How to make a kitchen knife using basic DIY tools

[@rodbarker5047]

About to make my third ever knife and it is for my fathers 80th birthday who enjoys cooking. I have all the tools you have and am so grateful for this video. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@coda514]

Beautiful knife. Shows what can be accomplished with basic tools. I guess I don't have an excuse now for not making that first knife.

[@TheRealPapaBearChris]

I feel the same way.

Beautiful knife, I have been wanting to make a chefs knife but thought it would be to difficult, you made it look easy and it came out real nice. I know what I'm doing this week end. Thanks.

[@Qlicky]

Even someone with all the tools in the world wouldnt be ashamed of that. Thats one beautiful blade!

[@surge3518]

Using the tip of a drill bit to etch the apex line= genius. Also I’m going to adopt the file zip tied to a rod technique for my plunge lines. I use a belt sander for the grind and sharpening jig for bevels but haven’t been able to produce clean plunge lines. These are the tips a novice like me need to enter the next tier of craftsmanship. I’m glad I clicked your video. Thank you

[@robertbourke7935]

Excellent work using very basic tools. Well done and great result.

[@karlwarnes6062]

Easy to follow with added text,good video shows in detail how to get results with what tools most people have without major machinery.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

thanks!

[@Brad-OTRT-Webmaster]

What joy you must get while using this knife you made yourself! Thanks for making the video.

[@panagiwtiskalampokas9808]

Happy new Year Peter!!!!!! Excellent job I'm from Athens Greece

[@josephsamson7865]

really like the knife man. just as a suggestion, if you evenly heat the blade to the same color orange as the tip was before you quench it you will come out with a higher quality knife do to a consistent hardness on the edge. keep making stuff!

[@kuromomutaro]

That's one satisfyingly beautiful kitchen knife if I make it it'll probably my favorite kitchen knife that no one would ever touch..

[@EYALAVRAHAMI]

The most beautiful chef knife profile. very good result.

[@ehsanmirza6084]

what a piece of art with simple tools pure hand made beautiful work

[@mrgeorgejetson]

Bravo! In terms of precision this is already quite a leap forward from your simple-tools hunting knife (which was also quite good, but appeared to have some issues with the pins being loose). Keep up the good work. The fact that you're doing all this with hand tools is really inspiring.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

thanks! yea, the first knife had a fair few learning mistakes, getting the bench drill makes drilling the pin holes a breeze

[@josebenitez3732]

Kudos! The whole piece is beautiful and the handle is gorgeous. They got nothing on you mate, cheers!

[@BISONOWNAGE]

The tools simply make it easier to do so it's the man holding the tool that is important and knowing what he can do with the tool.

[@vikv1292]

That was patience level 9000 bro, nice dedication , Kudos on your future endeavors !!!

[@stytos]

I was going to make a kitchen knife like how Diresta made one; but I don't have the tools he has. Your video will likely be a huge contributing influence when I make mine. Thank you for posting this video!

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

good luck, just don't rush things and it'll turn out good in my experience

[@agylub]

One of the best. Excellent profile and handle. You've set a standard to aim for!

[@edro3838]

Extremely nice piece of quality workmanship. Beautiful as well as functional. Thanks for posting, enjoyable to watch your expertise!

[@vm013]

Awesome work. That jig for filing primary bevel is ingenious.

[@masoodamg6633]

Your work is excellent and really professional

[@vicreates3353]

I'm a original black smith in India but love ur great job

[@Pillowcase]

Really nice workmanship - so satisfying to watch

[@traviswillis9922]

Great Job! Love these videos where people let the work 'do the talking'. Keep it up.

[@thebach1701]

I'm going to get into making knives this way very soon. I've always been good at this kind of thing, and it's great to see what can be done with basic tools. Loved watching this very cool.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

good luck!

[@مخمومالقلب-س2ش]

Peter Adamson Knives halo Mr Peter I'm a new flower's from Saudi Arabia &I like your channel &your work. I hope that you can help me to get one of your knifes above. thank you for your video's which gives us the meaning that nothing is impossible in the life &you can get a mazing knife from some pieces of metal and wood. if anyone has founded it .won't take it. thanks &good luck with your passion.

[@andyp5706]

Now that is a nice knife. It must have taken you an age to do that with nothing but hand tools. Something to be proud of when using it for preparing food. Hope you enjoy it.

[@reynaclothier]

I truly admire your work! I know you said it took alot with the bevel. But I think it gives the knives more history and richness to it. I'm going to make one with my son and as we will bevel and smooth it out, we will be bonding. Thank you so much for this video, it really brought me joy man that you can make a knife like this. I love it. And I just subscribed!

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Great work and that wood came out beautiful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@norel6329]

I am making a knife and a sword of a swordfish head I bought on the market. As soon as I am finished i'l post a video. Nice tools and great skills dude. thx for the vid. greetings from Tanger Morocco

[@jeanbaptiste504]

I like watching your videos because i use pretty much the same way do do knives. It also reminds people that if you want to do something you can do it with what you have. Nice video.

[@talipucar8157]

Very nice and handy chef made a knife. Congratulations.

[@raulrrodriguez7552]

Very nice job using just basic tools

[@MusicGodsNFT]

That was simply fantastic. I love the handle shape and the wood you used. Thanks for sharing! Good luck to you.

[@SharpWorks]

Beautiful knife! That came out really nice, great work. Keep it up man.

[@Ziyaadoo]

Maaannnnn....Awesome video. I have been struggling with the Gough Jig for ages...Seen you do it with the sharpy on the initial edge is just what I needed to see to get a better understanding. Thanks Mate

[@roamingrichy]

Superb looking knife!! Lot's of manual labour in that one - paid off. Keep up the good work sir!

[@kennethcaine3402]

Love the style of the knife, the blade and the handle complement each other. Great work, remember the type of tools you use doesnt deminish the final product. Files are more accurate than grinders.

[@brandonGCHACHU]

awesome workmanship. beautiful knife

[@Aetemaad4]

simple and awesome 👌 love from india🇮🇳

[@cameronedward3541]

Really inspiring work dude. I've wanted to make a knife for ages but not really been confident. Seeing the amazing stuff you've made here, and then discovering it is your second one is a huge inspiration. You deserve way more subs than you've got.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

thanks!

[@kenglass1980]

That is a thing of beauty.... well done!!!!!

[@bigbobbyjohnson1]

NICE WORK! You’ve got skills mate!

[@umpaij]

Wow!!!! This is amazing. Love the knife, very beautiful blade.

[@neilyeag]

Nice results. The handle looks great given that you only used rasp and sandpaper in your shaping. One thing I found on the intial shaping with the angle grinder is to use the 36 - 40 grit flap discs. They remove material quickly but are still controllable.

[@matusknives]

You did a grat job with the knife and the video. The video by Aaron was what persuaded me I can do it too. Today I use a little 1x30" grinder which helps a lot. Again, great work, thanks for sharing.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

yea his videos helped me a lot too. thanks for the comment

[@peterh2800]

I'm enjoyed every minute watching this video👍👍👍👍👍❤👏👏

[@Michael-mk8nf]

Awesome video! What a good start for someone wants to start making his own knives.

[@Leoavila1983]

felicitaciones, excelente trabajo manual. saludos desde mendoza Argentina

[@lothar1080]

Old belt for a strop? I like your style man!

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

ha thanks, need to make a better one at some point, but it does the trick!

[@thesteelwolf5230]

nice work... I use sesame seed oil / sweet almond oil or walnut oil... Sometimes if my scales are from an exotic tree, I blend all of them together and use the mixture. I first rub the oil on, wipe off the excess and with some oil soaked into a microfiber cloth, I wrap the handle overnight. Dunno but I accidentally discovered this when wife called downstairs and I forgot the knife handle wrapped in the cloth when our friends came in for a coffee... I saw that the scales were gleaming when I gave them a final wipe down...

[@franciscojaviertrianagarci2899]

Saludos amigo te felicito por tu exelente trabajo realizaste una hoja muy hermosa

[@farouqhannibal1916]

Hi,what an Owsome video love the simple diy with little much effort just keep on with what you doing am going to use every guide thankz alote.

[@dondavis769]

Man, from a fellow maker, that's a beautiful end result--you did a great job putting the finish on the blade and that would came out very nice as well! Congrats!!!

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

thanks, appreciate it!

[@thebrandon9287]

You make it look easy my friend. I want to try making one in the near future.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

give it a go!

[@Anbu8366]

Even with such basic tools, the knife looks so good. Try getting some micarta or some nice looking wood.

[@paralogia]

I like the wood. I prefer wood to plastic or resin.

[@dalemartin7886]

Anbu8366 I like the wood he used.

[@ElizabethRamirez-ix9vx]

you suck you ✌ of shit

[@ElizabethRamirez-ix9vx]

you

[@TheMrInadecuada]

it's a kitchen knife. micarta is more resistant to water and provides better grip in the cooking conditions. wood looks really good and warm, but prolonged exposure to water, oils and grease will eventually destroy the outer layers.

[@gaborbenedek8524]

Well done! Clever work, simple tools/ Gratulálok. Ügyes munka egyszerű eszközökkel

[@DeadGlassEyes]

I love the handle on it, great job.

[@milevapopoff2704]

que hermoso trabajo, me gusto mucho la forma tan practica que tenes para trabajar, lo practico de tu hornillo, el lijado a mano, en fin magnifico trabajo artesanal. te felicito.

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

gracias!

[@gall_blader_works]

Thank you for the inspiring vid and beautiful work. It's wonderful to see how such great work can be made even without a belt sander.

[@spartanray]

Fantastic job, mate.

[@henrikschafer5560]

I think You made a very nice knife, the design i beautyful, especially the curves in the blade and handle, and made by very few tools.

[@LeHeuZaHer]

Picked up one of those mac allister vices from B&Q a while back, they sure are a decent, well lasting vice

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

yea, they're a good bargain, mine has served me very well so far

[@adis1626]

NICE ONE ! thx for sharing the template...not many people does that!

[@gregkozma401]

Were you seeing the template link

[@СергейЛисовенко-б7м]

Вот это я понимаю ,ручная работа ,молодец мужик,хорошая работа!

[@andimayermayer]

very nice! And nice to see, you did all with a file and not with a belt grinder as most people do. and thank you for uplaoding the schematic! :) i think i will try to do one by myself next time :)

[@Rob-cc8uz]

Totally awesome, enjoyed watching

[@adamadamhoney]

Nice work! Get a few more tools (cheap die grinder and jigsaw) and save labour in the rough cuts. Really nice attention to detail and love the shape.

[@OriginalgEd]

I have to take my hat off to you mate. Amazing result with limited equipment but a lot of skill and determination. Ask for a be;t sander for Christmas!

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

it's on the list!

[@Steve_G88]

love the diy bevel grinder. great idea!

[@richardharris5336]

Like your design btw, really nice shape.

[@troywalker7890]

Hey man, congrats on another cool video & for another awesome knife. Am new to you tube & your video's are really good because of the way you go about them in your own way without trying to make them out to be fancy, just you, your simple tools & materials to turn out a top quality knives, keep up the good work & l have subscribed to your channel. Thanks

[@scottsmith2971]

Very well done. My compliments.

[@divinoamaral536]

Uma faca muito bem feita. Muito bonita. Parabéns. 👍

[@abhaasmith1985]

I love how the knife came out. I also find it funny how it says "basic" tools but a drill press (which isn't all that basic that just everybody would have) is used. Also when you check the hardness you have to use the file in a normal way to find out for sure. I can get a file to not make a mark on mild steel the way he did. Not saying it's a bad knife because it does look great and it shows that he knows kinda what he is doing just throwing a few tips out

[@typer93]

This is the one of the best tutorial for a kitchen knife, i search it a long. went my sub :)

[@JohnJJay]

Incredibly well done! And well made video, with all the right infos. Thank you so much! Keep them coming.

[@congithu5026]

It's a beautiful blade. Thanks for sharing.

[@FajnyAleZaNiski]

+1, amazing work and final result, You could make the whole knife mirror finish, it really deserve for it

[@brothersbowland4525]

That is a beautiful knife

[@fabiojoliveira1]

Fantastic, very very good!

[@prcek04]

The knife shape is really nice, thanks for sharing the template :) I plan to make a chef's knife as my next knife, so I will take inspiration from this one. Looking forward to having it in my kitchen ;)

[@peterh2800]

[@TheJassingh3193]

[@marshallboice6871]

Cool keep it up I am going to make my first knife inspired by your hunting knife

[@ГасМага]

Ручная работа всегда прекрасна и уважение вызывает 👍

[@joe708joe7]

High quality work as always! I still can't believe that you still have less than 400 subs, you deserve more. Any idea what's next?

[@PeterAdamsonKnives]

thanks! gotta start somewhere. Not sure what I'll do next, something a lot smaller than this one I think!

[@rileyt3072]

Peter Adamson Knives cool! Looking foreword to it! (Btw I'm the same guy that commented above I just got a new account)
