Never got that impression with this video. Great pacing and length.

My first one was shaped out with a grinder then cut my bevels in with files only. I honestly thought it was gonna take longer than it did but a good set of files will cut that in fairly quickly. I did the heat treat at work where we had a torch and also used the drill press at work for my pin holes. I was proud as shit of that knife. It was a Bowie I made from a horseshoeing rasp. I even cut several trees down with that thing about 6 inches in diameter. That was the first of .any more to come and now I haven't touched a knife in almost 15 years.

@@L-Train0ne That's not heat treating, that's tempering. Heat treating makes the metal hard but brittle. You want enough hardness to retain an edge but it will be too hard and become brittle. Tempering will bring down the brittlness and it will be easier to sharpen. Every steel for knives has to be heat treated and tempered. The heat treating is the same, bring it to critical temperature (so hot a magnet will not stick) and then quench is some liquid to "set" the grain structure. The tempering can be different for different types of steel.

For those of you who want to do this but want to do it cheaper, a hole in the ground will work just fine as a forge. Firewood will get plenty hot enough but you'll need a forced air system. A 3' steel pipe (do not used a galvanized pipe) and a bicycle pump will work fine for a bellows. A piece of railroad track works for an anvil. I've used smooth rocks as anvils. Sure they break but..... A claw hammer, ball peen hammer, small sledge hammer will work. You just need something to hit the steel with. Files can be had cheaply. Use your imagination. Good luck!

I have a rotorary, a handheld grinder, a Craftsman combo belt and disc, with the blue abrasives. Electric oven, and a torch set. I like his use of water hardening materials. They are considerably, softer than other materials, and can crack when quenching. The draw back times, are kinda extra precautions. One hour per inch, is the most common preference. I have used them all, air hardens are the toughest materials. Plastic mold mirror metals, make pretty finishes. Blades used for camping, and batoning, need tougher materials. Kitchen knives can be thin and hold an edge. A EDC, somewhere in between.

@@AutonomousVII yes Oil with a high flash point is best. Water will cause metal to have stress fractures down to a microscopic level and inevitably cause blade failure. There are experienced blade smiths who use water but they use it in an exact method. Oil is far better for a beginner and anyone who doesn't specifically know water techniques etc. The only time I use water or brine is on softer steel to get as much hardness from it as I can. Even when using oil be sure it's not cold. I heat up a large bolt or railroad spike and drop it in my quench oil. This will also to prevent cracks.

Most are low carbon but I have made some decent knives from them and lots of tomahawk. Experiment with quench methods on mild steel.

First I would quench in oil if using 1095 especially if you're a beginner. Second I wouldn't use a plastic cup as the quench bath. You can get a gallon of peanut oil, which has a high flash point, for about 15 bucks and an empty paint can for like 3 bucks. Source: me I've made about 30 knives out of 1095 quenched every one in peanut oil and they all came out perfect. Oh don't forget to heat your oil up to about 100 degrees maybe 120 warm oil draws the heat out of the steel faster. Next when you make a blade longer than 4 inches you have to learn how to straighten warped steel, just remember knife makers don't make mistakes they just make smaller knives.

Quenching in brine or parks 50 is usually better for 1095. I use canola oil which is not as aggressive as peanut oil and it still works but it's best to stay safe with parks 50 if you can afford it. Brine is scary since it can lead to cracks, but still better than peanut or canola oil

Tempering will bring down the brittlness and it will be easier to sharpen. Every steel for knives has to be heat treated and tempered. The heat treating is the same, bring it to critical temperature (so hot a magnet will not stick) and then quench is some liquid to "set" the grain structure. The tempering can be different for different types of steel.

I have a rotorary, a handheld grinder, a Craftsman combo belt and disc, with the blue abrasives. Electric oven, and a torch set. I like his use of water hardening materials. They are considerably, softer than other materials, and can crack when quenching. The draw back times, are kinda extra precautions. One hour per inch, is the most common preference. I have used them all, air hardens are the toughest materials. Plastic mold mirror metals, make pretty finishes. Blades used for camping, and batoning, need tougher materials. Kitchen knives can be thin and hold an edge. A EDC, somewhere in between.

There are experienced blade smiths who use water but they use it in an exact method. Oil is far better for a beginner and anyone who doesn't specifically know water techniques etc. The only time I use water or brine is on softer steel to get as much hardness from it as I can.

You can get a gallon of peanut oil, which has a high flash point, for about 15 bucks and an empty paint can for like 3 bucks. Source: me I've made about 30 knives out of 1095 quenched every one in peanut oil and they all came out perfect. Oh don't forget to heat your oil up to about 100 degrees maybe 120 warm oil draws the heat out of the steel faster. Next when you make a blade longer than 4 inches you have to learn how to straighten warped steel, just remember knife makers don't make mistakes they just make smaller knives.

Quenching in brine or parks 50 is usually better for 1095. I use canola oil which is not as aggressive as peanut oil and it still works but it's best to stay safe with parks 50 if you can afford it. Brine is scary since it can lead to cracks, but still better than peanut or canola oil

@@ragingmoderate6791 lol yeah that's kinda sketchy. My first quench tank was a Tupperware. Melted straight through it. I spilled oil everywhere.

@@Skidgiz99 that's why I'm glad my very safety conscious brother was the one who got me into wanting to make knives. When we were looking for a quench tank I suggested using a Tupperware container and he just gave me this look like is was really dumb.
