Nice knife, great video. Friendly tip I found out the hard way too. I get a practically unlimited amount of bearings from my buddy. Our metal heat treat expert friend says preheated mineral oil is best for 52100. We all get cracks sooner or later. Thanks for showing the viewers bad stuff will happen. Cheers!
Nice job, I enjoy watching a master at his craft😎
Great job and a cool little knife. Bummer that the first one cracked. You put out some awesome content! Thanks for sharing! 👍⚒
Thanks mate, yeah, it happens to the best of us, thanks for watching!
Приятными бывают не только люди, но и инструменты. Спасибо, получил удовольствие от увиденного. Сибирь. Красноярск.
Impeccable. Things of beauty. I want one!
That can be arranged

Thanks mate 😁
Sam Towns, Bladesmith I mean it. We all dream of being up there with Kyle Royer and many other greats. But your soul has increased allot since I started following you. Far better than myself
Lovely little blade.
Cheers 😁
Awesome video
Thankyou!
Really good video! Likes it alot.
Thanks mate!
Nice work as always buddy
Nice little knife. I didn't understand what you were doing with the round stock in the vise right before you drill the hole in the handle stock. Thank you.
That's called the edge flex test, after heat treat I flex the edge of the knife over the rod to see if it flexes and returns to true, if it stays bent it is too soft, if it chips it's too hard.
Beautiful Sam!
Cheers mate
Piękna robota👍👍👍🤗
Great little knife!
Thanks!
I love the simplicity of the knife. I'm curious what wood you used for the handle. I assume that it's something indigenous to your area.
First.. and love the polish on the blade
Haha thanks!
nice one bro
Cheers 😁
👌
holy shit sam your little tang hole burner jig thingy just changed my life! also was that a chook at the end of the vid? haha
Thanks mate, yeah I tend to use a mandrel in the shape of the tang because it's easier to not clean the blade after or have to worry about detempering the edge. Yeah it was one of my chooks wondering what I was up to
Hi Sam. Nice trick with the drill bit... I will use that in my shop.
What kind of stone is it you used before stroping?
Great work as usual! Thanks
Hey mate, if was a 10,000 grit razor hone. Cheers!
Enjoyed that, cheers. What's your best guess as to the cause of the first crack? Did you fail to make an offering to the appropriate deity?
Haha not quite, but i'm pretty sure it was overheated during forging as the crack was jagged and didn't follow the grind lines
Sorry for the crack, but that happens from time to time, I guess. Nice knives.
Thanks mate, yeah it does
Your other forges must be feeling lonely and neglected! Haven’t seen you use anything else since you built the ‘postman’!
Whats the size of the blade
Nice mate how do you get things so sharp cobber.??? Oh how's the new forge going??
New forge is going awesome! Might have to do another sharpening video
@@SamTownsBladesmith Good mate, that would be awesome if you could, cheers matey,
Its a thing of beauty Sam. Is the handle jarrah?
Yep, sure is! Thanks!
How hot in the toaster oven and how long?
2 hours twice at 175C
Did you normalize it after the hammer work?
@@Lindisfarnefarmer of course, I actually show one of the normalising cycles in the video. I normalise three times in a step down process.
@@SamTownsBladesmith Thanks Sam much appreciated. Now to find a decent supplier of 01.
Typical knife maker. If the blade cracks you don't cry, yell or scream. You just shrug and start over. Now that's a knife maker!
