Not a bad way to go if someone doesn't want to invest in all the tools required for forging a knife. Good quality blades can be cut from the right stock, especially tool steal. That's how big manufactures make knives anymore. They just stamp the blanks out from steel sheet, CNC the the shape, and finish it off with a light grind/polish.

i like your unique handle. i think you did a great job

nice work as usual. how long does it take to get the correct temperature with your method? i'm struggling myself for hardening steel with a bbq, not really a good way to get it.

@imadethischannel

Thanks! It doesn’t take long. Containing the heat with firebricks really helps. In this case it to ok maybe three or four minutes to heat it to a cherry colour.

that knife is shit. look at the bevels. look at the handle. the geometry is likely worse than what you'd find on a $10 grocery store knife.

How does the hardness test work? You scrape the edge with a file and if no filings come off it's hardened right?

@imadethischannel

Жыл бұрын

Yes, if the file doesn‘t cut into it, the knife is harder than the file. Tempering then relieves some of that hardness.

1095 rusts easier than stainless, will you have to do sitting special to keep it from rusting, or is that not even a worry?

@imadethischannel

Жыл бұрын

True, it rusts more easily. But this type of knife is usually not made from stainless because carbon steels can be harder. Also, stainless steels are harder to heat treat at home. tried it once and failed…

Жыл бұрын

If you take a simple steel like 1095, you heat it until it is red hot and loses its magnetism. Then you quench it in oil. Other steels have different requirements. You should read up on the steel you buy and watch a few of the many good videos on heat treatment. And be sure to take appropriate safety precautions. But it’s a fun process!
