Dang a filing jig...I don't miss that thing lol. Remember when I built mine was so excited. It's a good option if your just starting out. I think everyone should at least do one knife that way.

Great video! Thanks for the opportunity to get into this competition. Just a tip while filing the bevels. I find it useful to put a sharpie mark on the edge of the bevel closest to you in order to see where the file is taking material away. It is a little easier to judge when to stop or move the file down.

Never heard before that steel is poisonous requiring a respirator to safely work.

@andrewallason4530

Yeah. Not listed as being poisonous on any tech sheet I can find. However, can severely irritate lungs and airways, mouth and sinuses, eyes and skin. Prolonged exposure is a possible cause of lung cancer and other lung conditions. But it’s not poisonous.

Amazing! I love your channel! I’ve watched a ton of your videos. Being someone who has never actually made a knife. How long would you say it took you to hand grind that blade (using a file and sand paper) once you already had it cut out Just curious because I might try to make one. Thanks!

Thanks for the support Jason! I think it took me about 1.5 hours per side with the file. And maybe another 1.5 hours sanding total. It is very time consuming but is so worth it in the end. It is so rewarding to make a knife. I would highly recommend making one!

Im in for the win. But what do I do with yet another of my brainchild’s? Haha. Good old BA VanDer SanDer. I might just use that for the whole build ? Done it before. So it works!! Exactly where I’ve designed it for. 😊

Hey Do you have a video on how you made your paint-can heat treat furnace? Would be great to copy

hi just watched ep 1 one beginners knife making video what is the angle required for apex of blade ? Tom.

What respirator would I need for this, I have a few but I wouldn’t want to use the wrong one.

Do you know what angle you set the jig to get the bevel that high? I did it on accident when I bought my jig.

I'm making my first start to finish knife starting next week. Making it from an old bastard file my grandfather saved to make a knife from. It's not uniform in thickness, so it'll be interresting to attempt. I'm thinking of buying some different steel in the mean time lol

@Wengelsworkshop

Awesome! I would definitely recommend picking up some steel so you know exactly what you are working with. if you want your grandfathers file to become an heirloom i would recommend saving that until you have made a few knives and have more skills. good luck either way!

Preferably stick very close to the profile, but you can change anything else.

Red Beard and Royer are no novice knifemakers. They are pros with loads of fancy equipment.

What are the different grits of sandpaper you used?

@Wengelsworkshop

8 ай бұрын

in this case the scratches were very deep bc it was ground with a file so i had to start with a low grip sand paper. i think it was 60. but say if you use a belt grinder and finish with a grit like 220 i would start hand sanding with maybe 150

how thick is the metal you uses?

@Wengelsworkshop

If you are making the knife with a file like I did 1/8 of and inch or roughly 3 mm. Anything thicker adds a lot of time to the filing process that already takes a lot of patience.
