    Nice knife! Just got my first forced air propane forge going. Vietnam combat vet, just turned 70!! Brand New to forging.

    I'm about to start making blades in the UK, I have to admit your channel is brilliant, I have very limited tools and equipment, I will be using no more than a sledgehammer anvil and a coal forge. Keep up the good work!

  • @kensmapleleafretirement

    Thanks for the video. Bummer about the crack. Shit happens. Never made a knife or forge welded so living vicariously through CZcams.

  • @davekooyers
    @davekooyers Před 6 lety

    Beautiful knife! It might be a good idea to let the steel air harden and see if it will harden. If not then go to oil harden quench. And if it still won't get hard then go to water quench.

  • @michaelchasteen5679

  • @dragontattooee
    @dragontattooee Před 6 lety +7

    Great knife ... pirate bowie and I wonder if you could do anything with the other knife if you cut the blade at the crack? Could you make a smaller knife with the piece on the handle and another knife with the longer piece

    • @OldHickoryForge
      @OldHickoryForge  Před 6 lety +1

      Brian Sheehan with the steel already ground so thin it’s not worth the trouble to try to attempt to salvage it. Better just to start over
