As a veteran, I was even moved by your music selection. My grandfather fought in World War I in World War II and some in the Korean War and I do appreciate your honoring of our veterans and a beautifully made knife which I’d love to own and I’m an inspiring knife maker trying to teach my grandson how to do it which he loves forged in fire of course the TV show.

I like how this guy makes improvements in every step.from soldering the guard, to tapering the tang. We need an improved model of the pilot survival knife. Make it happen.

Thank you for the comment...yes i've been wanting to make a updated video of this for quite awhile now, as the build has evolved quite a bit since I made this video. Ill get to it someday. Are you referring to the Camillus pilot survival knife?

Hello my friend, i like your vids. Question at minute 22:42 you are rounding your handles. Do you you use a half-round file are a regular rectangle bastert!!
@zeemanknivesАй бұрын
Hi, i use a flat file on the handle, and a half round file in the rounded sections like the the finger choil and inside of the handle. I prefer medium cut files as bastard file can be aggresive and cause nasty scratches.

I have a question, can you gring already hardened steel with a file? I mean if ill buy blank of a knife, is it possible to remove big amount of material from hardened steel?
@zeemanknivesАй бұрын
Not with a hand file I'm afraid. You will blunt the file very quickly without much progress if the steel is hardened already. A belt grinder will be a better option in that regards, or you can anneal the blank and re-harden after filing.

That is a great video, I value your tutorials and learn so much from them! Could you please tell me what thickness (in metric) you like to leave on knife edge when doing bevels? Also, should I start process with coarse file for quicker removal then switch to a second cut file to finish, or, do you use same file for whole process, Thanks
@zeemanknives2 ай бұрын
Thank you for the comment. I try to get the edge to about 1mm before I heat treat. I used to start with a coarse file but I found that the deep file marks are very hard to remove...so nowadays I do everything with a medium cut file. The time "saved" by using coarse file is not really worth the time hand sanding afterwards.
@DougieNMySnuggy2 ай бұрын
i have the cheap HF 1x30 belt grinder. I've modified it to be more suitable for my knives. I've learned how to freehand bevels with it. I can make a decent looking knife with the crappy belt grinder. HOWEVER, knife making is therapeutic for me. And there's nothing more therapeutic than putting on some tunes, zoning out the rest of the world, and hand filing bevels.
@zeemanknives2 ай бұрын
Yes that is true...hand filing, and hand sanding tends to leave you to your thoughts. And, you learn to use the tools you have at hand. I remember when I first got my 2x72 belt grinder, I thought to myself now I am going to produce knives at a lightning pace, only to very quickly realize that freehand grinding is a skill that needs to learned, and no machine regardless of quality will teach you how to do that...it's still something that I sometimes don't get right....hand files on the other hand...you cannot go wrong with it...:)
