That would be brutal to do that all by hand without a press and a power hammer. Holy cow.

Man, that is one beautiful piece of art! Rough, rustic, rugged, butcso beautiful! The ironwood is gorgeous!

Hell yeah I’m glad u took my advice and checked out Bigunas, he’s a wizard! So many nice little tips and tricks can be learned from that guy 👍

Bigunas is a national treasure for Brazilian bladesmiths, unfortunately he doesn't get the recognition he deserves

I’ve been watching A. Bigunas videos for a long time. He is a superb knife maker. I learned a ton from watching him

Very happy and proud that you Know and like @alex bigunas 😊

We call it "bolo" here in the Philippines and yes it was a huge knife for small wood (soft wood) projects and survival knife as well as cooking knife, it serves a lot of purpose here it is considered our 2nd amendment in the provinces for self defense 🎉❤🎉❤

Sick chopper! Glad you found the Bigunas channel. He’s a fantastic smith

Glad to see some recognition for our Brazilian smiths

Crocodile Dundee would be proud. Now that’s a knife!

That's a monster of a knife. Amazing work, as always.

Now that is a knife! It turned out awesome as usual! Thanks again Elijah!

Thanks for watching!

I like the music, sick knife.

That desert iron wood has great grain. It sets off the entire knife.

Nicely done Elijah. Big blade.

Respect for that forging! I used a piece of truck spring (maybe 5160?) for a kitchen cleaver. I'm still working on it trying to hand sand it to a nice finish. The quench warped the blade pretty bad and grinding it straight took it thinner than I would have liked. When it is done it will cut meat and vegetables to whatever thickness (or thinness) I want, but it will be absolutely useless for chopping through bones. It's more of a Frankenstein chef knife than the cleaver I wanted to make. Next one I will take a few lessons from this vid and try them. Thanks.

I got a lot of truck springs that i use to make my own knives. Anneal it it makes it crack and warp less .

Thanks for your humble attitude. We can learn from your trials. My first spring steel knife was made into a machete. That certainly was not the goal. I wanted something much smaller. Leaf springs offer MASS.

Excellent sword :) Just kidding, beautiful work, great process video.

5160 is my favorite metal for large knives and hatchets. I have made dozens of knives with it and several tomahawks as well as two swords. One thing I have found out with it is that it doesn't forge weld as easily as most other steels.

Definitely got some talent there on display!

Shurap is a great knife maker, base in Ukraine, very good knife BTW awesome job bud

Nicely done once again

Good looking, beafy knife. 👍

Crikey now that’s a knife

That look is awesome. It’s rough and rugged but flawless and elegant.

Desert ironwood was a great choice.

Thank you

Now that's a knife!! Beautiful work as always!

Thank you for all the work you do

I know a guy that owns 20+ gravel trains. Michigan doubles. Just started blacksmithing, he has many, many broken leaf springs.

Crocodile Dundee would approve. 😳😂😂

Its pronounced “Bee-Goo-Nass" but close enough 😂 Master Bigunas is a wizard. 👍🏻

I love the design, I'm a Bowie nut and own several.

You will be able to make a lot of knives out of that spring. Huge.

That is a beautiful knife. I am partial to the bigger blades.

Awesome as always.

This is cool, man 💪⚒️🔥

Excellent work man! I remember as a young man in Hawaii, the Filipinos there were always making knives out of leaf springs. Particularly, Volkswagen leaf springs. I don’t know why, but they said it was the best steel. This was back in the 80’s so maybe it’s different now but back then, it was all about Volkswagen leaf springs. German steel back then? Probably. This is the first time since then that I’ve seen anyone using a leaf spring to make a knife and that old memory just popped to mind.

Thank you

Turned out real nice

Very cool. classic Bowie knife. Using recycled materials always a plus 👍 I have a big old truck leaf spring that I salvaged I would love to have the means to turn it into some useful items. Good choice of wood for the handle I have a supply of ironwood I've collected out in the desert when I visit quartzsite really beautiful wood.

(Best Australian accent) now that's a knife

Nice. It would be cool to have a swedge on it...

You using the side of your hammer to make that step was oddly satisfying, I might be a psychopath 😭

Step back crocodile dundee 😅😅. Awesome job job bud .keep up the great work.

Good job

Cool blade, thanks for sharing!

Well done, sir. As always, very much enjoyed the video.

Always enjoy Watching you work, awesome👍

Nice Monster Bowie; some thoughts that occured to me as you were working through shelling the integral bolster. 1. Getting a nice balance point (matchete like for chopping or more camp knife oriented). 2. Would a thru tang and pommel or integral guard/bolster add or detract from the design, as something to use some of the extras metal? 3. A sweet little Bird & Trout 4 inch blade, in the same steel would make fun companion set, IMO. Love you openly talking thru areas that went well and those that were challenging.

Great content! Thanks

Wow! Huge.

She's a beaut

Wow, Paul Bunyan edc. Very nice knife, and commentary!

Cool knife - good job. Stay safe.

what a monster

Amazing work! I'd love to add that to my collection of blades!

Damn son that's one hell of a Knife! Even Crocodile Dundee would be proud to carry it. 🤣

I used a thick small size of leaf spring to forged the blade,it makes the huge blade

Excellent job!

Whackin' *HUGE* blade! I LOVE the rustic look, especially the handle - it might not have been what you initially intended, but it looks AWESOME. Honestly, the only change I'd have made would be to have ground a false edge to the clip point.

Great job! Integrals aren't easy 👏

Extremely nice work, nice shop, great video! Thank you.

I love the raw look of the Blade :)

Beautiful blade

Great looking blade.

Nicely done

Beautiful blade.

Fun build!

Nice work as always!

Awesome

Looks awesome!

Hmmm, what a nice piece 😺

Awesome build as always. I made my self a Bowie out of a dually truck spring. It's tough as a rattlesnake, while forging and after lol.

Forklift tines are made out of similar steel, so if you insist on something even larger. The big forklifts have tines a foot wide. Samson's sword?

61. Rock well, it’s still extremely hard in my opinion.

Those are quite common here in europe. They have a distal taper built in what safes a lot of work when forging the pre form for a sword. Also its thickness is good to forge integral guards

Very nice!!

Very nice!

Nice work, dude - just the title of the clip is a little confusing… that’s not a knife… it’s a full grown sword😁

Well done!!

crocodile dundee approves

Not sure if it was my suggestion you saw, but I did recommended his channel at a comment on your video. And you nailed his last name... ("Begoonas") But the "x" in his name is pronounced as in "sh". So It's more like "Aleshandre" it's "dre", as in Andre.

Cool!

Very nice!! ❤

Excellent,,, get you a case of beer for that (NOT Bud Lite)

Elijha that came out amazing maybe you can make some butcher dies for the integrils? a friend offed me a leaf spring from a peterbuilt if older should be good for knives or at least practice thanks Mark 😃👍👍

It's already sold

cleaver with a point.

That's more of a chopper than a Bowie. Still a good knife.

Az igen!

outstanding ❗🔥🚙🇺🇲
