Good looking knife... bummer about the lanyard hole. Another option is to bust off the scales and then put new scales where the scales don't cover the hole at all and have exposed tang just at that area. Though when I've done that, the lanyard hole is nearer to the bottom and not at the top. Just a thought.

I had the exact same problem as you did just 2 weeks back. I asked the person I was making the knife for what they wanted to do and they had me fill the crack with glue and send it to them. It was mostly a display knife I was making so I guess that’s why. Now I like to put the lanyard tube more towards the center of the handle and a bit more in. Also I think I may do more bolstered handles because it guarantees that the pommel will be strong. It’s a very nice knife you made, I’m glad you finished it out the rest of the way and sent it off still. It is still a great slicer

Nice video and knife. Pity for the crack. It is repairable with epoxy (laminating/injection resin, not epoxy glue), to make it go into the crack in the handle you simply vacuum bag it and inject the resin. It can be done just on the area to repair. And do not forget to plug the lanyard hole with wax, much easier to clean later on. Strengthwise its no different than originally stabilizing the wood scales where small wood defects would be remediated with the resin. And if you still don't feel right about selling something like that as good then you can sell it as a second. Bet many would buy this particular one happily even because of the video of it being made and the story behind it.

Like the nostalgic toy story feel for the music lol. I was watching your heat treat video and you mentioned that after the quench that the decarb or whatever it is called can leave soft metal on the surface of the blade. Is this something the hand sanding can take of or do I need to grind another 1/32"-1/16" off the entire bevel?
@RedBeardOps4 жыл бұрын
Hey man, glad you liked it. Yeah, you can get though it with hand sanding for sure. I think some steels have a larger layer than others. When your file testing you knife right after the quench you can sometimes notice the decarb layer being soft for a couple of strokes of your file... then when you get though it your file will start skating. I'm not exactly sure how deep it goes, but I'm sure you can get though it with hand sanding.

@@RedBeardOps I just didn't know if one way or the other was the "right" way. But it makes sense to only grind once. As I said I'm new to everything so just trying to find what works for me. I had accidentally hardened an edge while cutting out the shape with a grinder. So when I tried to file it and then sand it later it was just so much harder and almost impossible to file. Because I'm new I didn't know how to anneal it again to make it soft. So that's why my question was relevant because I figured if it was so much harder to work it when I accidentally hardened it I would never want to work on it when it was purposely hardened.

so the mistake was that the tube was too close to the edge? doesnt seem like it would affect the use of it too much?
@RedBeardOps3 жыл бұрын
Yes sir that is accurate. The handle material where the tube was put was just too thin and cracked. Depending on how the knife was used, I also think it would perform fine, but when it comes to making custom knives for a buyer, this is unacceptable.

Beautiful Blade regardless IMO, I had a similar issue just recently with a crack by a lanyard tube, and yep I noticed during final sanding :) Thanks for sharing the build it was great to watch and I like the commentary explaining things, a lot of people just use music and that's fine, but I feel I get more out of your vids because of this, they remind me of Walter Sorrell's vids, good stuff.

Perfectionism is what makes perfect knives awesome. I would not be to hard on yourself. You always seem to learn from your work. And in this case the flaw is cosmetic and only noticeable on video when you point it out.

Beautiful knife ! And you can fix it! Mess ups happen is knowing about them that’s important. You could use a band saw and take the time to cut off the end of the knife handle to remove the eyelet for the lanyard. Then sand it smooth and boom no more problems. Lots of patience though as to not heat the metal up and loosen the epoxy though.
