How to make a ballistic knife in 10 seconds: CNC knifemaking

So cool to see the learning process in another shop! Thanks for sharing! I use all kinds of carbide and it all seems to cut about the same.

Your tools and skills are amazing. Failures are just learning.

Your CnC went full spastic. Try looking up "Gough Customs" on RU-vid. Another excellent knife maker from Canada, uses and talks CnC.

I like your videos. This is "cutting edge" technology. I've never seen it done but I've sometimes wondered whether it is possible to machine steel while hot. E.g. cut the steel with the steel around 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously, the steel is much softer that way. You would not be using water to cool it. Heating element such as tungsten or induction heating would be keeping the steel hot. The main issue that I see is that your carbide bits would be snapping off.

You should make a left hand Bevel on some as a person who is left handed that would be a cool option.

Whats the cnc machine again, a conversion or a actual cnc? Stepper driven? Could have lost steps or got some magnetic interference in the signal wires

Awesome progression, that shape knife looks great 💪🏽

My guess is the tool pulled out of the holder, or yanked the knife out of the fixture. Hard to say without seeing it immediately after the incident.

Either missed steps in Z or bugs in Mach3. You might write some gcode to just do rapid movements in z repeatedly for a few hundred times and see if the machine ends up back at the original spot.

Glad you didn't get hurt or damaged something seriously, besides the blank. Beautiful knives, though!

Great video !!! A little inside scoop on CNC. Knives look sexy !!!

Great video. Keep improving Dom! We want to see more videos like this.

When weird things happen, you have to give the little goblin inside the machine, a litter snack and let it rest for a few min...

Hey, I’ve got a Robi angle grinder...... I just lack every other bit of machinery you have, as well as having no skills or experience.... guess I’ll keep buying blades. ps, when you heat treat, you’re clamping the blade afterwards. Normal temp. or cooled plates? I thought you had to quench in oil or similar?

I think your end mill holder got lose and then on one of the cuts your end mill was pulled out of the collet. But your cnc still made the next linkige toolpath to the top and draged the end mill through the whole blade

Fun seeing an australian use swedish sundström respirator. :)

can you hypothetically make a dagger if the other bevel isn't sharpened?

Ghost in the machine...

Where does the ten seconds part come in? Lol

Can't own a dagger? Gez... That's ridiculous...

I wanna buy one 🥺

No wonder my supplier was almost out of 4mm endmills turns out you bought them all. Haha

I get all my DB knifes from AliExpress. Very good quality knifes and cheap price. You know you succeeded when your product appears on the Chinese market!

Isn't there more business in making chefs knives?

How in any way is this in 10 seconds? Seriously curious bruh wtf

Sounds like ya CNC PSU has barnacles in it.

I am mad at my government for making this illegal

Ill buy that one for 75% off

Aren’t people fickle?? I absolutely love your knives but I would not want one made by cnc... I do hope that your custom works still are hand made
