    You get only two pieces of material to make a knife: What are they?

    you know, that handle really came together well in the end. Looks good. I tried something similar with shemagh scarf a few years ago and it did not turn out well at all!! Lol. On the plus side I still have the fiberglass resin from that project, so I may take swing at this for a little hunter integral I have in the works.

    I've been thinking about other ways you could have accomplished the handle, but concluded that to get the effect you were looking for you had to do it that way. My temptation would have been to cast the twine in resin off the tang, then slice it in half and proceed with scales, but with a hidden tang that's always a pain.

  • @franotoole2702
    @franotoole2702 Рік тому +1

    Cool take on a micarta handle. You could do some realy cool wraps that way. Those T shirts would be even cooler if you took away the bright background (too much white) and have the writing ligjter so it pops from the black bacground. Or even just curve the top of the background so it resembles smokey effect or steam from the forge rather than a big square print, that wood look realy cool.

  • @aussiesonik523
    @aussiesonik523 Рік тому +2

    I used a similar Jute/epoxy process for making a bamboo bike, the one recommendation I have is to wrap your wet handle tightly with a tape (electrical or duct tape for instance) this will compact the wrap, and give you a tighter finish, it would also likely have avoided the bolster gap. Perhaps doing the handle in two passes - tight wrap, dry, sand then wrap, dry, sand to final dimension might be easier/better....I don't know.

    I had never thought of twine as a handle. I finally have a way to handle my first knife, a BBQ knife concept with a leaf loop “pommel”. The tang size is too small for drilling and scales and I’ve been delaying as I figured any further progress would take it to ruin.

    Incredible!!! Just recently found your channel. Quite impressed with your work, and the quality just impressive. I'm just getting involved in forging. I built a forge from an old propane barbecue (stainless steel)purchased a second hand post vise and a harbor freight hammer. T best thing is that my beloved wife gave me an anvil last Christmas ( NOT harbor freight). I have a qestion that I hope you will answer. If you have a means of contact other than this site, it would probably be more convenient/ helpful. Thank you.

    “As the W1 designation would suggest, it is a water hardening steel.” 3:30 So I guess I missed why you hardened using Parks 50 instead of water.

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  Рік тому

      Parks 50 is designed to be close to a water quench. The problem with water is it's an uneven quench due to the vapor jacket which can lease to warping. Thin cross sections like knives will harden fully in Parks 50, and it's common practice for the reasons mentioned.

    Problem with fiberglass resin is that it breaks down fairly quickly in sunlight uv rays, it needs something to block the sun, boats use gel coat, but, its to soft for a durable finish on a handle.

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  Рік тому +1

      The fiberglass resin has a much longer work time than even 30 minute epoxy, in my experience, and it has a lower viscosity which is helpful as well.

    I still don't understand how your material stays so hot. When I'm forging I need to stop after 3 or 4 hits.

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  Рік тому

      Well part of that is probably editing to show the actual forging, in this case the starting piece of steel was pretty thick so it did stay hot longer. As you practice you'll be able to get more forging done in the same heat
