Yo that belt grinder is badass, removes material so fast!!!!

[@Aleeknives]

Yes it does! And it removes flesh even faster!😬

Very cool to see the process in a time lapsed manner, and cool soundtrack, too. Your attention to detail on finishing shaping on the handle is superb.

[@Aleeknives]

Thank you Ben! Man that was my first video! Please, please check out some of my newer builds. I think they have improved a little! Thanks again for the compliments

[@thatpointinlife]

@@Aleeknives, for sure! Been watching the 10 part series you did. Great videos, very informative and detailed, and very enjoyable to watch. Good stuff!

Nice work. Hello from the KC Cabinet Guys

Those lines, dude! That turned out awesome! 👍🏻

😁thanks Pete

Great video. Nice to see a knife made from scratch. Let's see more.

[@hazel7114]

Great video! I enjoyed seeing the process from start to finish. You made it look quick and easy but I know how much time you put in on each & every piece. I’m excited to see more.

[@wolfieevans7023]

I look forward to seeing the next video as I enjoyed this one very much.

Super video we loved it

[@ReignForever]

What type of wood for those handle scales? Its beautiful!!!! Thanks for the content!! 😊

The music gave me the impression that Axel Foley was prowling outside your garage waiting to bust you at any moment for running an illicit knife making operation!

[@Aleeknives]

🤣😂 this was my first video when I started the channel. There has been a lot of experimentation to say the least!

Great work,, I love the finish product

Thank you

[@millersharp5443]

As a beginner knife maker and an amateur youtuber,, I was hoping I could pick your brains a bit,, ive watch several of your videos and like them a lot,, is there any advice you can offer that will help in my journey ?

Great knife. I got to e a vertical sander. I’ve just been using a horizontal sander, what a pain in the ass. Fantastic project.

[@Aleeknives]

🤣😂🤣 I had a vertical and couldn't wait to get a horizontal! I like them both!

[@DefectorOfFutureDays]

What did you use on the handle to shine it up?

[@antoniorosas9083]

Excelente trabajo artesanal lo felicito

[@Aleeknives]

🙏Thank You!👍👊

[@rustyharvey2490]

Nice job. I was wondering why you dip the blade in the acid if it's not Damascus?

[@Aleeknives]

I use the acid to bring out the hamon line from differentially hardening the blade

[@turkuaz101046]

Güzel çalışma

[@default186]

Ive been wondering why heat up the oil

[@Aleeknives]

Science has proven that heating the oil thins the viscosity. The thinner fluid allows the vapor barrier that is formed at the surface of the steel to dissipate faster resulting in cooling faster. For instance, water is too viscous and can cool to quickly for most high carbon alloys thus resulting in cracks and fractures. However each quenching fluid would have to be researched to find the optimal temperature for the type of steel being quenched. I use 1084 steel for most everything and typically heat my canola oil to between 120 and 140 degrees and have had great success! I explained this to the best of my knowledge, I am however no expert! I am glad you asked and feel free to ask more! I just released a video last night about building a quench tank! Please check it out✌

@@Aleeknives thank you sorry for the late reply youtube only notified me now

[@d.michaelramirez6833]

Maybe I'm missing it where you say but what kind of wood is that? I'm usually good at recognizing wood structure but just not sure on that one. Cherry?

[@Aleeknives]

This one was red mallee burl from Australia

[@d.michaelramirez6833]

@@Aleeknives Gorgeous work.

[@Aleeknives]

Thank you!

[@Aleeknives]

This was actually my very first video

[@johneldredge5315]

Beautiful knives! I especially like how you slant your ricasso like that... super cool! What kind of quenching oil do you use? What liquid is in the PVC pipe? I am trying to make knives and am falling in love with the craft. Thank you for sharing your process

[@Aleeknives]

I use canola oil heated to 100 degrees or so when using 1095 or 1084 steel. The liquid in the poison pipe is a mixture of ferric chloride acid and distilled water. 1 part acid 3 parts water. This is also preference based on experience.

[@Aleeknives]

Thanks John!

[@johneldredge5315]

@@Aleeknives Thanks for your reply. I used canola oil heated around 120 on my first knife... I was using 1080. At that point the knife was already going south, but it was good practice and seem to work pretty. I obviously didnt measure hardness in any way but I did paton a good amount of wood with it when I was done. Fun stuff!

[@ΠΑΝΑΓΙΩΤΗΣΑστ]

Hello, really thank you very much for all your instructive videos...thank you again, they give us a lot of answers... A couple of questions please, if you dont mind...for how long do you soak the knife in the mixture of acid? And what does this procedure add to the blade? Another important thing i would like to ask is about C70 and 80CRV2 steel. The heat treating is the same as you describe on your tutorials? I mean the 3 normalization stages and generally the whole process. The blade takes its final hardness after the two tempering stages or after the oil quenching?? Thanks again

[@russellblankenship8164]

Just curious how many coats of oil do you put on your handles .

[@Aleeknives]

I generally do about 10 coats as a pore filler and then sand it back and do several more coats to get a glossy Sheen

[@fvelez09]

Hey man where did you get your maker’s mark steel stamp from?

[@Aleeknives]

I made it from 01 tool steel and a dremel

[@monsterdust1176]

Are you dipping it in water between grinds or is that oil?

[@Aleeknives]

Water to keep it cool

[@iameaster]

Great video! Where do you sell your knives?

Sek 09 Thumbz up :)

[@jeffreydauterman]

This is funny. I just asked how you did a 1095. What oil is this do you remember??? That’s crazy how different the steel looks based on how much you quenched into the oil!!!

[@Aleeknives]

That was pre heated canola oil

[@Aleeknives]

That is a hamon from being differentially hardened

[@jeffreydauterman]

@@Aleeknives awesome thanks dude!

Wish I knew what was going on though I can’t understand much of what your doing but cool Lol

[@nicolasdesbrosses76]

Hello, could you give me the dimensions of your knife, blade and sole?

[@Aleeknives]

I could only guess. I made that knife 2 years ago. I would say 10 inch overall with about 4.5 inch blade and 5.5 inch handle

[@Aleeknives]

Actually reverse those measurements

[@nicolasdesbrosses76]

OK thank you sir. in any case it is really sucessful and beautiful. I am starting forge and it is this kind of achievement that i would like to build in the future. Very nice achievement and thank you taking the time to answer me. Have a good evening.

[@jacquesvanzyl6174]

Never hold anything you drill in a drillpress by hand - use a vice or clamps.!!!!!

[@Aleeknives]

I do agree! Although if the piece your drilling is long enough to be stopped by the drill stantion it can not helicopter on you. I do agree with you completely and give this advice on my build series videos! Thanks for watching!

[@turnstyles7485]

You do beautiful work! But I gave you a thumbs down on this video. Not because it is not a great looking knife, it is. But because you titled the video as a"tutorial", and it is just another music video. The primary reason I watch knife making videos is to learn. Yes I can learn a little just by watching. But I can learn a lot more when the maker talks about why they do things. I am still a new subscriber and am looking forward to seeing more from you, but I'm hoping to see actual tutorials in addition to the music videos.

[@Aleeknives]

Hey I appreciate the honest reply! I am planning the tips for knife makers build series now. I am new to KZbin and learning the video editing has been a whole new adventure! How far into knife making are you? It is a wonderful way to put your skills to the test! send me some pictures of your work, I would love to see it! Thanks For watching, it would be awesome if you decided to change your mind on the thumbs down though. It hurts the youtube algorithm for the video. Anyhow Cheers!

[@turnstyles7485]

You took my comment just like I hoped you would. So I will gladly change to a thumbs up. So far I have only made a couple of stock removal blades from a circular saw blade. I gave them both to my Dad without taking any photos.

[@Aleeknives]

I just launched the tutorial series! I hope you enjoy it and are able to take something away from it! Cheers

[@johnjude2685]

Expensive way to cut off stock belts are costly prices for cutting stock. Thumbs down. I'm not rich....

[@Aleeknives]

😄 these belts are like 3 bucks each! Your funny

[@knifeauction]

You didn't use no Judo chop to cut that steel dude. For one split second the slipjoint you used was in frame! Nice try though!
