I believe I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: this is not Forging. Forging implies that you're manipulating the metal into shape via brute force (such as hammering or pressing), and not grinding the blade out of a piece of tool steel you hammered into a rectangular bar. Forging is involving, and would take hours (maybe even days) of work to make a working knife blade that'll last you decades. Just thought I'd be very clear about this 👍
I've been a bladesmith for more than 10 years now. This is half true. The knife in this video is partially forged and mostly stock removal. There's nothing objectively wrong with that. Many great knives are made this way. My issue with this knife is the geometry. The thickness of the central rib is a lot compared to the overall length and width of the blade. This makes it a thick wedge with steep edge bevels that really hurts its cutting ability. As for the forging. It is ALWAYS faster to forge it to finish than it is to grind it to finish. It just requires a lot more technical skill and practice and physical endurance to get a thick bar down to the appropriate thickness and shape. Hand forging is less forgiving and more physically demanding, and it can introduce a lot of issues that can cause problems in heat treating. Realistically, it should never take more than a couple of hours to hammer forge a blade from square stock. It will result in a lot less waste as well. I occasionally do weekend classes with people that have never touched a hammer a day of their lives. We start with a 3/4 inch round bar, a stabilized 1x4 piece of dimensional lumber, and absolutely 0 power tools (the sole exception is the drill press for drilling handle pins). In just 2, 3-4 hour work days they go home with a beautiful, fully finished, fully functional, brute de forged knife. In addition to the forging, hot and cold filing, drilling, and handle work, that 6-8 hours of work also includes lessons on safety, PPE, geometry, steel types and grain structures, hammer and anvil use, tuning and monitoring the forges and torches, and how to use, care for, and sharpen their knives. The only thing not done in those 6-8 hours is heat treatment and the final honing. I generally do the heat treatment during the night in between the 2 classes. The knives are nearly sharpened before heat treatment with a file, then they are sharpened with a coarse and medium diamond stone right at the end. Definitely sharp enough to be functional but not properly honed. There's just too much of a learning curve and time investment in proper honing to include it in the class, and part of the draw is no power equipment, so belt sanders are not an option for this class either. The point here is that any reasonably accomplished/skilled blacksmith can make a very good hand forged knife in it's entirety in 1 work day (excluding the time for heat treating and the time for glue to cure), and they never have to touch a grinder to do it.
@@charliegarrison9688 there's a lot of that on UA-cam. Stock removal technique is totally worthy, but not fourged. Nice work on the cog though, and fourging a decent knife takes a lot of practice.
I got to remember that finger Sharpie guide trick. I've seen this a few times now. And the angle grinder tends to put a really decent deep bevel that seems quite helpful without a bevel jig.
It's handy as fuck for everything from metalworking to wood working. I use it all the time, and even use it with other various crafts, like making cards and no-sew blankets and shit like that. It's very useful, and you'll find yourself using it a lot for anytime you need a fairly consistent/clean line "parallel" to any surface, be it straight, convex, or concave.
@@Maegnas99people like to know how things are made. That’s extremely common. Whether or not a painting is hand painted is important to a lot of people because the piece represents the artists talent
I learned so many little "make it easier on yourself" type of tricks watching this and I dont even use any of these tools. But if i did! Id be atleast 50% more likely to succeed now so thank you boss 🤘
@maskedrebel9670 bingo bongo. The shit flatware is made out of is generally a very low-grade stainless as well. Not to mention that SS doesn't really take hardening and heat treating very well.
I remember crafting stamped knives like this when I was a child. Now, I still create fantasy knives, but instead of stamping them, I forge them by hand they last longer and aren't crap.
I think it won't be as through as it would be if you start with the perfect steel for this and if it was forged from the beginning, all the way to obtain the shape so you just have to sharpen it. A lot more hammering make it tufer.
🟦…The steel certain gears are made of has the perfect characteristics for certain type of knife, other types of knives are made from train-tracks and some from railroad-spikes, but again this is dependent on the type of knife being made, some types of knives are best made out of a type of File!..(but their properties are ENTIRELY different!). ... Some people have perfected making certain styles of knives out of the shafts of large electric motors! ... "Recycle something, make a knife out of it today!".
@@joshhayl7459 maybe. If the philosophy is to exploit what this steel can do, that's better. I'm still a bit curious about a so large variety of knifes types. I see only cooking, heating, pocket knifes, with steel that keep the cutting property and blade that can bend without breaking or being definitely bend... And war, hunting, Bushcraft knife or dagger. With big and very solide blade. Cannot imagine another sort, but I'm not very acknowledge about this.
So, RE4 REmake on Japanese Dub is hilarious, Krauser always calls Leon Rookie or Rūki, and everytime he says it it gets a tad more melodramatic. By the time you fight him at end of the game during the fight his final RŪKI killed me.
That's not a lie. That's a hunk of Steel in the shape of a knife and there is a difference. If you make a knife properly. It will be very sturdy in comparison to not making it properly. It will break f****** easy. There's a reason they took so long to make things like knives in the old days. It's because they made those bastards to last. It's not to break after 5 seconds
That's not forging. Sure, you maybe hammered metal into a billet, but from there everything was purely stock removal. Why not just start with a flat bar stock, and then grind away your waste material? I guess this is for those that don't understand what forging really is? Just saying.

Idk much about forging knives outside what I’ve seen on forged in fire but it looks like your quench temp was a little cold
It looks like it could cut through the fabric of reality

It has a special stat too blinding enemies before you stab them lol.
Not so much forged, but rather cut. But a bit more forged than normal since you did make the billet.

Imagine the knife still has the original rust, for extra poison damage

im only disappointed theres no like.. design elements of what the weapon used to be. example rail spike daggers still having the spike shaped handle
If the cutter may had feelings,how painful it would be for him to cut an similar one 😢
Why does it look like they swapped pieces of steel during the grinding process. Like it just magically changed widths.
