Forging a Knife With 1/8" Rods Again!
Рет қаралды 22,211
Күн бұрынWill I look like Bobby "The Brain" Hennan or that heel and Mouth of The South, Jimmy Hart? You decide! 1/8" w2 and mild steel rods are combined with nickel powder in a canister to forge a knife.
Here's my first attempt at this project: • Forging A Knife From 1...

@ncsaddlehunter77 5 ай бұрын
I love it. The scales look awesome. I actually prefer when there isn't a consistent pattern in the blade because it has a natural feel about it. Planned patterns can be awesome, but in the end, when a beautiful pattern with some randomness appears, it becomes a more creative work of art in my opinion. That's why I love your blades and videos.

I really like the handle and the pattern, I think it came out well. I also hate these videos because it makes me want to do more stuff with canisters, but that's a pain in the butt (actually my arm) since I don't have a press or power hammer.

@krissteel4074 5 ай бұрын
I really don't mind the knife blade overall and its an interesting material construction, lets face it, if it forge welds together then its a good start! The handle material I don't mind too much but I've sort of seen it sold everywhere and at least for me I don't see it working with anything I make, but there's plenty of colours of it and its not very expensive. A couple of handle material makers I'll suggest if you're looking for some pretty wild stuff- J Hue Customs, lots of really clever acrylic and epoxy stuff Fat Carbon Materials- does things with carbon fibre which are pretty great Not affiliated with either of them but the products are good stuff from small scale manufacturers and I think, fairly priced for what they are all things considered.

Beautiful knife! Looked great with the orange and black I think. I have used Dymalux a lot and it's pretty good stuff! At first I got it cuz it was cheap but then it turned out awesome every time so I keep using it from time to time.
@GreenBeetle 5 ай бұрын
Nice. I need to try it. Are bubbles and divots common dymalux? I actually ended up returning the set in this videos because of bubbles and I looked like part of it was flaking away.
@jeremiahcoakley4168 5 ай бұрын
@@GreenBeetle I haven't had a set that didn't have some bubbles in it. I always just ground the tang side flat and during shaping and sanding on the finished side it ended up getting them out. It finishes really nice and after a good buff it's waterproof as well. I've even acid etched the entire blade and exposed spine of the tang with the Dymalux in the acid and it didn't touch the finish on the Dymalux.

Well let me tell you something Mean Gene! When Steve gets in the ring with me, he’s gonna find out what it’s like, to get wrapped up in my 38 inch pythons! The knife looks pretty good to my eyes. I do like the handle material you used. Merry Christmas Steve!

and i think the nickle ended up looking sweet against the rods. i could totally see this pattern being the middle portion of a double edged knife clad all around with edge steel. that would be sick. still have to say.....
