Making a Nice Knife from Trash materials only

I challenged myself with making the fanciest knife that I can , by using only scrap materials lying around my house. I forged the blade from old wagon wheel and piece of broken bearing and made the handle from piece of old board. I also tried some metal engraving on it. The end result is not perfect as usual , but I learned a lot.

[@kanukkarhu]

Are you kidding me?!? That is amazing work! I love how the metal bits came out! Really, really cool! Just so cool what some talented people can make from 'junk.' 👍🏻

[@RustLegion]

thank you friend , glad you like it :)

[@guyemmott4009]

Quality work friend...👍. I would buy it..!!

[@funnyfly3550]

I'm as a metallurgist usually quite critical about such a KZbin knife making but this time definitely thumbs up. Solid work and very nice knife design. This guy knows what is he doing.

[@RustLegion]

Thank you , I'm glad to hear this. I try to be entertaining but not to go too far :)

[@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube]

Other than pourous steel, unstable & worst wood to use and off center edge geometry, sure it looks good. 😂😂😂😂

[@KKoKoRR]

@@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube Dude it is just cutting tool, there is no need to make atomic precise. I was critical before too for knife making, also quite obsessed with steel specification but I realize that is just a tool, no need to use perfect or super duper material. Because anybody use them for a life time except you are a butcher.

[@anvilsbane2196]

There’s nothing at all wrong with this lovely knife. Worst handle material? That would be duct tape. Which is probly what that troll would use.

[@idhatemet00]

@@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube unstable and worst wood would be pine, even in that instance it would still fit in the context of the video, "making a nice knife from trash materials". the point of the video was using whatever he had lying around. heirloom quality knives from years past didn't have cruwear, magnacut, or k390, etc, they had blister steel then crucible/ cast steel. although the crucible/ cast steel process further refined the blister steel process, the carbon content of those blades varied greatly as the steel wasn't able to be totally homogenized on a chemical level like it is today. the steel used in the video is far better than anything they had back in those days, it is more than adequate, and the point is to show the barrier to entry in knife making isn't high. people like you will comment things like this, but i GUARANTEE you have never made a knife. keep on hating from your basement guy.

[@silvanusasher446]

I keep coming back to this videos because the knife turned out so simple and beautiful, i would consider this a crowning achievement if i had made it sir

[@newrussian1955]

Шикарна работа Лучшая что я видел Видно что мастер кайфует от работы

[@babang78788]

One of the few unique knives I’ve seen in long while

[@arturhosaev4999]

Я бы себе в коллекции такой нож не отказался иметь. Лучшее видео что я видел. Мастер просто супер!!! Сделал прям от души, я смотрел не отрываясь от экрана. Великолепная работа! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lordskorpius1971]

For being a completely upcycled project, or even for not, it's beautiful. It's not overly lavish, or bougie, but it's pretty and also useful. So many pretty knives arent functional as well so, well done.

[@RustLegion]

Thank you , I try to make functional things and add a little bit of decoration :)

[@LordHolley]

I couldn't agree more. I roll my eyes every time I see some knife that has very limited functionality. I prefer to be able to use it, not just show it off.

[@lordskorpius1971]

Hey, I collect knives. You ever want to make an EDC somewhat sexy looking EDC knife for me, that would be great ​@@RustLegion

[@jeffreyknotts4148]

One of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@RustLegion]

glad you like it and thank you for the support :)

[@stantilton2191]

Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing the build with us.

[@willd6515]

I love the ''hamon'' on the blade, gives it a distinct vibe. Props to you for making something out of nothing!!!

[@idhatemet00]

a traditional hamon is intentionally done with clay to keep the spine soft and the edge of the blade hard, makes for a tougher blade and results in a similar color variance. the variance in color in the video is from the 2 different types of steel used for the edge and the body of the knife. does look like a hamon though so i get the confusion lol

[@robertnorton3870]

Trash to heirloom. Absolute perfection sir.

[@wyattbussard9558]

Hey you do awesome work! Here’s a pro tip. When sanding the handles, put duct tape on the back of the sandpaper. That’ll keep it from tearing.

[@RustLegion]

thanks for the idea, I will try it

[@Clayton_JSO]

Very great knife. Congrats 👏👏

[@kylebates3627]

Nothing quite as fulfilling as giving something old a new life. Your work is incredible, i really enjoy it everytime one of your videos pops up

[@RustLegion]

Thank you mate , I'm glad you enjoy it. It was always more dun for me to use old junk as materials :)

[@ToolsandTime]

Wow nice work--that came out magnificent!

[@MillerWB87]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@normanlongthorp8763]

Beautiful work, and a sweet design. You certainly have an impressive array of skills at your disposal. It’s nice to see someone still doing hand engraving, in an era when it seems as though nearly everything has been computerized. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@sleazy1drache]

Beautiful knife, and excellent video showing the process. Thanks for sharing!

[@pauledmonds7316]

This is Absolutely Beautiful.... and a Really Practical knife as well. An Amazing piece of work!!

[@HonestDoubter]

I think this is some of your best work. Just keep loving the process...

[@dixonqwerty]

Excellent job young man!

[@RustLegion]

Thank you . glad you like it :)

[@user-ex5ow7gt4b]

Συγχαρητήρια πολυ καλη δουλειά και ενα ποιοτικό αποτέλεσμα

[@joshcarter-com]

The knife is magnificent but I also wanted to compliment your editing skills. I was glued to the screen for all 20 minutes. You do a great sense of pacing, when to insert humor, when to annotate with text. I’m guessing you spent as much time on the video as you did on the knife-and both are masterpieces.

[@GlarusGaming]

Incredible as always. It's a pleasure watching you work!

[@RustLegion]

thanks my friend

[@september1683]

[@neilyakuza6595]

Nicely done, the flower on your handle butt cap is the same flower I use on my makers mark for my knives. A dogwood flower.

[@406751]

Oh wow looks great!!

[@richardschneider4775]

Incredible. All from scrap and reasonable tools in a shop. Just amazing. I would make (I would buy a no-frills model) . No carving no engraving no stippling no ferric chloride on the handle no fancy butt plug. Forged polished steels and oak with tung oil wax either both. The reverse Hamon show the perfect blend of soft hard steel. Nice work all around. I buy super simple very sharp knives and I USE THEM ALL HARD

[@craigcook1571]

You got talent for sure

[@pabloperlo4479]

You make art, congratulations.

[@cacmcgoo1]

Nice work. Great looking knife.

[@robertr4193]

I simply would not wear those crocs and do metalwork. I remember being in school in welding class. One of the molten drops splashed from the weld and into my shoe. It was very small but the pain taught me an unforgettable lesson.
