Scratch?

90min in oven but how many degrees?

Great video. Where you taking knife templates frome ?

I watched a couple of your videos, but only part way through each one. Your setup really could stand quite a lot of improvement. You have your gas forge setup outside and your homemade anvil inside. You are taking no less than half a dozen to a dozen footsteps from your forge to your anvil one way. Your work piece is being exposed to outside air for way too long. As a result your work piece is cooling down below a forging temperature, which is a bright yellow orange to yellow heat. Your homemade anvil is too big for the tiny tools you're making. Although it's good and flat, you don't have a proper way to lay the piece flat for working and reworking. That piece of plate steel was cut with a cutting torch. It shouldn't be too much of a stretch to have it cut again to a narrower profile width. The sides could be ground and the cutting marks removed to give you a good flat surface. Also (and not to put too fine a point on this) your homemade anvil wanders way too much. The result is you don't have as much control over your work-piece as you could have if you had a solidly fixed anvil surface. Your hammer is good. It seems to be a good size 2.5 pound ball peen hammer. But you need a sharp true edge that is slightly rounded on one edge. You also need a good pritchel hole to go with your square hardy hole. I would recommend drilling 4 anchoring holes to the corners of your anvil, but leave the center untouched. Anchoring the anvil plate down at 4 corners will offer good stability and will not allow the anvil to move or wander during use. The wobbly and wandering anvil is also a safety hazard. Do you have any idea how much that amount of steel can do to a foot if it falls on it? How much damage it can do falling down your leg, possibly hitting your kneecap on its way to the floor? Safety first, foremost and always sir. You have a decent enough propane forge. Close off both ends with fire brick, or weld a hinged door on one end with an open vent that's about 2"x2" square. You'll get better heating and heat control. Your steel will heat to a forging or even a welding temperature much faster if one end is closed but vented. The front end can still be closed off with firebrick for heat retention. your forge could further be improved by raising the inner floor deck by about an inch. Move and raise the floor closer to the burner. It will burn more efficiently and use less gas because your steel will heat up faster. you have a good shop, but it needs a lot of tweaking and improvement... move your anvil closer to your fire source so that you take the fewest steps possible. You'll lose less heat and will be able to forge your projects much easier and quicker. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

I’ve watched a lot of knife videos but got to say this was one of the best beautiful result with fairly basic inexpensive tools loved it 👍🏻🇬🇧

Don’t know if you’ve tried this before (it’s been five years so I’m sure you have but it never hurts to say), but if you dip the entire blade in the oil during the quench it’s less likely to warp

Very very nice

I have an idea for a dagger which i like and i would like to make my own dagger but I don’t know how or much about blacksmith stuff except from youtube videos How could i learn and make my own dagger without having to do proper blacksmithing?

Una obra de arte excelente 👍🏻 muy bonito cuchillo

Is grinding steel bad for your lungs even if you wear a respirator?

the brake fluid bleeder idea was brilliant!

Are you still selling these - sent a message requesting info on your website, but no response. Look just what I need.

This is not from scratch how did you make that steel?

Excellent

can I have the pdf file for the knife shape template please?

Nice work

really nice camera work (on top of the carving of course)

What was the glue type or brand? Is it jusr epoxy?

Nothing to say.. this is great

I We'd like to buy one of your knives or a set of your knives. Hunting knives set a 4 and a 6"

on god that knife 4 real

Закалка можно сказать отсутствует, на первичку 1150гр. отпуск только с "бубнами", и только тогда удовлетворительный результат, алмазы действительно не берут. Другого пути в домашних условиях нет.

QUE PEÇA SUPIMPAS.

На сколько работа хороша?, клинок сырой, закаленный клинок из р6м5 данной фрезы алмазы у меня не берут а тут наждачкой шлифует, закалку с данной температуры 850-900гр. эта сталь не возьмёт.

How much would it cost for you to make me a knife with a fero rod just like the one you made in this video

Going to try this! What length are you cutting to with the gauge at 00:50? Thanks.

Excellent work! A meal with these must taste at least twice as good. 🙋🏻‍♀️Anna

Perfect technic, clear and professional...👍

would have liked to see them in action.

wait a angle grinder came be fitted with a disk for cutting metal?

So much hand work. Love them

Хорошая работа

I have some sawblades like that. Any idea what kind of steel they are? Ive made a few Ulu knives from them. Very hard to drill holes for handle pins

Beautiful

Just made a bone knife took inspiration from these videos thanks

Хорошее видео. Отличная работа!

Привет из России! Ножи супер у тебя!!!

bro.. next time making hidden knife from old file.. keep healthy and stay creative..

bout time you got yourself a propper anvil IMO

Hey what's the name of the thing your dad's using to hold the spoon secure whilst carving?

great job.. setiap orang memiliki ide briliant untuk menjadikan barang yang tidak berguna menjadi berguna kembali.. keep spirit and stay creative..

Hey , you made an awesome knife. I have some suggestions. Try not to cover the piece that you work on with your hands or body when you film and if it was a bit brighter it would be nicer. Also your antler piece was not the best size for your handle so you reached the porous part . Anyways keep it up :)

That's a beautiful knife but unfortunately way too brittle.. The steel you're using is super HSS. It's made to cut steel, and is super hard. Tempering doesn't work on it, it doesn't get any softer before reaching 500°C.. So even a high temper wouldn't make it strong enough to make a good knife. I've done a knife or 2 with this kind of steel, and it's basically like ceramic knives. No shock, no hard use, no flex, or it'll break... So I'm afraid it's not a great choice for a pukko. Heating the steel to make it softer is called annealing, not normalizing 😉 Normalizing is another part of the heat treat process. Overall it's a beautiful knife but bad steel choice, too bad but that's part of the learning process 🙂

I dig it, prolly would have done some sort of spacer so the handle materials don’t clash so much. But it’s very pretty, I like the natural material aesthetics.

Beautiful knife. What finish did you use on the wood?

what is the width of the blade

holy shit production good. I agree zoom could be bit less

I've seen custom belt buckles made of a plurality of pipes fitted in a bigger pipe... though those were bigger. And welded together on the back, rather than epoxied together, if I recall correctly. Certainly the belt buckle hook and loop that engage the leather of the belt were welded (or brazed) on.
