Knifemaking & Leatherworking - Forging an Integral San Mai Frontier Knife

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This knife is not for sale due to a tiny delamination shown at 24:13
My second integral knife ever if you count the funky titanium one I made 2-3 years ago. In any case this was a great learning experience as I decided to try and up it a bit by making it a San mai blade as well. Turned out pretty nice but I would've liked a thicker and especially wider bolster (the integral part of the handle) as it does leave a bit to be desired when gripping the knife closer to the blade for a firmer grip.
Thanks for watching!

    Very awesome, having an integral bolster is one thing, its another to have one with a forged finish, and keeping the high carbon bit centered as well? That makes it that much more impressive And it takes some guts to show off the one little flaw that is neither detrimental nor easily visible

    Jesus loves you, and His return is close, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, He will judge us, and all are guilty. But Christ died for you, to wash your sins clean, He offers hope to the hopeless and salvation to the lost. If you are struggling, come to Christ, if you are lost, seek His face, He is waiting for you. Repent and put your faith in Jesus.

    @@MakeNCreate I've enjoyed watching you do it the hard way for a few years now. Dont take anything i say too personally, im just some schmuck on the internet. But, that was a big appeal for me, was the old methods, old foot powered forge, and the way you sped up your hammering. To me, it was uniquely you. Plus, the powered hammer takes more of the human out of it. Again, this is all just some schmuck electrician perspective. So, dont take it to heart. Id certainly ignore people telling me how to use what tools i choose. Original comment was purely a troll and being a negative nancy about change. I still enjoy your stuff regardless, but always respect those who sling a real hammer more than those who use a big fucking machine to do it for them. Anyways, continue doing you.
