    I make bevel before heating. Don't like to work with hard steel

    • @DieselRamcharger
      @DieselRamcharger Před 10 lety +11

      Ondrej Sabol it matters, hard steel throws fish hooks. its a real bitch, and still slower than grinding soft steel with the same belt. i hate picking those fuckers out of my socks.

      I don't have a belt grinder, but I do have a angel grinder and a stationary grinding wheel (that is roughly 5-6 in or 12-15.5 cm). How should I go about making a bevel?

      Tcamp I have tried and tried brother. He doesn't really make knives for a living, just shares knowledge. He has a love for the art of crafting metal into purpose, like so many of our ancestors did. I have begun building my own little shop to make knives for myself in this same tradition (High carbon steel and only wood, antler or bone for handles). I know where he is coming from because I love to shape and form beautiful things from chunks of hard, cold inanimate objects. It really makes you feel alive once you get into it. Just imagine if his line of knives blew up and became mainstream. He would become another sell-out like Ken Onion or Gil Hibben (who had a shop 20 mins. from my house). This guy does it for the love of the art, not for fame or fortune. That is why I am proud to watch and learn and try my hand at my own unique style of knife making.

    @joshmurray3619 Před 4 lety +6

    I've seen so many complicated jig builds out of stock steel, aluminum and the like. I made one out of aluminum angle and it worked okay, but this build was by far the best. The stable support of the block of wood made all the difference and took out a ton of possible things that could go wrong. Great vid!

    • @artug92
      @artug92 Před 4 lety

I have a shedload of gear ice put together for making Damascus and knives and I stalled completely because I was having troubles getting blades bevelled and I think you just solved that for me.

    Trollsky, two things: #1. Your videos are great. Thank you for making them, and I enjoy them very much. #2. Keep pronouncing the word "grind" as "greend", not "grynd". It is wrong, but it sounds better.

      I always appreciate when people who don't speak English as their first language will speak English for my benefit. I enjoy the idiosyncrasies of the accents, too.
      Another point, I watched a few other knife grinding videos and wondered by the heck people were free-handing their grinding. A simple jig like this makes so much sense.

    After a whole day of hard work I take a glass of wiśniówka and relax myself while watching your work. I do mechanics as my passion (some metal crafting too) however after a really difficult day I do not do any work in a workshop ( I would cut my fingers off) I just sit and relax while watching your videos that come with very good music. Thank you very much.

    Coming from a lab, I use latex gloves all the time. Using them near a heat source such as flying metal sparks is not something I would do.
    Latex is an organic polymer. If it catches fire, it melts while burning. And molten Latex is sticky. So if something goes wrong, you have burning, sticky, rubbery glue on your hands. Gloves you can pull off in an emergency. Glue you cannot pull off.
    There are water-proof working gloves made of non-flammable materials out thre.

You are a great knifemaker and artist that is why you are confident to teach others. Many many thanks from Greece.

  • @maplehouseknives
    @maplehouseknives Před 10 lety +11

    Hi Trollskyy, I have a question: when you grind the bevel, do you grind all the way to the center line or do you leave a little bit to grind off after heat treat? I was under the impression that if you grind all the way to your center line, this thinner edge may warp during heat treat and tempering.
    Thanks very much for your videos, you are a great help to someone just starting out making knives!

      I saw that too and shifted my vision around to see if those letters are correct. maybe it is a language word they use that we also use but with different meanings. It amused me and if someone saw that word and know its meaning then they are a pervert. Im one.

    • @jeremyreeder3226
      @jeremyreeder3226 Před 5 lety +1

      @@user-ss2rd8du6w It is just Japanese for " to splash water " - "don't forget to cool it down" is what I am thinking he means - the western is an anti-euphemism and has perverted it's meaning. I do not pretend to know why he put it there, but from his accent, I would not believe he is western.
