This was super informative, as someone who just started blacksmithing and plans to make a hori hori/soil knife soon. You are a much better craftsmen than me, so I don’t want to come off as insulting because your work is beautiful, but there are a few things about the design that could improve the functionality. One portion of the blade should be serrated and gnarly for cutting roots. This could be on the portion you didn’t put an edge. It’s also nice on these tools when there is a little sharp notch for cutting twine, roots or anything else you come across while working. Thanks for making this.
Nice work on the knife!! I really enjoyed your video! Funny, strange but to the point 🤣 All an all, I think you got something, kinda like a green beetle vid 💪🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏻👍🏻🤣
I tried to forge weld, not yet damascus, but i will try for sure! I would use some scrap steel to start, but then i would buy the steel used for damascus, i think is 15n20 and 1095
As always nice work. When you cut the initial billet was there a reason for not just cutting a slightly wider piece off the end instead of making the two cuts that you did?
Thanks! I cut it small since it is pretty hard to hand forge alone thick pieces of steel, just with someone that hold the hot steel on the anvil would be easier, but I'm going to make a small forge press to help me saving some energy
Keep up the good work
Nice blade man..
Nice workmanship with homemade equipment 👌

Have you ever done any work with Damascus steel and if so, what steels did you use?

Is there a way that I could commission one of these, or do you sell them? Most of the factory ones are a piece of crap lol
Hi! Right now i can't take orders cause i found a well paid job and i have not enough time, but i will return to make knives in the future
Отлично, только нитки закрась...
