Odin Makes: Michael Myers knife from Halloween 1978

[@shadowforge]

Odin just standing there staring at the wall off camera is so relatable to those of us with makers brains.......love it

[@elijahgaines1944]

agreed.

He stood there for 7 seconds before he figured it out, that's 2 hours in my time haha!!

I really wanted to make this out of wood at some point when was very young and not a good prop maker. And it turned out horribly. ( think of it from a prop maker point of view, as a toddler trying to recreate the Mona Lisa with a stick of charcoal.) I can’t tell you how happy I am to see one of these things, while it actually looks great, while also being fan made. I love this. Ps: when I started watching you, I always wanted to be like you, and be able to make things as good as you do. And watching your videos over years and time, has improved my skills by more that’s normal. You helped me achieve that, and I thank you for it.

Odin it would really dope to see your take on the original 1978 Michael Myers mask… seems extremely simple to a sense but also extremely challenging! I know you could do it bro!

[@lemonysnick5171]

This would be awesome

[@MBrulla]

There are dozens (possibly hundreds) of sculpts to recreate the original '75 Kirk. Each one is aimed at recreating a certain look from each movie - the Castle stretch being one of the hardest. There are even pulls made from the scan of the original mold. None hit all the marks. It's an exercise in futility for so many.

19:00 The frame of Michael Myers watching someone fix his knife and being surprised at how well it works is hilarious

Odin taking a knife to the neck like a champ. There's a reason they named a god after him.

Can you make a ‘reverse bear-trap’ helmet form Saw? I think it would be AWESOME if you could wear one of those around a con

Using this video as instructions as well as the template I made one of these for my Cousin who is a HUGE Michael Myers fan, he absolutely LOVED it. Thank you :)

Odin! Ever try making THE micheal myers mask ? The Odin way?🤔

The knife scales are held in place with pins. Source: Forged in Fire

they're rapid rivets, not pins

Just saw Dune last night and oh boy is there so many great things you could make from that.

Tang pins

[@TylerSnyder305]

You did a much better job than I expected. Knives are just something many people can't get right in foam. The only things I would have done differently would be in the handle. I use exclusively vintage wood handled cutlery in my kitchen ( most between 30 and 100 + years old ) and you will always see staining around the rivets and around the edges where moisture has rusted the tang and that iron oxide has leached into the wood. It would not be necessary for screen accuracy since the knife would have been relatively new at the time, but I think it would age relatively quickly with Micheal using it without care or cleaning.

[@johno186]

Simple, but full of useful techniques. Thanks. Watched Dune this past weekend. I know it's a variation on what you have done already, but can you do a Freman Stillsuit Mask?

[@Thencarmona64]

Odin: “uh i like to make my core out of uh…” *stroke*

Thank you for sharing your mistakes too. Shows you’re human and mess up just like we will, even with all your experience.

[@tomishere3401]

This is gonna help with my cosplay so much. Thank you!

[@michael6001]

the small wood grains suggest that the scales are made of oak wood, and they are called handle scales, and pines to hold them on

[@DontAskWhyItsJustCuz]

*pins (pines)...

[@michael6001]

@@DontAskWhyItsJustCuz thanks

[@RDGoodner]

From watching way too many episodes of Forged in Fire, I have learned that those metal bolt thingies that go through the handle to hold the pieces together are called "pins." The two sides of the handle are called "scales."

Why is it that whenever I go through a phase of liking something Odin makes it XD

Thank you!

[@Duder_abides]

I've seen like 5 of your videos and I was thinking, when's he grabbing the graphite rod? Love your stuff, really creative.

[@86holt]

Wood side - scales Metal inserts - pins (gives mechanical stability)

[@Lou-Lou-]

The fact that for the second half of the video he had a black smear on his face from the foam powder made me smile

[@javelstaff]

Useful for conventions. Sick

[@HakuginSan]

Really like the simplicity of this one. If I recall correctly, the handle pieces are referred to as "scales" and they are held on with pins/rivets.

[@ahsanulazim9165]

Odin is a funny guy.I love is work,way to go...

[@afg122602]

i believe its official. odin has lost his mind. great build as always.

I totally thought Someone unplugged an Odin robot when he stopped talking and just stared into oblivion. I was like dang that’s an awesome prop that he made. Think Odin was going to pop up any second. Lol

[@adhyaynjaipuria637]

Odin do something from dune. Perhaps the crysknife or the stillsuit mask

[@henry_sjj6515]

Man Odin this looks sick.

[@fauxmarmorer9544]

What I usually do for the rivets(that's what I assume they are) on either armor or knives, if I don't want to feel the rise, is take a straw, or a small sharp tube about the right size and press it in fairly hard, and you should be able to see it, as it leaves an impression, and you might be able to do it after you paint to get it more noticeable

[@michaelmyers4865]

Nice Shape pun

[@nicholaspiscitelli495]

Fantastic job

[@pilummurialis6490]

I would love to see you make the mask out of foam next, just like you did the Hockey mask!

[@jigokuNeko]

Lol like the bot st the end Michael is memorized by his work

[@dunnebug]

YES!

[@gonzaler99]

You should have done a still shot, photo, of you looking through the mask, holding the knife with Felicia screaming in background..lol

[@Transfan327]

Could also seal the foam with resin/epoxy. More stiff, yet still con safe, and easily sanded/painted

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Buying cheap metal rulers works wonders for stiffening thin knifes too. Can usually cut them with pliers too.

[@ScriptedEntertainment]

Hey Oden! I really think you'd do a great job at tackling the 1978 Myers mask, not even from scratch. I reckon you could even transform a William Shatner mask to the original Michael Myers mask. I think you'd do great and it'd make for an amazing video!

[@mariahwoods8399]

Great project! Very simple but looks amazing!

[@MongrelProps]

Wrist shield generators from Dune would be awesome.

[@andykirkdorffer1389]

[@mistabrrrly]

You should make something from Warhammer 40k, I feel like it would be a good challenge. Ork Shottas or choppas, chainswords or chainaxes like Gorechild, or even Bolters and lasguns

[@MeanJohnDean]

Have you ever thought of using a knife sharpening machine to create the edges. I would think it would be a way of making a smooth even edge.

That is so cool Make a venom musk nest

[@sum1liteamatch]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned the names of the knife parts but the wood components would be scales, and they are held on by rivets, sometimes Chicago screws. And that thicker component on the heel is just an extended bolster that forms a finger guard. Hope that helps!

[@jethrodrelimit]

O my days, yeeeees odin, what a simplistic yet legendary build, do love how stumped you made ure self whilst solving the same problem hahahaha ha, keep em coming...

If you want to make it thinner, you can use an old hacksaw blade for the core. Especially if you cut the teeth off.
