Making a wood carving knife from an old table saw blade

 















Tools and materials I propose:

Angle grinder

Metal cutting discs

Belt sander

Chisel set

Block plane

Spoke shave

Trim router

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Hand Tool Sharpening Kit


In this video I make a classic woodcarving knife out of an old table saw blade and a piece of Indian rosewood. I want to thank my friend Giorgos Laskaridis for sending me this beautiful piece of wood.


I begun by cutting the shape of my knife using my angle grinder and my rotary tool.


I finished shaping on the belt sander. 


I then used my Tormek sharping system to sharpen my blade. I created a 22,5 degree bevel on my edge. 


Then I polished the blade with sandpaper and some polishing paste.


I made the handle out of a piece of Indian Rosewood. I used my trim router to carve the groove and a I fine tuned it with a chisel. 


I then epoxied all the pieces together. 


I shaped the handle using the belt sander, the spoke shave, chisels and sand paper. I finished it with mineral oil. 


And my little knife was ready. The blade seemed hard enough as it was so I didn’t do and hardening.


But that was it see you soon with a new project video.
