You say back to basics, but that’s what I do every time I light my forge. I like doing it this way so I can feel the steel and let it become what it wants.

I do this all the time too, I mean focusing on the blade forging basics as far as the video goes. Thanks for watching

Nicely done man! You have a good solid swing and you keep the metal moving so the anvil doesn't suck the heat out to fast! I like the shape you forged. Thanks for the video!

Watching you try to forge that tip was amusing.

Again great tutorial. Make it look effortless. I always thought a cross peen worked better for moving metal, tried a regular 4lb sledge with the glancing blows and was thoroughly impressed.

Thanks! Yeah, I like that method most of the time

Excellent video. I havent forge anything but a rr spike knife and a horse shoe knife. Neither was worth doing other than for practice. Cant wait to make one that will be worth the time and effort in the way of a quality blade.

Where do you get long steel plates like that?

@FireCreekForge 8 ай бұрын

I currently buy most of my steel from New Jersey Steel Baron. Other options are Jantz Supply, Admiral Steel.

Another great video man. Thank you for taking me to school every week. Just curious, will you do another video finishing this knife out or is this mission complete?

@FireCreekForge 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks man. I wasn't planning on finishing this one on camera

I gotcha. Smaller Bowies are probably my favorite knives, so this was a cool video for me. Have a happy new year bud
