Forging AVATAR MOVIE Na’vi hunting Knife
Forging the Avatar movie hunting knife from two rusty nuts. See me forge, process and decorate some scrap metal into a very beautiful Na’vi dagger - the wing claw of an ikran. I think that Jake Sully would like this.
About the Avatar Navi hunting knife
The Na'vi hunting knife is used by all the members of a Na'vi clan. The blade of the knife is made from the wing claw of an ikran. An ikran is a large, dragon-like aerial predator and all young Na’vi hunters must tame their own ikran in order to become a real hunter.
Me Forging the knife
I found the 2 nuts in a scrap metal container outside my garage last summer. Yes, I do metal dumpster diving. (The luxury life of a youtuber). And for a long time I have thought about creating this legendary Avatar Knife.
So I did a sketch and then started by cutting the nuts open with an angel grinder and heated them up to around 1100-1200°C then I opened the nuts up on the horn of my anvil and forged 2 flat pieces of metal. Of the first piece of metal I formed the blade of the knife and from the second piece of metal I formed the handle. There was of course a lot of metal filing, angle grinding and hand grinding involved in this metal working process of the blade and knife handle to achieve the correct dimensions and look.
Then I welded the two metal pieces - blade and handle - together. I know that this is a deathly sin that I could get hanged fore in the blacksmith community. You always do a knife in one piece of metal. After the metal was united, I decorated the knife with marking and scratches so it would look more like a Na’vi knife made of a claw from a wild ikran.
Then I hardened the knife with heat and oil and sandblasted it to achieve a matte raw metal look.
I coloured the metal black with a fast-acting liquid used to blacken metal or antique brass, copper and bronze part. Very poisoning stuff. So remember safety gear if you work with this at home.
At last I gave it the final touch with 4 colours that I use to dry paint on tiny details. I gave it a very simple handle of burlap and burlap laze. As a little extra I engraved a tiny “Jack Sully” on the bottom of the handle. I really think that this ended up looking like a real Avatar Na’vi Hunting Knife - one that Jake Sully would be proud to wear in the movie.
Me and my family are going to the cinema during Christmas holidays to see the Avatar 2 movie. We are really looking forward to seeing this beautiful cinematic masterpiece that James Cameron has created. We were very thrilled about the Avatar 1 movie, so we have high expectations of this 12 year later successor.

Not gonna lie, I found your channel a few days ago and just as a general rule I always speed up forging videos because, often, they tend to drag on. I did speed this up, but not for the same reason; I actually thoroughly enjoy watching your methods and craftmanship, but I was just too damn excited to see the finished knife. The attention to detail and the subtle additions like "Jake Sully" are absolutely perfect. You're a real artist man and I consider it a privilege to watch you work. I haven't found a smith in a while that I'm this excited to follow. Awesome job man.

Oh Martin, you always make the wait for one of your spectacular videos, so worth it. This was one such video so worth the wait! I too, loved the first Avitar movie 🎬 and can hardly wait for the second. As usual, your description of the video was so well written and clear👏! And, I so appreciate your wonderful sense of humor with the comments about the "luxury life of a KZreadr" as well as mist likely being hung for the 'sin' of welding the two pieces of metal to form the knife 🔪 😀! I love it when you make me laugh ❤️! And yes, I totally 'get' your sense of humor!! I wish you and your family tge most wonderful of Christmases 🎄 and hope your holiday outing to the Cinema to see Avitar 2, is as good as you'd hoped and more. Merry, merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ my friend!
