[@darthjarjar2742]

Same goes with blacksmithing TBH

[@jeanladoire4141]

As a blacksmith, most of my blades take like 20 or 30 minutes to forge, up to like 3 hours for a damascus, and then hours and hours (and sometimes days) to turn it into an actual knife. Forging is like 20% of the work.

[@franciscoferraz6788]

@@jeanladoire4141 Do you do brute to forge? Cause a lot of people I see on here just forge a rectangle and then sand a knife out of it lol. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that you're not forging a knife if you're doing that. You're really forging a brute and then working it cold until it's a knife.

[@jeanladoire4141]

@@franciscoferraz6788 nope, i'm actually forging my blades, from bevels to engravings. After i'm done forging, my edge is between 1mm and 1.5mm. I forge extremely thin, for doing the exact opposite : not having any material to remove during the grind pretty much. I also don't have a belt grinder, i do my finishes with files, angle grinder, stones, and sandpaper. I don't like when people squeeze a spatula and carve a knife into it. That's not blacksmithing to me, that's just squishing. I also use a charcoal forge, and i do my heat treats the old way, in the fire.

​@@vincedibona4687virtually no structural integrity due to the lack of compressive force and tempering. Dull, brittle, and heavy. A forged piece of metal (copper, bronze, iron, steel) will be strengthened by the process of hammering and heating, then made flexible and resilient through heat tempering. Look up metal crystalline structure, it's fascinating.
