12 Inch Brisket Knife in 5160 High Carbon Steel. Full Build

Hey there, fellow blade enthusiasts! 🔪 Join me on this journey as I transform a raw piece of 5160 high carbon steel into a stunning 12" Brisket knife, meticulously crafted for precision and durability. As a small knife maker seeking growth, your support means the world to me!

In this video, witness the artistry of knife making unfold from the very beginning. I take you through the mesmerizing forging process, shaping the blade's overall form, and forging in the primary bevels, all the while creating a solid full tang handle for optimal grip.

The magic happens on the belt grinder, where I finesse the knife's profile and forge those bevels to perfection, progressing through multiple grits to achieve the final polished finish. Watch closely as I employ various grinder attachments, on the Revolution 2x72 belt grinder made by @HouseMadeUS ensuring every contour of the knife meets my exacting standards.

But the journey doesn't stop there! Dive into the intriguing world of acid etching with ferric chloride, revealing an exquisite, unique finish on the blade. I demonstrate the meticulous use of steel wool and metal buffing compound to ensure an even, lustrous result.

Follow along as I meticulously shape and attach handle scales to the full tang, bringing the knife to its final form. The anticipation builds as I unveil the sharpening process on the 2x72 belt grinder, methodically working through grits and perfecting the edge on a 2x72 leather stropping belt.

The climax? Witness the razor-sharp precision as I test the blade's sharpness on a cardboard papertowel core and effortlessly slice through a sheet of paper. If you're a knife enthusiast or appreciate the art of craftsmanship, this video is a must-watch!
