I like that you leave it a little bit unfinished in the end and yet adhere to strict geometries, sharp angles of the blade and controlled rounding of handle edges. Rigorously inspiring.🤙💪
The only you need is a good grinder a cutting disc. A sanding wells a vise and good imagination and common sense I have a lot of knife s slinshoots made with only those tools.
I worked for Plymouth motor division at the old North Assembly for over 35 years , I wouid have hired you in less time than it takes to ask for the job . Your as talented and skilled as any of my colleagues ive worked with in my career.
Love modern blacksmithing. I remember my grandfather about 50 years ago working on the bellows and anvil. It was such a back breaking effort to do what you just did.
I like how this fella makes due amd built a bevel jig and a lot of things he needed to make it easier . I also liked the use of the Drexel tool. I need a belt sander before I try this . Have the drill press and everything else except a crucible but doesn’t look like it’s needed here . I m sure I can make one . I just like watching the process and see it takes many days to achieve an end result . Hats off .
Thanks Koss, beautiful grind, nice symmetry and finish!! New homemade flat grinder?...don't remember seeing it B4. Different style videography for you too...felt a bit hurried but it knowing it was probably days worth. Always enjoy your hard work and styles!
I'm a dentist and I really enjoy working with my hands and watching your video was truly a special experience for me! Only one question though, for the grip, wouldn't it be a little more comfortable if the top part that's facing the blade had a bevel? Cheers!
Nice work! Interesting profile of the blade and tip. Thanks for posting the various steps and although I know very little about forging and blacksmithing, your set up looks practical and efficient. I look forward to checking out your other works.
Запрещённый вид клинка, который оставляет рваные раны. Нужно было ещё сделать упор на рукоятке, чтобы втыкая с твёрдую поверхность-рука не соскочила на лезвие.
I'm quite qurious how much experience do you have with those tools, with all those machines, and, how much time have you spent in total making this. Very cool video, fascinating process.
I've been at making knives for a couple years now, far from a pro but I can have one done with a sheath in about 8 to 9 hours. You dont need any special tools really. You can get by with a belt sander from harbor freight, grinder and cut off wheel, drill press, die grinder and a knife sharpening set.
Wow, how did I miss this video! That is a really sweet conversion from a wrench to a tacticool blade! I want to make one! I found out the newer shiny wrenches don't forge well, to much chromium content. A+ man
Hey it’s been a while since you posted this but what are the precise inconvenient of the chrome vanadium wrench ? Is it a problem of anealing or tempering, like the edge retention is bad ? Do you temper it in oil or water ? Thanks 🙏
