    Don't usually comment on these but I've been watching a lot of knife build/restoration vids lately... and I gotta say your end product is one of the best that I've seen so far. Very classy design. You're one helluva craftsman.

      Thanks! About 4 days for making a knife + 2 days for video editing. Usually I have about 2-3 hours of recordings from the workshop. I know from my own experience that when some video is about 20 minutes I do not usually watch it completely. That's why I'm trying to make short and not boring videos ;)

      Cord is also very handy if your hunting or in a survival situation. You can always redo the cord. That’s a long piece of cord in a compact area.

    So why do all these knifesmiths on "Forged in Fire" do all of that forging and hammering and forging and hammering ad finitum to make a knife out of a car leaf spring when the shape can just be cut out of the leaf spring???? BTW, loved your video.

    • @SmokeManHavel
      @SmokeManHavel 6 років тому +11

      This is machining a knife not forging. Machining is a a really quick way to make a blade well enough to be proud of and a great introduction to forging.

    • @robsonez
      @robsonez 6 років тому +7

      Many makers only use the stock removal technique. I dont believe it should be assumed as lesser work in any way. Stock removal means you will spend far more time at the grinder using alot more abrasives and is less steel economical. Forging is to take a piece of steel and shape it, not only profiling but adding bevels and reducing thickness prior to grinding. Five minutes of forging can actually save half an hour at the grinder with far less wastage. With quality blade steel in abundance and not every maker carrying the physical attributes to swing a hammer for long sessions, stock removal has become popular. Not my preferred method but no less skillful or time economical.

    • @johnc6738
      @johnc6738 6 років тому +5

      Forging also compacts the metal, making it much more dense. Once forged and heat treated it can make a much tougher blade.

    • @larrybethune3909
      @larrybethune3909 6 років тому +2

      Ground In Fire or perhaps Drilled in Fire is the next incarnation of the show. But for now forging is a very specific term for a very specific process. Oops I forgot, Cast in Fire.

    • @robsonez
      @robsonez 6 років тому +4

      John C Im not sure compacting is the right word but forging does reaarange the grain structure of the steel which in turn, if done correctly can make the blade tougher. This is more to do with heat treatment than the forging process though and we are talking minute amounts on the scale

    Awesome video M.N. Projects! You do some amazing work on your channel :) I would love to make a knife from scratch but I'm just starting up. I'm in the process of making a handle and sheath for a blade, part 1 is on my channel and part 2 should be coming in the not too distant future :) I'm mainly a wood worker but I also like to try new things like stone carving and knife making. I'll have to make myself a belt grinder so I can finally have some power tools! I'm using mostly hand tools at the moment. Keep up the amazing work my friend and hopefully you will check out my little channel :)

      how long in oven and at what temperature ??
      usually it's around 500 degrees @ about 2 to 4 hours. depending on thickness of steel and what type. I'd say 500 @
      2 1/2 hours should be fine to relax and relieve stresses in steel.

    BTW, if it was me I would even use copper string to give it a gold tone and wouldn't melt in case it comes in contact with fire ,this is a no BS man's knife ,it looks very solid and something that Navy Seals would use, great job.
