Making a Knife from an Old Bearing

#knifemaking
This video documents the whole process of Forging a Takedown knife out of old rusty bearings. It was very difficult to make this knife, I tried new heating equipment, and I failed many times due to my inexperience, but fortunately, it was done. I also tried smelting alloyed copper and got some surprising marbling, which you'll see in the video. If you want to buy the knife in the video,Thanks for watching！

Lols! Your hands are so delicate yet also clumsy.

[@mitiqueensun7536]

the attention to details is at another level wow 😍😍😍😍

[@MisterZealot]

Never seen forging by induction coils. I knew it could be doable but never seen it being actually used. That's actually really cool.

[@creativeinhead965]

Friend, thanks for the video. it's like meditation for us!

[@mmd8867]

You’re so talented Plus I like being attention to the audiences comfortable .. covering the welding spark and reduce the Machine’s sounds is really appreciated thanks a lot 🙏🏻👍🏻

Bellissimo lavoro, posso solo dirti complimenti! L'uso del cloruro ferrico con l'ottone ha dato un effetto stupendo!

Nice knife ! The crystaline look of the brass fitings is very unusual and really awesome 👍

[@kevdimo6459]

Well done! That’s a beautiful knife. I like how you learned from the two original break’s and still delivered a fantastic Knife.

[@HansKnives]

Thank you, this has really added to my experience with forging.

You are the only person I've ever seen that forges this way!! Beautiful knife and you did an excellent job making it!! I love how the brass looks with the different alloys showing up different shades Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up

Spitzenmässige Arbeit

[@lovejcdc]

Very nice blade Hans, I think you are a talented bladesmith. I am curious though what kind of wood did you use for the handle? It has a very beautiful grain to it.

[@HansKnives]

Thank you, the wood is known locally as Burmese rosewood and this wood is very beautiful when polished.

[@sajinkahnalt]

Video quality and craftsmanship are excellent. You’ve got a winning formula here and I’m certain you’ll grow at a staggering rate if you continue. I’ve always wondered why I haven’t seen more people use this method of heating metals. I’m sure it still has its compromises but it still didn’t seem like a terrible idea to me. Im glad I could see it used here! I am greatly impressed with your work. You’ve got my subscription

[@HansKnives]

Thank you for your support, 🍻 This heating method is limited by frequent replacement of coils, but I am willing to compromise, because the heat spreads less, the heating efficiency is high, and it is fast.

[@user-oh9el6oo7l]

Прекрасная работа!!!

[@alme6743]

Yo man you are an amazing craftsman, I love that you showed the mistakes you made also, mistakes make us all better in our respective fields, anyways on a different note you are the second Asian dude I've seen named Hans, the other one is Hans Kim, hes a stand up comic, you both are legends keep it up!!!

[@replicamakerReza]

Good morning ❤️

[@melgillham462]

Well done young sir. The hamone is very clear, and I think the second handle has much more character in the wood grain, I'm curious about the brass bolster and pommel. Is the mottled antiquing something intentional? It looks amazing to me, I'm just curious, I'm not very savvy as smelting goes.

[@HansKnives]

Thank you, you have watched the video carefully, the mottled brass is an unexpected result, I haven't figured out the reason yet. I like the result though.

[@docholliday5439]

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Well done! 🤠🌵🇺🇲

Hello, can you tell us what kind of metal the knife is made of and can car shock absorbers be used as the metal of the knife?

[@user-uv1zh1zf2i]

а если не секрет, то какой состав у обмазочной пасты?

[@kestersmith3400]

Beautiful knife!!! What did you use to etch the brass?

[@HansKnives]

Ferric chloride

[@user-re2dk5rc3q]

Hans hi, I really like how you shoot videos.Tell me, when you carefully shoot the details up close, do you change the lenses or do you shoot everything with one lens?

[@HansKnives]

I'm really happy that you noticed these shooting details. The camera I use is a Panasonic G85, the lens is an Olympus 12 42 F4 35mm equivalent focal length 24/84. The Panasonic camera has an extension function without loss of image quality, which further magnifies the image for close-up shots.

[@garlandtx10]

Files are designed to cut one way otherwise you damage the teeth, sand paper on the other hand will cut in all directions (minus the paper backing.)

[@dkrako1]

Have a watch of this video by fireball tools. You will find that filing backwards really doesn't do much at all and isn't as detrimental to the file as people think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPcnJyZYpKGgaM

[@StrokeMyLovePump]

False. I challenge you to prove it. I use files throughout the day, each and every day in my line of work. I'm a hazardous tree removal Expert of 26 years and I've been sharpening my chains with files even longer than that. Edit: A file is harder than the material you cut with it for a reason and no amount of dragging is going to damage or dull it in the least.

[@bearnecessitits]

Also sanding in one direction prevents creating multiple planes on a surface. If you want a single flat surface, sand in once direction with control.

[@bushna2007]

What is the finish on the wood handle?

[@forginghard]

[@lancemillward2462]

what is the fancy thing you are heating the steel in called?

[@HansKnives]

High-frequency induction heater. There is a link in the video description

[@forchatknives711]

You can find product links for induction heating in the video description. Induction heating is very efficient.

[@garlandtx10]

I always have to ask, if you are going to pin it in place then why glue it? If you are going to glue it then why pin it?

[@sajinkahnalt]

From my research and admittedly limited experience, its really just because two modes of bonding is better than one. If there’s a failure with chemical adhesion with no mechanical adhesion that’s just it. Failure with mechanical adhesion with no chemical adhesive is the same. TLDR, it’s just a good insurance policy regarding longevity. I do suppose another possible benefit with the mechanical and chemical components is that the glue or epoxy can serve as an oxide deterrent for the metal under the scales for a prolonged period.

[@mftmachining]

Excellent job. But dont heat steel to white, thats short before melting, as you saw. Only steel thats hardened that high is HSS. That bearing 42 Cr6 cant stand that.

[@HansKnives]

You are right, I learned what you said in this project. But heating the steel until it melts is even more exciting. 🍻

[@john-doe-I]

Better learn forging with more forgiving carbon steel.

Hello why is it breaking don't use the induction heater it's not heating it to the maximum

High frequency induction heating is very convenient to use, it heats up very fast, and it can melt steel, but I don't have a good grasp of the temperature and power output.
