Rookie here, can you explain a little more on the annealing process and also the heat treating and what oil you use. Thanks in advance

[@McGowanForge]

Just got myself 10 rasps for free from a scrapper, I looked online and saw there like 25$ each lol

[@garyhall867]

Bud please for your sake and your grand Kids wear a respirator you are a very talented guy show us how talented you are by wearing breathing gear. But Grate work your a pleasure to watch 100/100 bro.

[@timjohle8876]

The ferrier rasp is my favorite. I have some very old ones that my grandpa had on the farm. Yesterday I started on a rasp chopper. It’s 14” long. Have a great day brother and watch your 6.

[@michaellocy4750]

That rasp look brand new and shinny. Lol

[@neyovsusher]

I think It is. It's a shame to destroy a good took. But cool knive

[@TheRedhawke]

I really like the texture of your farrier blades and this one is amazing. I love the shape and think it will do anything you ask it to do, can't wait to see it completed.

[@dennismoore7681]

Are you using a magnet to hold the blade to ge grinding plate? If so, where do I find one?

[@theriversexperience9383]

I'm just using the magnet to hold the blade. It doesn't have enough power to reach the platen through the blade and belt.

[@jumpnjack8686]

Good video. Enjoy your teaching and clear explanations. I have several farriers rasps so I am watching with great interest. Thanks. God bless.

[@Anmobgoccult20]

Again, Well done, wonderful and perfect, you are a great craftsman and engineer, I fell in love with this too, respect from me and old BG.

[@dougminnis192]

Where would I find knife templates?

Here is a good place to go for that: www.knifeprint.com/

@@theriversexperience9383 Thx much!

[@robertgarza600]

I’ve made several knives from farriers rasps. Had some that were not so great either. That was before I would test each one. Many times I’ve found they will not harden in canola. Had to use water to get them to harden. Thanks for the video

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, you heat treat them just like 1095 so you need to heat soak them at 1475 for 10 minutes then quench in a fast quenching liquid like parks 50.

[@joecoolgiraffe1]

I cant wait for this whole series to be out!!!

[@germccoy8113]

Hi There, Loving the videos, good pace and very informative. Can you give the dimensions of the knife design or post up a PDF of the pattern pls ? Looking forward to the next part of the video series for this knife. I have already annealed a file.... thank you all the way from Ireland...

[@jackorlando2668]

Awesome video love the shape that I handle and blade I'd like to make one in 440c if you don't mind and a coke bottle handle I think I'd be awesome I'd give it to my nephew he's a big time New York game Hunter when it's hunting season he's out there with bow shotgun rifle everything thanks again great video

[@andrewneilson227]

Finally added a Farrier's rasp to my shopping list...I've gotta make one of these. Another idea for drilling those holes on the farrier's rasp is to use centering drills, which actually have a point on the tip. I do think using the template as long as possible is a fantastic idea!

[@Pmedic605]

I think a hollow grind would be nice for that blade.

[@davidtaberer3146]

When ever you choose to do it will be done well I'm sure

[@brodyromano3397]

Just wanted to say this Chanel has definitely inspired to start knife making just got all my tools and materials and will start working on it today. Wish me luck

[@theriversexperience9383]

Good luck! Send some pictures to my email when your done, I'd love to see it.

[@brodyromano3397]

@@theriversexperience9383 thanks. And will do

[@jamesjackson4831]

This without a doubt is one of my favorite video's you put out lately. Thank you sir! I do have one question. Why don't you use a "used/worn out farrier's rasp? I'm sure you can find plenty.

[@theriversexperience9383]

I do that with my file knives, I just don't make a ton of rasp knives.

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

Lookin good so far, is there a reason you didn't lay out the pattern in the other direction on the rasp, as in the pattern handle to the edge opposite of the rasp tang to save more material on the rasp?

[@theriversexperience9383]

The only real reason why I did this way is because I like seeing the file texture all the way through to the end on the tang. You make a valid point when it come to overall material saving though.

[@billthomas8635]

Hey Eric, really like that profile. Where do you get your Ferric Chloride? Thanks

[@theriversexperience9383]

From Radio Shack actually, they only sell online now days.

[@scottfry4947]

When you put the file in the forge the first time to get the temper out how long do you do it for and how do know it ready to work?

[@theriversexperience9383]

I heat it up to non-magnetic then let it cool in the forge.

[@fredkillingsworth657]

Neat!

[@brianlister6036]

how long did you heat it for when you annealed it? did you slow cool it also ? Process ?? thanks. I have the exact same file so I am very intersted. I am prob going to do a large Bowie with mine.

[@theriversexperience9383]

When annealing the rasps I heat them to non-magnetic then close off the forge for 30 minutes and then open the forge for 30 minutes then sit it outside to cool the rest of the way. It's almost the same process that I use when I normalize my steel on the 1st round of my 3 part normalization cycle.

[@Tim_E88]

@@theriversexperience9383 I'm just starting to make my first knife and I also got some old farrier rasps. I tried to grind them flat without annealing and it takes hours. So I ordered the material for a mini forge and a burner. So when you close off the forge for 30 min, is the burner than still on fire? Or is it heat to non-magnetic, turn the burner out, close the forge for 30 min, open forge and wait 30 min and than let it cool in room temperature? Could you please explain the quenching in one of the following videos in detail? I'm really interested on the further process. Greetings from Germany!

[@theriversexperience9383]

You need to get the steel to non-magnetic then turn the burner off and shut the forge for 30 minutes, then open it and then let cool to room temp. I will be going over the quenching process in Sunday's video.

[@theriversexperience9383]

If there are any questions that I don't answer, make sure and check out some of the knife making forums. They go into tons of detail on how to heat treat farriers rasps, that's where I go when I'm trying to figure out what to do.
