Wicked pattern! Not sure what brand that trowel was but I’m pretty sure the Marshalltown brand was a hardened steel. My brother was a commercial brick and block layer his whole adult life and trowels were his favorite tool. No kidding I watched him use them as knives and machetes when needed, cutting whatever needed it on the job-site. He would cut the steel band on pallets of brick and never had an edge deformation. Seeing you turn one into a beautiful knife brought back some memories! Thanks for the videos

Great knife as always, Elijah. Can you make a video using this technique, I used for the Canadian nickel coins. Using a canister and magnets. Put the nickel patterned pieces in place, with the magnets holding them. Fill the canister with steel and powder. Make a blade. Use star and half moons, Xmas trees or whatever you fancy.

Great looking knife as always. I’m curious, do you know what kind of steel you have when using scraps etc, or can you tell the quality by working with it? Also, I’m certain I heard you say last year that you were moving back to Idaho. Is that a thing. Or did I dream that lol?
@FireCreekForge
@FireCreekForge 6 күн бұрын
I don't have a way to tell for sure what kind of steel, but that's partly why I put it in the body of the blade and not the edge, so it's not as important. I expect it's some kind of medium carbon steel. We did have plans to move, but those plans changed for the time being.

Does twisting the billet do anything other than alter the design? Like does it make the blade stronger or is it just for cosmetic purposes?

My dad made trowels. He worked in poll finishing doing marcite work. He needed sharp, thin, flexible high quality trowels so he made his own forge and made his own trowels. These were the rounded top and bottom model. All different lengths. He pounded them out, then ground them down, used an apparatus to get the right edge profile. They were wicked sharp too. One of his trowels was used in a self defense case when some crazy neighbor attacked guy that worked for another pool finishing company and all he has to defend himself against this guy weilding a machete and a hatchet was a trowel and a hawk as a shield. So he did and sliced the guy up and then slit his jugular. He lived. Needed 3 surgeries and 123 stitches and the pool finishing guy got cut once

I see this, and i admit its well made, but hierloom? Isnt that just marketing? I own different versions of tiny kitchenknives. One of them belonged to my gramps, he knew how to use it, and it shows. Thats how it became an hierloom. I hope someone buys your knive and uses it till it falls apart. Untill then its a good looking knife. ( i hope i didnt offend too much, somehow i feel overwhelmed by all those added words:) )

As noted in the video description, the hammer and trowel used to make this knife are tools used by the clients father, hence the intentional heirloom nature of the build.
