FREE Guard Tutorial: Hidden Tang Knife Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2023
- This is an in depth look at my process for fitting simple guards or bolsters on hidden tang blades.
My goal is a high level of fit and finish in a practical setting. By that I mean I need to complete the project in a reasonable amount of time, with accessible tools.
Like most of you, I don't have a milling machine in my shop, so the fitting process must be possible with basic tools. The most expensive tools I use are a belt grinder and drill press, something that can be obtained fairly inexpensively, but a hand drill can be used if care is taken.
DISCLAIMER: Using equipment and tools and building knives can be dangerous. Proceed with caution, at your own risk.

I know that these long form informational videos don't make us a bunch of that Viral Video money. But, it's nice to see other guys on here doing them. Great video man.
Thanks man
I really enjoy this longer, detailed video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your process; this should become known as the "one-stop-shop" video for fitting guards, as you covered pretty much everything anyone making hidden tang knives needs to know on the subject. I especially appreciate your side note on choosing the right brass, it does make a difference!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Solid!
Thanks man!
Great pace to the video and great information.
Another trick for filing the guard is to clamp it in your file guide. That way you know you're square and flat.
Thanks for letting us see your progress on fitment of your guard and tang very good video and information

Much appreciated! I've been messing around with knife making fir a year now, wish I'd seen this video a year ago! Very straight forward and easy to follow.

Very good video on guard fit up with minimal tools. Thanks! Also do you ever do hot fit ups? If so can we expect a video at some point?
Extremely helpful and informative video!!
I love the precision fancy ghetto pipe. It’s fire,( no pun intended)🤗😁🤗
Thank you for the education
You can get an XY axis vise fairly cheaply . Harbor freight has one. But you need to do a bit of refining to get it to run tightly

Have you seen a Kydex sheath made for a knife with a single guard?
Yes I believe so
What width and thickness of the brass stock you used?
I believe this was 3/16"x1"
