Martin Larsson I think I laughed at that bit a little too hard to be honest 😂

I cannot express just how much I appreciate the grown-ass man sarcasm thrown in to your incredibly informative and professional videos.

Love the note at the end. Nice tutorial as well.

Your grinding experience makes it look so easy! Practice Practice Practice..

Yup!!! Keep killing it Mr. Sorrells. About a year ago I asked you if you needed someone to kick around your shop I'm A bit more experienced and blacksmithing and I would like to work with you

Brilliant as always

Beautiful work love the video!

enjoy your sense of humor Walter,,,Thanks another good one.

Walter, every time I watch your videos, you're the Bob Ross of knifemaking for me! :D Thanks for the videos ;)

Thanks for all the great Info! I really enjoyed the end of the video lol.

Always get knowledge from your videos.......Thanks for sharing that knowledge............Thumbs Up

If I can harden it I will! Gotta make it sharp! Keep up the great stuff! Define Your Legacy!

Loved the end, Walter! xD

Thanks for the facts at the end

Great! - Office closed, a cool soda "sssssed out", and here is the new video :D -The weekend officially started for me :D

Grind off the ugly is what cracked me up. Not often I laugh at the monitor.

Love the Irony part at the end!

YOU TREE KILLER! god i love your humor.

I had a question for knives especially throwing knives of all types would you know any specific type of fabric for a vest that would be able to hold the knives or maybe a website that actually specializes in making specific things like that

notification squad!!!!!!! love the videos Walter

That special note made me laugh way more than it should have xD

I really enjoy your videos Walter! you're one of the few KZread'ers I always watch as soon as I see a new upload from you. I was wandering about this concept of these videos. why are didn't you make a forging video along with these. since you started forging sword I would asume that it was a go to method of knife making for you? could be interesting seeing a series of forged vs stock removal knife making videos.

Hey Walter, how would you temper a throwing knife out of 55Si7? Do i have to worry about tempering brittleness if i go past 300°C? (since it contains more than 0,3% Mo)

cool vid

Now if we are void of a belt grinder like this, can you clean a blade up using a flap wheel mounted on a motor?

Whats a good cheap knife steel I can practice my bevels on? (my first knife went awry and was a good $15 chunk of steel which was way to big for a first knife) I used O1 tool steel.

1095 from Admiral Steel is probably the cheapest. you can get 8 foot sections for not a lot of money.

I have a 6 1/2 foot straightedge made of spring steel. It's only 1/8 inch thick. I was thinking of making throwing knives out of it. Is it too thin for this purpose?

pretty sure i accidentally did a differential heat treat on a knife recently. i forgot to preheat my oil, and after i finish ground the blade there was a slight line running down the blade about half an inch up following the edge. i didnt even know that was possible, so the more you know :)

Like the size thanks what do it weigh

Question: I am currently in the process of making a dagger of sorts but I'm struggling to work out how to fix a rounded wooden handle. I don't want to use glue (it seems like a tacky method) and I don't have anything to thread the tang either. The tang is about 0.5 by 0.5cm and its square. Do you think I can I could simply drill a hole in the handle and hammer it onto the square tang securely without it splitting with pressure? Also, could I somehow heat the tang, would this cause the metal to contract then swell or something to create a tighter hold? Finally I wont be using a pummel of any sort on this dagger, just so you know (all just one handle).

James Gordon u got to use glue or some kinda thin pin. your tang is too "small"

Okay, so, did you run Pike Peak?

why do you heat treat 1095 at different temperatures? ive seen a low of 400º and now a high of 475º. What difference does it make?

Brandon Hobby your talking about tempering but they do it different temps for a sharper or tougher blade higher temp you go better bounce it has

Don't worry I get your ironic sense of humour, thanks for all the great info.

If Walter throws a knife at a tree in the forest and no one is around to hear, will anyone complain?

it would be awesome if you made a folding knife fidget spinner with a loving mechanism

I like Tactix Armory knives. They have a simple, but effective design. They look like good cutters. I was going to buy one but you guys ignored my email. Are you guys actually selling knives? I can't find any Tactix Armory reviews anywhere.

Thank you 10:44

All right Walter,,,, you and I are about the same age, and I was taught in grade school about the climate changing as a normal cycle of warm and cool, you know, the ice age and the massive drought before and after, over and over again. Remember,,,, remember,,,, remember,,,,

Oh, Irony or not I really thought you'd be the type of guy to get a house in a forest.

This guy is a troll hunter!!

It's way easier to throw your knife at a tree than to throw a tree at your knife.

I think you'll get more trolls out about the Global Warming quip than the knifemaker metallurgy quip.

No he wont, they are not trolls in any case. Most people who know about global warming have brains and know how to take a good joke. Those who are into knife making and metallurgy are usually a wee bit dumb, so more likely to get their knickers in a twist.

catch that throwing knife... lol

Perhaps your president could build a fence around the IFZ instead?

A throwing knife should be longer to work good, 11-14 inches. The rules for competition tell the length, i think its what i just said . Copy the Cold Steel brand, they fly good.

Had to get the global warming bull in there-gone.

Cool design but there are things you might consider doing differently for a few reasons. A throwing knife always has questions attached to its design. All of them ask, "Is your throwing knife a weapon, a circus performing instrument, or a toy?" 1. If it's a weapon, you're probably not getting it back after use (and you might not want it back) and everything you do to make it do more than stick exactly once is wasted effort. If it's a circus performing instrument or a toy, then, yes, by all means, it should be made to last. 2. A throwing knife really doesn't need an elaborately ground blade/edge because the metal you remove it to make a sharp blade, makes it more likely to cut you as it leaves your head (depending on throwing method) and because the more metal you remove from the blade, the more mass you remove and a throwing knife's penetration is straightforward Newtonian physics: KE = 0.5 × m × v^2. The more mass you remove, the more you lessen your penetration/damage potential. The point is the point of a throwing knife and It is for this reason that many makers of throwing knives use a long, shallow bevel with a heavy, hard-to-break point on it. Just some thoughts. Thanks for the videos. I'm finding them entertaining and instructive.

"Wavy is bad" .... yeezy hater detected

Great knife and sword make, Wrong on the global warming though

first

nice video, but you really should not be throwing knives into trees because they have a tendency to bounce back to the thrower

begging on here to ! I just unsubscribe !

No such thing as global warming. ..But it was funny!
