  • what is the cost of such a fine piece?

  • @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.

  • @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!

  • Do you know what type of metal i need for forgning Knife?

  • do you guys put hardy holes in the anvil?if so how?it has to be hard as hell to punch a square hole clean through an anvil lol

  • imagine the work and skill that went into making an anvil in the 14th century and before the invention of power hammers.

  • does anyone notice at the end the wooden shaft of the hammer catches on fire ohh and great job

  • Thanks for sharing this process
