Making a spoon carving knife from an old planer blade

I've never made a hook-shaped knife or even used one for that matter. I have a bunch of planer blades that are no longer suitable to planing wood and figured I'd see if I could make a knife for hollowing out the bowl of a spoon. This project was actually easier than I thought it would be. Enjoy.

Another great video, almost therapeutic. I really enjoy seeing a variety of different types of cutlery being made. 👍

What a great idea to use a planner blade to make a spoon knife. I will be definitely doing this. Thanks so much

@chrisosh9574 3 года назад

A beautiful job with good relaxing music. I made myself some kind of hook knives from 10mm, 13mm and 22mm ring spanners ( wrenches), just ground out the inner and then edged the outer part all the way round. After, I had the idea to make another with a 16mm and then angled the ring over at 30° from straight so that I can draw cut from a deeper bowl.

@JohnFleshman 3 года назад

The first three knives I made were from planer blades from a lumber mill. I was able to make full tang knives with no forging just material removal. I wish I could find more of them for free like the first 2 planer blades but I live hundreds of miles from there now and the friend who hooked me up has since passed away.

@Simplelittlelife 3 года назад

That was a sweet deal! Sorry to hear about your friend. Cheers👍

@sikamoreify 3 года назад

I'm curious if you ever experience higher warping potential right at your quench line? I've noticed over the time of watching your videos for the past year that you don't always fully quench the handle, in this case in particular with such thin steel I would almost certainly anticipate a warp where the handle didn't hit the quench. Any thoughts or tips on avoiding this? I'll even get them sometimes on the very tip of my handle that either doesn't make it entirely in the quench or hits a little later so it has already cooled a bit before reaching the quench. I think this all just comes with practice but wanted to get your thoughts on it. Thanks for all of your inspiration and education!

@512banana1 3 месяца назад

Not so sharp, love the process thou 😊

@timothyplumley8316 3 года назад

Nice work and video. How many times did you have to do the annealing process? I know those blades are super hard

@Simplelittlelife 3 года назад

Just once. My hardening process didn’t get it as hard as before the annealed it but it did hold the edge fairly well.

@badger67 3 года назад

@RonanRochford 3 года назад

Great work! The handle insert was a great idea! Do you think it will hold up with the epoxy or would it need a pin? Also would you sharpen both sides if you made it again or is there a reason that's not a good idea? Thanks for the video

@connorhart7597 Год назад

Hey Ronan, the bevel just being on the outside makes it much more difficult for the knife to nose dive while carving a spoon, kuksa, bowl etc. It's kinda the last tool oftentimes to touch the work, so it needs to be able to not easily gouge the wood when you're making the last cuts. As for sharpening in the future, you won't take the inside to a stone, you'll just hit the bevel, which leaves a burr on the inside. To get rid of that you'll use a piece of leather with buffing compound, and that'll polish the inside, get rid of that burr, and make the cutting edge that much finer. I kinda rambled but I hope this helps

@connorhart7597 Год назад

As for the first quest question, epoxy will hold up fine with the kind of work it'll be doing. Couldn't hurt to pin it, but its really not super necessary if that makes sense

@benraya9405 3 года назад

Got yo admit, didnt know it would turn out, just saw the result on IG

@Simplelittlelife 3 года назад

Hahaha, thanks. I didn't really think it would either but it's good enough for at least one spoon 😆👍

Did you build your forge yourself? If so what did you use? Do you have a vid on it? Great curved blade. Looks great, only thing I would add to mine if it were mine would be a hole at the end to hang it.

@suecollins3246 2 года назад

Shouldn't the blade be more curved than that?

@Simplelittlelife 2 года назад

No. There are many different sizes of these and some are even wider than this. This one works great for a general wooden spoon.

@petersmedley459 Год назад

Sue, do you mean across the blade rather than end to end, to make the cut through the wood smoother with less chatter? I was wondering about this (after watching Lee Stoffer modify a Mora spoon knife) but didn’t wish to sound churlish for the time, thought and effort put into this video, especially if I’d missed that element of the process.
