The Micarta is the powerhouse of the cell....

Your knife making skills came a long way. I would be proud to own one of your knives. You should also consider making a logo to stamp on your blades. Keep up the good work bro.

That patten came out nice! That what I love about micarta, you can make cool pattern handle scales without too much effort.

Finally a video that doesn't use a bunch of fancy, complicated molds! I've had some learning to do with my micarta work. and have been looking for a better way. "I was thinking why not use some ziplock bags?" Then I came across this video! Thanks.

So glad you made a video on micarta, when you first made a knife with micarta I thought it was so sick but I had no idea what it was or how you did it. I'm fr so thankful you did a vid on it cause now I can go and make some myself. Keep up with the great content👍

Good to see another post from you keep up the great work!

Thanks for sharing. Love that big chopper!

Damn dude all the knives look so good. My favorite handle is the yellowish coloured one but my favorite blade is the last one you showed the bigger one 👌🏻👌🏻

Keep up the awesome workmanship there looking awesome mate

I have tried so many times to get one of your knives and they sell so quick

Dude that mycarta stuff looks super dope. Man id love to use that material for some projects. Super dope idea.

Damn dude, you’re getting really good at this!

Finally videos i can watch full screen on note 8 thanks dan !!!

Your knives look really good bro good job

Amazing job man!

Dan you’re really good at this! Keep it up man!! Also I agree you should make a small logo to put on your handles or stamp into the knife 🔪!!!

Haha oh dan we love you. Let this sit for a few hours... it’s been about 6 days Hahahaha. Glad to see you back!

I was today years old when I found out that you had a knife / forging channel. Now I really want to get into it. As well as get my bike back running.

Your getting really good dan

I’m so ready for this

Nice video man, it's inspired me to make my own micarta on my knives

Love the vid man keep up the good work

Dan, great work once again. You are kicking it mate. Now I gotta say two thumbs down clearly these idiots don’t deserve thumbs. You are doing it, inspiring us , teaching us keep it up brother

:patiently waiting:

That's some sweet cutlery, I still want that rhino! That thing is bad ass

That american handle was fucking sick. Keep up the good work dan. You've come a long way.

When you’re dremmeling out those notches in the handles, do you follow any particular pattern or just put them wherever? They come out great!

With West System, the Slow Cure hardener will cure clear. How the resin cures, i.e., colored, is determined by the resin. I use a epoxy and polyester and get clear finishes, depending on the hardener for epoxy and the resin if polyester.

Dude, I can’t even remember how I found you but I love your content man.

Another decent place to get lots of cloth is if you have any old towels or sheets that you don't need, surprising amount of useable cloth out of those. I will advocate for paper micarta though, it works really well as well, just depends on the resin used. Also I'd recommend construction paper for that. EDIT: Also if it helps, unless you edited it really seamlessly you used one pump too much hardener on the faux ivory one. That also could have caused some discoloration.

Nice man!

I hope he's not getting burnt out on KZfaq

I'm not sure if it's possible but bullet casings or projectiles in the resin? That would be cool.

total boat resin also does the 1 pump mix as well

Hi love your videos something really cool and challenging you could make would be a sword you could move the fire bricks out of the way to heat different parts

Raw denim scales! That might look pretty cool.

Subbed 👍 awesome blades

Have you thought about using vacuum or pressure chambers? I've seen videos showing how vacuum chambers can remove the bubble/voids and using a pressure chamber helps make the Micarta even harder.

West systems is "boat repair" resin. The darker colored fiberglass resin is polyester. Epoxy is typically stronger than polyester.

Still loving the Hellsing abridged references :) to finish yours in this vid "Now put me on a plane so I can put them in a hearse!"

Nice Dan I'd love to see a micarta knife handle made out of like dark swamp wood with glow in the dark resin to make a somewhat skyrim-like fantasy. Idk i saw a vid of a ring maker that made a ring out of that and it looked fucking cool.

Miss you Dan

Hello, I love the video, I have to ask is there any benefits or drawbacks to the mircarta?

Ddaaammnnn Daniel, you knife making skills have improved dramatically!! Why do they have those black pits in certain parts of the blade? Is that from like over-hammering? Or intentional?

Not sure what your plans are, but it would be cool to see you try and make a folding knife. Could be an extra challenge (I have no clue though, I have no experience with knife making lol)

I use a cinder block for a form that small.

Hey *DanMade* , I saw in your last Khanjar wrench vid that you tend to prefer to give your blades a very high mirrored polish: have you considered nitre bluing them? With a polish that high you can get really striking color finishes which also protect against corrosion. It's also a fairly easy process to do if you're attentive.

You need some mold release film for composite making. If you know any airframe mechanics, I bet they would hook ya up.

I did some DIY Micarta using Gorilla Glue Clear and canvas. It came out like a rubberized testure. I did a video on my channel. Ill admit I have no idea what Im doing it was just something for fun. Id be interested to know if anyone else has used Gorilla Glue Clear or to see someone who has a better know how do it. Great Video!

The one with sparkles might turn out better with a pearlescent additive

You should make a symbol to put on all of your finished works. (A punch to be able to put on steel)

Have you ever thought of leather work. Like making wallets and stuff like that? Just thought I would suggest and idea.

How do you get ur knifes so sharp?

is it possible to make a micarta with a premade hole for the full tang to fit in? I can't find a drill bit that is long enough to go through any handle material that i need for my current project. is it possible to just for example insert a piece of wood (covered with wax paper)which is about the thickness of the tang in the middle of the micarta material?

Would a mold help with making it thicker and get less air bubbles keep it from spreading out

Hey Dan I work at East Texas flying service and I have a few plane/helicopter engine/transmission parts that are condemned so they will be trashed do you want then to try to make a knife out of any of it????

Nice

Love the vids and first

Please bring the knives back

If you do that alot it might be helpful to weigh the material and then the resin. Then you can duplicate it on later.

Red white and blue micarta reminds me of Aquafresh toothpaste more than anything.

More knife shit Hell yeah

dan please bring this channel back sometime

back in school I knew a kid named Mike Arta - maybe he invented this stuff

So basically a pewdiepie micarta handle

2020 plz make more knives videos

What has that wing always been on the camaro?

Hi what kind of oil you used on handle to be shiny

Hey bloke I loved your process to make the micarta and the cleaver red and black handles were fantastic but the other ones why not make the Handel comfortable

Been a long time since we’ve seen you post. Planing on making anything new?

You should do forged in fire the t.v. show

We might make shit like we broke but work smarter not harder💀😂

Am I the only one who had OCD and kept thinking there was a puddle of water on his desk? Gah

You sell those?

Dan do you think you could take a payment for making a knife Handel

Do u sell these?

Where did this guy go? I just checked and last time he uploaded video was 3 years ago. Hope he is doing fine. He had a quality content.

sir its been over a year... we are waiting

Well that's some "Dandy" handle making..

I like the black and red .....rhino be sick just white and grey gold dust messed wit it

Sad there hasnt been any uploads in over a year

did you stop making knifes or just videos??

could this be done with Florescent colored yarn

Keep forgetting this is still Dan so I was like "I wonder if Do it with Dan can do this on the new channel better than this old guy"

Ok guys let’s make some mike-hard-ah

Is carbon fiber a micarta?

Dan what happened with driving your motorcycle 🤧

Fuckin decent

hi dan

Hi dan

Why am I just finding out about this channel? Is there any others besides this one, DIWD, and HooliganPlayground? If you are hiding a gun channel from us, I will be upset.
