How to Make a Knife - Part 3

[@KevinDufflev]

Best series on knife making so far.Appreciate the instructions and especially the humor.tks very much

[@strix2035]

This was a real nice series you put together for people that just are starting out with minimum tools, thanks for making it.

[@mikeromophp]

Fantastic tutorial of simple tools. Your knack for using proper terminology and then explaining it helps us novices to learn the vernacular. Thanks Walter.

[@TheStreetdoctor]

I have watched numerous video's on beginner knife making on youtube and found each to have their own merits. I found these 3 video's to be the MOST helpful and informative. What I wouldn't give to apprentice under your guidance! Thank you for your time and no BS approach to your explanations!

[@geedubb2005]

I agree Doc

[@chrimay]

Buy a knife is easy and cheap, all knife lovers start buying cheap models and some quality ones, but finally any knive lover dreams about make its own, no matters of much time an effort it takes. Thank you so much Walter for share, greetings fron Costa Rica.

[@ShockSlayer]

YES. I got everything I wanted in a video, handle-making, shaving, and tomatoes.

[@njdunson]

Very informative for me as a beginner with minimal tools. I have watched these three videos about a dozen times each. My first knife is coming along nicely. Thanks for posting them.

[@theelfman]

Quite possibly the most informative and detailed video on Knife making. I'll have a go at this soon...

[@Brutuss04]

Very nice work. Thank you for taking the time to show us this. I just may try this.

[@seewaage]

Thanks for the great series. I learned a lot about a bunch of different things like lubing sandpaper, different tempers and things on steel and a couple other things. Thanks!

[@circuscase]

Guy should have his own TV show!!! Good stuff Sensei !!!

[@twotonanchor]

Man! I've made a few knives from stock removal but this video series is awesome! Thank you!

[@sickboy8831]

walter thank you for all your videos. im making my first knife with primitive tools. it is coming along very well but alot of work in my spare time.i work 50-60 hrs a week but i love doing this. thank you for your information and my next step is heat treat and tempering. keep up the good work and this is how you learn. doing it yourself.thank you

[@JonAlycia]

thanks m you so much for your help. me and my friend bought an anvil and have a forge and have started our first knifes out of rail road spikes. we appreciate all your expertise and tips. it's so valuable

[@thedude950]

Outstanding videos sir. Going to try my hand at a file knife this weekend. Also, your folded steel swords are absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your skills.

[@xMADCx]

Amazing video! cheers from Brazil! this series was one on the best knife making video i've had the pleasure to see!

[@shaunlambertii79]

We have very similar thought pattern and sense on humor. Rarely do I find myself laughing out loud in a room by myself, but at least one time in each of your videos it's happening. I'll be making several knives my friend, I've been looking for walk throughs of this caliber. I will be promoting these videos to others.

[@simonlimon7052]

Walter your amazing, very informative and practical blade smithing. Thank you Sir, learned a lot...see you soon...

[@geedubb2005]

Thanks for sharing sir! Very helpful and keeping it simple gives a lot of people the ambition to make one. I was just finishing up 2 small crook carving knives I made from straight razors when I ran across your video. I actually took a break from them for video 2. I'm now looking forward to a "file" knife. Thanks again

[@FandyAshura]

thank you Mr Sorrells great video and i learned so much from it...

[@Jason_Family_Man]

Who disliked this??!! What is there to not like ?? Good vid dude.

[@madwilliamflint]

***** What does that have to do with this video?

[@grahamdwells]

Awesome video as ever Walter thanks

[@guitardavepdx]

Very cool. My dad has a kabar style knife he keeps in his tackle box or with his hunting gear he made like this when he was in jr high and he 70 now! Thing holds a wicked edge too! Was really cool watching the process he took to achieve the end result.

[@buddybros2557]

This is the best damn KZbin channel ever

[@mattoshea261]

thanks Walter, really interesting and worth the view, I appreciate your efforts.

[@stoneblue1795]

Great series!

[@MrChuckDugan]

Great series, subscribed.

[@plumgaming2671]

this is going to be my first knife project

[@Amatirasu]

Great video Walter. I like the fact that you used all hand tools in this basic video of knife making. I've just honed my skills in knife sharpening beyond most professionals I have come across, so now I'm interested in the art of creating these tools. Looking for an apprentice? Haha, keep on making great blades.

[@aztell05]

Thank you so much for sharing your skills, I learned so much from this video!

[@doberman74]

really enjoying this, im about to tackle a pair of D2 Wakizashi's so looking forward to whats next :)

[@Robbieburnett1]

thanks so much learned so much, cant wait for the other more advanced series

[@saboione]

Great tutorial man! Thanks for your wisdon.

[@mikepeterson1207]

Gadzooks! Best educational video ever!

[@rebkong]

you're the very nice and intelligent knife maker

[@motorcyclelad]

Thank you Walter!

[@brownbrownies7413]

This is my favourite one of his knives in all his videos. I really want to make it but I just can't... I'll try in the future but this knife just looks really nice and is my dream idea of a knife that I would like to own or make

[@wildernes84]

You are an awesome dude. Subscribed.

[@amitziv171]

Your videos are awesome. I almost gave up on doing a knife because i didn't have the experience to use some dangerous tools as disc saws etc..

[@joarflesja1516]

i just started knife making. it will be a smal saex from a file. and now i know how im goning too make my handel. Thanks for the video..

[@tomthompson7400]

great progression ,

[@dawuytniga2208]

Keep up the good work 😃

[@Screamingtut]

thanks very informative I enjoyed watching all of them.

[@IvarsDayLab]

Great knife to put on bookshelf or cut tomato's :D Guys if you want make a good knife and tool, check some others how to make a knife videos, because this is a kids level! If you glue the handle than everything should be solid so epoxy glue is highly needed, no wood glue what can get loose if you grab the knife with wet hand! So you fill everything with epoxy, so that wood, glue and blade is like a one solid piece! Japanese traditions :D:D:D Japanese guys where using one piece solid wood no glued pieces what get cracks from file!

[@dawuytniga2208]

That's really awesome

[@Beaches_south_of_L.A.]

I like this guy. He's super cool.!

[@InsaneBroslovski]

Thank you very much!

[@nickkendall3764]

Hello walter from England if recently started watching your videos and making knives myself so far tool type knives in particular leather working knives .and your videos have helped me so much I can't thank you enough of settled on buying 01 tool steel for my next projects and stick with it till I get good with it and know it well I'm extremely new months in several knives and chisels for my lathe and having so much fun with it I have tried to watch other videos but I can't seem to get as much out of watching them as I do yours. is there any channels you recommend I want to do so utility knives next .aww and the saw dust and glue I learned that 30 years ago at school and never forgot since I was lucky to have a very skilled wood work teacher at school .anyway thanks for all the help it's really driving my passion for this craft I seem to be stuck in Japanese styles there's something about the way that do things that specks to me personally

[@lorddelle]

i need more ! Cant wait for new videos!

[@josemnevarez1732]

Clear understanding of things...

[@charlessaldat8140]

AMAZING, I WILL START TO MAKE MY OWN KNIFE

[@fd4294]

Thanks for sharing! That helps me to make my project become real :D

[@dlcknives_and_leather]

nicely done its a good knife

[@anuragrane3158]

Hi Walter, could you please do a couple of tutorial videos on making scabbards for knives and making serrated edges?

[@harryesteves387]

Dude............well.......ure awesome!!!!

[@8vbo130]

хорошие видео. Молодец мужик. Успехов тебе.

[@pabloolivero2783]

you help me a lot, thanks

[@charlessaldat8140]

GREETINGS FROM MEXICO

[@0770490]

Thx. your video's are good. I just started making knifes grtz from Holland

[@thetopicala]

Great!

[@XThekiwiKidX]

Should I put a double or single bevel on my knife? and what are the advantages of each?

[@Biblicalgiants]

..That's an awesome knife!Nice hand made flat grind on that too!I have to try this sometime!Walter, do you sell your knives?If so how do you sell them?And do you recommend selling at gun shows?Thanks for the excellent videos!

[@madwilliamflint]

Nice! Thanks for posting these. I'm really interested in stock removal double edge blades. But getting the bevel match line straight just seems like black magic to me. Do you have (or know of) any videos kicking around that deal with that? Even if it's just grinder jigs and such.

[@beelzebub6802]

Hey man, really really cool series! I learned alot! How long was your finisched edge at the end?

[@HermanHiebert]

Was there no heat treatment to harden the file again?

[@arcangelocosentino2384]

BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ciao

[@cmendez419]

wow nice I am , interested in knife making and will be starting on one soon, good vids nice reference videos better than other ones good work

[@ryderburge5939]

You should have use two pins because the chisel fit up has one flat side so if the glue breaks lice it will spin around so two or three pins would do better

[@BradleyGao]

Does any oil work for the finish? (Vegetable oil, peanut oil,olive oil)

[@mikekimball121]

Hey Walter what is the blade length and the handle length??

[@the_all_around_guy547]

can you put a finish on micarta? If yes what finish would you or I use? thanks!!

[@gunshooter26]

man.. that is cool.

[@Screamingtut]

thanks very informative I enjoyed watching all of them. how long did it take you beginning to end?

[@WalterSorrellsBlades]

Hard to say because I don't work on these video project knives 9-to-5. But probably three days?

[@lolznvm]

Walter Sorrells show some videos how to make a japanese yanagiba knife on your version

[@armancho76]

you know i recently saw this knife thats was used by Whalers in 18th or 19th century its a folder.... I would like to know if its possible to make that same design of a knife in a fixed blade version preferably full tang ... its got several different names "Elephant's toe nail" "rope knife" "whaler's knife " very interesting knife i have not seen that design in any of poplar knifemakers editions so it would be a rare knife considering its original was a folder ...thank you in advance ...

[@global1503]

where do you get a birch seed

[@gorancvijovic2635]

cool

[@jasonjohnson6938]

would ya show us how to make a sheath for it

[@jasonjohnson6938]

i made one like it and i wanna make something like a saya for it will you show us in detail how to do this and if it's possible without a retaining collar

[@tylerhall2651]

Hi I like the video when are you going to be making a new video

[@KosukiFire]

How much do you charge to make a knife?

[@electman8341]

so what could you apply to the metal to keep it from rusting?

[@WalterSorrellsBlades]

+jeremy birch Firearms finishes like Cerakote are one option. But as long as you keep it oiled, it won't rust.

[@scottbessey990]

Tons of oils available. Just keep in mind that if you also use it to cut food (maybe while camping) use something like a mineral oil.

[@LanternOfLight7]

how do you make a serrated edge on a knife? i want to make a bush knife with some serration

[@tylerharvey8671]

+J.L. Cantrell I'd just use a round file for serrations.

[@LanternOfLight7]

Okay thanks, i did a little research and seen some were using dremel tools to cut into the blade but i like the idea of using like a rat tail or needle file for 45 degree angle cuts into the blade

[@ryderburge5939]

J.L. Cantrell you can use a triangle file then make them round and scalloped with a round file

[@ryanrodrigues5355]

Thumbs up for the big slice of tomato he ate at the end 😂

[@louismuss5856]

still worried about bevel in were to draw the line

[@tomeskew6080]

I would not eat those tomatoes.

[@trammellhunter]

Your voice reminds me of R. Lee Ermey

[@GrandpaBill]

Do you ever go into all the trouble of "Stabilizing" the wood? Like with a vac chamber and Cactus Juice/Linseed oil/ and others; then baking it. OH! That one would make a great neck knife!

[@brandonrobinson3687]

[@lucassassi]

"smooth as a baby's ass" hahahahah I love this guy

[@frmacleod]

Great explanations. I do worry I have no way to heat the knife to 1500. I don't have a charcoal grill. Oh well.

[@coen8323]

frmacleod the ground is sufficient enough

[@OhmanzzGaming]

smooth as a babys as XD

[@showtaito1075]

LOL

[@MrAndrewmcgibbon]

Nice work on the video, The only thing I would add is peening the brass pin

[@RanchoFan]

Yum, arm hair tomatoes

[@puryeareaker7975]

I'm sure you will find amazing woodworking plans on Stodoys.

[@radicalrob2103]

haha 😊 tang hole 🔨🔪

[@SpunkyGrubber]

Who else thinks he looks like bruce willis?

[@eza4you]

i bet the tomato has WD40 taste.. hehe..

[@jackburns1793]

Or buy a knife for half the price & time

[@tuttuti123]

People want experience in making knife. Not experience in buying them.

[@turboryan]

Creativity is intelligence having fun. - Albert Einstein

[@Shiesty6969]

To me the knife looks unattractive. I feel like the handle is too long.

[@coen8323]

Ditto its not about attractiveness it's about a functional knife

[@Shiesty6969]

Mr Cow I know. I just feel that the long handle doesn't do anything except make it appear ugly.

[@coen8323]

Ditto maybe he has Big hands

[@Shiesty6969]

Mr Cow true

[@ryderburge5939]

It might just look like that in the video because the blade was 3 inches long so the handle has to be long enough for a grown mans hands
