Ikea Ceramic Blade With Ikea Handle Material | Knife Making
In this project I want to experiment with ceramic knives from Ikea. My idea was to modify one into a more interesting shape, but as it turns out this kind of ceramic is way too hard to grind or drill even with very aggressive ceramic belts or with carbide tipped drill bits.
So, without changing the blade shape I decided to just make a cool handle with more stuff from Ikea.
I think this might be an interesting entry level project for those that want to get into knife making without looking too much into the heat treatment processes, and of course the same goes for other new steel blades that should be already heat treated.
Anyway, I am really really surprised with how hard this tuff is. Just recently I bought some carbide flat stock to make a file guide but I abandoned the project because the ceramic belts I use grind that kind of carbide too easily. Maybe it's just a low grade carbide, maybe I've been ripped off, but still, I think now I know where to find some suitable material for a file guide! This stuff is crazy hard! And also very cheap compared to carbide. This set of kitchen blades I got was just under 20€. We will see...

The first part of the vid shows how nature valley granola bars are made🤗
Lmao!
ROFL

This is my ASMR. Listening to it is very calming.
This handle is too fancy for an IKEA knife. Great job though. :)
Always interesting videos! Diamond tooling is your only way to grind ceramic.
Very cool project amigo. Nicely done. Like from Sweden (homeland of IKEA) 😊👌👍
Now that you have made a whole new IKEA product, you should find an unprononcable name for it!
Dude that came out looking awesome! Love the "Ikea Handle"!
Love the way you used the brass to cover the tang! Beautiful!
I didn’t know that IKEA is now getting their customers to assemble their knifes too.
Incredible build on that handle and the ceramic knife was brilliantly done
The BlakBerd knife! Nice, Ceramic is pretty hard stuff. Beautiful as always, thanks for sharing, Cheers
Fantastic way to extend the tang. I have broken many knife handles where the tang only goes about an inch down.
This is something I probably would have never thought of trying. Interesting solution to the tang.
Nice handle. You do great work as always.
Those ceramic knives are cool looking.
This is one talented man
This work is really interesting! at first I was sceptical, but that handle turned out amazing!
Brilliant ! I'm absolutely fascinated ...
Thanks for sharing. Nicely done 👍👍👍
Clever way to deal with the handle issue 🤠👍
Nice change of pace brother. Looking legit 💪💪💪
Wow that turned out very nice. I love it 🥰
Great craftsmanship!
You should do a series of making projects from different stores on a budget
Cool project, can't wait to see if you can make a file guide out of ceramic material.
Loving that handle 👍
Very nice!! Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
thats so awesome !!
Ok puts my ikea dowel pen video to shame! Looks amazing :)
Okay that was badass
It already had an IKEA material handle? I have to say that I much preferred its original simple honesty 💗
Deena that’s what I was thinking. I’m not seeing the point of this. The original handle was fine. Was he just trying to add weight? Edit: oh I see. He was originally intending to modify the blade into a different shape and then found out how hard ceramic is. He still could have modified it, he just didn’t the right tools. He probably decided to replace the handle when he found out how much those tools cost. He would have needed diamond tools and they are very expensive. I understand completely why did this now.
Very clever as good as well well done mate
Thanks for sharing! I’m really inspired by you in my channel! Thanks again!!
Great work .
Знакомые станочные тиски. Прикольно работать на самим же восстановленом инструменте. Отличная идея с ножом. Молодец.
Nice ! Really like it
Seems like a lot of work just to put a custom handle on a store bought knife.
Your knowledge of both tool and material make you a pleasure to watch.
I like it ,if the blades good it's worth the effort !
Ikea Beard Projects 😂😂 LoL. Now seriously, good project, good job.
...works for me, good job..
Beautiful work. You could even post this on Ikea Hacks.
Greets from germany, pleasure to meet you at the makerfaire 😎👍
Хорошая работа!
Hi bro 👋👋👋good idea 👍good project 👍and video cool 🤝🤝🤝
Good solution!!
I work for ikea! Will be sharing this in a group internally! Awesome!!
saudações do Brasil a todos. humm... essa cortiça lembra doce de amendoim... acho que estou querendo sobremesa... bom trabalho. parabéns. sucesso.
did i miss you doing those pins somewhere what were they filled with?
Search "Experimenting With Mosaic Pins" in the video list or just "Mosaic Pins" for generic videos about that
So pleasure view your video, as usual
So elaborate
Interesting. I don't think you ever drilled holes for cross-channeling the epoxy before. Also, what happened to your knife vice?
@@JackHudler you did see that i would not grind or drill right
Impresionante trabajo
Thanks for sharing that
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! I recently started my own small black/blade smithing and making channel. I am still using my phone to record, can you maybe tell me what type of camera you are using? Keep up the good work!
Отличная работа 👍
Cool project... also the stabilization part. What is name of the knife sharpener you use ???
MadEdge facebook.com/MadEdgeK
Great ideal 👍👍
it's like asmr but cooler to look at
Awesome
你作的刀我都很喜歡
Perfectly balanced
Genius
What kind of (brand) Sharpener are u using?
Good shit 👍🏼👍🏼
Very interesting video
Sweet!! :D
The pins you used as rivets, how did you get one with that double circle insert, was it made like that ?
Think its a mosaic pin. 💜
How was sharpening?
Золотые руки!!! Круто!!!
Hello, really need to know where I can get the thing you used for sharpening
IKEA
I think Ikea should sponsor u xd
I wonder how much it would increase the integrity of the handle if you added 2 additional pieces of brass or other type of thin metal to buttress the tang (so the 2 additional pieces would sandwich that teeny-tiny tang). You could layer materials to give a nice look...but that would better serve a larger knife. (That's assuming that IKEA does the same with all of their ceramic blades.)
You know you really had me confused cause I was wondering why you did what you did. I did not know the purpose until I read your Description. But very cool for as cheap as you got them knifes How the heck are they so hard maybe you can heat them up to make them less hard?
They're made of ceramic, not metal, so heat treatment and tempering won't work.
Man if only Ikea knives came like that
Tanta roba! :) il fatto che tu abbia lavorato tutti quei pezzi di sughero mi lascia pensare che farai altri manici di quel tipo. Farai anche gli altri due coltelli ceramici del set IKEA?
надо было не вставку из латуни делать, а в местах замка хвостовика ставить патрубки насквозь, а эту конструкцию от нажима вырвет, или обжимное кольцо сверху надо
Ему для видео похуй. Помидор порезал и в помойку
полностью согласен
2:35 the forbidden snack
Nice very nice.
Genialer Griff.
Brilliant as ever. Wow, 09:43 what is that tool??
it is a sharpener it is too keep a level bevel or a consistent angle on the edge

Cheers
Linda faca.... deve ter leve ...
Muito bom
I can't belive how short the tang was
What kind of sharpener is that???
You need show all of your knives. 👍🏻
hahaha, you see that first semicircle that was inside the handle? That's where my wife broke a similar ceramic knife... (Very strong woman...) It took great effort to make another handle (wooden this time), with a shorter piece of material available, for not throwing the knife to garbage...
Cool but one suggestion. Oils are penetrating finishes and resin impregnated scales are basically plastic. Not a good substrate for penetrating finishes. Id use many coats of CA.
If you can't grind it, how can you sharpen it?
So for all the work it does exactly what it did before you started. I can see the point of repairing or replacing a broken knife handle but what's the point of changing a perfectly functional handle?
Steven Booth for the content
But will it float?
idk why but this vid made me hungry
Are you in the US?
This is really an amazing work .. but i have question .. dose this ikea knife worth all that work?
1:28 me going into the nether in Minecraft
Wow! No extra pieces. That’s a first. 😂
Use a diamond dill bit next time. Milwaukee makes some nice ones.
Try a diamond angle grinder blade for stone?
