    Just in time! I started hobby-level blacksmithing about 6 months ago to prep for knife making. I’m ready for my first knife now and was thinking about using mesquite while I was splitting a big pile of it for firewood. I might even find a piece of burl in there. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Having access to mesquite like that is pretty awesome, it makes a really durable handle and is naturally pretty stable once dried. I appreciate you watching and best of luck on your journey, it's an amazing craft to get into.

    Nice
    Proper high grind and good usable length instead of the
    short chiseley knives that
    many insist on handicapping
    themselves with.
    Nicely finished without having
    something that one would hesitate to carry and use.
    Good job ❤

    Very nice! I totally get that stock removal is the quickest & least costly way to start making knives, but it eliminates the best part. I love forging the blades, it's my favorite part of the build. Aside from seeing the finished product. Keep the videos coming!

    • @Mysticmountainforge
      @Mysticmountainforge  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks! I appreciate you watching. Forging is my favorite as well, I love taking a piece of steel that would get cast to the side because it is too small to make a knife via stock removal methods and forging it into a knife. The whole process of watching a knife take shape via forging is awesome, especially when you hold the finished project in hand. Forging is always my first option unless the client is on a tight budget.

    Question : Is drilling holes through the handle worth the weight reduction to strength loss, or isn't that a real concern ?

    • @Mysticmountainforge
      @Mysticmountainforge  7 місяців тому

      I don't think it's a real concern, I haven't personally had anyone break a knife where I have drilled all the way through and I haven't heard of that ever being the case but you never know, Sometimes I just drill dimples into the steel instead of going all the way through the tang, this helps reduce the weight and gives the epoxy some voids to rest in, I have found myself going more with this method over drilling all the way through on recent builds. I appreciate you watching.

    Dope AF results, @Mysticmountainforge! This (with an equally dope sheath/scabbard) would absolutely fit right in at a high-end sporting goods catalog and/or retailer!

    Thanks for another great video. I like the knife profile. Does the 8670 steal have better corrosion resistance than normal carbon steal? I have read it has higher nickel content. I am wanting to forge a skinning knife out of 8670 for a buddy of mine.

    • @Mysticmountainforge
      @Mysticmountainforge  11 місяців тому +1

      I have only used it a couple of times but it does seem to have better corrosion resistance in my minimal use of it, I know 1095 rusts way faster which makes sense. I appreciate you watching.

    • @Mysticmountainforge
      @Mysticmountainforge  11 місяців тому

      Hello, I appreciate you watching! I did an edge quench on this knife to allow the spine to stay soft, this allows it to have a nice hard edge and a spine that will absorb impact extremely well making it more durable when batoning and chopping.

    I miss the days when this fad first started, everyone forged a knife. Then the stock removal vids took over and have now saturated the platform. Using a crock pot to heat oil is crazy imo. Too long to heat up, electricity is crazy expensive in Cali, simply heat up a piece of scrap piece of steel and dunk it. 160F minimum is what you preheat the quench oil to and a random piece of scrap does the trick every time instantly with no waiting for a slow cooker to slowly heat your oil.
    Forge On!!!
