I am passionate about Knife Making as a hobby, and I invite you to follow and learn about the processes involved in manufacturing hand-made knives. My goal with this channel is to teach and learn as we dig deeper into this journey of craftsmanship, as I remember how I watched CZcams video after video in order to learn as much as I could. Over the last 5 years I refined my techniques, kept what worked, and discarded that which did not...and now I can share it with you. The tools I use is by no means fancy, my belt grinder being the biggest piece of equipment I own, which means that you can jump in and make your own knives with basic tools found at any hardware store. I did after all, start with using only hand files and a charcoal forge.

Thanks for the video. I started watching about 3 weeks ago and now I've made 5 knives with basic tools including an angle grinder. I'm eyeing a belt sander now.
Well done! 5 knives in 3 weeks...thats an impressive count. Glad to help!
it's a satanite?
I served in the Iranian army for two years and I had this dagger on my G3 rifle, I remember it well
I love the sound intro 👍
When quenching if you dunk in an up and down motion it will help keep the blade from warping. Great video, it's nice to see someone using hand tools :)
Do you have a video on your channel on your file guide setup your using?
@@gaylecoombs5510 no i dont unfortunatly, but drop me a mail at zeemanknives@gmail.com and ill send you pics
@@zeemanknives thank you
tendria que estar en español x que me gustaria entender que esplica ya que pienzo que es muy importante gracias
This is probably one of the best knife making video I've watched so far 👍🏻
Do you have a video or dimensions for your filing jig?
Send me a mail at zeemanknives@gmail.com and I can send you pictures.
How wide is the blade?
26mm wide.
Very nice.
Beautiful work. Thank you
Lekker vid boet baie dankie😊
very good
Love the craftsmanship,love from 🇵🇰
Very informative for anyone who wants to try making a knife without buying equipment.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Well done Henk. This is a very thorough tutorial and awesome video as usual.
Plain is beautiful. The handle, the other work is nice art, thank you. I never thought of using a fuller on a cleaver, but it makes perfectly sense. I am taking that idea with me. Thank you for sharing your know how.😃
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. Yes the fuller grind is known as a "S-grind". It is common on Chef knives and helps with food release on big blades.
Sou fã do seu trabalho! O senhor é referência para mim na cutelaria! Parabéns!
Obrigado, significa muito para mim!
Beautiful knife! Thanks for this Video!
Excellent video. Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you for this.
Why it was not required vacum process?
The steel plates are clamped down tight enough to compress the fabric and squeeze out all the air.
Великолепная работа!
Moer mooi. Awesome stuff
Baie dankie Grant!
Great video, makes me actually want to try this. Thanks
you lost me at stock removal, gone at 1:20.
I'm sorry the video did not meet your expectations. Question for you...do you consider an anvil being part of the "common tools" category?
@@zeemanknives For someone making knives? Yes. Funny, I didn't see the term "common tools" in the title. No hard feelings, I wish you the best, but my interest is in hand forged knives. Good luck with your channel, I hope you do well.
No hard feelings at all. Check the main title image...says there knife making using common tools. Also i never mentioned 'forging' in my video title. But thats all technicalities. Keep well and all the best to you.
awesome
Thanks for watching!
You’re quite talented. Thanks for sharing such a timeless practice of craftsmanship.
Thenk you for the conpliment. It is only my pleasure to share it with you.

Cool video I could totally do some small knives that way
Yes, this process works well with small knives.
Damn fine looking blade.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Terrific video
Thank you. Glad you like it!
just out of curiosity what is the totak amount of time put into this ???? where did you get your metal . do work 'haeder' blade steel ?? and longer ??? a beauy of a true " hand " made knife !!!!❤
Its hard to keep track of the exact amount of time that I put into a knife, as I work on it over several days...but depending on the size of the knife it can be anywhere from 20 to 40 hours total time. I buy my steel from a local supplier in South Africa, @zeesknifesupplies. I always work with soft unhardened steel, and heat treat it to harden it. If you work with hand files then its difficult to work with hardened steel.
did you use insulating firebrick too build the furnace looks like grade aa would be best
As a veteran, I was even moved by your music selection. My grandfather fought in World War I in World War II and some in the Korean War and I do appreciate your honoring of our veterans and a beautifully made knife which I’d love to own and I’m an inspiring knife maker trying to teach my grandson how to do it which he loves forged in fire of course the TV show.
Thank you. I love hearing comments like this. So glad you are teaching the new generation the art of knivemaking. Im sure the memories will be cherished for a lifetime. My grandfather was also a World War 2 veteran on the Dutch side. I have great respect and admiration for all veterans. Keep well! (Glad you enjoyed the music!)
Do you sell these? Amazing job.
Thank you. I usually make to order.
Baie mooi mes. Ek hou van die tamboti hout. My oupa het meubels van tamboti gemaak. Ek kan nog onthou hoe het sy sitkamerstel geruik.
It was a very good job showing all the steps nice design must say well done 👍
Thank you for watching. Glad you found it usefull!
