Karambit from a Motorcycle Rotor | Knife Making

  • I got a few used motorcycle brake rotors and decided to make a Karambit Knife from one.
    I try to keep some of the shape and characteristics of the Rotor in the knife as a sort of memory of its origin.
    The blade came out at around 58-59 Rockwell C, not the hardest but very wear resistant and I found out during finish and sharpening.
    The Ferric Chloride with Apple vinegar gave it a nice grey satin finish.
    I still don't know if and what handle to make, thinking of Micarta or something of the sort and a Kydex Sheath.
    Please let me know what you think in the comments below.

    Right on!! Really good mate. I have just started getting into knife making as a hobby. Really like your content.
    I made a bevel jig. I having an issue with the setup. I noticed in your vid, as you filed the bevel near the tip you filed into the wood. I’m doing that too. I didn’t see it on the Gough vid. Is this a normal expectation when using it? Any other tips for the jig?
    Appreciate your time

    • @tauftools
      @tauftools  Před rokem +2

      Hi mate! I’m glad you are enjoying the channel 🙏
      Most I can say about the jig after a year or so of use, is that I change it quite a lot! I just keep a bunch of left over wood and replace / change according to the knife I’m making.
      It started out very similar to Gough’s jig but I made very different kinds and sizes of knives, so I had to change it a lot.
      Good luck with your knife making journey!!

    Hi man , good idea! Surely i will try but i have a question. Wouldn't life be simpler if you do all that hard work before harden the steel?
    Hope you will get a good belt sanding machine soon!

    • @tauftools
      @tauftools  Před 2 lety

      Hi man, actually all the hard work is before hardening :) most of the work is the bevel grinds with the file.
      After that it’s all sand paper and such, and that is better to do after hardening in my short experience :)
      Thank you man! I’m glad you liked it!

    What about the HRC?

    • @tauftools
      @tauftools  Před rokem

      Unfortunately not very high. Around 58 HRC, has to do with the need for friction at high temp needed for braking.

    Gotta look at the time you put in for what you sell it for man….. looks like 100+ hours for a knife someone would pay 100 dollars for…. That’s $1/hr of your time… either make it faster with better tools, make multiples at once, or sell it for more…. Looks like a lot of work for a knife.
