You should have at least made more of an octagonal shape before twisting because the corners risk being folded over creating cold shuts.

Is there a particular oil used to bring out the pattern of the steel? I feel dumb asking, but it often seems like Smiths use something special for that but it's never said. I'm looking to get into smithing soon, and while I won't be forging Damascus for quite some time, having the knowledge stored away would be nice. Thank you for the detailed video as well.

Jason should stick to knives, he obviously knows nothing about music history. There are lots of documentaries on the Beatles, so instead of running his mouth about stuff and making himself look so ignorant, maybe he could watch one and that might clear up the facts about the issue for him. Love the knives, but being a slight TV personality doesn't make him a know it all on every subject. After his stupid comments I have a mind to unsub, it's that bad.

Thank you for this video. I live in Sweden in an area where blacksmithing is a secret art and the blacksmiths keep it so. The usual answer I get when I go to a blacksmith and talk about blacksmithing is; I don’t what to create a competitor. This video is the start of me knowing what to do. I have tried blacksmithing a couple of times, but when you don’t know what to do or why, you get fed up really quickly. Now I can start properly.

@yankee2yankee2162 ай бұрын
It may be by hand, but it’s a 2-man process! A striker is like having a small trip hammer. It’s a lot of work because tool steel, even yellow hot, is pretty stiff. It doesn’t move easily!

Just getting started myself. I made my first knife around 5 years ago at my Batchelor party. My best friend took me to a class. Since then I have been working and slowly gathering tools and supplies. My second knife ever is almost ready for heat treat. I love to cook so I’m focusing on making knives I can use in the kitchen. We raise our own chickens, I hunt deer in season, and we garden during the planting and growing season. What should I use for handles as a beginner? Scales or burn in? There is plenty of hickory at my disposal but I have not yet cut near as much as I like to and I know the wood needs to be stabilized before using as a handle. Any advice would be MOST appreciated! Thanks in advance!
