Forging a TACTICAL MACHETE out of a Rusty Leaf Spring

- Hello friends!
In this project I tried to forge a machete from an old rusty spring. The forging process took a little time, but in total, it took me 10 days to bring this project to life.
The handle of the forged machete is made of Wenge oak, and the leaf spring steel used to make the machete is super strong and resilient after hardening.

Cool 😎
Very very very very good ❤
Hi 👋 there, man?!! That's a nice nice machete, buddy 👍 👌 😍
😊
Бетярський ніж🔥👍
Nice work man. Not actually forged just stock removal. A good tip, before quenching, make sure you have no sharp edges. Don't take your bevels to done. This causes stress rises leading to micro cracking. Instead leave about a dull 2mm. 😉👌
Love it!!!
Very nice
Thank you bro 😎
End very good
Good skill of making machete, nice work
Fantastic machete 😊
Thank you 😊
Brilliant piece of work, that knife is a total BEAST! I love it, just wish I had the skills to construct something like that! Bloody well done!
it's just a masterpiece 👍👍👍👍👍

wow i love this, will try to make one like that, shame this didn’t get more views
Фантастично!!! З купи металолому таке зробити!! Ви молодець.
Nice hunting knife
Muy bueno
One chip, not bad!
Buen trabajo con ese grosor tiene la contundencia de un hacha saludos desde y
please never stop making these videos
amaizing work to say the least. i wish i could be doing this now but i have to get to a point where im skilled enough and have the things to do so as well. until then you have my support :)
What a beautiful piece of art and so effective I love the file work on the handle and the two stage bevel angle it's like a trapper knife on steroids lol the fact that you made that with minimal equipment showed me that I can do something like this if I put my mind to it absolutely inspiring thank you for your video I love it!
so many forged in fire experts in hear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Esta muy bueno parecido al kabar bk9 que quiero hacer
😮
👍👍👍👍
👍🤝😀
is leaf spring actually good for making tools like this ?
knives, machete, axes?
Yes of course 👍
Very curious about your mini forge. Is it just a blower on a small box?
Cutting out a machete .... not forging one.
Was gonna say he could've got a much bigger blade and better profile from forging but hey good grinding 🤷
Forging, schmorging
Beautiful work, and a practical looking design for the type of tool this is. This is a big chopper rather than a machete. If it was me, I’d bring the grind up all the way to spine, takes some weight out of it, and improve cutting ability. As it is, it has a similar geometry to a thick Kukri. Overall, great job 👍
Thanks for the praise, my friend.
I agree with you about the angle of the blade, next time I'll try to do it the way you wrote.
@@makeitlikenew Have you done cutting tests/wood processing with it?
@Jashin_Geh Of course, it is not very good at cutting, but it is very good at chopping wood
Muy bonito pero la verdad demasiado pesado
Nice job. Just a little warning to everyone else who consider working with wenge wood, the fibers are sharp as they come, and do not remove as other splinters, they actually dig deeper if you are not careful. But it's totally worth while if you protect yourself and go easy working with it..
Thank you my friend for advice!
@makeitlikenew no problem.. Been working with exotic wood for years, and I have the splinters in my hands so you don't have to 😄
That’s a lot of stock removal
Is this forging? Heat up medal, cut medal to shape, grind the details, heat treat… I can do this.
Cool but why would you chop bricks and cables
Great. But not exactly forged. It's just cut out of a metal bar.
This way of making tools is also good, but they will not be as durable, because forged steel is stronger. When you just cut it out like this, the grain is all in one direction, which makes the blade more vulnerable to getting blunt.
Ora basta grazie

Why you use aluminium foil?
This is done to prevent the evaporation of lubricant vapors in the furnace after quenching

Not forged
O già detto ora basta e troppo tempo gioco
Not really “forging” a machete.
Why?
Because forging means you take pieces of metal and forge (hammer) them to one solid piece. After that you form the metal by hammering it to the desired shape. With blades you fold them many times to remove impurities and also flatten it out to your own designs. Although the blade is really beautiful and you did a great craftsmanship, it is not Forged by your hands. What you did was more cutting/grinding it to form. Yes you did flatten it out, but that doesn’t count as forging.
Basta o subito cose nn belle da piccolo o i testimoni se nn la smetti vedi basta
Looks like something one would find in a high-end sporting goods catalog and/or retailer, @makeitlikenew!
How much for ya to make me one?
