Gough Custom you are an inspiration to future knife makers. Thank you for sharing your idea with the filing jig.
Dude... No one does that good on the “ first one” shows all the right stuff, for a Craftsman or a Professional knife maker. Yuri you are the man!
Great!! Really used common tools. Thx for the lesson!!
Yuri, I like your explanation, very clear to understand, thanks for sharing
As a custom knife maker for over thirty years I've seen a lot of "first knives"! If this is indeed your first knife then I must say you show great skill in the use of hand tools and in the construction of this knife,..great job!

+MrJohn714 Thank you! This was really my first knife! It took me a very long time to get it done! I realized later on that the heat treatment of the knife wasn't right and I had to remove the handles, re-harden and retemper the knife and make new handles for it. After that I was very pleased with the result! =D

+Yuri Darian Your very welcome! A little tip on heat treating, when using a forge such as you did its a good idea to have a small magnet nearby, when the steel has reached critical temperature and ready to quench it will become non-magnetic and not attracted to the magnet that's the time to quench!

Hey Yuri! I'm unable to answer your comments on my videos because of your Google+ settings (you have public replies turned off, it's a silly feature). The acid that I use is called Ferric Chloride, it will definitely stain Micarta unfortunately. G10 however is immune to it and the combo works out very well for me! To get a clean consistent etch you have to finish sand your blade really well, and make sure that it's very clean (degrease it with detergent). I then etch a few times, just for 10 seconds at a time, and scrub the blade in between with a toothbrush and running water.

Gough Custom Its a good thing you told me about the micarta! Mine is not actually "micarta ®". Its a home made cloth+glass resin laminate. I think I'll test a piece of in the the acid to see what happens first! Thanks for letting me know, though! Is 400 grit too rough for the etch? If so, how high should I go? About the FC solution, do you dilute it or just use the concentrated stuff from Radio Shack? We don't have radio Shack in Brazil, but the solution I bought has the same concentration (about 40%). I've been looking all over for a etching tutorial with photos, surface prep, concentration and bath times but all I found on the forums was random recipes mixing different acids and very divergent oppinions resulting in no actual conclusion, hahahah! That is why I came to you. Thanks for getting back to me despite the Google+ settings nonsense. I'll find out how to disable it!
@GoughCustom

Yuri Darian Hey mate! 400 grit should be fine, the main thing is to make sure there's no decarb or scale left on the blade. Basically at 400 grit the steel should all look the same. Once it's nice and clean it will etch much more nicely! I used my acid as it came, it said it was pre-diluted though. That was quite a while back and I can't remember how concentrated it was! Whatever they recommend for PCBs is pretty much what you should use.
@YL_AmericadoSul

Thanks, Aaron! I'll sand it down to 400 grit and use te 40% solution I have. It is supposed to be used as it comes for PBC so it should be very close to what you used. I've been filming the process so I'll probably post a video os it after it's done. I'll let you know in case you want to see how it turned out! Thanks again for all the help!

great job you're a big one, a question, how long have you held the blade to cherry red?
nice knife but just wondering did the tip end up as hard as the rest of the knife? i noticed it wasnt quite as red as the rest
Would kms if i had to do this without an angle grinder ! Nce knife tho !
More importantly: what's the music, man? :D Pretty looking knife by the way.

Be careful when using motor oil for quenching, as it might give off dangerous fumes when heated in the oven.

Nart, thanks for watching! I didn't sharpen the knife on the video because I was waiting for my sharpening jig to arive. I bought a Lasky equivatent on ali-express (lansky.com/index.php/products/dlx-5-stone-system/). It works really well but my chinese equivalent wore out very quickly. Soon after I built my belt grinder and started shapening my knifes on it and polishing on a leather strop. Here is a video showing how the lanky shapening system works (kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKB9l7KaiNbMf84.html) and here is another video I made where I use my belt-grinder to 1st sharpen a knife (kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2RnwdF-l8TLdKw.html). I hope this helps!
why did you use sand paper before heat treating ?
hi Yuri, one more question if you don't mind... when you are creating the bevel, hope thick should one leave the cutting edge before heat treating?
@YL_AmericadoSul
8 жыл бұрын
Hi, Afif. This is a very relevant question! when I made this particular knife I left the edge with about 0.3 mm. It turned out to be too thin and I got a little warping on the edge. nothing major and it was fixed while giving the bevel its final finish! On the knifes that I've done after that, I leave the edge with 0.5mm. It prevents the blade from warping. I hope this helps you out!

First of all thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it and whants to try it yourself. As fo the question, It depends on where you are from! In my case, I live in São Paulo - Brazil. I bought the metal from a toolsteel scrap business. He happened to have a 3/16" thick peice of O1 laying around and I adapted my design to the metal I found. If you are in the US or in europe you can find them online ground flat, which saves you a lot of work too.

Tulio, Beleza? Cara, a lima se chama "lima chata bastarda" em português. É fácil de achar. Sugiro comprar uma boa lima, como a Nicholson. Limas baratas geralmente são cementadas e o fio delas não dura muito. O forno para o endurecimento da lâmina pode ser feito com um maçarico de acender churrasqueira (procura maçarico lança chamas botijão de gás no google que aparece) e alguns tijolos. Se usar refratário, melhor ainda. Aquecer até que um imã não grude mais no aço e mergulhar em óleo (pode ser de carro usado ou óleo de cozinha). Depois é bom testar com a lima para ver se endureceu. Se tiver boa, a lima vai deslizar na borda da faca. Aí coloca ela no forno de cozinha ou elétrico a 200 graus por 2 horas. Pronto!
