A video showing you how to make (bladesmith) your own cheese knife and impress your friends at your next cocktail party!
Materials you will need:
- A piece of steel stock. My preference is 1084 steel, which is an easier steel to work with and heat treat. I used a piece of 1.5" x 3/32" stock
- A wood (or other material) of your choice for your handle
- Steel rod to use for pins when you assemble your cheese knife. In this video I used 5/32" rod
- 5 minute epoxy
- 220 - 400 grit sandpaper
- Metal cutting bandsaw or angle grinder with cutoff wheel
- Belt grinder or angle grinder to profile your steel blade and wood handle
- High heat torch (Benzomatic TS8000)
- A small forge. I just use 5 fireplace bricks from the hardware store
- Quench oil. I use Parks #50. You can use canola oil as long as you pre-heat to approximately 130 degrees
- Handle coat. I used Tru Oil but you can use what you're most comfortable with
