Making a knife in my shed. This shows how I made a big knife in my small 7x14 knife shop located in my back yard.
Knife making made fun.
About⬇️
Hi, Im Alex, im a knife maker and KZreadr, based out of southern Pennsylvania and my youtube channel is Outdoors55. This channel started as an outdoor backpacking channel, but quickly grew into a knife/ knife making channel. Everything I do on my channel is family friendly. I primarily focus on knife / knife making videos but occasionally throw in something different. Thank you for watching!😀

Gotta say , I enjoy this editing style more than you’re older style of just editing together a music montage for the entire thing

Next time just use the frigging can opener, they work
You’re so much more thorough than most people on KZread and have a good sense of humor 👍🏻
This was a hilarious edit. I about lost it when you were making your new "quench tank". Great looking blade.
Love your sense of humor. The knife is pretty good too. Lol. Good health, stay safe.

The addition of the heavy metal riffs were excellent!
"And even after all this abuse, it can still slice this tomato with ease." Very nice knife. Thank you for the video.
Brilliant. Not only is your work amazing, but your videos now match the quality of your work.
My dad died a few months ago. He made knives like this, and I've been wishing I wanted to learn from him. Love this video.

This is one of my all time favourite videos on youtube. Watched it quite a few times back when it came out, just revisiting it now and it's still just as good, if not better! Hope one day knifemaking content makes a return on the channel when you're up to it Alex! No rush though, take your time and I'm praying for s speedy recovery :)

That knife makes me think if a machete and a Bowie got together and made a kid that knife is it lol you totally rocked it.
I had 911 on speed dial when you went for the quench! Glad I'm not the only one who notices how loud the milwaukee bandsaw is, and thats coming from a plumber who puts up with some pretty loud noises on a daily basis. I really enjoyed your editing style and want to thank you for making my goal of completing my first knife a realistic one. Your way of educating and explaining is palatable and down to earth which makes the prospect of completing a knife for a noob, a lot less daunting. Thanks again, keep up the great work!

All the prima-donna "professional" knife-makers mock the shed DIYer with his quench tank hack and $1 bake pan, yet will never have "their" blade hack a freaking 2x4!! and look so fine doing so! Once again, your humor and humility used to serve your skill set is much appreciated here.

Work of art. Somewhere in between the Bowie and Gladiator danger. Beautiful and Fun too.....Keep up.
5:08 Been there. Lost my shit lol
6:05 You shouldn clamp it that way because heat travels up and you get uneven cooling, which later in the quenching can cause warpage. best way to cool it is in a vise with the point up. Same tule aplies when heating a knife - edge is always up and vertical. After quenching you can gently clamp the knife in a vise verticaly, it eliminates chanses of warpage. There is a good reason why every swordsmith does it the way i described it. Great knife! Keep up the good videos and great pointy things coming up!

Ive tried it many ways tip up tip down and horizontal. I haven't noticed a difference. Not saying one is better than the other just that it hasnt made a difference for me. It's always at the oil line. Unless i do an edge quench then it could be in the blade. Not talking about big warps very small ones most wouldnt notice unless you had a flat surface. Just some thoughts🤷♂️ Thanks my friend 👍

Way wrong. He is normalizing mill steel, it's not like there is a crazy amount of stress in it. It's not forged, it doesn't overly matter. And the "correct" way to slowly cool a blade is submersing it in something like vermiculite to slowly cool. I use 1084 frequently and normalize by just setting it on the anvil. It's more about reaching the critical temp and relaxing, not going for a crazy anneal. The longer the blade the more likely a warp. The thinner the blade, the more likely a warp. Fixing it out of the quench is easy in a jig like he used.
Finally, a realistic portrayal of the tool choice dilemma. Everyone keeps filming themselves using the right tool the first time, when we know you try at least three tools before you find one that works.
I love knives, all day long I'm watching knife restoration, repair, sharpening, testing, etc, and this is my absolute favorite channel now.
Hahaha I can totally relate to the big knife struggles. I'm making a chef's knife at the moment and I'm feeling all of your pain. Awesome video as always and beautiful knife, my man! Keep up the great work.
Dude yeah, very cool knife and all but the EDITING in this video was sick!! 🤣
LOVE the TJB music!!! tr s great music for ANY build!
That knife looks like it could be a dark timber! Peter Kohler would be proud! Amazing knife

That was amazing, not only the knife but your video editing is fun,funny and educational....I mean I think you know what your doing. BUT it still looks like you know what your doing so that's important.
I am not a smith, however when you were normalizing your blade, I noticed three things. First by placing the blade sideways in the vice it allowed the weight of the blade to droop while still hot, perhaps if it was placed spine down you would find fewer warps. Second the vice clap is placed precisely at your warp during the normalizing. I think the steel is cooling at a different rate where the vice is clapping the steel versus where it is not, because the vice is working as a heat sink. Third, if you insulate the blade and slow the thermal cycle by placing it in perlite or between two pieces of wood and clapping the wood together, you may eliminate any warping and refine the grain structure of the steel a bit more. I am just a truck driver take what I say with a grain of salt. I just noticed this and you complained that you always or frequently experience the same warp and I believe the things I listed above are why or how you might fix your problem. Great videos. My first one was your 24 dollar Damascus blade videos and it was awesome. Good content so far keep it up.
Hi Bud, I got 3 tips for ya. Many shops have grinding rooms with doors and separate air just to keep the metal dust at bay. Any machinery or electronics that the metal dust gets in is history! Some people put grinders on wheeled tables or carts!!! Push it outside. The metal dust is good for the plants! On the handles. Surfboard builders will epoxy the cloth to the Board and let it dry. Then use another coat of epoxy or two coats to clear coat it. It comes out tougher than nails but smooth and slick. You can use a longer setting and lightly flame it with propane or alcohol to make any bubbles pop. No butane, matches, or candles they leave soot and turn stuff black! When you get the nack of it down it’s a great surface. It’s deep reflections, smooth to touch, good to grip, and tough. You For epoxy or fiberglass that does not set from cold or wet conditions, warm it gently with an incandescent light bulb. A little heat and time! I have set it in the sun, but I live in Florida. Great show! Good luck!
WOW!! Those are some pretty huuuuuge bevels!!!
Great blade, awsomer tunes, SUPER PUMPED!!!!!! TIME TO CHOP STUFF!
That thing is a BEAST! Great video, as always, and great build.
The cuts are honestly the best part! 3:28 BONK! BONK! BONK!
F'in Awesome. Something about your sense of humor clicks with me and I think you're hilarious.
Love it man Thanks Always wipe well. 😊 Tip for dusty camera work use a freezer bag just cut A small hole for the lens
Your videos are super funny, duder! The facial expressions you make when you stare quietly are too good. I do that to my wife all the time! Keep up the entertaining content!

I'm not into asmr, but gotta say the noises in this video are awesome! Especially the quick cuts of the creaky vice~ splendid. 👌 Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the destruction montage. I know that feeling of slowly becoming aware of myself again after shredding everything in sight with a new knife.. 😜🥴 and then, the post-frenzy sweep up. lol
Unlike most big bandsaws, that benchtop uses a series wound motor. So yeah, loudest tool ever. Great work and video btw.
What a monster of a blade !
That’s bad ass dude. You totally redeemed yourself from the other “big knife” builds. Very good video too!
I subscribed as soon as you made the quench tank. I dont believe I have ever laughed during a knife making video. Not only are you a showman with ninja editing skills.....you are a bad ass knife maker......and why did I list that last.....WOW!!
