Hello, my name is Elijah and I am a full time blacksmith and knife maker in Texas. Fire Creek Forge is here to provide entertaining and informative content on the art and science of forging knives, tools and weapons.
I enjoy building historically inspired projects, and original ideas. With the vast heritage of blacksmithing across world cultures, this channel is a great way to explore the near infinite possibilities in forging edged tools. I made my first knife over twenty years ago and I still have more ideas than time.
Besides creating CZcams content, I also make heirloom quality working knives and axes to sell in my online store. Most importantly, I'm a husband and father, and a believer in Jesus Christ my savior.
I hope this channel will inform and inspire you.

Not everything turns out the way we'd like. It's easy to only show success on a video, but that isn't real life. Skill and experience comes from many behind the camera failures, but now you get to see what happened with this one.

I explain why this knife is scrap + little update

I've had a lot of questions / comments about this knife project that went wrong, so I'll try to clarify why it's not a knife I can finish or put out there. Also I have a little pre-announcement for folks in the west Texas area. firecreekforge.com patreon.com/firecreekforge #scrap #blacksmith #knife

What kind of dremel bit did you use on the guard?
It's a carbide bit
Great job selling the whole batch of carving hatchets! You're an inspiration to me.
Very nice.
2 fucking talking and get off the set !!!...
Anyone know if oil based or water based matters?
Beutiful knife, Chapeau !
Batch of hatches. Batchets
Can I ask for your oppinion? For someone who has never sharpened and just wants to sharpen his knives, do you recommend buying the "SHARPAL 162N" (70$) and trying to learn, a good 400 or 1000 Grid Stone (55 / 75 $), or the "Work Sharp Precision Adjust Sharpener WSBCHPAJ-I"(80$) will do a easiest and good enought job?
I would suggest the one which you're most comfortable with. The stone will require a bit of a learning curve, but I find it to be the most versatile and efficient.
I have both this stone and the precision adjust. I'd go with the stone. Learning how to sharpen is about 5% common sense and 95% practice. The only thing I use the precision adjust for now and then is reprofiling a blade. Meanwhile I can sharpen practically anything on the diamond stone in a few minutes. Get or make a basic strop as well and you're good to go. Another option is to save a bit of money and get yourself a Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener. That's 2 plates, a couple ceramic rods and a strop all in one piece, including angle guides. You can learn on that just as easily and while you might want something bigger down the road it'll still be useful in your toolbox/glovebox/hunting jacket/etc.
@@jlpowell51 Thank you, the one you recommend to save money, I find it small. The knife that I am most interested in sharpening well is a 10" (25cm). In principle I am leaning towards the diamond plate (which requires less maintenance than stones), but I am afraid that I will need many hours of practice before I can do it well, or even ruin the knife.
@@SHEagleYT Get the diamond stone and then get a cheap knife to practice with if you're really worried about ruining your current knife. About the only thing you could do that wouldn't be easily recoverable is scratch up the flat of the blade, which IMHO isn't a big deal if it is a knife you're going to actually use instead of a show piece/collector's item.
What a great looking knife. Truly heirloom quality
Same here. Ordered one yesterday after watching the Outdoor 55 videos. Thank you for confirming that it's a great product. I'm a beginner at this, so it's comforting knowing that I am not getting ripped off. I just went over my boiling point with using dull knives in the house. And using those carbide sharpeners are just horrible. So after watching these videos I feel confident that our kitchen knives will be usable again.
Nice, thanks for watching
That's kinda like a Japanese knife. Bevel on one side, hollow ground on the other. I would definitely be proud to own it.
What makes a knife Damascus ?
The patterned steel has been referred to Damascene or Damascus for centuries, while there are different origins and methods of construction.
Viking Seax = Fake History! Merovingians are not Vikings!
I would love to learn more about metallurgy but I can't get the membership, could you recommend me any videos or channels you like?
I have a number of videos discussing metallurgy and heat treating here on the channel that are available
@@FireCreekForge Thank you, I'll look into it
I would've LOVED to see how the pattern would've come out WITHOUT the friggin' twisting that messed it up... 🤷♂️
I wish I had a shop like yours
Why don't you test the knives ? One SR other Forged and start cutting nails or other things that are not meant to be cut by knife but will show really fast the deformities on the edges
You don't get glass food jars anymore in the US?? In Europe, that's still standard fair.
I meant mayonnaise but said food
That turned out gorgeous. I'd have never expected that pattern from a ball bearing & round stock canister billet.
Do the tiny cracks weaken the blade or just ruin the visual effect of the pattern? It didn't look like there were any inclusions and the two steels forged to make a good weld. If the blade was strong and had other qualities you wanted, the knife would still be fully functional?
Love the hatchets buddy! Just checked and can’t find a membership button.
Thanks! I think it's the join button on the main channel page
Great job 👏
Very nice. That is a lot of work to make one knife. Looked like fun though.
Love the knife, love the song, and Yes, I am washed in the Blood of Our awesome Savior.
Nice looking hatchet 👍
Thank you sir
ff again ... w t f is the originality?
That is one of the better knives I’ve seen. I really like the pattern and look of the piece. Thanks
Thank you
Is that a tear drop with a twist pattern??
Where do brought find bandsaw blade like that been looking for some for quite awhile no sawmills around me
I like the smaller hatchets. I recently forged my version of the trail hatchet mixed with the carving hatchet because i wanted to design a belt sheath. It came out nice but took a long time to build the sheath. Try out water buffalo leather when you get a chance, its an amazing leather for axe sheaths
I was finally able to get one too after watching the same video you mentioned and it works great - $75 delivered to my door.
thats a pretty little axe, I really enjoy axe carving
Btw, what oils are best? 😊❤
It kinda looks like it’s more a diffusion / erosion mixing between the two alloys with a phase transition that gives those tiny islands that look like fragments. Might be worth asking the knife steel nerds dude for his perspective.
Have you ever? Tried black locust. Smokey Mountain iron wood.
No I don't think I have yet
I will say you do magnificent work. Being a stove-up old man, I can appreciate not only WHAT you do but also HOW you do it.
Bkacksmiths are easily my favorite sub-species of smith. ;) Desert Ironwood is beautiful. I may have to pick some up myself.
That is a beautiful knife. I am partial to the bigger blades.
Identical to Shurap’s method of knife manufacturing, huh!
Seems you have come a long trail in these past five years. Keep it up 🔪
nice one dude
Boys use band-aids. Men use duct tape.
Outstanding craftsmanship! Mind blowing Damascus pattern I get as much enjoyment out of watching u work as I do in seeing the final piece Truly enjoy your channel Stay safe
that's a gorgeous piece
