How to Make a Knife Guard (Perfect Fit Step-by-Step) - Part 5
philknives.com #bladesmith #blade #knifeskills Learn how to achieve a perfect guard fit — one of the most critical steps in knife making. In this video, I show the full process of making a guard for a hunter-style knife — from layout, drilling, and slotting, to precise fitting on the tang and ricasso with no gaps. You’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes like loose fits, misalignment, and incorrect guard height. I also cover finishing techniques, phosphating, and epoxy bonding for strength and durability. This video is part of a full series where I teach how to make a knife from scratch, step by step, focusing on correct methods and professional results. If this helped you, leave a like, comment, and share it with someone who wants to improve in bladesmithing. In the next video, I’ll show how to make the handle.
