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.

[@anvilsbane]

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.

[@dennisobrien3618]

It's always refreshing to see someone create a nice knife without using fancy equipment that costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. Also, that design is what I would consider optimal for an all-around knife. Well done!

[@babang78788]

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

[@milutindjilas6740]

I like it a lot! I see it as minimalistic approach with use of traditional elements!!

[@globyois]

That’s excellent! Looks GREAT!

[@SweetTooth8989]

Very nicely done. You do a great job freehand grinding the bevels and sharpening on the stone too. End result was beautiful, give yourself more credit!

[@newrussian1955]

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

[@jimsmitn7569]

Well done young man! Well done

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@user-cv7fb2om4c]

Отличная работа! Нож красивый и по форме и по стилю.

[@patrickflanagan8008]

A beautiful piece.....I'd buy that.

[@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

[@pauledmonds7316]

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

[@randyo308]

Love this! Beautiful work.

[@jda2525]

It couldn't be better than this! It's a wonderful piece of hand crafted artwork, it's individual. Great work!! 👍🙂

[@niclasbagenheim7181]

Really nice design on the blade! I also like the fact that it was done with old scrap materials!

[@RustLegion]

thank you , scrap materials have their limitation but it's always fun and satisfying to turn them into something new :)

[@user-le5ws9mv5u]

Μοναδική και υπέροχη δουλειά. 👍💪

[@robertnorton3870]

Trash to heirloom. Absolute perfection sir.

[@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 :)

[@_BigLife_]

That turned out really nice. I really like how you have everything set up to be held in that killer big vise. Thanks for sharing.

[@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! 🙏🏼

[@klopman1]

Your a True artist.

[@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

[@406751]

Oh wow looks great!!

Man that blade though FAWWWWKKKKK Very VERY nice 👍 🤯
