This is a picture slide-show of me making myself a knife, with all the tools I used to make it at the end of it.

Music is "Cold Wind To Valhalla" by Jethro Tull

  • nice work, at what temp and for how long did you soak the blade to soften it.

  • @allancormier thx, I annealed the blade in my wood oven, so I don't know exactly what temperature was but you can go with 200 degrees Celsius in two turns each for an hour. So put the blade in the oven at 200 for an hour, then let it cool down at room temperature, then repeat that once more.

  • Hi just a question about the forge, did you make it yourself? If so how?

  • @pooh1234567890 Yes, I made forge my self. It is just 13 fire brick arranged to make a casing for metal pipe over which I set fire. Metal pipe is about 10 cm in diameter, one end is sealed with beer can and face of pipe is drilled with about 10 5 mm holes so the air from hair dryer from the other side can blow into the fire.Tell me if you understood, if not I can make some pictures. But really it is very very simple forge and I use just plain oak wood as fuel.

see all

  • Many a dude took many a day to make themself a really ugly knife... but this one's a beauty!

  • @mirkosrndovic Ok, thank you.

  • @RAMBOKIDx7 Thank you very much! I don't have finishing compounds, I don't even know where to find it in my country, but 2000 grit sand paper does a good job for polishing.

  • very nice

  • @RAMBOKIDx7 *Finish*

  • @mirkosrndovic Do you need any polishing compound for the nice blade finih, or just really fine sandpaper?

    Thanks,

    Btw, one of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen.
