  • In this video I will be forging my first ever cu mai. I will be forging a cu mai sheeps foot as practice to get the feel for cu mai and to further along my skills so I can transfer it to more practical knives such as hunting knives and chef knives. I will explain my process and why I chose to go this route. Please enjoy and dont forget to subscribe and like!

    Jesus, I’m a Novice as well, although I spent 45 years in a welding/ fabrication & heavy construction career. I’m really enjoying your channel, I’m learning a ton. Thanks for your channel.

    I have been experimenting with Damascus forge welding w/o flux with great success, Thanks to your great video, tomorrow I will scrounge some copper and try to forge one myself. I will be doing about the same as you, 1095 for the center and then the copper and for the last 2 outside sheets will be 15n20 and as usual no flux to ruin my forge. If it works I will send you a pic.
    Thank you for the inspiration
    Dave.

      Thanks. I thought it looked better with some straight lines instead of the usual curve

      Its pretty simple as long as you dont over heat it and melt the copper. Good luck 👍

    The give away sounds dope man looking forward to it. Also have you tried just forging other stuff like bottle openers and random shapes and stuff it helped me a lot with hammer skills.

      I made some bottle openers for christmas. Not the best in the world but i tried 😅 they all fuctioned properly

    Never been a big fan of that blade shape, but the overall execution is nice.

    • @JPsBladeworks
      @JPsBladeworks  2 роки тому

      I agree. It has less uses to me than other knife profiles as well
