As a blacksmith, most of my blades take like 20 or 30 minutes to forge, up to like 3 hours for a damascus, and then hours and hours (and sometimes days) to turn it into an actual knife. Forging is like 20% of the work.

@@jeanladoire4141 Do you do brute to forge? Cause a lot of people I see on here just forge a rectangle and then sand a knife out of it lol. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that you're not forging a knife if you're doing that. You're really forging a brute and then working it cold until it's a knife.
@jeanladoire41419 ай бұрын
@@franciscoferraz6788 nope, i'm actually forging my blades, from bevels to engravings. After i'm done forging, my edge is between 1mm and 1.5mm. I forge extremely thin, for doing the exact opposite : not having any material to remove during the grind pretty much. I also don't have a belt grinder, i do my finishes with files, angle grinder, stones, and sandpaper. I don't like when people squeeze a spatula and carve a knife into it. That's not blacksmithing to me, that's just squishing. I also use a charcoal forge, and i do my heat treats the old way, in the fire.
