Have you or do you ever forge your blades? As in, hammer and anvil shaping the blade and setting the weld or do you just do stock removal?

@FlatlineKnives3 күн бұрын

I forge many of my knives. Integrals, many of my chefs knives, and any of my own damascus and San-Mai are hand forged. If I am working a material that doesn't like being forged on a bias, like stainless San-Mai or Baker Steel, I will do stock removal.

So 3 years have went by, how is the hammer doing?

@FlatlineKnives11 күн бұрын

Honestly it's still going strong! I used it forging an integral chef last week lol. I never re-handled it like I thought I would. I like that I can make precise strikes with it, especially when I'm refining the choil area.

I'm not a blacksmith but tying a knot in red- hot metal seems HARD. Looks amazing!

@FlatlineKnives19 күн бұрын

It's definitely a fun challenge, especially the more technical knots like the bowline. I'm glad you like it!

Something lighter moves easier than something heavy. Same principle as a slide hammer. That’s the reason hitting the back of the handle drives the head up. The heads actually staying motionless while the handle is moving faster

Yea destruction of US currency is a federal offense. You do know that right? Your opening statement seems petty and ignorant. Stop destroying US currency!

@FlatlineKnivesАй бұрын

Thanks for your comment. It is not illegal to repurpose US currency as art. That's why there are Penny squishing machines at every tourist attraction across the country. Those aren't illegal, and neither is this. It's only illegal if you deface currency in an attempt to spend it or increase its value as a US currency, which I'm obviously not doing 👍

Fantastic video. Thank you! I bought several nice knives over the years. Got on a Cold Steel Tanto kick. Got one of theirs with San-Mai steel and was wondering how in the world anyone could get softer steel to bond to a middle layer of harder steel. Thank you again for sharing. If I could afford it, I would love to get one of your knives. They are certainly a representation of a time in your life.

Why did u put paper between the forge welds?? I have seen it done on canister bt why here??

@FlatlineKnives Жыл бұрын

I've had good luck using it to burn off any excess oxygen from between the layers at the time of forge welding. These metals don't really like being joined, so getting the area as clean and oxygen-free as possible is super important.

The hammer\handle trick is down to inertia. The head has lots the handle has little. The handle moves a lot when hit, the head stays "still" in space. See mum I did learn something at school!

@Triumph27272 жыл бұрын

What was the purpose of the paper between layers?

@FlatlineKnives2 жыл бұрын

It burns up any of the air that may have been trapped between the layers after welding the billet together. It turns into carbon ash and helps facilitate a clean bond between the 410ss and the core high carbon steel.
