like on crocodile dundie thats not a knife dis is a knife

love the indentation at the top

[nickdoerden]

@Ellasticitie Thanks mate!!!

[chompipedo]

Beautiful. I would like to know which tools did you use for this and how you get such an even edge without scratching the rest of the blade. The dents on the back, hoy did you make those?

[nickdoerden]

@chompipedo

After finished i use a step of 180 220 320 400 sandpaper. For the dents (and for all the cuts) i use a small angle grinder and files for details.

[AceKing713]

well since im a cheap ol hick ima just use duck tape for the handle lol

[jasonmusic1]

incredible. love the knife. I have always wanted to make my own but don't know where to start. What type of saw blade would work the best? and is it possible to heat treat and temper without a forge?

[nickdoerden]

You can use any saw blade you can find. The circular saw blades (like that i had use) is hard enough and they don't need heat treat.

@colingwood95

[misper34]

Running Wild "Chains and Leather"

[kanochain]

Hope you dont mind, but i am totally going to steal your design. That looks like a VERY functional knife.

[nickdoerden]

Not at all!!! good luck!!! I hope to make a beautiful knife!!!

[14longer]

next time could you please make like an actual video showing step by step

[hawkdlb06]

i had a tom brown tracker knife and almost cut my thumb off, i was using a fire steel, took a plastic surgen, skin graph and about 14 little stiches to put it all back together, i got a bad infection they had to cut it all off and do it again.... but anyway yea about 100-175. i got mine from a gun show for $120 and some used .223 cassings

[nickdoerden]

The Tom Brown Tracker is one of the best bushcraft knife!!!

[harlekijn007]

no it isn't

[nickdoerden]

This is your opinion and i respect it. Please tell as what knife you think that is a good bushcraft knife

[harlekijn007]

there are a lot of good knife's for bushcraft and not so expencive my tom brown broke after 2 monds use i don't think that's good

[nickbownz]

WOO TOM BROWN! Very nice, especially since they are a few hundred dollars to buy!

I think I may just have to copy that design for my next knife. kudos!

[dorklord101]

wen you say saw blade you mean a sircular blade right? and can you tell me wat you used to cut the saw blade

thank you

[nickdoerden]

Yes i mean a sicular blade. I think they cut iron materials (rods, bars) in a small factory. I do not tempering i use it as is it.

[JUSTTHEBEST12]

could u show use how u went about making the bladed from the saw

[nickdoerden]

I try to take photos and make a new video step by step with my next saw blade knife.

[TheDevilsRubberDucky]

ugly knife but good job

[OTEP1234567891011]

Oh man, tell me you didn't base your design on the Tom Brown Tracker.

[nickdoerden]

The design is from the Mark Teller knife is similar of the tracker knife.

[RDPproject]

Hi mate.

Can you tell me what the grey bonding agent is at 0:46 ?

Looks like hard setting putty of some sort.

[nickdoerden]

It is a kind of epoxy glue that i find in a local store.

[GODSOFTHEGUITARS]

You do really awesome work, keep it up.

[username2274317]

what song is this??

[nickdoerden]

Running Wild "chains and leather"

[cava002]

nice work men

[thezeroskater]

wow thats sick

[jmikejapan]

Awesome,thanks! Hey what is the name of those pins you used in the clip for the handle? What type of hardware store would carry them?

[JammerJawz]

Most people use brass pins or nickel. You can use any type of softer metal rods I sometimes use welding rods and I have even seen one guy use wood dowels. I buy brass roundstock at Homedepot. Search the net for Texas Knifemaking Supply, they are probably the largest supplier although not the cheapest. Subscibe to my channel and I will be uploading a couple of knifemaking videos soon.

[bandosar]

kick ass man

[StuntRetard11]

that looks like a good knife

[17hmr243]

nice work but u stole the design from movie ;- the hunted.

[nickdoerden]

the design is from Mark Terrell Knife and not from the movie the Hunted. The knife that you say called tracker

[17hmr243]

ok didnt no

[Kurby1400]

I think Terrell made the knife design from the beck wilderness survival knife, which became the Tom Brown Tracker and in the movie the hunted

But what is was wondering was do you prefer using pins to set the handle and do you also epoxy the handle to the tang before putting in pins ? Very nicely made knife.

[nickdoerden]

I prefer to using pins and epoxy for the handle. I think thats the best way to secure the handle. Especially if the handle make it by two or three different materials.

Thanks for your comments.

[TaikaSieniMies]

why bother to make a knife if you already have a cool knife??!?

[Yukoner12b]
