Hi Kalia, I just wanted your viewers to know that 3 years ago, you and a number of other knife makers online inspired me to get involved and start making knives. After I watched you make the KHO hunting knife I made one of similar design for a brother as well as a number of kitchen knives for 4 other siblings all out of 1084 steel, using a filing jig. It wasn't long before I purchased a bench top grinder made by Ryobi which saved a lot of time and was much easier to use, with practice. I made a coffee can forge, which works well for small knives but I send out my larger knives to a heat treater now, an even heat oven would be great but beyond the budget at this point in time. A very good friend built a 72 x 2 inch linisher for me recently, in exchange for a series of knives, so now I will be able to make some heavier and larger gear. So keep up the great work and I hope you eventually obtain a degree of wealth you truly deserve with your knife making career. Making things with your hands is truly satisfying and a god send if someone wants to buy them.

It's a great hobby. You can make gifts for others. You can sell a few and use the money to buy more supplies and equipment. If you get bit by the bug, you can "find" more money in your budget and add to the hobby. make 1 knife. then make another just like it but use your lessons learned to make the second one better. Then do it one more time. The 3rd knife should be better than the first two and you will be on your way!!

Another possible option is the plans for sale by USA Knifemaker. $25. The grinder is a no weld grinder (they suggest bolting everything and show how). I built 3 of them. I have a welder so I didn't use the bolts and so can't comment on how well it works. But the frame and box tubing components is as cheap as you can get. then buy your own wheels, find a motor and pulley system... anyway... it's an option and mine works great!! Ive been making blades for over 40 years, this is now my primary grinder.

After those first 3 you should have far more information about whether or not you think you would like a self supporting hobby (sell knives to buy more tools and materials) or begin your own business.

Thank you Kaila. Consider a rest for the phone when stationary filming. Then you can pick it up when you need to change the view.
Hey there, just got into knife making only Im doing things backwards. I have built half a knife shop and still havent even ground my first knife. Really, I love making tools. But my question to you is, Should I start with or without a bevel grinding jig? Thanks for sharing your work and passion.
I sent an email asking your opinion on getting the Grizzly 2 x 72" and some other machines or getting the more modern 2 x 72" since I noticed you had both. I went with an Ameribrade 2 x 72" 2hp variable speed belt grinder. The other machines will have to wait. lol
Good video. Thank you:))
I'm a female 9th maker to and I think you're wonderful
Thanks for the video Kaila! Which dremmel bits did you use for getting in curves on handles etc? The little grinding stones? I havent got a contour wheel for my grinder...but it just went on the shopping list.

I use a Dremel sanding drum 60 and 120 grit. Keep in mind that the sanding drums don't last long.
You are so gorgeous and normal, down to earth. Talented and creative. Subbed young lady, keep being you!
👍👍👍
Just wanna give my greetings and my love

This comment is 100% unrelated to march 8th, but let me take the chance and give you Happy International Women's day
When tempering my billet I put my damascus knife in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour ,it turned gold in color After a couple days I put it back in the oven and it turned dark blue. Is the knife blade hard enough do you think?
I would like something with orange handle
Hows the evenheat treating you? What size did you wind up getting?
Did you rigidize the insulation in the new forge?? Please, for your health make sure you aren't using bare fiber! Cheers :)
Hi Kaila, I am a knife hobbyist , maybe 5 a year. I have been using a 1x30 and actually perfected but takes forever. I would like to upgrade to a Grizzly 2x72. I noticed that was something you used a while back. I can not afford a commercial 2x72. Any advice?
team KcK!
One hot knife maker
I LOL at people getting upset because she doesn't personally respond to them. This woman has a 50k KZread Channel, a husband, kids, a knife business. Why is it surprising that she doesn't have the time? So many self entitled people anymore. Kaila, don't let their rude comments get to you. It's just adults acting childish because they are not the center of the universe.
I really would love do make knives. I hate my job so much lol

Consider making your first one as a hobby. keep the first one. then make 2 more of the same knife but use what you learned on the first one to make better knives. After those first 3 you should have far more information about whether or not you think you would like a self supporting hobby (sell knives to buy more tools and materials) or begin your own business.
Heavy duty table vise
why do people knock or trash talk railroad spike knives so much? if you case harden and temper your finished knife blank properly, a railroad spike makes a great knife that has a very hard case with a soft interior that is very tough. I have had railroad spike knives case harden to 3/32nds of an inch deep with a HRC of 67 and had to remove some of the hardness.
Thank you for the tips. Did I see you on TV?

@@kailacumings Ha Ha Ha! That must have been where I recognize you from. I love that show. I hope that you weren't in one of the jungle episodes. Seems like everything there want's to sting or bite you there. Keep up the youtube vids.
Hope your mother gets well.
Are you on blade forums?
انتي جميله جدا جدا 💪💪
And also don’t have people water jet for you it just takes the hand made part and throws it out the window
I found a free source of steel. At least it looks like steel. There are these pipes coming out of my neighbor's house that go to a meter of some sort....... Just kidding. Great video.
Beautiful hands... No tatoo.... You beautiful❤️

Do you have your videos monetized? Might add a little side income to pay for your supplies.

I don't think you're in any position to give advice on knifemaking as daddy Darrell stamps out all your knives in the same shop as his in china
I'm not trying to be negative by saying this, but your shop looks like a fire hazard. I am a big fan and I say this out of concern.
