  • Looks like that will make a nice knife. I'm into primitive skills as well as blacksmithing. Seems like folks would be using a very simple early (primitive) style coal forge rather than a gas one at an event like Rabbit Stick though.

  • Well, my guess is that the instructors wnated the convenience and consistency of the gas fired forge so they could have students focus on technique. Remember, many of the students who do this class probably do not even know how to seriously sharpen a knife. So banging on a railroad tie spiek and having it turn in to a very useable knife is a big deal for them. There are a lot of students at Rabbit Stick who experience it as their first time to ever car camp.

  • All I did in this was the video part. I have little actual experience with forging.

    I had some maybe 40 years ago. I have not taken it up as I very color blind, so being able to see the reds and oranges is just not some thing I can do. Which means that I will probably never be able to do this on my own. Yet I am sure there are a lot of black smiths with web sites who could answer your question.

  • mate i am repairing a old dozer and have some forged steel or cast steel parts that need straighting thay hold the front idler wheel straight and are bent do you think it would be ok if i heat them in a forge and fix them on the anvil/ them slow cool down .

  • nice look for the knife
