As the son of two WWII era Marines, one who separated when she had me, the other who stayed in to be commissioned a Warrant, them a 23 year career, I sat in slack-jawed, rapt attention thru every step of your meticulous construction pf such a fine and wonderful thing! I was then bitterly disappointed to see no sheath... Anyhow, congratulations on a gorgeous build!

Thank you for watching and your kind words sir! I have the greatest respect for all the men and women who served and still serves in Armed and Police forces around the world. I love studying WWII history, hence me making these knives. I do apologise for not including a sheath...that would be a separate video. I promise I will post one soon. Keep well!

@zeemanknives 3 года назад

Personally I don't think a fuller makes that much of a difference on smaller knives, maybe just add to the aesthetic value if you prefer something like that, but I definitely see the added benefits on larger swords. Thank you for watching and the kind words. Keep well!

@QuantumMechanic_88 3 года назад

@@zeemanknives I'd like to know your thoughts about a fuller on swords . Proponents for the fuller say the blade is easier to extract after a stab as it relieves the "vacuum pressure " during extraction . Have a great year and I will be looking forward to your latest .

@zeemanknives 3 года назад

@@QuantumMechanic_88 I know that is a popular theory doing the rounds. I have never tested anything like this, so I don't know if there is any truth to it. But most of the professional Sword Smiths agree that that a fuller on a long sword blade reduces weight and ads structural integrity.

@ramiabiakar2391 3 года назад

@@QuantumMechanic_88 The fuller emulates an I beam. It allows to sacrifice weight without strength. Difficulties in extracting a sword following a stab come from contact with bone, not vacuum.

@johngeddes7894 8 месяцев назад

I read a long article about Ka-Bar Knife Co. That knife was originally a hunting knife, dating back to the late ‘20s. It was not the first choice of the armed services. They tried to approximate an ad hoc Fairbain dagger, and the Marine Raiders tested it in combat. The fact that they were made of sheet metal did not help with strength or rigidity, mostly breaking with any use of force. That’s when they approached Ka-Bar with supplying their knife to the military. Camillus and a few other companies were also involved in the production in order to meet demands. My example is a Camillus from Vietnam era, or directly afterwards. 1095 steel at 59RC makes for what I feel is the last word in edge tools.

i like the fullers before you ground them out, i think they are too deep, your filing them was perfect

@zeemanknives 3 года назад

I agree...I liked the thinner fuller better for its aesthetic value, but (one of) the purpose(s) of a fuller being to reduce weight, I decided to make it bigger, since this is such a big thick blade. It also boils down to personal preference really. I used the depth of the thinner fullers as a guide, so the bigger fuller is not really deeper...I just widened it. For what this knife is, a hard working knife, the wider fullers will serve its purpose. I will definitly try the thinner fuller with my upcoming dagger project.

Really enjoyed the video a lot! The knife is great and the video is great! My only unsolicited advice 😁 would be to use the actual sounds of you using the tools and working on the knife instead of music. The music itself is fine - it's not that I don't like the music. I just think the experience is more immersive with the actual sounds of the work being done - even if it's sped up.

@zeemanknives 3 года назад

Thank you for the feedback...Yes, music is a controversial subject. I love the music...it helps to tell a story, but I understand that people's tastes and opinions differ...and that is fine, that is why we are human. You will see in my last two projects I faded away from music, and introduced the working sounds and commentaries. Thank you for watching and keep well!

That is another way to do it...many different ways to go about it. It don't generally like using heavy electrical tools for fine jobs...chances are too great for messing up your work. If you feel confident with a grinder, then nothing stops you from doing it that way...I have seen many knife makers getting good results using a grinder for the fullers....but then again, also many hours of works wasted when that grinder slips and grinds of course...

Amazingly beautiful knife! Dunno what kind of nutjob would dislike this. how long would you leave it in vinegar to get a finish like that? Also roughing out the shape of the leather stack with a sharp knife before sanding will make it much easier and give you a better finish.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I suppose the one beautiful aspect of being human is to like and dislike stuff...hence I made peace with the fact that you can never keep everyone happy...but I'll try anyway :). Im using a strong Ferric Chloride mix, so I only need to leave it in the mixture for about 5 minutes...so I assume that vinegar will take somewhat longer...about 30 minutes. But different metals will also react differently depending on carbon content and hardness...so it's never really an exact science. Thank you for the leather stack tip, I'll try it out with the next build. Keep well!

Thanks for replying! I only needed a rough idea, I hope the tip helps. You too!

What steel did you use?

@zeemanknives 3 года назад

The blade and pommel is made from 5mm thick 5160 steel, the guard from 3,5mm 1070 steel

Amazing video!! Amazing production, great lighting, editing, the music and music transitions were smooth and simply excellent!! Seriously great work! Very impressed! Question for you, How would you feel about making a fighting knife like this one, but using 80CrV2 and making it with a full tang?? From what I’ve been able to research, it seems that 80CrV2 is pretty much the toughest steel for making a knife but it’s still sharpenable. I saw that Medford makes a knife called the “Fighter” which is basically a Full tang version of the KaBar but they use a different steel called S35VN bla bla.. What are your thoughts? Again, really impressed with what you did here! You definitely took the time and make a very solid knife and video!! Myles- 👍🏼😊👍🏼

Thank you Myles. Well, to give you the "all in a nutshell" answer, I would not mind at all to use 80CrV2. I like to use different steels and test the results. There are however always factors to consider. The first one is availability. We have a bunch of different steels available in South Africa, but not always in the thickness you need it. The majority of the "exotic" steels only come in thicknesses of 3-4mm, where 5160 you can get from 3 through to 8mm. These knives I make work really well with a 5-6mm steel. Then there is of course the price factor...where "exotic" steel in 6mm thickness are easily 3 - 4 x the price of 5160. Not that it is problem, but it obviously pushes the price of the knife. Then there is ease of heat treatment...many steels need very specialised heat treatment procedures to achieve its maximum potential, which will be a waste if you do not have access to the right equipment (Kilns, Cryo Treatment etc.). Then lastly how does the steel react to heat treatment. I found that with 5160, if you quench the blade, only the blade hardens, leaving the tang soft to peen over at the pommel end, where with N690 steel, even if you only quench the blade, the tang hardens to a point where the steel breaks as you try to peen it...which then means different manufacturing methods to solve that problem. These are some of the questions I have to ask myself. I have never worked with 80Crv2 before, but would like to try it at some stage. Hope this answers your questions.

Interesting! I do know that Daniel of Winkler knives employs some sort of salt heat treatment and somehow it pulls the oxygen away from the process and he says it make the 80CrV2 much stronger than basic treatments but I would like to find out more about how it works etc! 😊

@@MylesDavid Heat treatment alone is a science and craft on its own. I know I only show the very basic heat treatment in my videos, but there is so much more to it in reality. If you understand the science and apply it properly, your knives will do amazing things.

@@zeemanknives Agreed! Well you seem to have a really solid grasp of it! That could be a really cool video to do, showing that process etc.
