Good job on the draw knife, it looks really great. Enjoyed the video, liked the commentary about the project, it’s a real help when you explain your thoughts about how it turned out etc. Looking forward to more of your fantastic videos, Regards from Down Under.

Cheers Nils! Thank for the shout! Excellent work as usual, but If I may, I have two suggestions for you. Forge a bevel on the ends of the steel before forge welding to make the transition between the iron and steel smoother, and I'd recommend kicking the handles out of line with the edge, usually making the handles come up a bit when the edge is flat. If that makes sense. It'll make the draw knife more manoeuvrable and easier to use for shaping.

I did notice the beveling thing. Hard to fix once its welded, better to do it earlier, as you said.

Phosphor bronze plain bearings also make great ferrules. Not too expensive if you buy several at the same time. Nice Work Fella !

So I seem to be missing something, why did he forge weld mild steel to it ? I don't see the benefit here, draw knives don't usually need to be very shock resistant. Is it because there was not enough high carbon material to forge out into tangs, for handles ?
3 жыл бұрын
Old technique. Steel was expensive and iron was cheaper int the old days, so you wanted to save the steel only for the edge and not wating it on handöes etc. Same thing with most cutting tools from history.
@XBullitt16X 3 жыл бұрын
@ ah I see, you're doing it how they were forged in the old days, not neccesarily because the process was needed or more efficient, but because thats how it was done traditionally. So my initial assumption was along the correct lines of thinking then, thanks for the clarfication. I sometimes forget that things aren't neccesarily done because it's the best and/or easiest way to objectively do so.
