I would like to get into knife making but I had a few questions, first off what is the tool at 4:13 called and what is the liquid at 8:47 called and what is it used for

@Koss-channel 5 жыл бұрын

this is bevel jig , help to ajust angle of the blade during grinding. you can see process of it creation in this video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rN9ji6Rel92dXWQ.html the liquid is ferric chloride

@danielrossberg5388 5 жыл бұрын

Koss thanks so much and is the ferris chloride what gives it the the nice matte finish

@TechnoMasterBoy 5 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure ferris chloride is some type of acid, which people often use to bring out the pattern from the metal, especially with damascus steel. But then again, I didn't do chemistry classes or make knives all that much. Haven't even finished my first knife and it's taken like a year lol. Mostly due to though lazyness.

They seem to use ferric chloride for etching. Man-at-arms videos explain this. They are blacksmiths so they forge most of their blades though.

Man, cutting the handle and scabbard are the same time is next level genius. I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone do that before! What a Time saver! After adding the dark stain you should back sand it with 1,000 and then 000 steel wool. Then finalize with tongue oil. It will give the wood more color flash. Killer work man!

Nicely looking tanto, like it. I would love to have one. But there was no hardening, no tempering after burning the blade edge with the diamond cutter and the belt sander. This knife would never keep its sharpness. Well, if you made it for putting it into a glass cabinet, the problems above don't matter. Again, looks great.

Koss, that is a very beautiful modern interpretation of Japanese tanto. Now, I am in the middle of making a tanto myself, and I have a question: While I might not follow some of your steps, how fit was the saya or scabbard that you made? I mean, the Japanese sword in general have this habaki or metal copper on the blade that gives the blade a snug fit all the time, and yours does not have any habaki. Will your blade become a bit loose over time? As I said before, that is a very beautiful tanto (especially the square-ish scabbard and hilt which I really really love), and yours serves as a template for my tanto project. Keep up the good work, Koss. P.S. You used ferric chloride etching, yes?

Really like this knife, great job! But I wonder about that sheath/scabbard maintaining its retention over time. Seems like the epoxied layers would pry apart pretty easily with nothing mechanically holding them together.

@kaptein1247 6 жыл бұрын

@freezeysketches2526 6 жыл бұрын

Just a heads up that’s epoxy, it’s not gonna come off at all

@LastBastian 6 жыл бұрын

Guys, I make knives, and though good epoxy is pretty strong, there is a reason most knives *also* have pins, bolts, screws, etc to provide an additional mechanical means of holding handles and scales together. Its because if you don't, the scales have a tendency to shear right off under stress or hard use. Also, you are generally not actively prying on the handle, yet the way this style of sheath/scabbard works is through tension. Every time you insert the knife, you are basically prying that sheath apart. Epoxy will give eventually. That is why most sheaths/scabbards of this style are capped with a sort of metal band to prevent this.

@robertphillips9360 6 жыл бұрын

Bastian have you tried pulling epoxied pieces apart? Like with good epoxy? It's hard as shit dude

@LastBastian 6 жыл бұрын

Umbra, sure. I use the good stuff, West System slow cure, and GFlex. And I have had scales separate from the tang on their own. Again, there is a reason 99% of good knife makers use mechanical means *in addition* to epoxy. If epoxy were that great by itself, there would be no need. ....but that isn't the case *most of the time,* unless you are making a decorative blade, or light use kind of thing.

Which is a pointless statement as he used tooling on it which effectively softens the metal. Tool steel holds a decent hardness, but grinding and sanding it removes that. The proper thing to do would have been to retreat it.

Yeah ultimately it just depends on what look you’re going for. Sometimes I do 600, sometimes 1000, and then sometimes as low as 120.

Kalpajyoti Borah is right. They look awesome but don’t have the right temper or treating to hold a significant edge. When you just cut out metal instead of forging you’re at the mercy of the metals grain structure. Not good for any real working knives.
