It's a true One Day Build! Adam recreates the iconic Bowie knife used by Brad Pitt's Aldo Raine from Inglourious Basterds, using the same materials that a prop maker on set would have used to make the original. Taking a screen accurate blade blank, Adam embeds it in an elk bone handle and hammered brass guard and the result is better than he could have ever hoped!

Hi Adam, being the guy who made the knife for the movie I must say you did a pretty good job on this, especially as it took me a bit longer than one day :-D Actually inside the star on the back there is a carved relief of an Indian chief head and not a circle, and the crossguard proportions are a bit different on mine, but still, nice work!

I work in metal as my trade and make knives as a hobby and yeah what nathan said is right , its fairly common to give the the ol fast touch if it aint glowing or smokeing.

@j_edwards6075 2 года назад

Fantastic build Adam, that turned out brilliantly. As a knifemaker, and if I could offer a few tips of the trade. if I were to reconstruct this piece I would recess the ferrule into the antler to keep it as flush as possible. I understand this was a 1 day build process but for as close to 100% authenticity for a replica I would soak the blade in a strong vinegar bath for 48 hours to achieve that pitted and rusted patina finish. The brass would need an antique paste applied to darken and create the same appearance of the prop. I'm not sure what the US equivalent for jelly crystals would be but Aeroplane jelly's plethora of different coloured jelly crystals are one of the go-to's for dying antler, coffee works just as well staining the bone. It's very enjoyable seeing another craftsman at work and physically seeing the same thought processes I go through. Congratulations on the sexy blade mate!

@lalli8152 8 месяцев назад

@@2adamast In the movie Aldos knife is indeed with heavy patina. I guess since its not military knife he likely had it in his moon shining days for example, and some carbon steels gets patina fast. Especially if you cut food stuffs with them. Sometimes patina is like that it isnt same level all over the blade as well. One reason is if you use the knife what ever you cutting rubs on parts of the blade, and it affects patina then obviously also honing, and such. Its also picture, and that might effect how it looks. They obviously though artificially aged it, but i would say generally if knife is supposed to be used the patina shouldnt be too even for the prop

@jmklamm 2 года назад

Here’s a totally random question I bet Adam has given some thought to. When cutting a small piece out of a larger piece of stock (like the piece of brass for the guard), how do you decide where to take that material from? Do you try to keep a long edge in case a future project needs the length, or try to keep it square so it’s easy to store? I often think about this when cutting up leather hides, and sometimes regret a previous decision.

@M19pickles 2 года назад

I know I have heard him talk about how he decides but I don't remember what video it was or what exactly his advice was. I think it was that he tries to keep the piece as large as he can and that he tries to keep 1 factory edge to use as a reference but also tries to keep more then his "scrap" pieces around so that he does not have to stop working.

@MorningDusk7734 2 года назад

I would say, in my limited experience, that many people will have many answers to this question. It all depends on what you typically use that material for. If you want an answer that you're willing to wait for, write down what things force you to get a new piece of material, and the date you find yourself needing that new blank. After some time, you'll start to recognize the patterns of both what you should avoid, and potentially when to pre-order new material so you never run out. I did this in school for my notebooks, recognizing which subjects I needed less paper for, and I was better off for it.

@kbjerke Год назад

I sure know about "parallaxing" when attempting to replicate a project from a photograph or two. A few years ago I was on the team who determined the location of Every Single Rivet on the 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe from just a few grainy pictures, so that we could reproduce it accurately. Our result has been displayed around the world, and featured on Jay Leno's Garage twice. You faced a challenge well, Adam! Nice knife!

@jmalmsten 2 года назад

Tip for those thinking about lenses distorting reference photos The issue with lenses warping perspectives is somewhat mitigated by using longer lenses. As you go longer in lenses you move away from the subject, so the relative distance and angle towards each element in the frame is less. In CAD programs and 3D modeling this can be taken to extremes by using infinite distance and lens length with orthographic views. Yes no real world lens is perfect optically. But I would still opt to not use a wide angle (I usually love them, though) and instead try to go more telephoto when photographing something to be used for reference.

@barongerhardt 2 года назад

Instead of photographing on a flat background use a grid or some reference scales.

@Imugi007 2 года назад

@@barongerhardt yeah. This is a good idea, then when you're scaling it in Photoshop you can easily make sure the grid is scaled correctly. Good thinking!

@ZazuYen 2 года назад

Reminds me of a guy I knew who'd take reference photo's by putting the subject in his garage and then waking across the street onto his neighbors driveway so he could use a telephoto lens and flatten the perspective a bit. He'd do it at night so the sun wouldn't mess with the light settings. The neighbors thought he was weird but he got cheap orthographic photography :D.

@shiftonephoto Год назад

This is very true. 50mm is supposed to mimic what your eye would see and should have little distortion, if you go up to 200mm definitely won't have any distortion, the grid idea mentioned is also a very good idea so you can measure everything with photoshop and see if it is not taken dead on and can easily change it

@jmalmsten Год назад

@@shiftonephoto I have long heard that statement. That 50mm is close to what the eyes see... I however contest that vividly. I would say that 11mm on APS-C is probably closer to what I see field of view-wise. I have no clue what that would be on a 70mm 15 perf IMAX camera... 50mm on S35 is more or less tunnel-vision if applied to my eyes. I would add that a mm notation says nothing about an image taking device if we have no clue as to how big the sensor or film-plane is. And ignoring that, and assuming that the statement has moret to do with the distortion... pretty much any lens can have barrel-distortions or even pincusion-distortions. There are 11mm and wider lenses that are pretty much rectilinear but that brings about its own distortion for the edges that isn't like the bulging of a fish-eye. And improperly built telephotos can warp the image in their own way. Sorry... just a personal pet peeve of mine.

Adam, I was once a period fencer for the SCA and of course I purchased a fencing blade and all the necessary equipment. The regulation blade was a Schlaeger blade with a diamond cross-section, a bell guard and a wooden handle. Unfortunately the regulations for such blades are less tight than one might expect and so while it fit within the tolerances of the regulations, I have held schlaegers that were fast and maneuvable and I have what I got, which was a piece of re-bar. Needless to say it was slightly tip-heavy. To offset this I attached the largest, heaviest pommel I could purchase and decided to make a custom handle out of Jatoba, a south american ironwood. Days of work later (I don't have a shop) and I had to bore the hole for the tang to my blade. I had a friend in a university machine shop help me there and he bored the most perfect hole ever that would precisely fit the bolt end of the tang. I took it home to change handles only to discover that the tang must have been cut with a hand hacksaw and spent 2 hours with a tiny rattail file enlarging the perfectly round hole to accommodate this. I feel your pain.

Adam would have had to sand the antler in the shape and copied that shape to the brass to get that effect. I don't know how the original was made so I don't know which is more accurate..

@Antiganos 2 года назад

Like Zeteny Kalman already replied, you usually put the tang into the handle material first, and then drill through both at once and put the pin in. Keeps it all straightforward.

@davidmathieson8661 2 года назад

@@zetijeti having made a number of knives (note that I am not a knife maker by any means) yes a number of times I glued (epoxy) the handle to the tang first and then drilled the pin holes... I however did not anneal the tang first, this was a mistake, I literally melted my drill bit, got the holes I needed, costing me a drill bit was a fair trade at that point.

@blackoak4978 2 года назад

First step as he did would be to anneal the tang, then handle, then hole and pin. The issue he had was a non-standard grip, which could throw off the alignment and make him miss his mark on the tang. His solution was kinda risky though. He could have gone through the same steps, put the blade in the vise, zero on the pin location, then put on the handle, then drill through both afterwards. This would have gotten the alignment he wanted while also being more forgiving if the blade slipped a bit while he put the grip on. Also I do wish he had inset the ferrule, and maybe even pinned it(it could be made invisible). If he had taken some tinfoil, wrapped it around the handle and taped it, drawn the shape he wanted, and cut along the line with a hobby knife he would have had a template for the brass and also scored the antler in the right shape. From there sandpaper and files could have smoothed the antler down to allow for the brass inlay

A great video and an excellent result of a one day build. Regarding the deer antler, I can remember from when I was a scout (the scout movement) that cooking, cutting and grinding an antler smelled really bad. I worked with a cow ox antlers to make a so-called "viking" glass. It was a lot of work and I did not have proper tools either. However, the result was excellent and I got my mark on the scout shirt (some 40 years ago) :)

@brandiwynter 2 года назад

First off, absolutely LOVE you Adam and I'm a huge fan of crown stag bowies. I've just started the video and had to stop it to gather myself lol. Every time someone calls these a "bow-ee" as in David Bowie instead of "boo-ee" it makes me crawl in myself lol. I don't have any historical evidence to prove the correct pronunciation but here in the south, the land of Jim Bowie, it's "boo-ee". Not that it really matters but just a heads up. Now onto what will most certainly be one of my fave AS videos 😺 Edit: the whole time, I was wondering how you were going to line up the pin holes. That was a complicated but brilliant. How are your forging skills? They should do a celebrity edition Forged In Fire. That's a beautiful clone and beautiful job!

Adam - Skillfully done. I’ve made about 3 dozen knives over the past 10 years and know the difficulties you were up against. You used some novel techniques that I wouldn’t have thought of, but in the end, you made what you wanted. GOOD JOB ! I will remember your techniques for my future knife builds. Now you need to get some leather and make a good sheath. I suggest the thickest leather you can find. Cut (separately) the back, front and middle spacer then hot glue them together. Mark the holes for the waxed stitching thread with a fork to get equal distancing. The hot glue will allow you to drill each hole on your drill press. All you need is 1/32’ drill bit. There is too much friction on the needles without removing some leather before stitching. Then start saddle stitching, a 2-needle method, tighten thread every other stitching, it will hold. After the stitching use a razer knife and the sanding wheel to remove excess leather. At this point you will not see the hot glue, it’s job is done. Color the edge with a felt tip marker of your color choice. Finish by rubbing the edge with neutral/clear shoe wax and you are done. It should take less than a day if you got the materials. Every good knife is complemented by its sheath. In my eyes a knife build isn’t finished until the sheath is made. This is only a suggestion WTG, man Respectfully Ron Medcalf

I was thinking the same thing when he was going to the effort of aligning the pin. If this knife is never going to be used in a practical context (which it shouldn't, really) then the pins could just be faked. The tang inside the bone would be snug enough.

@ashedinthewoods 2 года назад

Hint: when fitting a tang like that into bone or wood, just heat the tang up while cooling the blade until it slightly glows and burn out the whole with the tang (pre-drilling of course makes this easier). It’s a great way to fit a tang in materials that burn and you can really get a nice and snug fit. 😊

@druid799 2 года назад

Problem with burn through fitting to antler and bone is you have to be VERY careful the tang doesn’t move forward or sideways as it’s very easy to move the tang too much as the core material is so soft and you can easily burn too big a hole compared to a wood handle burn through .

@coreymorse1347 2 года назад

That works, but what Adam did is the better way. If you burn the tang in you can end up with it just epoxied to soft charred wood/bone rather than the solid material. It will probably be good enough, most of the time, if it's pinned, but it's not really a best practice.

Looks like the brass on the handle should have been inlayed. So it was a smooth transition. Hopefully no one cuts their hand in the brass point.
