Making A Folding Knife

In this video, I'll show you step by step how I turned some old sawblades and a piece of burl wood into a functional and sustainable folding knife. As a DIY enthusiast, I always love to give discarded items a new life by turning them into something unique and useful.
I greatly enjoyed the making of this project and I hope I can inspire some people with this video. Enjoy watching and feel free to leave a comment!

Ironically this is my exact process with my 3d printer

[@Gummbalz32-z7j]

You should make a knife with purple heart wood.

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Bearrascus]

That was some unconventional knifemaking and I was glued to the screen because of it. I like the process and the outcome!

[@carcasscruncher9354]

Thats a handsome knife. Well done. I was hoping to see a bit more of a locking knife but i like this one just fine.

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks man!

[@jaquesfrick]

Awesome folding knife. Thank you Sir.

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Amazing result and wonderful edit !😃⚔

Thanks Jonas!!

At first I didn’t get why you welded it but then I saw how clean it looks. Nice job. Still think putting threading and using screws is better so u can clean and oil it regularly but this can be done without disassembling too I suppose. Ur video deserves more views

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

I get your point, but I went for pins instead of screws for a cleaner look and because the mechanism is rather basic and indeed easy enough to clean. Also because this is just my second fonding knife ever made and I lack the experiance of using screws. However, my first folding knife, wich is basicly the same as this one, I made over 2 years ago and cary that one everyday with me ever sinds, and never got problems so far. Thanks a lot for your feedback! Greatly appreciated!

[@nick_t7467]

The way you timed the machining noises with the soundtrack was really creative. Cool video, thanks!

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thank you very much!!

[@VDBulcke]

This is some artisanal artwork! Nice project , turned out great! 🎨

Con esa impresora la vida es más fácil

[@NecropsY1]

very nice job - but the pocket clip is just a little too much - i like it better without the pocket clip - but hey great job 10/10

[@CarlosAguilar-cu2ek]

Bellisssimo work. Nice I love it

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks man!!

[@UltimateKnife1971]

Ottimo lavoro, design davvero accattivante 💪

[@JohnnySharpINC]

Absolutely awesome!

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks!!

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Bro absolutely brilliant. The template you made was well clever. And when you made the brass washed that blew me away I'm going to us that idea. Thanks for the upload BRO

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks dude! Well, I searched a long time to find propper washers, and finaly desided to try to make them my self out of an old piece of thick wire. And they turned out perfecly! It wasn't easy to get them to the right thickness tho

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Bro I can imagine trying to get the right thickness when you first tried that idea. When I see you do it on the video I had a smile from ear to ear. We all know how hard it is at times to find the correct washers. Have a good one Bro

[@badboy84ism]

Bel lavoro e bellissimo coltello 👍

[@MaxGDesign]

Awesome work, a fine touch with that TIG!

[@nellustylejeb7210]

Just insane

[@richardbranton190]

Awesome work my friend 👍 im about to do my first folder and your video really helped. I think I'm probably going to try one like this. Thanks

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks man, that is realy nice to hear! That's the hole point of making these videos. I wish you the best of luck with your first folder, dont be surprised that some frustrations could be envolved in making these things, they can be a real pain in the ass, but its a great way of learning new things and in the end you gain a lot of fulfilment! Good luck and thanks again!

[@SMBDelse]

Impressive work! Not a big fan of nail locks myself but this one looks very solid. Good job, man!

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks a lot man!

[@isacjonsson4185]

Wonderful result! Do you have the design available? I have looked everywhere and all other designs seems complicated compared to yours.

[@ВикторТеркин-ь2в]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@enayatgharishvandi2090]

👌👏

[@johnkeck1025]

The knife could have used a kick at the sharpening choil to keep the blade from touching the back spring dulling the cutting edge.

[@lerucherapi-toff4590]

Superbe👍👍👍

[@Tom-k8m2n]

Hey mate, I was just wondering what material you use for your pins, and also what size are the holes and the diameter of the pins??

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Hi! The pins I used are stainless steel, the small ones are 4mm and the bigger ones are 6mm

[@robarcher3892]

Good job! Turned out very nice. What type of wood did you use? Its beautiful.

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thanks man! I used honduran rosewood burl, a small bookmark peace I got from a friend

[@darenalleyne466]

😎👍🏿

[@ЕвгенийизКиева]

4:54 the knife blade hits the spring and the edge becomes dull

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

7:57 you can see how I made the choil in the blade that perfectly fits on the pin when closed. That way the blade never touches the spring

[@KazakovNik]

Барашка на лезвии не хватает. Изза чего раскрывать двумя руками приходится.

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Yes indeed! I'm working on a new folding knife design with a locking system and a thumb piece for easy one hand opening

[@alexandreferreira7873]

👍

[@elhadron_903]

Very nice looking knife. Where did you get the plans from? would it be possible for you to link them?

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Hey there! Thanks a lot! I designed this knife all by my self, I drew it out in Sketchup and 3D printet the parts to be shure everything fitted correctly. It took some trail and error to get to the wright design and measurements ofcourse.

[@overnight1132]

Це шедевр

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

Thank you very much!

[@dominicdwk]

What kind of metal pins did you use?

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

I used stainless steel pins of 4mm and 6mm and one tube of 6mm for the belt clip to fit in, wich is also made of stainless steel and the same 4mm pin

[@GavinNorris-r2u]

How do i buy one?

[@baldemarkjmejia4077]

everything coo until u pulled out that TIG welder cmon

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

I wanted to assamble it as one piece without screws to have a smooth finished piece, and it turned out just great.

[@scoop273]
