Part 3 to my knife making series. Here we a filing a knife bevel with a filing jig that I created. The filing jig for knife blades is pretty basic, but as long as a constant angle is maintained you are safe. Making a knife without power tools is quite hard and this process took some time to complete. However hand making a knife is quite rewarding, and when you are making a knife with a file every stroke counts. I hope some people learn from this video and how I set up my knife making filing jig. Cheers

    After so many strokes i clean the file with a wire brush and spray it with WD40 and that prevents the deep grooves when shavings get stuck in the file.

    You can get that angle relatively accurately with some basic trig! Just get the height of the file in the eye bolt, the distance from the base to the knife, and tan that shit

    another thing...old golf club makes a good handle to attach file too.....along with small hose clamps...because tape can give / stretch....I guess hose clamps can too...but not as much as tape would especially electrical tape...maybe this will help...if you have the materials...good luck

    Can you tell me why some people take the grind right from centerline to spine, in other words right across the width of the blade and others (like you did) just grind part way across blade,what is the explanation on that? It seems to me logical to just take the grind part way, though many knives I see are ground across full width of blade! I hope that makes sense and that somebody can enlighten me on that aspect, good video by the way.. Cheers from Mike, South Waikato New Zealand

    I saw here many appreciations BUT if i want to make a knife from HSS, filing doesn't work and should be used sandpaper or stone.
