Knife making - caveman styled fixed blade

I wanted to try and make a knife that looked like it was made from a piece of flint. Its made from o1 with my antiqued rad poisoning patina done on it 3 times over to give it a more warn rocky effect. Not sure if I'll do it again but it was definitely fun to muck around with

Great idea and it turned out rather well. Would have been nice with a sheath though...yeah someone else said that. Keep up the good work!

I was always a fan of "crude but effective".

[@copiercer]

Absolutely incredible work !! I love this style !!

[@armageddonknives]

thanks mate

[@scouttroop291]

nice

[@thisolddog2259]

So I've been making knives for a couple year's and have done some pretty nice knives. I've always fought getting the perfect bevel or the best finish. I finally decided that a hammered texture with an ok bevel looks good enough for me!

[@aries_9130]

Beautiful knife. You nailed the "caveman style" in my opinion.

[@armageddonknives]

thank you

[@davidclark5237]

Ditto!

[@SharpWorks]

When it was rusted in parts right after you put the random patterns in, it looks so cool like a rusty camo looking knife. The final look is beautiful great work you definitely got the flint look you were going for!

[@armageddonknives]

cheers, too bad the rust isn't on their well enough to work as a finish. after I did the pattern I wiped it down with some wd40 and it all came right off

[@SharpWorks]

DB Blades yea that would've been cool but it looks amazing with its final finish

[@ethanmcnash4785]

That orange on it right before putting the edge on it looked pretty damn cool in my opinion

[@PREPFORIT]

That was amazing from start to finish . Even the heating. Of the oil ! 💥
Rough & tough great blade.!

[@armageddonknives]

glad you enjoyed my video mate

[@4gunner]

Best DIY knife I have ever seen!

[@grando111]

13:09 this lookd great already, looks like camuflage, or different collors glass, i would love to see a more collorful version of this.

[@TyBraek]

Those colors that came out after you ground in the pattern were awesome. Almost looked like a desert camo.

[@armageddonknives]

too bad its only sureface rust so it doesn't stay

[@metalbear375375]

Dom, it's a real pleasure to see how your skills have grown over the past few years! It's cool to see the professionalism and knowledge you are bringing to the knife making table, as it were. I always enjoy seeing your work pop up in my feed on IG, and I'm very happy that others have seen the talent you have and that you are able to make a career of knife making :) I really can't wait to see what the future has in store for you :) Keep working hard, my friend!

[@armageddonknives]

thanks man. the last 2 years have been pretty full on and going full time has definitely helped me up the quality of my work. Thanks for following my work for so long, I still remember you where one of my first 100 subs

[@Barefoot3us]

Very nice and I liked seeing how you do the grinding of the pattern into the knife.
Very sharp, but actually scary sharp.
Thanks for the video.

[@armageddonknives]

Thanks for watching Jeff

[@Owl566]

Just found your channel mate - I like your work - that knife is awesome - To me it looks like a topographical map of some crazy mountains 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@nfg_racing7968]

that is fucking sweet ass knife man I can't believe it turned out so well at a glance you would think it's actually made from stone you got a like and a new subscriber here good work man keep it up

[@armageddonknives]

thanks and thanks for the sub mate

[@Surtac100]

Best looking knife You’ve made, awesome shape like an arrowhead mixed with the rocky texture, comes together to make a dope blade!!!

[@offroader5]

love the texture on this knife

[@irongastelum6202]

Your honesty on the non tutorial type videos got my sub...oh and a like lol that’s what you guys want right ?

[@elijahtiner5691]

Best channel for learning imho... Okay I lied because I'm a caveman type bladesmith too. Good stuff for real though. Your work is badass

[@jasondiaz9083]

im a knifemaker as well and might i say well done sir i love it , it looks awesome

[@armageddonknives]

thanks mate

[@wiggsan]

That looks REALLY good!!!! Gonna have to try that!

[@ew.8095]

You're my kind of Knife-maker my friend. Excellent work

[@dudeworkman99]

Such a great looking knives I love the simplicity of it. Would love to have one

[@armageddonknives]

[@martyreno6723]

That knife is killer! Good job! Really like the way that turned out.

[@armageddonknives]

thank you

[@budokava]

I'm an egotistical bastard! lol Excellent work, the knife is a true piece of art! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@bobjefferson7287]

You my friend are an absolute genius

[@armageddonknives]

thanks man

[@mattlunde1759]

I absolutely love you videos. You are unique. The 25 mm titanium blade got my attention to your channel and you deserved the viral hit. Make more content, please :D

[@armageddonknives]

thanks for the kind words mate, I really appreciate it. Oh and thanks for watching my video, Theirs a few more on the way

[@jeremyfagan445]

I subscribed just because of the humor he has

[@ryanmcmahon5759]

I love this knife sooo much, it needs to be available for purchase to the public i would die to have one i am starting to get into knife making and have made five so far and one sword im currently making a tomahawk as well anyway great job I admire your work greatly.

[@yugen]

Looks really cool. You should learn to make knives out of flint or obsidian, it is anything but random! Very challenging indeed. Great video, thanks.

[@augustus63]

this is probably my favorite of your works

[@MartinHubbard1]

.Stunning knife, that turned out pretty nice. Congrats on your hard work.

[@armageddonknives]

thanks man

[@MrRigmunkee1]

Very nice. Love the finish.

[@RonRay]

I can see only one thing wrong with that knife.... It's not here with me in Alabama!
That is one nice knife! -- If I were 40 or 50 years younger, I might try to make something like that.

[@armageddonknives]

haha thanks mate

[@chadashton7029]

You have some seriously nice look stuff. I wish I had the money to pick something up from you...I'd love to have one of your knives on my duty belt everyday at work.

[@gustafson74may]

Cool looking knife and great idea. Nice job.

[@armageddonknives]

thanks mate

[@aagrollmus]

oh man! a chef knife like that would be awesome!!!!

[@spicy.sunday2814]

This does look flint knapped or something like that,I love it.
Good job man👍

[@trevorschretlen3884]

Okay, just gonna put this out there even though I am realizing that you may have wanted a glass like blade (what for having it be more like a flint blade or something if that's what you were going for). If you're gonna work with a tool steel, you absolutely positively need to temper it after quenching or any kind of shock to the blade will snap it. Unless it is tempered, tool steel acts like glass and is very very brittle after being quenched. You did acknowledge this fact, but even with tempering, you wouldnt lose much of its edge retaining ability - in fact, you would probably prolong the life of the edge.

[@armageddonknives]

mate it is tempered, I just didn't film it

[@trevorschretlen3884]

Okay, fair enough, that's good to hear. I have just seen too many friends try to make their "dream knife" out of a tool steel only to have it shatter on them.

[@armageddonknives]

haha yeah It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why my blades broke so easy when I first started out

[@bradymcphail9690]

well kid, if you didn't mean to make a tutorial video you failed! it was extremely informative and educational. in fact I learned a lot more than many others. it was entertaining too!

[@yannmauricebuchmayer4246]

I was about to write the exact same thing, what a great video once again DB Blades!

[@JoeyAtilano]

That came out awesome. I need to try out early of these.

[@armageddonknives]

haha thanks. You should man, knowing you it'll probably end up as some sort of big fuck off blade

[@JoeyAtilano]

DB Blades Lol ,probably.

[@bbridges100]

Great video! Very cool looking knife!

[@armageddonknives]

thanks!

[@peter4868]

Like your optimism man keep it up, your channel is one point and the way you are honest and crap your better than most other channels. Keep it up, ow yeah been thinking of saving up to get one of those awesome kitchen knives, wonder how much would it be, on your stuff for a decent one? The great work I've seen and how much of all around bloke you are can't wait to see.

[@armageddonknives]

thanks for the kind words mate, I appreciate it. For a full size chef knife it would probably be around the 5-600 AUD mark depending what you want done

[@peter4868]

Mate I was thinking of some sort of higher level chiefs knife that could cut through the bench if dropped or pushed down with enough force. It might take a bit on the money wise, only a semi part timer so got some time from now. But yeah something like that mate would be great.

[@ChrisR676]

Things I learned:
•leave some meat, it does take a couple hours to correct a warp!
•soak heat is intended for larger chunks of steel 👌🏽
•that pattern after the grinding looked awesome like a camo print!
Very cool to see a build video I will one day try this tool steel

[@armageddonknives]

glad it helped man

[@redbeardtactical1619]

Nice work Dom. Thanks for sharing.
