Thank you and you are welcome. Thanks for watching 🙏

Those are great tips! I'll definitely implement them. Thanks Tom. And yes that's exactly why I used the file to rub in the glue with antler dust glue 😊 It really worked out well

Thank you kindly Mike! Merry Christmas back from us in arctic Finland 😊

Thanks Elijah, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking time out to watch it 😊

Thank you Ans 😊

That's very kind of you.

Thank you very much Michael!

Thanks Mark. I'm glad you like it

🤣 better save your compliment till you see the result...maybe I'll mess it up hehe. Thanks Richard

Hi Richard, thanks for your kind comment. I think as long as the tang is firmly and tightly fixed and doesn't have room to vibrate when hit or dropped it should be fine. I'm just learning to forge and plan to make videos about it. I will certainly need input from a more experienced person like yourself to help me through this new chapter in my knife making. Uptill now I have bought me blades at puukot.fi Thanks for the greetings as well 🙏

@@VahidCullsberg Hello Mr. Cullsberg. May God be our purpose and power today. Thank you for taking time to reply to me. I am certainly still learning how to forge, and I expect that to continue. I use mineral coal and my forge is a hole in the ground. One thing I need to remember is not to forge too thin. I like to forge to shape as much as possible, but I try to leave my blade edge just a bit thicker than a dime so it does not warp as easily when I quench it in vegetable oil. When the blade turns black in the oil but is still hot I look for straightness real quick and then I put it between two very heavy solid concrete blocks or put it in my blacksmith's vice. This usually controls most warping. It also is important to put the same amount and heaviness of hammer blows on each side of the blade as much as possible. Try to leave your blade tip thicker and longer than you need. You can grind it down later and it will not tend to warp as much. When you are getting ready to Quench harden your blade you can use a magnet to see if your blade is non-magnetic, which is a pretty god indicator that it is hot enough to quench. Make sure the blade temperature is rising to magnetic and not coming back down to magnetic. Hey, that was probably more info than you wanted!🤐I am getting ready to make a trap spring knife with moose antler handles for a friend. Any tips you can give as I have not worked with moose horn before. Have a blessed day, friend.

That is indeed some juicy information. Thank you Richard. I'll reference this as I proceed.

Hi, I put them up for sale with each video and you can check the availability on instagram @cullsberghandmade

@@VahidCullsberg Thanks for the reply. Not everyone has instagram, such as myself. Oh well ! Thanks anyway.

It's also possible to shoot me an email at cullsberghandmade@gmail.com I don't have a website yet to display the items. I do plan to have one in the future.

😊🙏

Thank you very much. I'm happy you liked it.

Hello, That sounds like a fun, creative and challenging project! I would love to but I don't have a forge at the moment. I do plan to start forging in the future 😊
