Forging A Cu Mai EDC

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I will be forging my first ever cu mai. I will be forging a cu mai sheeps foot as practice to get the feel for cu mai and to further along my skills so I can transfer it to more practical knives such as hunting knives and chef knives. I will explain my process and why I chose to go this route. Please enjoy and dont forget to subscribe and like!

Hey guys, my name is Jesus Perez and I’m a beginner bladesmith and very novice blacksmith. I got unto bladesmithing from watching Forged in Fire on tv as well as tons of KZread. Forging is a great way to learn new skills and develop skills in the diy world as well as building confidence to fabricate your own handmade tools for everyday use. Join me in this new community I'm creating of knife making and making other custom tools.

    Jesus, I’m a Novice as well, although I spent 45 years in a welding/ fabrication & heavy construction career. I’m really enjoying your channel, I’m learning a ton. Thanks for your channel.

    I have been experimenting with Damascus forge welding w/o flux with great success, Thanks to your great video, tomorrow I will scrounge some copper and try to forge one myself. I will be doing about the same as you, 1095 for the center and then the copper and for the last 2 outside sheets will be 15n20 and as usual no flux to ruin my forge. If it works I will send you a pic. Thank you for the inspiration Dave.

    Its pretty simple as long as you dont over heat it and melt the copper. Good luck 👍
