Forging a BOWIE KNIFE from a broken crescent wrench.

Hello everyone and welcome to the forge! In this week's episode, I forge a clip point Bowie style knife from an old broken 12-inch crescent wrench. This project is a great way to take something that normally would be thrown out and make it into something to sell to help buy more tools for your shop!

It's been a joy to see a smith forging the blade rather than grinding it from rectangular stock like so many seem to be doing nowdays. Congratulations Master Smith.

I honestly don't know why i enjoy watching these videos. I have no ambition to be a knife maker, but i buy one or two every time i see them on display. 😢😢😢😢 they are all over the house and car.

I like that this guy forges things out instead of grinding

Sometimes I do stock removal but most often I would rather forge them to shape, I appreciate you watching!

I am blacksmith two and its boring to see the people who make damast steel out of crazy materials. If someone has a super workshop everyone can do that. But you work with hammer and anvil and do that realy great. Perhapse the "posers" are seeing this vidoe and shop show easy things. Very very good. Keep on going.

[@basdejong1598]

I got very lucky then. I'm allowed to take up a corner of a company's (let's say company A) working shed (basically a maintenance hall for drilling equipment) for free, and another one (B) that often helps A with certain things like welding or more complicated maintenance that require better equipment. Anyhow, B sometimes also helps me a bit (advice, or welding some rods to steel) and I'm allowed to scavenge their trash containers with old iron. Found a big wrench (for nuts of about 5 cm wide) that had a broken eye, and I could have it. That's probably enough steel for ~3 decently sized kitchen knives. Not even mentioning the steel's high rust resistance.

Almost finished. If you used the correct heat treatment the blade will be hard and strong. Provided that was a good crescent to begin with. Some crescents are a bit soft and respond to being struck like a hard cheese. It never looked that way so far.
