Do you know what angle you set the jig to get the bevel that high? I did it on accident when I bought my jig.

Beautiful knife! Will it rust easy?

Only push forward with file

I am wanting to start knife making and this video was so handy!

What grit, what grit?

Beautiful! PS I like your boxers collection 😊

Awesome knife

I just want to provide a bit of clarification here; 7075 aluminum (which is what the knife-holding clips are made of) has a Rockwell hardness of around 54, which is well below the hardness of any steel used in knife blades. This fact alone means using tape on the knife to prevent scratching is totally unnecessary. Having said that though, tape may help to keep the knife stable in the clamps during sharpening, especially if not enough initial clamping pressure is applied.

Amazing work i love the tanto style. i tried opening your pagevon Instagram but wouldnt work.

You're probably the finest teacher I've seen on here

Why do you need scale liners?

You are a really great teacher, excellent explanations!!!

Such detail in the file work , glad for the education!!

@Wengelsworkshop, how much for one of these knives? i really want one and I would to like buy my friends in it.

Great video. Do you have a link for the 2x72?

really cool

hi just watched ep 1 one beginners knife making video what is the angle required for apex of blade ? Tom.

Looks very similar to a Bark River Aurora. Just wondering why you didn’t make it a full tang knife since you had a big enough file to begin with. Lovely looking knife though and nicely made.

You cut out the template didn’t show it

Some great tips.

How was the paint finish compared to spray paint? No problem not using a primer?

Bravo uno che mola la bisellatura a mano senza jig

Good job, you gave your Grandad's file a new life. Thanks for sharing and giving some valuable tips and for being open about your mistakes, it makes the rest of us that are also not perfect feel better and more hopeful for our own projects 😉. Don't worry about the structural integrity of the handle, it will hold up perfectly. Thank you.

On this occasion you , unfortunately, chose the wrong file type! The file you have used ...a rasp...is case hardened and the core steel is not good knife steel. As a general rule files that are made to work on soft materials do not make good knives...files for working on hard materials do...just go through the annealing process and it will be fine. Dr Larrin Thomas of Kinfe Steel Nerdschannel goes into a great deal more detail about file steels on a recent video ....its a great watch...hope this helps!!

The restoration of the bench is awesome. You did a fantastic job!

Nice work! Suggest you try non-carbide tooth blade. It will be a header steel, I believe.

Where could I get that template?

Is there a place I can get this same template I really like it

I’ve really been wanting to get into bladesmithing… like REALLY bad. Been looking at belt grinders and kilns but you’ve given me a little motivation to try it with cheap tools first. If I love that long enduring process I’m bound to stick with the craft with the proper tools! Only thing I’ve ever liked about my chef job was using the knives… so thinking I’d enjoy my life a lot more if I could just make a living creating my beloved knives 😂

Excellent video! Love the look and finish you've done.

Red Beard and Royer are no novice knifemakers. They are pros with loads of fancy equipment.

Knife and sheath both turned out hella dope @Wengelsworkshop.

Is there a second part to this video?

Nice job. What’s the distance in mm from the edge of your table to the table saw and what comfortable indeed cut length is achievable?

really nice work! thank you for inspiration, I was thinking about using a file as material so I was happy when I saw this video )))

I did the same last week... And that is my first cutting board... first I thought it is my board on CZcams 😀😀

I don't use anything but a hammer and a forge then I use a hand file to clean it and sharpen it

Well done. This was my first visit. You do a very nice job on your video and I appreciate your mistakes too. We all make them and learn from them. I learned from yours, hopefully 😊 Thanks

Man that’s a bad ass knife… You’re just being OCD about the pin…😂 It looks awesome!

Luwar biyasa❤

U talk too much less work more on talking nonsense. Thats why u made a mistake

That is the best looking field all-purpose knife I have seen. Very well done.

Yeah Buddy! Right up there with Izzy Swan's dream-build a few months ago; this is simple perfection. Thank you. I accidentally glued 3/4 MDF to my old door slab, on the centerline on my concrete floor...where it pitches down each side. Now I have a 3/16 hump in my table, why didn't I throw a level on it?!

I’m in the process of making my first ulu knife and your video gave me more confidence in the build

Your stropping media is not good. Its particle size is all over the place as it breaks down quickly. Use diamond spray 1-3 microns. Strop lightly until smooth lines on the strop.

Just the dagger nice work.

next time grind the scales to the shape of the knife tang before glue up leaving about 3/8 of matieral so you can finish by sanding it down

That was a great knife. And this video was awsome. Ive been wanting to make myself ah knife. And this video showed me i dont need ah whole blacksmiths setup ta do so. Lol. Thank you.

When you use the flush cut router bit, do you adjust the bit height for the handle material thickness or does that matter? Nice work and knife
