  • This is a multi purpose combat utility knife that I'm forging for a Marine.
    The steel is high carbon 80CrV2. Blade length about 5.5". Handle scales black/coyote G10, with Loveless bolts.

    it's a beautiful thing to see a CZcamsr professing our Lord Jesus Christ with a song while forging a knife 👍 cool brother, God bless you and your family .

    I doubt I’d be any good at it, but just once I’d like the opportunity to shape metal.
    It just looks so satisfying to craft a device of your own creation

      gloves prevent you from feeling how hot the blade is getting, way to uncomfortable long before the temper is ruined

      Most of what I had was passed down to me, but nothing hand made like what you do. Lots of time has passed but when you see someone taking the time to do really nice work it take me back to before the storm when I had nice things. I lived on the beach in Mississippi in pass Christian where the eye of Katrina came ashore. Old news in this day

  • @pasikhawm7419

    how did i miss this one?
    You could have just cut off the shapes but you chose to forge it, i mean thats what i always comes to my thought whenever i see knife making videos, because it saves a ton of steel as compared to drilling\cutting it off.

    Do you ever do bend testing or hardness testing on your blades?

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  Před 3 lety +3

      I do bend testing, I don't have a way to hardness test. I'm not as concerned with that, as i have a target hardness which i test performance at (Edge retention, toughness) which tells me more of what i need to know.

  • @xzeke666x

    nice knife, the only thing i got think over was is how the user is going to attach the knife sheat to his pants or belt? didn´t see anything to do that on it.
    other then that concern i do like what you made there, really nice.

    Do you have faith in the words you sang, "are you washed in the blood of the Lamb"? If you mean thereby Christ's agonizing bleeding crucifixion death for the forgiveness of sins, I fully concur. (I am a Lutheran pastor emeritus.) BTW, also admire your blade forging skill.
