@prokopto Also keep in mind that power hammers have been around for hundreds of years. They just haven't always been powered by hydraulics or electric motors, the earliest ones were mostly powered by water. But they existed nonetheless.

@prokopto Keep in mind that they didn't make anvils in the form that we recognize them today in the 14th century, they were considerably different, and more primitive, and smaller, back then.

@MyLidas get a truck spring, they make good knives. if you really want to get into making good knives look up damascus steel. good luck!

@mannhorn34, there are 3 already made about 15, 35 and 50 pounds, and the price for these start at aobout $500. For a custom one like what we're doing in the video, the cost will vary depending on size, obviously, but rough guess would be $2500-3500.
