I was mind blown 🤯 when Will told me about “cold forging”! It was really another level watching the wizard in action and I am extremely grateful to be able to share this video with you guys! Cheers Rob!
Thanks. I've been looking for info about cold forging after reading about the Chinese Pagoda Tower Armour. A type of lamellar armour whose plates were cold forged. It was so hard that even crossbow bolts could not penetrate it. Contemporary records mentioned that they had to hit these full armoured soldiers with hammer on their heads to stun them off their mounts.
Fun fact: Did you know that viewers tend to enjoy these #knifemaking videos 9.25x better when they are wearing OFFICIAL UK Bladeshow Hoodies? Honest to god, it really does. ukbladeshow.creator-spring.com/listing/hephaestus-november-2021
Which steels can you cold forge? I mostly use 80crv2 and 1095. I don't have a power hammer so I wouldn't hit it hard. Just minor adjustments with the hammer. Hate having to fire up the coal forge to fix something tiny that I missed.
I just put a chef's knife in the tempering oven and sat down to get a drink and enjoy some youtube- I had no idea I was on my way to having my mind blown. I often refine my edge with a hand hammer after annealing, but I've never even heard of anyone going to this level with cold steel. Wow!
Hi Bertie! Happy to hear that you like the adjustments I've made. If you want to know more about the other things we do, check out our website when you get time! www.ukbladeshow.com Again, thanks for the help!
Just for claims, only certain types of metal can be forged cold. Wrought iron is one of them, which is what Will was working on here in this video series. Thanks for the comment! - Vinz
May I also add . Even though it is called cold forging ... Every time and the speed of the strike creates heat it's self . This helps move it . I do understand the Hudge temperature difference.
Hey buddy thanks for taking time to comment. Yeah, sorry about the lighting; Will has a big workshop and ai only had two lights that we couldn’t constantly move when he does hahaha thanks for watching! I hope you’ll enjoy the other parts of this series though!
@@UKBladeshow yeah seen it before but not with the explanation on the grain refinement. With regard to what would be cool to see next, I suppose maybe one of the guys who make the slip joint knives. Would love to see that process in detail
Super interesting to learn from the experts as always. I'd never heard of this technique before so that's a double win for me :)

I'm learning a lot with this videos, I need to make myself some new tools now :D
Hi Les! Will’s got some cool gear ⚙️ and I’m glad to hear you’re finding the video interesting!
Thanks for the comment!

With regards to music and sound levels, this video is absolutely spot on. Well done and thankyou.

Again, thanks for the help!
Such an awesome channel! So much great information. But man, they need some better lighting in that shop 🤙
Hi James! Thanks for the feedback and yes, I really need to invest in more lights! Hope to see you in our other videos too!
And here I was thinking forging cold would shatter my blade 🤯

It's really interesting, but the video is a bit too dark.

Thanks Stephen! Would you mind me asking - have you ever seen cold forging before? What else would you like the UK Bladeshow to feature in the future?

Me too! That’s a great shout - I’ll start talking to our knife making community on anyone who may want to be featured in the channel. Cheers Stephen!
