Japanese Marking Knife from a Sawzall Blade- John Heisz Inspired

[@homesteadonomics]

Very cool! LIke your 'K' at the end... and near the end where you stuck it in the bench reminded me of a Diresta move...love it! joe

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

+homesteadonomics Thank you Joe! Ah, yes you caught the subtle Diresta reference... haha ...hard to miss his influence on this

[@BigRonxxxx]

Kyle you did a great job on the marking knife,i really enjoyed the build video,thanks for sharing,all the best

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

+Ron “Big Ron” Sanford Thanks Big Ron! Take care brother

[@DadzorRules]

Nice to see someone ripping wood with an honest-to-god rip saw. Nice project. I am gonna make one!

[@orelygarcia]

Nice work Kyle, Thumbs up.

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

+OG Timbercraft Thanks, Orely!

[@KagedBooks]

Great looking knife. I feel like i'm the only one who hasn't made a marking knife. I should probably get on that.

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

+Kaged Creations Thanks, yeah I've been doing a bathroom remodel and went through a few sawzall blades so this was a fun way to re-purpose one of the broken blades. Now I'm looking forward to using it for more hand work...

[@simonhopkins3867]

Thanks for this. I'm making 1 tomorrow. 👍

[@ADadAndHisKids]

very nice build

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

thanks man! appreciate you checking it out! It still works great....I'm thinking of making another one with a different style

[@fishsquishguy1833]

Was the blood on your thumb @ 5:03 from when the blade spun? That sucks, been there...

[@edlechleiter7042]

A marking knife ( kiridashi ) is only bevelled on one side .

[@Rollmops94]

Nothing is anything. A one bevelled knife obviously makes sense though, as it makes it easier to be precise whenever you outline a three dimensional shape.

[@soonersciencenerd383]

safety first!

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

indeed!! been using a drill press vise ever since!

[@SighthoundstudioTV]

Now I want to make one. I am very interested in making a single beveled Japanese knife someday. What was the finish on the handle?

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

+Sighthound Studio Thanks, boiled linseed oil which I really like on all my handles

[@thegauvinator3075]

damascus steel from a sawzall blade?

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

Thanks for watching, please hit thumbs up and subscribe if I earned it! I would appreciate any comments you have, take care!

[@scottl9144]

Why in such a hurry?

[@keva3336]

What kind of drill bit did you use for that steel?

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

Kenneth Varney nothing special, just an old American made bit I had....cut through pretty easily suprisingly

[@swartpeter5995]

great job! do you still have all your fingers after that drilling episode? please use your other tools I have seen some nasty accidents. were you in a hurry to make this knife? I'm not trying to "dad" you, just a kind suggestion okay....

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

Swart Peter hi, thanks. I wasn't in a hurry, just made a stupid mistake and luckily just a scratch this time

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Cool knife! I wonder if you can harden the blade? I think they harden the teeth on the blades when they make them.

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

Tom's Dreamshop Worx thanks! I bet I could. I haven't gotten into annealing and all that yet but this seems to keep the edge pretty well. I want to try some blacksmithing at some point and learn all about that. hey check out the essential Craftsman's video on forging a knife from a cable, really awesome!

[@davidnleeh4]

👏👏👏👏👍👍

[@johndavis8684]

Only supposed to sharpen one side bud.

[@mattivirta]

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

I didn't have a drill press vise at the time. Yes, as I cautioned in the video..."don't do this!"
