge. That saw blade is probably made of one of those steel ratings because it has to cut a lot of wood. Look into the steel grading system. The higher the number the harder the steel.

[@docbarlow240]

No water to keep the metal from getting too hot while you cut it?

[@colinfarquhar6541]

How do you find the parkside gear? I've got a couple of the smaller tools and the die grinder. I like them, time will tell.

[@indianico]

Complimenti per il progetto . La punta e da muro no da ferro . Comunque bravo .

[@harpodjangorose9696]

Why take all the effort when you can easily cut a tomato on the table saw? Alright, I'm kidding. That was cool.

[@mikechapman339]

Beautiful work! But there's leg hair in my tomato sandwich.

[@joeyclewarrior]

l use to be a maintenance fitter so this brought back good memories....

[@mushexsargsyan4799]

Great work ))) can you make halberd ? It's will be great

[@ShayanGivehchian]

I tried making a knife from this type of saw blade (hss steel) it was a pain in the ass grinding and sharpening it. Didn't end up a really good knife and wasted a bunch of belts and couldn't use any files.

[@kosinskiarek]

I love the video and idea, but a questions came to my mind. Since saw blades are not stainless steel it will rust unless you keep it dry at all times correct? Thanks

[@leekoozaata3067]

Seal oil will help it from rusting

[@NamelessVex]

Noticed that band-aid on ur thumb during the vid, that wasn’t originally there, try to be a little more careful, friend, don’t wanna lose any parts to machines.

[@RyeOnHam]

Having used an Ulu, I think your take is an interesting one. However, it defeats a few of the Ulu's advantages. First, an Ulu with the shank coming from the center of the blade allows you to REST your blade between the middle and ring fingers while you are pulling the skin back or for other tasks. Lived in Alaska for a Decade and the Natives would make these out of old saw blades wherever they could be found. They did not drill holes, the handle was a piece of antler (or occasionally bone) with a slot cut in it. When I used to make them, I cut the slot by drilling two holes diagonal from the side of the antler so they intersected about in the middle. Then tilt the drill bit side to side till the holes met. I'd follow it up with a small rat-tail file. Rough the surface up and epoxy it in then grind the exposed portion of the shank down flush with the antler and polish. There were variations where I was that had two shanks and a slot in the middle but those were uncomfortable to use. I think they sold those to the tourists. The ones I saw in use and used myself all had a single, thin shank.

Finally something useful

Damn, that tomato looks good. Did it come from your garden? Also, is the woodworking guy going to make the ulu bowl as well?

I made one last Mother's day except I use deer antler for the handle and leather sheath
