I appreciate you watching! I occasionally do some stock removal builds as well, but forging is my favorite way to work.

Thanks! The best bet starting out would be use a grinding jig if possible, that's what I did when I first started, it will help keep everything straight. I appreciate you watching.

@@Mysticmountainforge Wow, thank you for the information. I’m new to knife making, and videos like yours truly inspire me to find new and different materials and be more creative.

Thanks! I appreciate you watching! Edge quenching is used a lot more than people realize, ABS mastersmith J. Neilson does all of his regular steel knives that way, it allows the edge to harden and keep a sharp edge while keeping the spine soft which allows for better durability, especially in chopping.

@@Mysticmountainforge Thank you for bringing such a quick and informative answer! Blessed be!

A knife like this or a little shorter costs 100 for monosteel and 250 for Damascus, the price includes a leather sheath. I appreciate you watching!

That was hardwood ash, it allows the steel to cool down extremely slow which make sit easier to drill, you can do the same process with a clay based cat litter. I am hoping to eventually get to where i can offer template downloads in the future. I appreciate you watching!
