    Great video! Thanks for the opportunity to get into this competition. Just a tip while filing the bevels. I find it useful to put a sharpie mark on the edge of the bevel closest to you in order to see where the file is taking material away. It is a little easier to judge when to stop or move the file down.

    • @Wengelsworkshop
      @Wengelsworkshop  Před rokem

    • @andrewallason4530
      @andrewallason4530 Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah. Not listed as being poisonous on any tech sheet I can find.
      However, can severely irritate lungs and airways, mouth and sinuses, eyes and skin. Prolonged exposure is a possible cause of lung cancer and other lung conditions. But it’s not poisonous.

    Amazing! I love your channel! I’ve watched a ton of your videos. Being someone who has never actually made a knife. How long would you say it took you to hand grind that blade (using a file and sand paper) once you already had it cut out
    Just curious because I might try to make one. Thanks!

    • @Wengelsworkshop
      @Wengelsworkshop  Před rokem +2

      Thanks for the support Jason! I think it took me about 1.5 hours per side with the file. And maybe another 1.5 hours sanding total. It is very time consuming but is so worth it in the end. It is so rewarding to make a knife. I would highly recommend making one!

    @the.reel.mccoy. Před 10 měsíci

    I'm making my first start to finish knife starting next week. Making it from an old bastard file my grandfather saved to make a knife from. It's not uniform in thickness, so it'll be interresting to attempt. I'm thinking of buying some different steel in the mean time lol

    • @Wengelsworkshop
      @Wengelsworkshop  Před 10 měsíci

      Awesome! I would definitely recommend picking up some steel so you know exactly what you are working with. if you want your grandfathers file to become an heirloom i would recommend saving that until you have made a few knives and have more skills. good luck either way!

      in this case the scratches were very deep bc it was ground with a file so i had to start with a low grip sand paper. i think it was 60. but say if you use a belt grinder and finish with a grit like 220 i would start hand sanding with maybe 150
