‪@bradtheblacksmith‬ forges a railroad spike into a functional fixed blade knife suitable for cheese or steak knife, or even a letter opener.
Railroad spikes are well know for a multitude of blacksmithing projects and can make a useable knife. Please note, the railroad spikes typically have a carbon content that is too low to keep a decent edge for a long period of time.

I have enjoyed making knives, and railroad spike knives for many years. You, sir, are a credit to the craft. Well done.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

I appreciate your kind words 😁 I also enjoy making them. I would love to see your work one day.

@butcherofblaviken1619 Год назад

Love your workshop, keep it coming

@kennethprescott7713 Год назад

Very interesting. I quite enjoyed watching this. Some of my customers are blacksmiths, but Brad is the first one I've seen on RU-vid.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm going to be working on a few videos in the new year so keep an eye out.

@_BLANK_BLANK Год назад

Really clean work with the forging. It came out really well. Im glad to see you mentioned that its not the best steel for a good bit of tasks. A lot of people coming into knifemaking, don't know enough to realize they wont see the performance they want from a railroad spike. Theyre great practice, but not the ideal material for most blades.

@CaptCorpMURICA Год назад

If you want to make a railroad spike knife that’ll be a workhorse, you can forge weld a high carbon bit for the edge. I use 5160 from an old truck leaf spring for this. The softer railroad spike is great to have as the spine of the knife while the hard 5160 performs like a champ.

@_BLANK_BLANK Год назад

@@CaptCorpMURICA yeah, ive seen people take that approach. Should work well, especially since its basically just warikami , or san mai (depending on the way they want to do it).

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Thanks! Yes, it is definitely worth mentioning that it has a low carbon content to avoid disappointment from beginner makers. Also helps a great deal with the heat treatment 👍

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

That will definitely work a treat. You get the look and the performance. I usually use 5160 for my axes and have never been disappointed. I think @diesineveryfilm does a spike knife with a 1075 edge...

@clarencedavis6551 Год назад

Great tutorial,I enjoyed the way you explained each step. I’m a beginner and need your kind of instruction. Looking forward to the next video.

I purchased a railroad spike knife in Collinsville, Al last weekend. Looks like it will be a sturdy bushcraft knife. I'm guessing you didn't craft it, judging by your Aussie accent =)

@annettehewitson6426 Год назад

What sort of fire box do you use and how it works,maybe do a video on your firebox for beginners,good video. Thank you.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Sure. The one I use is a gas forge. It works like giant Bunsen Burner in a highschool science class, except it can get the forge to 1250°C. The more gas and air that goes into the burner, the hotter it gets. If you dial back the oxygen by closing the air intake, it can make a cooler flame and reduce the amount of oxidation on the steel you are forging.

@danielrivera6252 Год назад

What can you put on it after you make one to keep it from rusting? My son made one at the faire and its got a bit of rust on it.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Give the knife a quick brush up with a wire brush or sand paper to remove the rust first, then gently heat the blade with a heat gun and apply a little bees wax or a product called Axe Wax and wipe off the excess. This is a more durable option that I usually used. You could also just any food grade oil if you are using it for food or mineral oil. You just need to prevent moisture sitting on the blade.

@jackdorsey4850 Год назад

Nice work. Do you make a shieth for the blade?

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Thanks. For these ones no, but you totally can.

Hey where'd you get those...

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

I was lucky enough to be gifted a large quantity. People do have them from time to time or you can buy them new from the manufacturer.

@truth-Hurts375 Год назад

Try E-Bay...in Western Australia you can find them by the buckets full.

Are you selling these?

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

They sure are. They are here on my website 👍 www.bradtheblacksmith.com/shop/p/yov12qnylc1ax3leal8f3gbroyv4ex

@davidhamilton7628 Год назад

Is that a Trenton anvil

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

It's a Fisher! She's had a hard life before me but it's pretty flat overall.

@davidhamilton7628 Год назад

@@bradtheblacksmith my Trenton has the same eagle on the side of it

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Oh really?! Mine has Fisher stamped on the feet of the anvil. I'll have to go double check now hahaha.

@stevesyncox9893 Год назад

Are you not forge welding a file in for the edge? It’s a flat railroad spike if not. There is no knife in it.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

You can totally weld in some 1084 or an old file to get a knife edge that will perform like a good knife should. These knives will hold up for tasks like cutting soft foods like cheese or maybe a steak knife. It's more of a novelty item. Like I mentioned in the video, it won't hold an edge well, the steel just wasn't designed to be turned into blades. I notice a lot of beginners getting into this thinking that spikes are amazing and are disappointed when they can't get an edge to hold. The only way they will hold a decent edge is if they do what you suggested and add a better hardening material 👍

@jmbstudio6873 Год назад

RR spikes do not contain enough carbon to make and actual edged weapon. Even the hi carbon spikes for corners are only .3 carbon. You need a minimum of .8 carbon to make a weapon that will actually hold an edge. They make good wall hangers, but a knife it is not. Try chopping a 2x4 in half then it should still shave your arm, this is an actual bladesmith test. Try it. Now go to New Jersey Steel and buy some actual knife steel, you will respect yourself in the morning. Forge On!

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Yes, I totally agree. They will not hold an edge like I mentioned in the video, the steel is just not designed for that purpose. I usually sell them as a cheese knife or letter opener for that purpose. I have been making knives and instructing knives classes for a few years now, I have some pictures on my Instagram @bradtheblacksmith of some I have made recently. And don't worry, they are from high carbon.

@michaelsteinmann529 Год назад

Your work is beautiful, but in my humble opinion, railroad spikes are not a good knife material. I don't think that they contain enough carbon to make a good knife out of and I mean the long term, a knife that will know how to deal with the damage of its use/abuse and the damage of time.

@bradtheblacksmith Год назад

Thankyou 😁. I agree, it's more of a novelty as the steel is just not designed to be used in this way. Good for a cheese knife or letter opener, maybe a steak knife but not much else.
