  • Hey man, is the heat process and sending it in 100% neccesary?

  • @Nuchuga of course it is

  • Hi, love your videos man! I've been looking for a beltsander like the one you're using in this video, but they are all 110V and like you, I live in Europe and need one which is 220V. Are you using a power converter or is your beltsander 220V? If so, where did you get it? I can't find anything cheap in Europe which fits the bill like yours does.

  • @stoffi i dont know man, im in usa, not europe..

  • how long does it take you to make a knife

  • @schulhoff18 it depends on how big and how complicated handle. but i guess average complete knife with the sheath is somewhere between 8-10 hours

see all

  • great video ,answered all my questions.

    sorry about the request for the video, i didn't see it the first time searching.

    thanx!

  • @Thebatterside How much does it tend to run per blade?

  • @Nuchuga Without heat treatment the metal will be too soft to hold an edge through any type of real cutting. You can heat treat certain steels (O1, W1, 5160, high-carbon steels mostly) yourself. If you are using a stainless steel like Gavkoo, it's best to have a professional do it. Also, if you have a professional heat teat done, it's a good idea to have more than one done at a time, because it will cost the same as just one blade.

  • @gavkoo so what exactly would happen to the knife if you did not do that

  • @gavkoo Oooops, sorry. Got the impression that you were in Slovakia. Either way, great vidz man!

  • great...good info. thanks!!!
