Making a Knife from Fish Hooks.

[@pops55650]

You are the Bob Ross of knife making. Relaxing voice, video well edited, and turns out a beautifull knife

[@modergav]

He talks like Bob Ross ahaha

[@foadrightnow5725]

To me, knives of such caliber are more works of art than ANY painting could ever be! Beautifully well done!

[@dylanzrim1011]

Handmade knives are art as much as they are tools, aslong as it does what it's designed to do.

[@RealitySurvival]

What a unique and gorgeous knife! Well done!

[@elliotprsn2288]

[@BamfNooby]

Forging seems soo fun and a great way to make a lot of your own stuff

[@stumbling]

+Nate Johnson And looks DAMN tiring!

[@shihrotakama431]

I feel it's the heart and soul of making weapons, you get tired and sweaty but it's the most fun ever!

[@fluffy_the_og_hellhound6834]

I tried it one day. I didn't get the metal to orange which was a mistake but at red it only moved about a centimeter until I had to reheat it which took forever. A good furnace can make it fucking easy compared to that shit.

[@bluezigge01]

if you are making a knife without a decent furnace you are just wasting your time.... how do you even manage to make a bad one a hairdryer and some coal and your set

[@dylanzrim1011]

+A Lind or build the propane blaster and mini foundry from grant Thompson or any of the other homemade forges

[@flaplaya]

I signed in yesterday and saw about 5 very interesting videos on my page. I'm old school, I wrote them down so I didn't lose them (any avid Tuber knows how easy that is). Very glad I found this. This "container forging" seems to have infinite possibilities. I bet some small and medium sized gears would make for an interesting pattern. Addition of carbon would be easy too. Excellent craftsmanship and that was 13 minutes of pure enjoyment.

[@jaredwright9215]

You know if you click the three dots on the side you can add it to your watch later list

[@flaplaya]

Jared Wright I'm old school man. Got like 17 videos in there right now that I forgot to watch. If it's on a piece of paper on my desk I remember. Probably seems stupid but it's just the way it is. Thanks for the tip though Jared.

[@heartfang21]

I WANNA SEE GEARS TOO D: Pretty please, GB?

[@Former0311]

You are a great craftsman. The world needs more people like you. Thanks for the instructive video.

[@pattyx984]

The sped up sound of you hammering the pins in is so satisfying

[@nicopatague1362]

Go to JimmyDiresta if you like that, or just watch asmr

[@NotDad]

I'd never thought of canister steel. Really great idea. That really does open up a ton of possibilities

[@blahblahsen1142]

as a blacksmith. i WTF-ed when he poured whiteout into the canister. if not for seeing it in action i would have swore that would ruin the steel. learn something every day.

[@ethanprovoyeur3144]

Blah Blahsen Makes two of us. The more we know, right?

[@blahblahsen1142]

well for years i have been intentionally avoiding any material going into canister Damascus that isnt steel, specifically to avoid contamination. then i see this video and some guy do the same thing on Forged in Fire" and im like...is this common to do now? do all blacksmiths do this now? who is the first guy to be like "i know this will surely ruin hours of work at a crucial stage, but i wanna pour a big glob of something into my damascus, for no reason at all, whiteout seems fun, its probably made from zinc since its an opaque white paint with no metallic properties, thattle be cool." and then it just worked? i thought using galvi pipe was innovative because it saved me grinding the casing off. when i get my anvil set up here soon, im making canister damascus, dumping in a highlighter, some nails, some crushed up Vicodin for flux and quenching it in peanutbutter...cuz apparently the most random shit occasionally results in a nice blade. lol god i need sleep.

[@sixstrangeful]

Blah Blahsen save the drugs for yourself you might be lost without them

[@landonsoles7389]

[@TimWochomurka]

I know this is a solid ten months later, but I hope you actually try this, because like you said, it might result in an amazing blade.Very little of a vicodin is actually, well, vicodin. Most of it is corn starch :-)

[@SirNC89]

I especially like the commentary which not only narrates but educates and refers to other links as references.

[@tom_olofsson]

Cool. But can you make fish hooks out of a knife?

[@tom_olofsson]

Really it is cool watching you work. Thanks for the thorough explanation of each step.

[@FMTuning]

+Tom Olofsson of course he can.

[@Radii_DC]

+Tom Olofsson The trick is to make fish hooks out of a knife that has been made out of fish hooks, that have been made out of a knife...

[@tom_olofsson]

+Диян Боянов I think they did that in Back to the Future III.

[@FMTuning]

Back to the Future VI ))))))))

[@zackally828]

Best 13+ minutes I've spent on KZbin in a while!! Excellent video and a beautiful knife, thank you for posting this

[@randywoodworth4028]

trying steel ball bearings, makes for a interesting pattern on the blade.

[@OctaApe]

Buck shot I believe is lead, Way to soft to be used for any type of tool.

[@DigitalDivotGolf]

+Devon Couch they're* :)

[@censusgary]

Yep. A lead (buckshot) blade would make a black mark, but it wouldn't cut.

[@GreenBeetle]

I agree, lead probably wouldn't work. Steel shot is common these days. I found bulk, unloaded steel shot for sale a few months ago. Maybe I can take on a project with something like that.

[@boneboogle2338]

^Its not all lead. they have anything.;D could just look up the company/round/metal they use...

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Man I've watched this video so many times and it still amazes me thanks for sharing

[@robdevenney]

If I tried this I would still be picking hooks out of fingers a month later!

[@blacklronbriarstm94]

I really can not tell you how much I appreciate the knowledge you have passed on with this video. I'm just starting with metal working mostly regrinds, and grinder work, and hours an hours of hand sanding (smh). Thank You Sir

[@michaelfutch8960]

Interesting technique. I would be interested in seeing the same technique done with high carbon ball bearings!

[@RicTic66]

Fascinating video, thank so much. I really enjoy watching a craftsman putting their heart and soul into their work. Thanks from the U.K

[@Rasengan1inyaface]

should've carved a fish scale pattern on the handle.

[@rosiedobson4202]

Yassss

[@blubasaur9053]

yeah he should have

[@TheOnlyTominator]

Oh, that would have been clever - fun project, though!

[@firebird3859]

i would've as fish scales are like natures armor i guess.

[@treyingle2638]

That would have been a great idea

[@Tigerman4545]

Wow, I would have NEVER thought to use a bunch of fishing hooks for a canister weld. Bravo, my friend, bravo.

[@Popebug]

Great focus on the bushes in the background at the end there, but I wanted to see the blurry knife in the foreground.

[@TheOldKid]

pretty impressive. I've been a carpenter for about 30 years and have made some interesting things in that time but blacksmithing has always been something I've wanted to do mainly with knives. there isn't much if any blacksmiths where I live so it's hard to get first hand knowledge. knife looks really nice. thanks for taking the time

[@fife8332]

Wow that pattern is sick! It looks like microbes under a microscope, and as a geneticist, I love it! I wish I had that knife.

[@Chag2point0]

I know nothing about making knives. I use them everyday and to see you make a beautiful knife out of fish hooks another thing I use everyday just blew my mind.

[@cooperDG123]

What keeps it from exploding?

[@LordDemosair]

+Elijah Hayes Was wondering the same thing.

[@polishavenger1]

+Elijah Hayes There is nothing in the canister that expands rapidly or is combustible.

[@LordDemosair]

polishavenger1 We were wondering (at least I was) about the air that was still inside. Since it's airtight, where does the air go? Yes, it's not combustible but compressing it would increase pressure inside the tube. It'd have to go somewhere.

[@cooperDG123]

Well the air would expand

[@emorymyparentsnevergavemea5882]

+Elijah Hayes The air would not expand, it would simply run out of space. But judging by how nothing exploded, I'd say there's no reason to worry.

[@franciscassidy2966]

all of this welding and forging type stuff on youtube is so interesting. i dont do any of it myself but this is very cool to see all of the processes

[@amyasseektruth8246]

This is wonderful, but with my luck... spend 60+ hours making my knife just to have a seagull carry it away and dropping it in the ocean. Happened twice already!!!

[@GreenBeetle]

+Verum Quaerere Seek Truth heheh.

[@dylanzrim1011]

Not something I'd take fishing without it having a lanyard

[@jack_daddy_mack]

If possible; I'd say pack a shotgun and shoot thoes damn birds out of the sky.

[@amyasseektruth8246]

:) hello...

[@coopercoats8953]

throw em rice

[@freedomfighter0011]

So interesting to see such a new and unique technique applied to such an old tradition. I am always amazed at how somebody's imagination can bring out such creativity. Every day on earth is a day to learn something new. Well done.

[@johnny6767g]

I'd put a bottle opener on the end, then it would really be a fishing knife

[@CarbonTalon]

that's awesome. thank you for sharing how to do this. A lot of the other guys who do Damascus are using tools there is no way I could ever afford, this looks doable for the common man. much appreciated

[@OverDueAtom799]

u should try to buy a MIG welder then the stick welder for wht ur doing and easy to fill in and faster

[@GreenBeetle]

+Overdueatom Thanks for the help. When I can afford one I'll have to look into it. What model do you like?

[@OverDueAtom799]

+Green Beetle XMT 304 cc/cv the Auto Link. its 60% duty cycle and u can buy the wire feeder too and u can stick and mig with the system

[@GreenBeetle]

+Overdueatom $3k!

[@OverDueAtom799]

[@OverDueAtom799]

welds amazing and good for beginners

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

Hi there, i am a beginner knife maker and for some reason i keep skipping past this video. But i must say it has turned out to be one of the most entertaining and informative knife making videos i have seen so far ! This "canister steel" thing is very exciting, thanx!

[@Eddy9lives]

As an angler... that's an expensive ass blade! Where'd you buy the hooks?

[@GreenBeetle]

eBay. check description, they didn't cost as much as most people think. I talked the guy into selling me ALOT at once. heheheh.

[@BruceUre]

This is superb; the knife itself, the ideas, and the presentation. Thank you.

[@EpikzGamer]

is that the new Fac New Stat Trak Fisherman knife? how many keys do you want fam?

[@joeyhemlock]

I love watching blacksmithing videos even though I've never tried it myself. This knife is gorgeous and unique.

[@msblades5382]

-Green Did you test the knife? You said in the video the fish hooks were a high carbon steel. Did you ever find out the type used in the hooks? You added 1084 powdered steel? was it difficult to do the forge welding by hand? I am wanting to do some pattern steel and I will have to also do it by hand so I was just curious. Thanks in advance, Shan

[@GreenBeetle]

they were advertised as carbon steel. I suspect they are low grade, low carbon stainless steel. With that much unknown steel in the knife one should consider it decorative.

[@msblades5382]

Thank you for the reply.I haven't checked it out yet but how about those bbs for a bb gun?I wonder if they are carbon steel . Hmm. gonna have to checkthis out....

[@TheVbelanic]

youre a babe

[@arakseepoom5784]

thank you

[@whodison5138]

I'd like to re-create that knife but I live in a fishing community and hooks are high here $10 for 100 hooks I wanted to know if you know of a company maybe cheaper plz let me kno

[@BlackBeardOutdoors]

love your videos. I am far from any form of expert in regards to smithing but here is a trick I learned for straightening out metal in a vise so it won't leave any tool marks. Use some angle iron since it's machined smooth. this way you will get perfect flatness and no tool marks to grind out later. clearly your method works great just something I wanted to chuck out there. keep up the great work

[@SonicTwins47]

Dude this guy needs to be on Forged In Fire!!

[@ivanuck]

I know right!!!!! I love thy show so much I thought I was the only one watching only in like the world

[@ThatOldMan2112]

Somehow I landed on this from watching fishing videos. I have to say that that is really, really cool. I don't know anything about forging, but I know when something looks good, and that is a beautiful knife.

[@emorymyparentsnevergavemea5882]

[@leviledbetter]

really enjoyed your video. it's 13 minutes but your commentary and video format makes it fun to watch. thanks for upload man!

[@CaptainDominic]

Have you tried a tube with the long side open so you can better place a flat layer of hooks and filler powder the repete for multiple layers. Then seel with a piece of plate. Like a fish hook lasagna

[@ashley7990ful]

I don't even fish but I found this very interesting . it's pretty cool that you are brave enough to do this. Thanks

[@AJSSPACEPLACE]

make you make a knife from military dogtags?

[@GreenBeetle]

+AJSSPACEPLACE That would be awesome but it looks like dog tags are made from aluminum. They could be melted down and poured as a handle, perhaps?

[@AJSSPACEPLACE]

Green Beetle perhaps. A dogtag handle would be cool on some kind of military style knife.

[@brendandor]

+AJSSPACEPLACE They could be stacked up like a stacked leather handle then welded in a few places?

[@jeffhotness544]

+AJSSPACEPLACE You could make a stencil to draw out a pattern on your blade, and then etch it.

[@adamlovin7690]

really that's disrespectful!!!

[@charlesreynolds5323]

thank for the voice over. super easy to understand and now i can try this for myself!!

What an incredibly well done video, great step-by-step advice as to some of the pitfalls and the narration and resolution of this was outstanding.

[@عابر-ن8ع]

ryan shields great way to start a massive political fight in the comment section.

[@huckstirred7112]

to be 100 percent sure your welds r air tight you would have to fill the pipe up to the top with argon and suspend it right above a candle over night . even water can take a night r 2 to leak. Mig welded pipe would rarely hold the argon over night. that's why they weld steam pipe with stick or tig. Awesome video i never thought it would turn out! you are a much better craftsman than I. excellent welding by the way

[@MrJsteed2009]

Very cool! I hadn't ever heard of this technique. It gives a great effect. The oak burl and the work on the spine was nice. Thanks for your effort- much appreciated!

[@josiahwood346]

I did not think this was possible. Guess I learned something as well. Incredible as always!

[@Xellos14]

Glad I'm not the only one who has trouble using the 'tap' method for stick welding. I was only ever able to get it by 'match striking' it across the steel.

[@doctordelts7811]

You earned yourself a sub, the white out technique is very interesting and I have now learnt from the green beetle

This is perhaps the most interesting blade making video and tutorial ever made . I have been making knives for 40 years and have yet to see this process done by anyone else .
