Making a hand forged billhook

The process of making a hand forged billhook. This one is not any specific pattern but the methods used are alike for all of my billhooks.
You can buy my billhooks and other hand forged tools that I make here: www.etsy.com/shop/RovtarForge...

[@TeamDiscus]

Nice! How exactly do you do the “burn in” of the tang? Would be a cool video! I’m trying to figure out a good way to do it...

[@rovtarforge4004]

TeamDiscus well it's basically quite straight forward, you just heat up the tang and press it into a pre - drilled hole

[@TeamDiscus]

Ok! Cool, thank you!

[@douro20]

Why braze the ferrule rather than weld it?

[@rovtarforge4004]

douro20 It's the historical way of doing it

[@NKG416]

Billhooks are very common here in asia they usually crappy,but this is high quality blade!
And what is ferrule for?,never see that in here

[@rovtarforge4004]

I'm Bored the ferrule is there so the handle doesn't split in use, and the hook on it is for carrying on the belt

[@NKG416]

oooh i definetely have seen that,but it's just plain steel belt not with hook hehehee
