BLADESMITHING | Shaping a Knife Handle | Basics
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Join Jason Knight in his shop as he shows YOU how to shape a knife handle. He is working with a Forged Chopper out of 80CRV2; and fitting to it a Curly Maple handle with red G10 pins. Watch as he grinds, hand-sands, and rock tumbles the handle and blade. Jason finishes it up by applying some leather dye on the handle for that smooth, beautiful finish.

I reallly really appreciate the fact that people like you excise in this world. People who are willing to put in there own time and resources on the internet for free to teach others and inspire others. Just like doctors, carpenters, welders, lawyers, musicians, chefs, officers, soldiers, activists, scholars, Artists, content creators, MOMS, DADS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, PETS, etc….. and many many more other profession’s it’s a long list. You people are amazing and really help out a lot of people who are stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do with their lives. Because you guys show case how cool and how successful and how powerful it is to be yourself in your own selective class. It’s really beautiful and helpful as a person who wants to get into knife making. But Mr Knight I think
That's slick man. Couple of techniques there I've never seen for sure!
Thats the thing about watching high skilled individuals, everything looks so easy. But its really, really hard. Love everything about that finish.
That went zero to a hundred so quick! I honestly didn't think it was going to look that much beautiful until the leather dye and stonewashed finish. Awesome work! Now I definitely have to go get myself a tumbler..
Yeah, one of the things I find most difficult is making the scales symetrical on the knife. Beautiful piece of art!
Wow it is the best shape of knife I've ever seen!! Congratulations man!
That blade came out looking awesome! :)
2 questions - who's the band at the end of the vid that closes things out. 2nd - what is the spray used on the blade to darken it?
This is the kind of video I want to see. Something I can learn from without taking away from your forged and heritage series.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Love that knife - it looks like a cross between a bowie and a kukhri. Beautiful lines.
You can de-clog a sanding belt (or any sandpaper) by running a piece of natural rubber (other rubbers work quite well too) against it. It literally takes 1-2 seconds to completely clean up a belt sander like that. It's a common trick used by woodworkers and apparently by skate boarders (the top of the skateboard is essentially just sandpaper to help you get a grip with your feet). They're usually sold with search terms like "rubber sanding belt cleaner" or whatever.

I have a rubber belt cleaner bar. It works to some extent, but I have found that it leaves rubber stuck in the belt. Not a huge deal if you're roughing out something, but leaves weird streaks on higher finishing grits.
I purchased the Elemental Knife series improved my knife making by 100% !
Good Gawd, that knife is beautiful !
Beautiful knife, and handle. Have you ever tried burning in an oak handle with a torch then taking a wire brush to brush out the burnt parts between the grain? It turns out really nice, it creates valleys between the grain of the oak and raises the grain of the oak.
Amazing !!! Greetings from Poland ;)
I have to try the leather dye now on my wood handles. Never seen that before. Thanks for sharing!
Turned out rad! Dig the dark motif!
Amazing work! Great video!
Beautiful
Love to watch you work.
Amazing as always. Thank you for sharing Jason🤟
Very nice blade. Perfect size I like
Go for it, Jason!
Bro that handle is amazing. Knife is amazing
Another awesome blade! 😍
Always enjoy your videos! The forged series really helped me grow as a maker.
Another great video, a perfect refresher course! 👍🏻👏🏻
I appreciate all the advice, it's really helped me up my forging !
So sic , thx 4 the motivation
oh man that's cool!
Awesome
Lovely 👌👌🤗🤗🤗
@Jason Knight Hey Jason, I just wanted to clarify, just in case I missed something. The Curly Maple handle on this knife is or isn’t stabilized?
What was the solution you sprayed on the knife that darkened it?? I’ve been trying to find something like that!

I'd love to know too. Some form of gun bluing I assume. But some brands are better than others. Could also be ferric chloride (pbc etchant) I suppose, but I don't think that gets this dark.
This video is awesome!! What media did you use for the tumbling?
What magic potion was in your green spray bottle!? Completely changed the look !
Thank you
Kidding love your videos and use your tips alot lol
Great info. Thanks dude. Do you ever use Corby pins(screws)? What's your favorite type of pin to use?
what was the spray on finish to the blade, Ferric Chloride? Love the idea of using leather dye on the handle.
What solution do you use to blue the blade?
Nice
Gotta be careful with foam backing over metal pins in wood... Ty for your time, nice to see a master smith do the same thing I do... Love your handles... Literally broke or I'd love to take a course... I got some abs videos I got my eye on I should break down and order...
Friggin Awesome! I love that handle! What did he spray on the blade?
which you use to change the color of the sheet??
Can you show us how you make the handle for the hidden tang? Watching a lot of smiths, they just drill holes and then fit it on, but i can't really tell what it is that do to get a good fit.
This is one f my favorite parts. Not sure f you remember me but I am Mr. George Herron's grandson.
That’s a sexy handle shape 🦾🦾🦾🦾
Ya what did he spray on the blade? Bluing agent?
I've watched this video multiple times and just realized you said leather dye for the handle. Would that work on stabilized wood as well?
What did he spray on it at the end?

Another great piece of work! What is in the sprayer to blacken your blade?
