Knifemaking - Forging a Giant Bowie Knife

This knife is available for purchase! If you're interested send an e-mail to: makencreate@outlook.dk
4 months ago I asked what knife people wanted to see me make and the answer was a Bowie knife. So here it is! This took quite a bit of extra time due to moving and figuring out life all in the middle of this project. But it is finally done and I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out! I really enjoy the shape of the Bowie and might be making some full tang ones to sell in the future.
Thanks for watching!

THANK YOU!!! I'm so happy to see a true blade smith who can actually ''forge'' a blade. Really tired of seeing a smith(?) trace and cut a pattern then attempt to call it a forged piece. I try not to watch those channels. What a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to watch you work.

Yes, I've watched some others also. There are just too many who just "cut and assemble" and I just don't watch them.

ZNA is a guy that does both forging and trace&cut. his designs and the way he does it with the materials is just awesome.

@ochachaway 3 жыл бұрын

Wouldn't it be easier though, once the steal has been annealed to cut the shape out rather than hammering it into shape?

I’m just a novice knife maker but in the future during glue up on pieces like this one maybe use a file to make a small groove in the tang so the epoxy will have a place to travel. Love your work, you are a true craftsman.

Sir first of all i would like to thank you for a really enjoyable forge, and what a lovely honest blade it is, most of them turn out to be just small if you will, but a giant bowie is the way forward, big is always better as you can put that bit more distance between you and the foilage, brush, etc, ive not yet read the comments but sir you worked that blade from start to finish a really outstanding video, the best part for me is when you started over, it shows you dont stand for nothing but your best, i dindnt see the overall length of your bowie sir but i will be asking for a quote on 1 of these sir, again thanks for a great outstanding video. 👍👏
