Making a Chisel Knife - inspired by the Mora & kiridashi knives 

If you are interested in the tools used in this video: www.thesmallworkshop.com/my-tools/ The pattern of this knife is available for my patrons: bit.ly/2txdMC1 This knife was inspired by the Morakniv chisel knife: bit.ly/2tNoQGh

"Looks weird" I think it looks brilliant. Two tools in one :)

It sure may seem like a strange shape and all, but as a carpenter's apprentice, I can't count all the times I've had use for a chisel knife. I'm sure this knife will serve you well.

a friday, its payday, pizza hut, and to make it perfect the small workshop notification pops up life is good

I tried to use it as a shaver but now I just have a chiseled jawline.

Nicely done through I do see one thing lacking .... your MAKERS MARK if I owned one of your projects i would be proud to show them who made it !

I like how you used the knife you're making to facilitate the knife you're making.

Wow this is a great example of form and function combined in a single item! I love the design and the process was well done too. One thing you might want to try when using reclaimed steel is to use spot annealing to soften areas that you want to drill into. Simply submerge the part(s) you want to keep tempered and heat the area you want to anneal.

No music, just the simple sound of hard work

Splendid shape, craft... And result ! Love it 😍

Bravo!!! You are the first person to make these things and you water cool them on each pass of the grinder.

Wonderful, as always!

One of the most original knife builds I've seen in a great while! Thank you for a great idea - and a very nice video!

That handle looks perfect for a filet knife!

The perfect gift to give a cabinet maker! building one asap!

Sir, you are brilliant! I watched both of your video's with drill turned into an awl and now this chisel/knife.. Very creative and enjoyable to watch.

The dedication abd attention to detail you put in these videos and the stuff you come up with is just breathtaking. Amazing! Keep up the good work.

I am thinking of making one like this only bigger more of a small Froe with chisel end like yours for battoning wood to spilt down or chiseling off knots on a branch I think froeshisel would be a good name

That’s the most adorable table saw I’ve ever seen. Knife turned out amazing!! I’m gonna attempt this, thanks for posting!!

That’s a beautiful little tool you’ve made there. That’s the kind of blade you can use everyday for one thing or another. Great job. Thank you.

I actually like how it looks

Here I am at 5 in the morning and I haven’t slept at all tonight. I’m in my last year of college and it’s finals week. And instead of sleeping or studying, I’ve been binge watching RU-vid vids all night and stumbled across your channel. I’m addicted now because watching these reminds me of when I was in elementary school (I’ll be 25 in July) and watching my poppy (grandad) in his workshop. He served in WW2 in the navy, and in his spare time learned how to do this kind of stuff. It became a hobby that he loved. A few years before he passed away in 2013 he made a couple of bookcases, a hat rack, and a cabinet for my bday and painted them blue. I still have them in my room. I hope to learn how to do this some day to be able to do what he did. And also because Ron Swanson is my favorite Parks and Rec character lol.

I really like how you left that back metal exposed so who could still hammer on the back part for chisel use and not worry about hitting the wood scales and having them pop off. Very nice.

I watch anything you can think of and this is my new favorite channel

Love this project! That is a large planner blade! :) Added to my future to do list!!!

It's like a dovetail chisel and an american tanto knife had a baby!

Just what I need for cleaning up dovetails. So far, all of your videos that I've watched are inspiring. I'm glad that I came across your channel.

That mini table saw is freaking adorable, love it

Great video, I subscribed! 👍👍👍👍👍

man! if you dont already, you should sell these. small batch style, you could probably make awesome money from the specialty aspect alone!

Really Cool! you've inspired me to try my hand at making a knife or chisel knife! I was sort of under the impression that you needed all kinds of tools and jigs to get started. All I really have is a bench grinder, hand belt sander, drill press and rotary tool, etc. Really cool to see you make this with common tools!

One of the best knife making videos I have seen on RU-vid so far.

Great project. Two questions for you, how well did the epoxied on scales hold up and did the softening of the butt work.

Awesome!

You continue to amaze me with your ingenuity, creativity, and craftsmanship. Well done, sir!

I love it. Brilliant. Great idea and people say when something is so simple but so versatile "why has nobody thought of this before"? Cool.

the elephant watering can takes the prize :'D

5:58 uses the knife chisel he’s making to make the knife chisel.

Great detailed video. Your use of kant-twist clamps highlights your depth of machining knowledge.

Nu m-as fi gandit nici in ruptul capului ca esti roman. Felicitari pentru munca depusa!

Really nice job, nice Blade, but you should not touch the mettal you just degreased with bare hands, everything else was really inspirating.

Un like pentru borcanul de bulion!!! #Romania

Nice knife! Gave a try at something similar after this and very much enjoyed what I ended up with!! Much thanks and well done!

Wow this guy is so good at these stuff

This chisel knife is so sexy !

you could shave with it

Very cool, that looks like a super useful tool. I have one similar but with a more chisel type handle from a big box store and can see this being much nicer to use.

small chisel is very good for delicated jobs, amazing man congrats

That's a terrible knife and the hammer is too, send them both to me for immediate destruction (pack them well so they don't get damaged) :)

That thing is gorgeous, looks pretty handy too!

I love your videos,you have so much equipment, its all so interesting, and it also make me stress down watching this. Thank you

That is just incredible, start to finish absolute class. Very well done.

That is a very versatile and unique tool ! It's the perfect size too. I'm inspired !

I loved seeing all the uses at the end. Some of your videos lack you demoing the tool. This was awesome!

Ive watched two videos now i cant stop

This is so satisfying to watch and it calms my anxiety

I do not think it looks weird, I absolute love it!

Very excellent work! My father and I are both tinkerers and we tend to use a lot of homemade/modified tools. As such, we had started making cutting/marking/chisels out of old files in which I suggested to him of making something very much like this with the chisel cut blade both side and end. Also mentioned to him that if we ever used a broken file we could even leave the one top side and surface(away from the cutting sides) as files just to have that as an added feature. I will share this video with him for reference. Thank you!

That knife was insane! Awesome!

Gorgeous, perfect, absolutely beatyful!

The best Craft tool, i ever see, congrats!

A knife like that would be incredibly useful as a supplement to a standard camp knife for bushcraft. Gives me *ideas*

You know, it's really beautiful. I wish I knew better words to express my admiration. This is only type on a page & doesn't show how much it's really worth, far from it. Everything that you have done & learned up to this point, shines through how you do & what you do. Refined technical skill like this is a joy to behold. And in the end, the best I have to offer is, "thank you?" There's no way knowing if you will ever even see this either. Anyway, thank you.

I've never seen so much effort put into a knife creation on RU-vid. I think I'll have to make a chisel knife.

It looks so cool and pretty practical too.

Awesome tool. I love my chisel, and use it just like you have shown (and more), but I bet your handle greatly increases precision during delicate tasks. Thumbs up.

That looks SO badass! Reminds me of a japanese straight razor. Excellent work!

Made exactly the same concept alive some time ago, It was the best build site edc I ever had.

Great idea and execution!

Thanks for adding this great project!

I love the idea and your unique design.

It looks so proper, very clean. Nice job!

Como sempre....SHOW de competência! Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos.

Nice work! I really like the design of that, especially the shape of the handle.

I really am quite fond of this design. I will be trying a similar design once I get into knife making

i super dig the chisel action, the striker on the pommel is decent, the edges are nicely done. great lil shop knife!

It doesn't look weird at all. Awesome build mate

Very nice. I suppose I need to make a few in different sizes. Just like a set of chisels. Really nice design and nice work. Thanks for putting this up.

I made one of those about a year ago and it's my go to tool for lots of things great job 👍❤️🇬🇧

it took me a sec to realise what you wore doing at the start with the grind then water and repeat. thats genius!

Another absolutely beautiful creation ! Love it ... I really like how you use a lot of things that would other wise end up in the trash or scrap bin ... great job !

This is one of the coolest shop knives I have seen, your craftsmanship is excellent and has earned you 1 new Sub. Keep it up.

I dont know why this is so satisfying

Very interesting. I was not sure about the design, but I agree it does appear to be very versatile. Nice job.

This is a sweet little blade. Liked the concern about losing its hardness and keeping it wet, therefore cold. Niiiiice...

such a pretty tool you made sir, it made me smile

That's just AWSOME bub. Going to have to make one for sure.

I would love to have a left and right version of this chisel/ knife. What a great tool!!!

Incredible! I drew this exact blade design onto an old file this morning (10/02/2018) and now i see your vid. Great, now i know it is worth while doing. Thanks, you have a new subscriber.

Wow. Thats a sick blade

I’m glad I came across this video. I’m about to change out blades on the planer. I may give it a go

Really great looking knife! I'm gonna try to make one of these before I go off to college

Your really good at doing this kind of stuff and I really mean it

That's awesome! I wish I had a workshop to make things like this.

wow completely impressed! just beautiful!

simple but elegant and versatile and sturdy as frig, all thumbs up here.

What a beautiful job!!

Thats a good tool and well done.....

This is a beautiful tool, I have a friend who does custom wood work, this would be a great addition to his set

What a great knife!
