Nice version of an old wood working marking tool. For center finding on an edge I use an even older version. Take some flat stock drill a hole at the center of length through it's face. Then drill two holes either side of that center, equidistant. Put pins in those holes and scriber into center hole. Put the scriber to your working stock and twist the bar until the pins ride on the working stock. Slide it down your edge and instant center line.

For finding the center of the blade just take your best guess then scribe it.Then scribe from the other side of the blade.The center of the two lines will be your center. Just remember to make your guess close.

Hint for tool improvement: If you tap the brass scribe holder with a fine thread on the end away from the scribe as well, and put an appropriately sized nut on it, you will have either a repeatable stop for scribe position and/or a micro height adjustment.

Hi Walter, I started making knives because of you and I’m now working on my 7th blade. I decided to go with a forged Nessmuk style skinner. I love this tool you made and plan to make one tomorrow but while watching this video I began to wonder how I would use it, or any other method to find the center of my forged blank. I’m at the point where I’m ready to start grinding the bevels and just realized that I’m not sure exactly how to proceed. Any suggestions? Thanks

So you measure the thickness of the stock.......... then you adjust this extremely precise tool by hand. It isent set up like a digital caliper to be some what exact? Just use your eye and hand, is that correct? I mean that's a pretty big let down. You want a tool to help you find the true center line, so you buy this and then you do it by eye and hand. Unless I'm missing something, but like amazon this video really dosent show how it's used. So I'm trying to figure out if theres more to this than what I have figured on up above here.

You said the symmetrical grinds diminish the likelihood of warping during heat treating. But aren't a lot of Japanese knives ground with the bevel on one side only? That's about as asymmetrical as you can get. Do they always warp? How do they deal with warping?

Sam Harper Some knife makers heat treat and temper before doing the bevels. A chiesel grind would absolutly benefit from that technique.

They're usually done with an iron core so they when the blades inevitably warp, they just hammer it back to flat. Walter demonstrates this in his sushi knife video.

Walter, is sticking something to a brass rod, using a brass filler, soldering, brazing, or welding? I'm pretty sure that it isn't soldering, (although brazing 2 pieces of steel, IS soldering. (An adhesive bond.) Welding USUALLY involves steel, but wouldn't joining 2 pieces of brass? Sounds like welding, to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering steve
@WalterSorrellsBlades
7 жыл бұрын
In different trades, you'll find different answers to that questions. The general notion is that soldering is a low temperature operation (around 500F) and brazing is a higher temperature operation (typically above 900 F). In both cases, however, you're using a second (generally) dissimilar metal with a lower melting temp to join to other pieces of metal with a higher melting point, whereas welding involves actually melting the pieces which are being joined.

If you watch a lot of my videos, you'll see that I try to do a wide variety of projects with a wide variety of tools. In some videos I do projects exclusively with extremely simple tools and in some I use much more complex tools. I could do every single project with a file and a hacksaw and a hand drill, but I view part of my mission as not only showing how you can do a job with the tools you have, but also introducing a glide path for makers to follow as they get more serious about the craft of knife making. I think a lot of viewers enjoy seeing tools used that they don't own because a big part of any hobby is imaging things you might do in the future!

,Mark Clark, while Walter does not need anyone to defend him, I feel compelled to do so on this point. I have watched almost every video he has made regarding knife making, sword making, shop set up, tools, etc. He has been making videos for the knife making crowd for a number of years now. If you look back at his videos there are a large portion of them dedicated to making knives with very simple tools. He takes great pains to show both sides. I usually don't comment on these kind of things but your comment was shortsighted and not well researched. He really does go the extra mile to make sure that anybody can make knives with whatever tools that one has available. Also it was many years before he ever asked for any financial support to do so. He has invested thousands of dollars into teaching others without the expectation of any financial reimbursement. If you want to learn how to make knives and swords this is the man to watch.
