Thank you Jason. I have been bladesmithing for 8yrs now. You are great at explaining questions clearly. Going for my ABA this yr! Thanks for your series
I want to say I enjoy all your videos. This new idea of answering questions is a great! I'm not a knife maker, but I love watching the forging process. I'm going to make a coal forge out of a semi-truck brake drum to see if I can learn to make knives for myself. Thank you for your desire to make knives and sparking my desire!
Wonderful video Jason! Thanks for being so open with all your valuable info. Seems that Steve was in on almost every modern process at it's inception. Tigerlily's killin by the way!
Jason thank you for showing how to use a rounding hammer for years and years I tried to forge knives but could never pinch the choil properly I hade a pedinghouse cross peen when I saw how easy you pinched a choil useing your rounding hammer it took my breath so I ordered a hand forged 2.5 rounding hammer thank you so much
Sup Jason? I meet you around a year ago on state street here in Bristol Tennessee. Just wanted to thank you again for taking time to chat with the wife and I that day. Pretty cool👍
Great Q & A. Enjoy learning about forging. If I ever run into you, I will definitely buy you a beer(s). I thought it was great that my wife (Mandy) has a connection to you guys.
My first experience in forging a blade was just three days ago at a friend's shop and I only used hammers and an anvil, he doesn't have a power hammer. So, much to my surprise, my arms weren't actually that sore the next day. I still haven't finished it but I got my bevels forged in evenly and it looks great so far.👍
Awesome. Thanks. So what would be the important skill that you would recommend a beginner to focus on? I made some knives and quality improves with every knife i make... but i still have a long way to go. Thanks again 👍👍
Thank you for all the priceless knowledge you share and the great videos that cut out the BS and get straight to the point with Tips we can actually learn from🍻⚔️🔪🗡⚒
Appreciate the videos, The knowledge you're passing on. My question is Using cable to make a knife from can you soak it in acetone to clean it before welding the ends
What is your favorite tools to use for making blades?...tongs, hammers, anvils, and other tools to the trade. I'm wondering specifically which tools you use, the type of tongs, size of tong, weight of hammer, etc. Also, I just found your channel today and which it for probably three hours. It's very informative and entertaining. I'm also from east Tennessee, Athens, TN.
hi just starting to gather info on knive smithing came across your youtub and its inpressive . Im a jeweler smith and im looking into exanding my skills thank you for your insight I look forward to watching.
I'm looking to get in to blacksmithing what do you think would be a best route to take using hand tools such as common hammers or should I buy forging hammers
Do you make all of the tongs that you use on a daily basis forging blades or do you purchase them to save time so you can focus more on the aspects of forging
To use a sports analogy, are there “drills” that beginners should do to develop their skills? I hear that I should make a lot of little leaves to work on hammer skills. Is there anything to that? Any others?
After your blade is heat treated, tempered and glued to the scales, how do you re-heat treat and re-temper if you over heat the edge while finish grinding?
Hey Jason, hi neighbor I'm from Cleveland Tennessee. Really nice channel and videos 👍. Your knives are outstanding. Why so big of knives? What do you thoughts on folding or cutting for Damascus and what do you think about those forging like you do, then those that stop removal or removing material by grinding or cutting out??You know can't carry them around with you EDC.( What about making folding knives to put in your pocket for everyday?) Can you teach us that? I would get arrested or harassed by the law enforcement and scary body at T.J. Maxx? So, what would you say to someone that's eager about blacksmithing and making nice that does not have a workshop or a garage only a carport maybe 24x18( in the cold weather) but still wants to make knives? And on disability.( Help with a garage or confine space?) What do you think about stock removal and what you do by foraging the steel into knives? Do you forge everyday? I really like the way you teach and explain on your channel and videos? Thanks again and I will be watching you much as I can? P.S. would be cool if you had ruler or measuring tape on your design on your ankle to determine the length of your knves? JS, keep up the good work. P.S.S. How did you feel when you got your master bladesmith/ masters, (the next day). Did allow you up charge everything?
I would like a video of how to sharpen curved blades, like a kukri or a kopis. Where the curve is downward instead of upwards. Seems to me, it would be very difficult to do it right.
I recently seen a video of a blacksmith using a light layer of watered down clay and then quenched it in water. would you recommend this if no oil is available?
How much time should a newbie blacksmith have under his or her belt before they attempt to forge a blade? A few blacksmithing forums frown upon newbies making blades. Thanks and best regards!
Question on hydraulic or pneumatic presses & hammers is there a maximum Question on hydraulic or pneumatic presses & hammers is there a maximum and minimum force? Will to much impact on a hammer will it cause damage or move the steel to much/fast?
Ray on UA-cam, are knifes ever made for the size of the person? For me I need a larger size than a person of smaller size. I don’t mean to be asking a stupid question.
Hello I want too ask how to draw a horseshoe out straight bar then split a hole in it to forge a heart then skip some split again for a second heart I am healing good from a TBI could you help to show this thank you I like your video to watch good luck buddy
Something bugging you? We apologize, we do transmit telepathically. Forget everyone else for now. A Fairbairn Sykes knife San Mai style, so the outside is M390, CPM S110V, or Wolitz off that, but an internal core to deter breakage. It's a fine point, which if chain link were worn, it needs to be cut through without breaking. Imagine a huge muscular Russian like the one that grabbed Rambo and held him in the air. Then this big Russian is using this new knife proof vest Israel has came up with and do not forget, Israelites were initially from Russia. You need that knife to penetrate and cut. Then, if he's not wearing this,you need this to quickly penetrate and slice as the knife is punched. I figured I'd write it out rather than using telekinesis.
Answers. I love your advice to not look at images of what you want to make but rather what inspires you. You da man
