- In this video I'll be hand forging a Kukri out of 80CRV2. This is a full video on the forging process where I'll be forging the blade and heat treating in this episode. Heat treat recipe below.
Annealed after forging by heating to 1600 and cooled slowly
Normalizations cycles: 1600, 1530, 1430 each with 5 minute soaks then cooled to black
Heated to 1530 with 5 min soak
Quenched in 130F degree ParksAAA oil for 10 seconds
Tempered for 2 hours @ 400F, twice

What do you think of the build? Any ideas on handle material?
Hmmm yeah I have some ironwood. I’ll see when it’s done. I think it’s going to be stone washed so we’ll see what speaks to me then. Great suggestion though!
@@TyrellKnifeworks huge fan of stonewash here! Gonna be epic!
How about rosewood for the handle? I did a larger knife with rosewood and sandblasted the handle and it gave a real grippy feel.
@@bobbygervais6185 I don’t have any rosewood at the moment. I’ll see what speaks to me when it’s done. I have some really nice maple burl scales that I might use.
I love this build! I haven't made a kukri in probably three years, now I want to make another one. As for hilting material, the maple burl sounds nice, water buffalo horn would look nice too.
I liked your magic snap trick on the grinder guard! The pan shots are cool also! Oh ya neat knife man, that kukri is sick!
Trying to step up the video production. This one was in 4K as well. 👍
Great job, Denis!
The kukri is such an awesome design, with so much history. Really iconic!
Thanks! I do love this design, it was taken from Loz Harrop. 😉
I really like the camera angles... I can see what you are doing and that's the point of watching the video. The blade looks awesome.
Thanks for checking it out!
Thankyou for making the mighty Kukri..
It was a fun build. I may be due to make another one of these again soon! Thanks for watching
I really like the profile. I did my kukri out of 80crv2 as well and it has been a blast to use.
I really like the 80CRV2. I don’t do a lot with mono steel but I think I’ll be getting more of it when I do.
Love that design. Gotta get myself an anvil and a bigger forge, would love to learn to forge one day.
No better way than just trying yourself! It’s very therapeutic. 😜
Tyrell I love the camera angles, keep it up!
Thanks John! I'm always trying to up my game on the production quality of the videos.
Nice build. I have one in my future so I'm sure I'll be referring back. Wish I could snap my fingers with similar results 😀. I liked the camera work.
Haha, yeah sometimes you spend more time making tools than using them! 😜
That steel should make for a great user khukuri. I wouldn't mind having one. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for checking out this build, Douglas!
That hammer makes you move incredibly fast!!😂 nice forging and great shape on that blade! I’ve been making so many hammer and axes lately I miss forging blades!🔥⚒💪🏻
The hammer moved the metal so nicely! And yes, it’s a super speed hammer. 😜
I'm now a massive fan bro. So big love from Australia :-)
Welcome to the channel, Lucas! We love the Aussies! 👍
06:14 is a beauty
Thanks for taking a look, Noel.
The camera movement was pretty sweet! Great work
Thanks Jason! The camera slide is a pain to setup but it looks cool. 😜
Awesome build so far
Thanks Darrell! The cerakote finish on the next part is what sets this one apart. Thanks for watching!
The tracking shots are awesome and work very well if done in a way that people don't notice it... Hope that makes sense.. less is often more. Also your shot choice/ angles are very cool and give a different feel to the video from the standard over the shoulder.... Keep experimenting until you settle on your style... Really enjoy your videos
Yup, I totally agree. I thought the panning shot at the anvil was cool. I’ll certainly keep playing with it. Gotta be careful not to over use it. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
With the handle it looks more like a falcata, which I believe is where the Kukri comes from when Alexander of Macedonia went to Asia the Greeks brought that blade design over there
Yeah maybe a bit like a falcata. Thanks for watching!
Yeah man I don't know what it is about false edges, they get me everytime. It's almost to the point I just syke myself out. Haha, I thought you'd like the horizontal... The only time you see me wear gloves in the shop is when I using SS foil wrap. Hope all is well, take it easy.
I thought this false edge would be easier because it was straight. When I do them on Bowie’s they are curved and those are more complicated. Doing them by hand with the filing jig from now on! 😜
Excellent work truly great👌👌
Thanks for checking it out, Alan!
I dig the camera angles
Thanks for checking out the build!
A friend helped me with finishing my kukri I have to buy more belts for his sander 🤗
Nice! Send me a pic for viewer knives when it’s done! 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks ok how do I do that ?
Are you on fb ? I’m with a group call blacksmith for beginners
@Robert Stoker yes I’m in the group as well. I post pretty regularly.... edit, I read that as bladesmithing for beginners, I’m in that one, not the blacksmithing one.
I have a feeling you were a woodpecker in your previous life. 😄 jk looks like you did a great job on it. Congrats 👍
You do have a fast heating forge! Lol.
And that’s the old forge, the new one is even faster! 😜. Thanks for watching.
Saya suka liat bikin golok kukri. Jadi pengen punya goloknya
Yang ini sudah lama dijual. Terima kasih telah melihat bangunan ini.
Hi Tony one of your followers from Grayson Georgia question if you're doing a laminate blade or Damascus blade with 80CRV2 as the core do you still need to use the slower quench oil
Hey Tony, you should always heat treat the core steel. If your core is 80crv2, then optimize for that. Thanks for watching.
good in design..how much
gawa ba yan sa hard steel like
bearing,railway,track bearing,spring,
Sorry, maybe that was list in translation a bit. I’m not sure what you are asking.
Nice work.
I would love to make one but my gridding skills are nonexistent .
Practice practice practice! 👍. You’ll get there.
7:20 sure rubbing it in Dennis! 😁 curious.. are ya strapping GoPros to oscillating fans? Filing false edges was my night last night lol anyhow... that does not look like a Boneing knife. 😁 awesome kukuri. 🤘
Ha, oscillating fans would be cheaper. No, it’s a special camera slide. This is the largest boning knife in history. It was originally used on dinosaurs. 😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks lmao! 🤣 that's funny. Good stuff 😉🤘
awesome build dennis looking great i ;ove forging blades im still learnig but loved how you did on the kukri how hard is it to use knifeprint? i need to design more and think it may help me im just not that good with new programs and the anvil you are using is that a peter wright? thanks Mark
Hey Mark, knifepoint is awesome! It takes a bit of learning to get good at it but I love that it stores all my designs and I can print them, tweak them and reprint. Plus there are a TON of public designs you can use. My favorite feature is that you can grab a picture of a knife and use the trace feature to replicate it. That anvil is a Hay Budden 169lbs lakeside model. I got it mid last year and I love it!
oh ok for some reason had that peter wright look i have a hay budden #225 i picked up last for $600 i love forging on it and i have a #151 peter wright as well i will have to purchase knifprint one of these days
@@Anderson-HandForged A 225 lbs hay budden for $600 is a steal! I paid $650 for my 169lbs here in California, but everything's expensive here. Knifeprint is a subscription, which is $55 a year (I just redid my subscription today!)
I make my knives in a homemade charcoal forge using warmed canola oil, works with the 1084, 1075 and 5160 that I use. Soak times in my solid fuel forge are vey minimal. Using the same set up, would that work with 80crv2 ?
80CRV2 should be fine. I would caution you against canola for 1084 or 1075. It’s just not a very good quenchant for those and you’ll get shallow hardening.
@@TyrellKnifeworks So Parks or Houghton's fast quench for the 1084 and 1075.
@@olivermilutinovic749 yes, those are much better. 👍
please what is the size kukri?
This one has about a 13” blade as I recall. Thanks for watching.
What size stock? Thanks for the video.
This was 3/16” thick stock that was 2” wide. Thanks for watching!
where did you actually buy the belt sander and can i buy one online
There’s a link to Brodbeck where I got my belt grinder: brodbeckironworks.com
thank you very much
Ok
Thanks for watching.
What size stock did you start with?
It was 3/16 80CRV2 that was I think 2” wide. Going from memory here though. Thanks for watching, David.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Hello
Hello, and thanks for watching!
Fastest forge heating...classic dad joke
Totally 😜
🔥⚒🔪👍✌
Thanks for watching!
Anda tdk mengolah besi nya, anda cuma memanaskan besi nya , sebaik nya anda mengolah besi nya agar berkualitas baik
Saya tidak tahu apa artinya ini. "Memproses setrika?" Pertama, ini baja, bukan besi. Kedua, itu dari sumber yang memiliki reputasi baik dan baja 80CRV2 yang sangat murni. Tidak perlu memprosesnya. Terima kasih telah menonton.
This is not like nepali authentic khukri. It is more like English khukri.
Thanks for watching
Why is this called "forging" when it is grinding and polishing at best?
The blade was forged to shape, sorry if that’s not enough for you.
What kind of dumb question is that? Guess you didn't watch the video...
KHU KU RI.. not Kukri 👍🏻
Both are correct, there are multiple spellings for it.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Don't mean to be disrespectful to you sir as I am a huge fan of your work/art..but khukuri is meant to be spelt as khukuri. It's like spelling katana as katna. Katana is katana and can never be spelt as katna. Please excuse me if you felt my comment was rude for I did not mean it that way. Khukuri is sacred to us and such I do not like it when its name gets bastardised.
@@dawagensapa6885 Google “kukri” and you’ll see.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Ok sir, it's alright if you wish to stick with "kukri". The original intended name is KHUKURI. looking forward to some new and exciting projects/videos 🙏
Isso é uma faca? Ou um bumerangue?
O coisa feia🤢
Este é um Kukri, originário do Nepal. Se você não gosta, culpe o nepalês. Acontece que eu gosto do Kukri, assim como muitas pessoas.
*Khukuri
Atleast spell correctly
It can be spelled either way. Look it up.
