Knife Making: A Modern EDC Tanto

- Enjoy this full build for a new tanto design I'm working on. Really liked the grind on this with the deep swedge. It almost gives it a dagger feel. Paired it with some nice shadowboxed redwood lace burl scales. The micarta liners (which were a last-minute add-on), complimented the colors in the wood nicely and pulled everything together. Lastly, I did two sheaths since the first "taco" sheath wasn't snapping into place nicely.
If you have any tips or tricks for shadowboxing scales or making taco sheaths fit better please let me know in the comments. Would love to know what you think of the complete build as well.

IMPORTANT: Knifemaking/bladesmithing can be very dangerous. Always use proper protection (eye, ear, lung). Please do your own research and use your best judgment before attempting the things you see in this video.

The bevel jig and file guide are both from TR maker for anyone wondering. Not being paid to showcase it or anything, just a great product and great service.
Dope AF results, @99echo! This would fit right in at a high-end sporting goods catalog and/or retailer!

Thanks!
My friend for only being at this game for 1 1/2 years you have developed your talent extremely well..I think you have a natural gift...and your background in graphic design shows in your work......now let's see some mongo fighting knives....lol
Thanks for the kind words! It's been a fascinating journey for sure. Still lots to learn but loving every bit of it. Which ones are the mongo knives?
@@99echo mongo is just slang word for Large.....I really like large fighting style knives...Bob Loveless one of the best knife makers ever used to make some beautiful ones...if your not familiar with his work you should google him up fascinating man...
Beautiful Knife, Your definitely on my go to for Knife making.
Lighting and Editing also Brilliant, keep it up.
🤙🤙🤙 thank you! Always appreciate feedback on the editing. That's half the battle with these videos haha. Could you tell I had to swap lenses three times tho??
Very nice! I freaking love a good Tanto. Just found inspiration for my next build as soon as I finish the one I'm on currently.
Awesome! Love to hear it. If you've got an Instagram, tag me when you finish it!

breaker breaker 1 9er this is Whiskey Delta40 to 99Echo 👀😅 just wanted to say VERY COOL tanto blade bro! The skill and craftsmanship is superb! over n out good buddy
Roger Roger haha thanks man, kind words 🙏🙏🙏
Phenomenal
🙏🙏🙏
How long did you let this etch in the ferric chloride? Thats the best finish ive ever seen!
Thanks! Usually 30 mins then check it for coverage, hit it with the steel wool and etch it again for 30.
man i am amazed by the fact that everything looks free handed. Are you self learned or is this just the gift of experience?
Hahaha that kind of sounds like a backhanded compliment - should it look freehanded? Lol yeah self taught man, only a year and a half in. I have a background in graphic design which I like to think helps me out. You should check out my insta. Some of my favorite work on there that I unfortunately didn't film.
@@99echo sorry if it sounded rude. It was meant to be praise, i just worded it weird. But the fact yourself taught gives me hope that i can to XD. I guess it gives tonnes of freedom to create whatever knife preference you want. It is always satisfying watching the vids. I will defiantly check your insta, count me as a free follower XD
Haha all good, it was funny. Yeah, get on it! My earlier vids are a little more informative. And you're right, I really do whatever kind of knife I can think up.
رائع جدا جدا جدا
Awesome knife 🔪 👏 😎... what the name of the vise you used to clamp the knife down to and used up against the sander? Or can u share link where to buy it please and thank you
Thanks man! Check out TR Maker bevel jig. They're great!
@@99echo thanks man I would definitely look into it and keep up the awesome work it inspire me to try and do my own
Sweet man, it's definitely a handy tool as you practice hand grinding. Good luck on yours!
How do you know how much to grind off the spine and the tanto edge to bring the 3 lines together perfectly on both sides?
Bu videodaki ağız açma aparatı bizim türkiyede yapılıyor 🙂 teknik açıdan çok iyi bir aparat
Great product, great service!
verry muci nais . minus the kidex. tuu big
