Simplest Knife Build Ever! - YOU Can Make It.

[@RedBeardOps]

Very clever with the pencil in the drill! LOL

[@warlockcommandcenter]

You can use a dowel and valve grinding compound to do this. Just round the end of the wood dowel apply grinding compound in finer grades until smooth just as he did with the pencil and green scotch bright. I think my problem would be lining up the moon creates instead of random spacing.

While it’s not super simple, I have started powder coating knives that I make from Pops house steel. It’s high carbon and I don’t want them to rust so powder coating really fits the bill. And thank you for turning me onto Pops. They’re steel is awesome and so is their service.

I have watched 100s of hours of knife making videos and I still watched this one. Walter’s presentation is always on point. 👏

Cool, simple project! Would be a great way to use scrap cut offs from other knife builds. A great, cheap, effortless way of de-scaling steel, is an overnight soak in grocery store vinegar. The 5-6% acetic acid eats it up. Pretty much wipes right off. Works great for the mill scale on hot rolled steel as well. It can be reused numerous times.

I love how often you say something like "it's fine".

[@monkpato]

Thanks for all the help! You ought to put Pop's url in the description to make it as easy to get to as possible.

Dear Walter, that little 1-30 grinder will function better if you move the platten behind the belt making it flush with the belt. This removes the oveling , also known as slack belt grinding, thus making the grind flatter to the edge. Note: Walter already knows this..

[@droopydawg]

Another great "for the beginner" video , thanx fer all your content, always a joy, share them often. PS. I'm dying to see your take on a scagel style, your ability to show so many ways of accomplishing tasks is a skill "goldmine"

[@Rick40years]

Cool video. I love the simplicity. Thanks

[@CharlMarais247]

Made my first knife last week. Thanks for the inspiration

[@richardbacon493]

Another super cool knife and awesome video! Mr. Sorrells you have to be one of if not the coolest knife maker around! Thanks for all the information and fantastic videos

[@eddy6711]

Great video, Walter. I always enjoy and learn. Love your humor too. Thank you

[@phelandeluna5439]

The Sharpie works fine and not nearly as toxic!

[@seewaage]

Cool project!

[@warlockcommandcenter]

Walter, this is a great project. I love my Crkt neck knife it is great for opening mail, boxes from Amazon mine was kind of rough when new but my diamond stone turned factory edge in to a thin mirror edge. That cut great and saves my big folder for serious social intercourse. Not it has a serious edge also. I just may build one of these to give to my daughter, for EDC.

[@sleazy1drache]

Just got to love the no fancy bullshit approach! Thanks for sharing your skills like this.

[@jcnone]

Great video...

[@devinboothby1514]

I have been making a similar blade and neck sheath for several years, they sell great and are easy to make.

[@johnreavis5024]

How much are you selling yours for?

[@devinboothby1514]

35.00 plus shipping

[@fredmonroe6042]

Thanks for the basic class.

[@hubrigant]

My favorite is the one with the clean surface and scale left in the divots.

[@stevelee3144]

I love O1 tool steel easier to get scratches out of than 1095

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

Lots of great information in here... Thank You

[@kennethomeara9848]

That was great! Thank you.

[@monkpato]

[@vicholm1000]

Can’t wait for next vid🔪☕️

[@chrissimpson6334]

Thank you for this Info.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Cool knife!!!

[@jettaphillips5023]

Keep it up

[@johnreavis5024]

What thickness steel did you use? Please reply!! Awesome knife. I’m a beginner so I’m just learning!!

[@NateWebb0483]

The pencil... 😂

[@Dorkyorcy]

Is there any particular reason you use O1 instead of 1075, 1084 though?

[@johnreavis5024]

What’s the thickness of the steel used? Awesome video and all your videos are very helpful and I’m learning.

[@netwak]

looks like 1/8"

[@GeorgeBurgers-xt5hr]

👍👍

[@wfd805]

I have had more than one person ask why the site won't allow them to see anything beyond a picture of the Luna and give a well written thought of the day type of thing when they tap on the pictures. Though I couldn't answer, and I know they wanted to see about a purchase, I said I would do what they feared and ask the man himself...

[@jammbbs1688]

I want to make knives so bad I built that wooden jig to help me make knives cuz everything is so expensive anymore I can't even get thay same grinder from harbor freight

[@Jeffrose_]

How would a guy force a patina on 01 tool steel?

[@swampcritterisbackbaby1740]

Lemon juice or other acidic juices will give a grey/black color. Urine will give a brown color.

[@zumbazumba1]

Lool when you buy all the tools its 500$ for a little knife +the time you spent. . .

[@arrzfr]

this thing is so small you can use a hacksaw and a file. don't dimple the handle, harden the blade on charcoal, you're talking zero cost.

[@bevans8549]

It's about the fun and cool factor. You can make a knife any size doing the exact same thing. The 1" belt may be the down fall of a big knife though. But a file will clean every thing up.
