Kyle Fisher Not “every dad ever” has a drill press, hacksaw blades for metal, a dremel, and especially not a budding wheel and a forge. Most of those items aren’t common unless the dad in question is a craftsman or does a lot of home repairs/ construction
@@hicksteryt6617 I understand what you are saying. The point is basic tools does not mean tools that everyone has, it means that this is the simplest version of the tool in question, your dad may or may not have them, no one is saying that these are mandotory tools or most commonly found tools but if he has tools for crafting/repairing , this is the most basic set you can have . Thus the title "using basic tools".
The only thing that isn't basic is a furnace, and with some home Depot supplies, you can make one in an hour. Most of those things are toys for 60% of dads. If you don't, that sucks, but what are you expecting to make a knife from scratch from if you don't have at least basic tools??
You mentioned your a bladesmith as well. Im new to blade smithing im a master union sheet metal worker just now after many years getting into blade smithing. I have experience with stock removal knife making similare to this not as nice yet but im focusing my education currently towards heat treat thermal cycling. I asked the channel maker this question and wanted to ask you as well see who answers first just so i can learn i have a project im working on. When he went for the heat treat in this video from what i have learned so fare to me it apeared almost welding temperature. And was told a quench that hot can cause micro fractures throughout the blade. Especially dealing with higher carbon steel. In your opinion what is a good temp to quench and do you thermal cycle before the quench. And what should it look like. I always go until its no longer magnetic than i quench. I also use transmision fluid and or canola oil. Any suggestions or input welcome. This guy made a beautiful blade with basic tools and a nice file jig.
@@joshofalltradesgendron5464 My approach is not very scientific, I heat the blade about as hot as my homemade heat-treat forge can, then quench in oil, then put it in the oven for a few hours at 400 up and down twice. I mainly make knives from big, used circular saw blades. I usually test a few small pieces of a blade before I make a bunch of knives out of it by heat treating the way I normally do, then performing a few tests to make sure it'll get hard, but not too brittle, and hold an edge.
Thank you thats basically all i do as well also wrenches chisles and files. I heat my blade until i see the nice coloration and check with magnet once its not magnetic than i take it out and quench. Ive had a few early attempts where my blades where as Orange in this video and blasted fireballs in the quench and each of those blades failed in stress test though had excelent file skate. I later learned that quenching at welding temp or near welding temp can cause severe stress fractures after i asked this question to you. I spoke with a local 40 year bladesmith blacksmith and informed me on what i did wrong. Thank you for taking time to help educate me. I really want this hobby to take off for me.

@@livier3970 Dude, a "forge" can be just an anvil, a source of intense heat, hammers, tongs and files. All of that combined is still more basic than a belt grinder.
I love how ppl are so ignorant. SIMPLE knife making tools!! Either way you did an amazing job. I just found you channel and look forward to watching more
I liked the video and the editing was good, but you should put a tool and material list in the description for people who will obviously want to recreate the knife. Thanks
Random piece of mild steel, anneal before starting to shape blade. Angle grinder. Metal file. Drill. Fire, pref a forge but campfire is also doable. Various sandpapers. Old oil for tempering, fresh oil for polishing up and treating the wood. Hammer to peen the pins on the handle, And a sharpening stone if you can't sharpen it enough with the sandpaper.
Awesome video man! I absolutely love your channel. I really respect the level of quality you are able to achieve. Those crisp grind lines are something to envy!
4:12 That moment when, “Maybe I should use gloves when I do this stuff” finally registers. Beautiful work, though. Videos like these make me want to learn to create things with my hands.
Great build,you might consider taking the base off of your bench grinder used for the last step sharping,and turning it around so you switch will still face you and the wheels will turn the other direction! Much easier to sharpen with edge facing up
I like this knife!It was made with basic tools,regardless of the critical comments.Very good video,and basic tools doesn't necessarily mean stone age tools.I'm sure I'd mess up a good many pieces of bar stock before getting it close to this nice. He's got skill.
Wow !! Really- WOW ! That was some wicked foreplay and then a beautiful climax with the grand finale finish . I won’t begin to Understand how there are 260 some thumbs downs on this !?!? Really ??? What is wrong with this world !?!? Well Done !!!!!
Thank you for this video. I'm just starting out and this made me a 1000 times more comfortable getting into this. I have pretty much the same forge you have mine is just square. I just need to buy a few things and I'll have all the tools you have. I haven't checked the video description box yet but do you have a tool list?? Thanks in advance if you do.
@@Mrflymess I said mostly but a grinder and a dremel are power tools that you hold in your hand so my statement holds true. Anyway I'm just paying the guy a compliment on a nice job, why knock him?
Amazing ! Such a marvelous knife , didatic , simple , with a beautiful light . One of the best videos I have seen on knife making . Congratulations from Brazil .
How i made a knife with basic tools: Coal forge made of fire briks and a hair dryer A "anvil"(a piece of metal that I bought on an junkyard) Hammer A chisel to cut the metal Vise Recycled metal for the blade Square and round file 2L of canola oil to hardening(the tempering as made holding the blade above the fire for a few minutes) Sandpaper and sharpening stone Recycled wood or leather Pins on the handle it all cost me 100 reais/ less than 50 bucks Sorry my bad english, i'm brazilian
Nice job, but those aren't basic tools especially a forge. For what it would cost me to buy all those tools, I be better off just buying a nice blade, a very nice blade.
Que buen trabajo! FELICITACIONES, los amantes de los cuchillos celebramos viendo las técnicas y el nivel de detalle que siempre se busca en la perfección y armonia entre la empuñadura y la hoja.
Reiner mit ei, bidde! Not so! Only 9:18 (length of video) cuz of his wicked-fast filework. (Massive fast-twitch muscle fibres!) Still, I would offer him maybe $150-175...
Well, I don't know about the numbers placed on Steel. Back 40 years ago will you lose anything from horseshoes to an old buggy axle. Now I'll tell you an old buggy axle and I do mean old, you can Hammer some good tools out of them thangs. Also, railroad spikes if they're heated up and fold it over like we did the horseshoes several times they can be beat into some good metal. Then again we had no other place to get metal
The furnace is rather expensive and not really a basic tool. Was the steel stainless or high carbon? Love the design of the knife and the video. Good job!
The only “basic” tool in my house was a black marker. And I’m not sure if it can write or not.
Kaan Kaya Lol
Basic tools my ducking ass
I don’t even have a marker
@@escofortnitegamer309 I dont even have a penis
Bana Bino lmao
You're gonna need:
- Paper.
- Marker.
- Lime tool.
- a Blacksmith's workshop.
Namaste.
That is true but look at it as a investment. If you buy quality tools they will last longer than you will if you take care of them believe me.
Or just heat it up with a blowtorch, or do the even cheaper (but less reliable) option and use a campfire.
From my own experience, what he's doing is as basic as it gets for knife making. It's hardly a shop. I say, GREAT JOB AV make!!! Keep it up.
You could technically do it yourself using some coal
“Basic tools” here is like the blacksmith version of when a Minecraft youtuber say they did a little mining off camera
Haha yeah but to be fair those are basic tools for a rural home, you probably live in a big city?
those are tools that literally every dad ever has. plus, what were you expecting? him to make it out of a cereal box?

Now to sharpen it..
Oh dear god no

@@seskipper806What is that file pole thing he uses to make the bevel, and how does it work
Dude basic tools are a Hammer and a screw not a forge, still nice video

Forge is a basic tool. But I don’t think angle grinders and dremels are
Now I want to see someone make a knife using only a hammer and a screw :(
Can't harden a blade without a forge Dingus, you could use a coal forge though.

How i made a knife with basic tools:
Coal forge made of fire briks and a hair dryer
A "anvil"(a piece of metal that I bought on an junkyard)

Vise
Recycled metal for the blade
Square and round file
2L of canola oil to hardening(the tempering as made holding the blade above the fire for a few minutes)
Sandpaper and sharpening stone
Recycled wood or leather
Pins on the handle

You can make a “forge” with a couple bucks.
Gas bottle/hose and a few breezeblocks (Cinderblocks for Americans)
Could probably get all these tools at harbor Freight for around 100-150 total
@@OldNavajoTricks Not concrete cinderblocks, right? Only if u want a granade though, then u can use concrete in a forge.
The tool investment would actually be a better and more long term investment that could possibly pay out over and over again for you.

What is the best steel to use for beginners and where do you get the designs
Those are my designs,if you are beginner you want high carbon steels like O1,1095,1084,80crV2 they are pretty simple to harden and temper.
