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
Dave

Holy crap. Dude I want to hug you!! No lie. You are the only person to explain it with angles. Lol.
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 are the ONLY guy I've seen that even mentions the degree of the bevel!! Thanks!!
I'm glad I watched this. I was this close to grinding the edge off my file. The sleeve on the guide bolt is a great idea. Thanks.
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

@@peterlarson5225 the guy done well, pretty sure the knife makers back in the d ay didn't "tan that shit" the guy made good with the metal if its not about safety why comment, is it just to show you know better and are more skilful
I was looking forward to this vid, and it delivered. The knife is coming along great!

Nice work. It just takes more time. Ordinary chalk board chalk on your file will help keep it clean. Thank you for the video

Bushcraft Picard haha not going to lie the jig is far from ideal, but it did the job and made me take my time. thanks for the kind words, I'm in the middle of moving so the next few steps might have to wait a bit. regardless I'll get it done :)

22.5 / 22.5 45 degree edge is a good edge for EDC. Its not to aggressive but yet its not a slicer either

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
where to see grinding angles of different grinds?
good video. subed

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
damn....you seem to know what you are doing. Looks great! What do you do for a living?
I don't hand out compliments often but nice work.

Can you use this on long knives
What's the length and width of the knife
Your plunge lines turned out great! Did you round the corners of your file like Aaron Gough explained in his video?

Mloo Mlair took a few hours for the bevel when it was all said and done
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.
