I've watched a few of your vids now and love watching you work and produce these great looking knives. I would love to have you voice over your process and why you are doing what you are doing, tools you use and why, your technique etc. As a beginner it would help a lot.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it! I have actually been looking into doing voice overs on all of my future videos.
I agree. I'm new to this and I see a lot of tools and techniques used and want to know the reasoning and how etc haha

I have a newbie question... at time stamp 2:45 ish why do you use the pointed side of hammer to leave the lines in the steel? what does it do to it? Thank you, love the channel!!!
Thank you for watching! I use that side(Cross Peen side) of my hammer to spread the steel or draw it out in length, By hitting it and forming those indentions it pushes the steel in one direction, then once I go back and hammer it flat I get closer to the desired width or length I am working towards, this process allows me to refine the width or length of different pieces in both blacksmithing and bladesmithing.
@@Mysticmountainforge ok, makes sense. I appreciate the explanation. Thank you very much. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Great video, Are you ready for winter?.My boy is in Fairbanks and he said it's already cold
Thanks! I am actually back in Oklahoma, My Dad got pretty sick with covid at the end of last year so we moved back so I can take care of him and my mom.
@@Mysticmountainforge I hope everyone is recovering, sorry, I didn't know
Nice work, thanks. How do you like 5160 for smaller knives?
Thank you for watching! It seems to work pretty well, I normally use 1095 for my hunters and skinners but I have quite a bit of this steel and several damascus knives I am getting ready to start on so I am working with it and saving the other.
Thanks for responding. I like 5160 quite a bit for bigger knives, but I do make a lot of small blacksmiths knives out of coil Springs from cars and trucks. And while that steel is in my opinion serviceable for small EDC knives, I can't say it's a super steel. However, I'm not sure how closely that steel compares to actual 5160. I guess all there is to it is to do it, and make some blades for testing.
Nice! Is that walnut scales?
Yes, It is a set of figured walnut from Jantz Knife supply. I appreciate you watching!
Silly question.. i see folks make videos they take piece of metal cut it shape it into a knife. They must not be doing it the proper way. Heating and hammering takes much more skill and the outcome is not the same?
I appreciate you watching! Stock removal is what the method your speaking of is called. When I first got into knife making it was the primary method I used to create a knife but forging allows me to take a smaller piece of steel and create a knife which maximizes my possibilities, it gives me the ability to take something that may be too small to make a knife via stock removal and forge it into a useable knife. I still do stock removal from time to time and the truth is even when forging you still have to do some sort of stock removal on your knife by grinding the profile, flats or putting an edge on your forged piece.
@@Mysticmountainforge You taking the time to respond in detail is much appreciated. I'm looking into fooling around with a new Hobbie. I think this will be fun, I have so much room to grow. This is something that can challenge someone even after decades of doing it.. I'll be watching and subscribing thank you.
What was the etching process for the logo?
Thank you for watching, the entire process in depth can be seen in this video: czcams.com/video/ycRwOTDP8WY/video.html
Where do you buy your steel?
Normally I order my steel from Knifemaking.com or Pops Knife Supply, New Jersey Steel Baron is another good place. Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate it!
