Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be making a Bird & Trout Knife with a custom hand-filed Vine pattern on the spine. I made this knife using 5mm 5160 steel, Syringa wood for the handle scales and 2mm Brass pins for the hardware. Feel free to use whatever you have available or prefer.

This is probably one of the best knife making video I've watched so far 👍🏻
You have inspired me to make a special knife, and try filing for the first time. Thanks
Only a pleasure. Thanks for watching. Enjoy making your knife!
Terrific video
Thank you. Glad you like it!
Sir, this is the best instructional video on knife making, especially the file work I have ever seen Period! I plead with you to continue teaching filework. I want to learn that badly, but I have a Brain injury and need to watch videos over and over to re learn.
Dear Mr. McPhail. Thank you so much for the kind words. I am really happy that you are able to learn from the videos. So sorry to hear about your injury. I will try my best to cover as much filework as I can. Kind regards!
I like the less is more approach to your knife build and looks great and straight up practical
Thank you, glad you like it!
Love the Jimping on the knife good work all around
Thank you, appreciate the comment.
Glad I found your channel you make amazing videos learned a bunch godbless 🙏 ooo and hi from las vegas nv.
Thank you for watching. So glad you find the content useful. All the best with your knife making journey. Greetings from South Africa!
Thanks for your time and experience!! It made me better!! Very unique!!
Glad you found it useful. Happy knifemaking!
Enjoyed watching this build tutorial..very well done. Beautiful knife, The only thing I do different is to peen the pins after the epoxy is put on. I find this allows the pins to tighten the scales and fill their holes tightly so there is never a gap when they are sanded off and the scales finished.
Thank you for watching. That sounds like a good idea, I will try that method with the next build.
Very informative video, i Will be making some knives for woodcarving,good information
Thanks for watching!
Great job on the bird & trout 😁

Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it. I am based in Johannesburg.
khaki handle cute ...
Glad you like the Khaki handle...
New fan from Ireland, love the file work, can you use a black colour in the apoxy to hi lite the spin work?
I love all your ideas 💡
Thank you, appreciate the comment. Yes you can use black epoxy...it produces very nice results. Just make sure your pattern only sits within the handle area then. In my case the pattern stretches the entire length of the blade, and covering up the spine with black epoxy would look incomplete.
Turned out great!! Love the file work! I've been experimenting with peening brass handle pins and I feel like I'm either not doing enough or doing way to much and end up cracking the handle material. How much pin you leave sticking out of the handle before you start to drive them down to ensure they lock the handle down on both sides??
Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to watch. So the best thing to do is to practice by peening two pieces of scrap wood together, and see how much peening is needed to lock the scales in place. A good rule of thumb I follow is to leave the same amount sticking out, as what the thickness of the pins are...in other words, if you are using 3mm pins, leave 3mm sticking out. Wood is fairly forgiving with over peening, but synthetics tend to create ugly marks when over peened...so do a practice run on offcuts before moving over to the knife. Hope this helps!
Beautiful knife! What was that bit you use to make the choil?
good video. What camera and lens did you use in this video? (especially in macro shots.)
I do all my filming with a Fujifilm X-A3 camera, fitted with the Fujifilm XC 16-50mm lens. Production and editing is done in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects.
@@zeemanknives thnx i also use fuji XT4 (16-55 lens) i liked your quality.
what is the price for such an knife ? Good job !!!
Depends on steel, size, handle material, country which you reside in...difficult to say
Здравствуйте, Zeeman! Какая мощность двигателя у вашего гриндера? А длинна абразивной ленты?
Здравствуйте, у моей машины двигатель мощностью 1,5 кВт, и в ней используются шлифовальные ленты размером 50 x 1830 мм (2 x 72 дюйма).
@@zeemanknives нормально! А можно вопрос: вы русский изучали или используете переводчик?
@@user-ew9uk8hi6u Я не изучал русский язык. Я использую Google Translate для перевода. Надеюсь, это сработало правильно? Почему ты спрашиваешь?
@@zeemanknives да просто интересно стало. Подумал, может быть встретил соотечественника, живущего в Южной Африке. Спасибо за беседу, мне очень нравятся ваши работы, я подписан на ваш канал. Удачи вам и всего доброго!
@@user-ew9uk8hi6u Спасибо за подписку. Я ценю это. Хорошо держаться!
Hello, i have a question, how you can get a clean metal surface when you are shaping the handle on grinder? When i try on my blade the metal inside handle is scratch always and i try to re-clean metal parts. İs there a easy way to not scratch metal when shaping handle?
Hi...yes, i wrap the blade with tissue paper, and then wrap it again with masking tape. Cover all the metal areas, then you can shape the handle. You have to use tissue paper first, because dust particles get stuck on the glue of the tape and can cause hairline scratches. Hopes this helps!
@@zeemanknives Oh great. ! I could not think but this will help me too much. Thank you so much. :)
@@zeemanknives if you let me i have another question, how you can shape wooden handle without scratch handle metal after you stick woods? Because metal is scratching with any touch during shaping wood in grinding machine.
@@BarisBaydur Sorry so I misunderstood your first question for the second question then. When my profile is finished, and the bevels are ground, I clamp the knife down and hand sand the handles to about 200 grit. The handles does not have to be the same grit as the blade. Then I flip the blade around, and hand sand the blade up to the grit I want it. This is usually around 600-800 grit. Use a piece of offcut leather between the metal and the clamp to prevent the clamp from scratching the metal. You have to finish the blade part completely, then tape it up with tissue paper and tape, glue on your handle scales and shape the handle while keeping the blade taped up.
@@zeemanknives thank you. All of these help too much. Waiting for new videos from you. Best regards.
From where I can buy
Hallo baie mooi messe wat jy maak wat se gom of epoxy gebruik jy
Hi, dankie ek waardeer. Ek gebruik "Epidermix 372" epoxy. Dit vat 12 uur om droog te word wat jou baie tyd gee om jou scales te plak en als mooi skoon te maak.
@@zeemanknives As ek ma vra wa koop jy dit
@@SHADOW-lm2fg Die groot Builders Warehouse winkels stock dit. Dit is n rooi blikkie. Ek gebruik die "Creamy Yellow" kleur.
@@zeemanknives Dankie
Was ist es für ein Stahl ?
Für das Video habe ich 5160 verwendet. Aber Sie können für diesen Messertyp wirklich jede Art von Kohlenstoffstahl verwenden. Verwenden Sie den dünneren Stahl, 3 mm, um eine wirklich scharfe Schneidkante zu erzielen. Ich hoffe, Google übersetzt das richtig. :) :)
hello, what is this? 18:40
It is a magnet. I test the temperature of the steel using a magnet. When steel reaches critical temperature, it does not stick to the magnet anymore...then you know it is ready to quench in the oil to harden.
Hallo Henk het my eerste mes begin wens ek kan vir jou fotos stuur groete
