Currently Playing: 3D Printing Steel Knife Handles for Alec Steele

We designed and prototyped designs for metal 3D printed knife handle scales and we’re going to be making the blade in the UK with Alec Steele!

We like to walk you through the ups, downs, and problem solving parts of making this knife handle because that’s where the “meat” really is - once all the testing is done, you just order it and the metal print arrives and you hope it works! This was our first time working on a knife project and it was so fun. The knife kit was easy to put together and we now have so many ideas of different designs for the knife scales we could do. We love that with 3D printing, we were able to print something that would be really difficult to manufacture in any other way. 0:00 Introduction 0:35 MAKING A KNIFE PART 1: 3D PRINTED METAL HANDLE 3:40 94.5% SCALE 4:28 95.5% SCALE 5:58 98% SCALE 7:41 SHIFT KNIFE PIVOT BY.047 10:21 LESS, UH, DANGEROUS 15:15 METAL PRINT 2 2% INCREASE
