The easiest way to do an octagonal faceted wa handle

How to get faceted wa handles perfect every time. After one of my last knives I made and put pictures on Instagram of the octagonal faceted handle people asked me how to get it so even and square. So here's the really easy way to do it.

Another great informative video. Thanks Toby. 👍

Чего тут информативного пол часа размечал, а получилось все не ровно или у вас косоглазие? Такие ручки делаются с приспособой, тогда все идеально, но лучше купить на али экспресс за 10$ а сосредоточиться на клинке.

Very cool! Nice prep for a great finish, 👍🏼🔪

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Cheers Chris I always Appreciate the feed man. And and thanks for always commenting 👍

Toby, Fire and Steel always give credit where credit is due! Keep up the vids they get me though being away at work ✊🏼

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Cheers bud 👊

[@tkriz1027tk]

Hey Toby, great videos! What grit do you use to grind in the facets? I find 120 grit seems to pull out material a bit too fast and the 220 is really slow.

[@mattwyeth3156]

Really well done I would really like to see one on handle scales

My pleasure Malcolm 😊. Thanks for watching

[@muhammadumarrosyadi9104]

I'm using router/trimmer with 45° bit profile Very easy to use and consistent results. Plus no need more fancy sanding because it's already smoothen

[@TobyFireandSteel]

That's a great idea mate. I'm not sure I've seen it done that way. 👍

[@benbroeckx1905]

Have a video on that?

[@shaunm2208]

Cheers my man

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thanks heaps brother

[@gpotter7321]

Great share, cheers

Thanks mate 👍

[@neilnilson]

Great video and a great looking handle. Would you have a link to a video that teaches how to drill the hole for the blade handle ? Thank you already.

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thane mate yeah this one might help you bud kzbin.info/www/bejne/faXIXq2PiKiHoM0

[@neilnilson]

@@TobyFireandSteel Thank you

[@Watford4321]

Lustrous

[@opwards]

thats ace. thanks for the tip tobes. i will remember that one. there is a trick thats similar ive seen on several wood working chanels like Pask makes, Jimmy diresta and johnathan kats moses, where they use a table saw and an octagonal collet to set the angles to get a perfect octagon but i dont think it would work with a taper like what you do with this. Your method of set up is pretty much exactly how you set up to hand hew a log into a beam.

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thanks heaps man. Sounds like a Canadian thing lol

[@opwards]

@@TobyFireandSteel haha yep. #lumberjackstuff hahahaha

[@leetpg]

Hey mate great video. How hard is your belt grinder going? Do you find ends of the handle ever get ground away faster than the middle and it doesn't come out properly flat?

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thanks mate. Nono don't get that problem bud. I have in the early days though. It sounds like your platern may not be adjusted correctly. Possibly to yo far in or out. Have you seen the 6 sheet of paper rule? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX67l5Wcach8eLs

[@tobymaples7646]

I approve this message

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Brilliant 👍🏼

[@eduardoalves58]

hi great video, great work, but if this is the "easiest way" I still think is not so easy. Congrats!! And, by the way, its been long time I saw a japanese video showing a machine (very simle and operating in primitive way), like a jig, to do this work in handle. This machine was composed by a wheel with blades (like plain) moving in the wood and removing material modeling in octagonal shape. I lost this viedo and I have tried to find in youtube but unfortunatelly a I can´t. So please if some of you have this mentioned video or link to, please ping me. thanx.

[@Samuel-sx1mq]

Planning on making one of these. Hopefully putting the blade into the handle is not that difficult

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Awesome bud. Check out my paring knife build to see the handle construction 👍🏻

[@matthewtE]

3:55 What is that metal block with the drill holes called? Thanks!

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Hi it's call a 123 block mate. Thanks for watching

[@Leo-hk6qg]

what wood is that handle at the end made from?

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Hi mate its spalted tamarind. uknifemakersupplies.co.uk/collections/shop-handle-material/products/spalted-tamarind-block

[@Dubyatrader]

Great video! Which height gauge do you have?

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thanks mate. I can't remember of that top of my head.

[@AustinMichael]

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Heya mate I moved to the uk so shut the Australian shop. Ill be selling stuff from my uk shop soon enough www.uknifemakersupplies.co.uk

[@adnanmahmud875]

4:00 what is the exact size in front and back edge after trimming? and what is the final length of the handle? Anyway beautiful work ❤️

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thanks mate. Im not sure on exacts mate as I do it by feel so.you need to make it comfortable for you bud

[@smeedatelierwijtvliet576]

No edge alignment in the handle?

[@TobyFireandSteel]

?

[@smeedatelierwijtvliet576]

@@TobyFireandSteel don’t need to explain edge alignment right?

[@user-oc1ye8fl5f]

Посмотрите у русских, это делается значительно проще с преспособой на гриндере а у вас все грани разных размеров.

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Thank you it just how I want it though 👍🏼

[@DadGrooves]

Good god mate, bolt down your grinder. It’s blowing in the wind.

[@TobyFireandSteel]

👍yeah that was a thing for a while lol

[@paullang1961]

hey did this guy kill him self or is he still alive just asking

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Hahaha this guy? Nah I way to happy guy for that. I moved to the UK and didn't have any tools for months as they were in a shipping container on it way over. I'll get back to videos soon I reckon. I have a podcast by the same name. And you can see what I'm doing in Facebook and Instagram Paul

[@paullang1961]

@@TobyFireandSteel lol uk what the fark you doin over there

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Got family here bud and still owned a house here nstuff

[@tklemen3]

He talks about easiest way to do Wa. But still he uses devices which normaly people do not have to use. :))) useless video!

[@TobyFireandSteel]

But I am a normal person lol. Most knife makers I know will improvise if they don't have the exact tool. Ones who don't think that way might not wanna get into knife making 🤷‍♂️ ps u can't find your KZbin channel so I can see how it should be done.
