Knifemaking & Leatherworking - Forging an Integral San Mai Frontier Knife

Рет қаралды 72,596

3 жыл бұрын

This knife is not for sale due to a tiny delamination shown at 24:13
My second integral knife ever if you count the funky titanium one I made 2-3 years ago. In any case this was a great learning experience as I decided to try and up it a bit by making it a San mai blade as well. Turned out pretty nice but I would've liked a thicker and especially wider bolster (the integral part of the handle) as it does leave a bit to be desired when gripping the knife closer to the blade for a firmer grip.
Thanks for watching!

Very awesome, having an integral bolster is one thing, its another to have one with a forged finish, and keeping the high carbon bit centered as well? That makes it that much more impressive And it takes some guts to show off the one little flaw that is neither detrimental nor easily visible

Beautiful, I make this stuff too, I haven't forged any knives, I make mine from raw metal or saw blades, but I've made a ton of leather goods, holsters and pouches and everything, you did a great job on both, you should be proud

I love the knife you sold me! Noticing your blades are thick, do you think if you went thinner you could make larger blades?

@MakeNCreate 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! Good to hear some response :) Very much so! I use the exact same construction method for my chef knives with the same amount of starting material. Only difference is I just draw It out more. This one was made thick as it's more of a bush knife that should able to withstand some rough treatment.

Bought It online from a leather store think it was tandy leather. However if you're willing to wait you can save a ton by buying it directly from china on ebay as it's literally the exact same tools they sell, difference being it's way cheaper.

Jesus loves you, and His return is close, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, He will judge us, and all are guilty. But Christ died for you, to wash your sins clean, He offers hope to the hopeless and salvation to the lost. If you are struggling, come to Christ, if you are lost, seek His face, He is waiting for you. Repent and put your faith in Jesus.

Why is it not right? if it helps me work faster and put out more content and provide a product sell then I don't see any reason why I should shoot myself in the foot by spending hours exhausting myself by using a hand hammer and having to burn more coal.

@@MakeNCreate I've enjoyed watching you do it the hard way for a few years now. Dont take anything i say too personally, im just some schmuck on the internet. But, that was a big appeal for me, was the old methods, old foot powered forge, and the way you sped up your hammering. To me, it was uniquely you. Plus, the powered hammer takes more of the human out of it. Again, this is all just some schmuck electrician perspective. So, dont take it to heart. Id certainly ignore people telling me how to use what tools i choose. Original comment was purely a troll and being a negative nancy about change. I still enjoy your stuff regardless, but always respect those who sling a real hammer more than those who use a big fucking machine to do it for them. Anyways, continue doing you.
