Very interesting ! After quenching, no oven with yellow on steel ?

Great video thanks for the tutelage!

I saw you were wearing a Florida Artist Blacksmith Association (FABA) t-shirt. The next conference is October 8-10, 2024 in Gainesville FL.

OK.... ALRIGHT...... Here's what i think.................... SOLD!!! Thanks!! & remember... never vote dem because u GO Woke-U- GO BRoke!!

Thanks for the video walter!

I have an idea for a folding multi tool survival pocket knife. That's why I'm watching your show. To pick up pointers on construction.

I like woodworking tools. Knives are great and all, but woodworking tools have so much variety to them.

Walter, thank you very much for the video! I personally prefer some explanations but this format is fine too. 🙂

Love these chisels. Why did you coat the bottom prior to the quench?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Looks like W1 has fallen out of favor for these chisels.

Hello Walter. Excellent video sir. Thank you. What steel are you using in the video? Which woods do you like for scabbards? Cheers!

Walter I love it!! I recently got your shadow II. It's a great knife and you made the sheath minimal and perfectly functional. One of my favorite shapes is the warncliffe shape. It's easy to sharpen, fine tip for intricate work, seems to be easier to manufacture. I would love it if you would try and tackle that in your style and to see how you'd make it. Please give it a try

Personally, I dont really have much interest in the modern stuff. I fell in love with good old-fashioned hammering away at hot metal as a child. I only recently plunged into actually doing it. I would only do the modern machinery method if orders were so back ordered that i actually needed them to finish the orders in a timely manner. But i prefer the beauty of being able to forge my own knives by hand. I just love the romance of it. I like it, and others are free to disagree, but i love old-fashioned Blacksmiths.

Thanks

Obligatory comment.

I guess I best not complain about the cost of buying a set of hollow ground screwdrivers. Much cheaper than making my own. The equipment he used is many thousands of dollars and one would need a shop to store it all.

Really great video. Thanks for making it.

It may have only been my back and ass, but I was in a Walter Sorrells video!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Best day of my life!!!

Before the knifemakers guild, a lot of knifemakers had "secret processes" often times these secret processes were wrong. They were detrimental to the custom knife business because a maker making inferior casts a shadow over other custom makers.

Woooooooo!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

I have a random question for you about micarta. Have you ever made larger tool handles with it, or would you? I have hand planes that I need to make new handles for, and I plan on having functional tools for daily use; I was thinking about making a micarta rear tote (rear handle) that ends up being about 4.5” tall overall, approximately 1.5” wide at the widest possible point, and has angled profile that contains a 65 degree hole for mounting. Overall, this handle is S shaped and the bar runs through the middle of the S and most handles tend to be busted on all the older planes directly across that area where the force meets; I suspect it is from dropping them on concrete, because something has to give, and the wood grain on the rosewood handles sits parallel to the body of the plane. So, would micarta be up to the task? Advisable? Would it have to be custom made from scratch, or could you buy premade sheets and laminate them?

Good looking knife. I use my Tactix Armory Agent for front pocket carry. Just had to swap out the clip on the sheath

20:1 water to ferric chloride. i like the slower process. may experiment with some vinegar. you sound like a very careful person so...mygreathanks and blessings

If the VFD was to start getting hot, cutting a hole in each side of the enclosure and then putting some filter material in one and a filtered fan made for a PC enclosure in the other would solve the issue for sure and could probably be done for under $40 if you looked around a bit.

So is this only applicable to cnc design?? Because I don’t see the need for a computer at all designing knives.

If your doing production this is good info. I do one off commission knives and graph paper beats sitting at a computer any day!

What is the song and what is the container used to clean off the lemon?

awesome 👏👏👏

Thanks Walter

I’d sell every piece of equipment in my shop before running one of these machines in my studio.

You are mispronouncing homogeneous

With knowing through investigation most knives end up cutting the stabber. Make me a duty knife that won’t do that!!!!

Why not water jet?

For video recommend using a Sony Alpha camera which has world class autofocus AI that will lock onto your closest eye.

Hi Walter, can you do a video of how to grind scallops in a chef knife ? I can't find a single RUclips video on it

if you solder infront the bolster you don't use epoxie just the pinning?

Why is dude so negative? It is possible to give advice without shitting all over his peers. Just saying 😅

beautiful knife

Hello sir, I am interested in purchasing a knife like the one I made in this video, and I want to buy one. How much does it cost? Greetings.

Yeah man. Machine fixtures are the most fun part of the game. I worked in a machine shop for a while, my own home shop is just a manual mill but still, trying to figure out how to hold things and the process is half the work (fun).

Neat video. Thanks. When I tried using a computer to draw knives, all I got were shapes that looked like bananas. I have to use graph paper and French curves to make a knife drawing.

You will always have my support on this channel

Any knife makers out there who are comfortable with CAD, consider buying a cheap 3D printer. You can get a useable one for less than $200 or an excellent one for less than $1000. I have a $99 3D printer and some CAD knowledge, so I can 3D print for rapid prototyping. It’s a MAJOR time saver. Designing a new knife is probably my favorite aspect of knife making, and the printer makes it so much more quick and easy.

Nah, l'm a blacksmith. We don't waste cash online

are your ears the result of freestyle wrestling?

When will "The World's Ugliest Knife" be available? 😁

Fascinating video. Thank you!

I like the concept of a fixed blade pocket knife, for daily tasks....
