2 things. 1st, clamp thin metal. I was just thinking when I saw you drill, man if that thing catches, then BAMM. Safety first.
2nd, and I'm not sure if you are aware of this and I hope others find it helpful. When drilling hardend steel, your gonna burn up bits. There is a very easy an effective method. It's called spot annealing. Simply put, take something hard, I use an old pushrod from a car. Put it in the chuck of your drill press, turn the rpms up to the max. Mark the spots where you want your holes. Bring the spinning pushrod, or bad drill bit or whatever you have down onto the spot with pressure. You will see the steel start to turn colors. Once it makes that tell tale purplish ring, the area has been annealed and can be drilled quite easily with the cheapest bits. This will only anneale a very small area.
Thank you for your suggestions!
Man, that's cool. Thanks for your input. That is some good information.
This is ingenious. Thank you
He should have started with a small bit and worked up from there. Always clamp. I had this happen one time too many.
Cool tip!
Always position the thing you want to drill on the left side of you. That way it will run into the drill post and not your hand first!
I found that if you are using previous blades to make your own blade it helps to heat treat the places where you are going to drill your rivet holes. A nice cherry red & then allow to cool. This helps to soften up the handle area and hence it is easier to drill.
Thanks for the info!
Nice simple way to get r dun. Like that you added the self fileting, shows you have a sense of humor, thanx.
Thanks!
I was wonder if you can make a good fillet knife from a hand saw. Thank you for the video.
Your welcome! Good luck on your project!
Great man , Having the right tools and 60% of the job is done , just great man .
Thanks Trevor!
I'm glad you like it!
Cracking knife,must have a look for old saws.thanks for that
I'm glad I inspired you!
good and attractive product manufactured with proper engineering technique .
Thank you! :)
That a great idea, making a filet knife of a saw blade, great video....
Thank you!
Beautiful workmanship!
Thank you!
Very cool. I love seeing people invest their time and creativity into a handmade tool :) Great job :)
Thanks!
Really good filleting knife. Really sharp and good grip.
Good show
Always wear safety equipment
a very well made filleting knife,and you have lot's of material left from that saw to make many more,gets my thumbs up without a doubt
Thank you!
I was advised by an old time served engineer to use cold water when drilling spring steel. i used to build double axle trailers and used cut down leaf springs for the suspension. Drilling the centre bolt was tricky until told about the cold water coolant!
Thanks for the advice! Will use it in the future.
Great video and good build. I was planing on making my own filet knife from an old sawzall blade and watching your video has inspired me to quit putting it off and make it happen. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Why a sawzaw blade?
Lovely. I watch a lot of 'restore' vids on YT though, and was thinking that the old saw still had life in her, with some TLC.
A good fillet knife is wonderful though. Nice job. I'd be very happy to take that fishing/camping.
What a marvelous instruments!!!
Fine art, love knives
Thank you!
looking forward to seeing ur next project
I'm gonna be busy this week, but gonna start new project next week for sure!!
Hello! Nice knife i have one piece of advise. Hardend steel is very difficult to drill and before I learned how to do it I burned up several drill bits. I searched youtube and learned this trick. Next time you need to driil get a pan of water and suspend the blade part under water to keep it cool then use a torch to heat up the spots you need to drill. Heat the spots to a glowing red and set aside to cool. This will take the temper out in those areas and make it much easier to drill whole the blade part will retain it's hardness.
chefsterman
Very good advice! Will definitely use it next time. Thanks a lot!
LA OTRA ES BAJAR LA VELOCIDAD DE LA MÁQUINA PARA QUE NO CALIENTE TANTO Y NO QUEME LA MECHA..!!
Kiitos mahtavasta videosta. 👍
Kiitos katsomisesta!
There is a lot of trust given to the man with the hammer...
Hey bloke I have learned a lot from you and am going to make my own videos soon starting with my 2X72 belt grinder
I think that if you talked and explained what you are doing you would get a lot more likes
I'm glad you like my content!
I do talk a lot in my new videos, check out my fresh uploads
Very good! Thank you.
I'm glad you like it!
Excellent
very nice..
thanks!
Very nice build. I like how you recycled that saw and made it into a knife. Really cool.
Matt Thank you!
Very nice job! I was thinking as you were initially drilling it in the drill press: I hope the bit doest catch and swing the blade around. And then it did! Haha, glad it wasn't a bad cut!
Wound was healing for 2 weeks actually, it was always moving, so took some time. Now I know what C clamp for! Hahaha
amazing wonderful
setu paing
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Wasn't sure if you beveled both sides, the speed was hard to follow, but not boring. The reason I inquire is that fillet knives are beveled on one side only.
Thank you for your comment!
I did put a bevelle on both sides, because all the fillet knives I had before (manufactured) were done that way. But I've seen one fillet 🔪 bevelled from one side only, Japanese one. Although it wasn't flexible like mine and quite thick, 1/4" approximately.
Awesome beautiful knife.
Thanks TJ!
Supper
Nice!
Thanks!
Awesome..good idea.
Beutifull job can't wait to see if I can make one
how to filet yourself with a knife using a drill press? (no clamps are needed)
I like that end grain board, thats really neat
Hahaha, ya almost fillet my hand LOL.
Thank you, I love that board too, this is my DIY as well, maple and oak.
Attila Szabo yeah, safety first, he will need a lot of good luck for next videos... :)
You need to cover the blade, during drilling, and shaping of the handle. Seriously.
Too funny, good one.
Very nice I will try to manufacture like him
Super, super fain
Nice
Very nice, and great idea!
Went to the DUMP today and found a similar saw....gonna make me a similar knife.
Great! Have fun dude!
I like the fact you took something you were not using and made something you could,blade has the flex to fillet fish and if its sharp enough will be fine. I would have used smaller pieces of brass tube to hold it together and made a sheath out of a old belt ??
Thanks, William!
I used what I had for pins, no doubt brass would look way better!
I did make a sheath for this knife from a suitcase

@@Take_And_Make Good job and passtime. Beats just sitting around watching tv and drinking beer.
slick. Good Job
thanks!
Watch a video how I made a sheath for this Knife from an old Suitcase!

Nice build, but I cringed to see you cut up such a good old saw blade. Regardless of how many saws you had, that one could have been saved for posterity.
Wooden ship building saw blade with handle
I like the easy way some people's like to make every thing completed not every one had all the tools
None of those tools are mine. I went to DIY shop and bought membership to use their tools.
Great idea I'm going to make one myself thanks for the video👍
Thank you!
Very nice.... you have the shop and the quipment also.... Cheers
I wish that shop and tools were mine... I paid tou use it
Understood... Still, it is a good thing to ha access to resourses... Cheers
You should check my other projects, restorations and some other stuuf I did in my appartment with very limited tools.
nice design
I love it!!!!
Thank you!
perfect that is awsome
Thanks!
Very good video everything looks very good I also want to make my knife to prepare tacos my question is it has to be forged ??? because I see in other Videos that they heat the material and put oil to forge it in the hand saw n
Thank you!
You can get away without forging if you not gonna overheat your cutting edge when grinding. Go slow and cool down your piece in water frequent. You may also wanna watch this video too
czcams.com/video/I5FIDpNrqGc/video.html
Thank you very much, really, it has saved me always wanted to be a knife but I have no way to forge it has saved me thanks for the answ
That handsaw is in better starting condition than the one I just restored.... couldn't you have used a modern junk one!?
you can soft the handle part by putting the blade part in water and torching the holes areas, so drilling is way more easy and less dangerous
Thank you Fabio, I will keep it in mind for my next knife build. Drilling as it is was a real struggle yes.
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks!
For those who smash dislike button, nothing against you guys, people have different tastes, but if someone dislike it because I did something wrong in the process, please let me know what would you do different. Because I am learning and this was my first knife. So don't be shy and drop a comment! Thanks!
Fish Tail TV grab a few carbide bits. It'll cut the steel and not ruin your HSS bits. Always use a clamp, either to hold stock or bump against it so it doesn't do what it did. Cool knife also, just refine your methods a little for safe production. Cheers sir!
Thanks for the advice Scott!
Lesson was learned the hard way! LOL
You have inspired me. I do have an old saw at home and you got me thinking that i should try this, Thank you for sharing your talent. Knife looks good. Great job.
Thank you Johnny!
I'm glad you got some inspiration while watching my video. Go ahead and build it now, you'll have a lot of fun!
Hey fish tails im not going to give advise on making a knife. you have more experience than i do. But always remember that if you do something there is always someone going to hate,bitch,complain,and /or talk down your creation so "f" them. keep doing what your doing. Thats an awesome knife and great video. Many thanks to you and your talent. You earned a subsciber.
Nice good job
Thank you!
Outstanding Knife Video! Thanks so much!!
Thank You!
Excelente trabajo
Gracias!
very nice project ....I think one Improvement could have been to leave a little bit of Sawtooth on the back Edge for bones and such
Thank you from indonesia
carbon steel blades are far better than stainless well done pal be making one myself
great job weldone!
greetings from Holland.
Thank you!
Thanks for the vid. I made a beautiful fillet knife out of an old hand saw blade a couple of years ago. I could not get the blade to harden enough to hold an edge. It looks great, but is worthless for filleting fish. I'm sure the steel just didn't contain enough carbon.
nice job.
Thanks!
Really nice knife.
Thank you!
best of the best...bro!
Thanks!
!Hypnotic music. I was already sleepy - just dropped.
Normalize before drilling. Great looking blade.
Thanks 👍
Will do!
Dud, u hv gud craftsmanship.
Nice job
great video
I'm glad you like it!
i like it
Awesome...
Next time put your razor edge on last, safer to work with. Also, slow that drill bit down. Drill metal much slower than wood. Shouldn't need oil that thin too.
а то задействовал для изготовления ножичка всю МОЩЬ сша..!!!!!!))))))
Ха ха ха!
Ну, во-первых мощь Канады, раз уж на то пошло. А во-вторых, был легкий доступ к той мастерской со всеми этими инструментами, почему бы не поработать в удовольствие?
А "пострадать" с одной болгаркой я и дома смогу.
I enjoyed the video but I was surprised when you went through the effort of making a knife by hand to end up using a pull-through carbide sharpener at the end. I know sharpening is a bit of a different skill set than machining and woodwork, but id argue that sharpening is easier because of tool cost.
ima gonna do this, thanks. I done subscribed. Once again thanks.
Thanks!
Go ahead! You'll love it!
Love it! Very nice video
Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🔪🔪🔪kelimelere gerek yok...
HARİKASINIZ....👍
Nice Jobb
Thanx!
Love it..
I have made a few of these and ruined a drill bit or two drilling through the tang. You can apply heat to the site of the tang holes until you get to a blue-purple color using a propane torch which softens the tang enough to drill through easily without compromising the hardness of the cutting blade.
Now, you have to do a catch, clean, and cook video where you use the knife!
All done!

nice work
Thanks!
beautiful :)
Thank you!
Thanks for the Demo. I thought you dd a good job. As far as softing the metal to drill the holes, it would be much easier to buy some cobalt drills. Harbor Freight sells them cheep. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Sue! I will check it out
Stay away from harbor freight bits. i bought 10 or so once just thinking "hey they'll dull but they're cheap." but i broke 3 of them in under 5 minutes and threw the rest away. just my experience with them.
Good job nice flexible knife should work great
It is working great, here is the video of me testing it czcams.com/video/HfhchELIpx8/video.html&t
Im going to try this. Have you used it to filet a fish yet and also how does it hold an edge? Cool video
Go ahead, yes I did clean a fish with it, look on my channel
My god you were so lucky there ,clamp down .We don't want to lose you .
Hahaha!
Lesson learned the hard way! I'll be more careful now.
Very Nice, I might give it a go myself. I can't seem to find a nice fillet tat I'm willing to pay for and this will give me a good project.
Well done I like your knife.
Thanks Paul!
Yeah, give it try, you'll love it!
Nice,well done !
Thank you!
I want to see some more vedios
Well done man it is very nice nife.
Thanks!
I am sure you are an excellent fisherman...
Yeah I know a bit in fishing, you can check my other videos and see how I do it.
Hi good job
Thanks, Rob!
the last place this guy should be is around tools and giving building tips
Muito bom ! Excelent
How do you come up with such smart ideas! Helps when you have access to all the cool tools as well. Really like the knife, well done!
I used to have access to that shop, it wasn't mine.
Most of my projects I did in my apartment with very limited tools
Take And Make yeah I noticed you have some videos in a shop and some very basic with hand tools. Respect to be able to do it at home.
