Blacksmithing - Forging throwing knives

In this video I show how to make simple throwing knifes from old recycled coil spring. I learned quickly that throwing knives is pretty fun and addictive!

That tree will think twice before sneaking up on you again.

I love how Torbjörn looks like he works in a tech support office yet his level of neatness in blacksmithing is very difficult to come by. I’ve seen professional blacksmiths with twice the amount of tools at their disposal produce some awful ingots for blade smithing and they have to grind their week away. Your precision is a gift and I’m delighted that you share it with us each time you post a video.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@johnjude2685]

Believe he'd is educated for CP type work and background but return to his parents home to raise his family and guess had been helpful for them to have back home. Hopefully I not mistaken. I certainly don't mean any disrespect into his life but wish him the best.

[@johnjude2685]

Sir I'm also a gardener but older. I'm not as flexible as in my youth. Before I'm unable I'm building tools to keep me gardening longer. You probably know older people who also aged and still veggies. I'm planning a long set of tongs for thinning my tiny seedlings such as your carrots will need thinning You can help promote some gardening tools for us older and handicap people who are not quite ready to stop gardening we love our veggies and little fresh air brings joy to many. I'm always amazed by your Blacksmith skills but throwing skills you're needed more practice Buddy love your shop skills. I built a mini post hole digger for setting my seedlings such as tomatoes and peppers. BIG THANKS 😂

[@Hooptyroo]

Love your editing man! I’m always excited to see how your going to “cut” material

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks

[@gtbkts]

It always makes me chuckle.

[@mirek74gpplubliniec38]

Jest super- mało kto tak potrafi. Szacunek wielki!

[@curtisbarkes6271]

Reminds me of how I've seen This Old Tony doing the same thing.

[@ogi22]

Ohhh, not only cutting! I also love those gardening "inserts". In this he reminded me how my grandma used to plant seeds in the soil, making first an indentation with a pole from a rake. Thanks Torbjorn! It was really pleasant to find that memory from my childhood :D

[@BobCaseyAerial]

My dad used to operate a huge hammer for US STEEL. Seeing you operate yours with a Midas touch reminds me of him. I really appreciate your videos. To me, your the best blacksmith on KZbin. Thank you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Bob!

[@fitzchivalryfarseer9646]

Beautiful work as always! Also, I always love the nature portions & seeing your amazing garden. Can't forget about the cats either!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you! 😊

[@wb8ujb]

A true skilled master. I'm still, after so many years of watching, amazed at the level you produce. Not only the skill at forging and blacksmithing, but photography and gardening. Wonderful escape to sit and watch you.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you Robert!

[@NazgulGnome]

I really appreciate how you take time and care even on a simple thing like making a target for your knives. you do it right, even for something that really doesn't matter that much.

[@thelamb288]

Hi, it is too long since I left a comment, so here it is. :D It is ALWAYS a pleasure to watch you at work + you have two wonderful children. Cheers.

[@Stanley-xd1gf]

The best intro ever.

[@mckutzy]

These are a pretty cool build. Now you need to make some throwing axes, like a tomahawk or maybe a double bit throwing axe(s)... Id definitely would like to see that...

[@torbjornahman]

It's on my list somewhere...

[@Giulinlino]

kkkkk I love the magic to cut steel. A hug from Brazil friend!

[@user-lj1ht1de3l]

Викинг , лицо у вас в лесу , ну просто , умора !🤣👍👍👍

[@petermarshall3393]

I had to chuckle to see that we close our garden rows (@10:42) with the same one-handed crab "scootchy-scootch". It's the best ! But we use different "tapping" techniques to produce the precise flow of seeds from the packet. I will soon experiment with your two-handed tap, which is quite different than my one-handed tap. You see, I hold a corner of the packet between thumb and middle finger, using the index finger of the same hand to do the tapping. A small matter, as we both probably proceed with thinning the seedlings in a similar fashion. Best wishes for a bountiful garden to you ! And thanks for yet another enlightening video !

[@torbjornahman]

:) Thanks Peter.

[@MVPDabba]

I love your lifestyle man that’s what im working towards. Doing crafts in the shop until it’s warm and bright enough to tend the garden.

[@workingwithiron]

Thunder bear 🐻 becomes a warrior 🤣🤣 love this torbjorn. Thanks for sharing

[@torbjornahman]

:) :) Thanks Nathan!

[@ShootingUtah]

Forging a double edged knife with ease! That's how you know you're a really good blacksmith! Very few people can forge bevels that good without grinding, let alone a double edged knife 🗡️ !!!

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you!

[@TallCommander]

Perfectly balanced. Like all things should be.

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Those turned out nice, should provide you some stress relief. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.

[@californiagunner7020]

That tree stood no chance against the ninja smithy!

[@johnnydingo8680]

You make it look so simple, but you can not fool me master blacksmith Torbjörn 👍👍 Poor little defense less birch tree 😊

[@Misfortun3]

As much as I love the blacksmithing done in your videos, your garden intermissions are my favorite part of the videos. Cheers

[@GeneSimonalle]

Ahh! The introduction is great. Love the sweater! 🤠❤🔥⚒

[@torbjornahman]

:) Made in Iceland!

[@danielfiedler2189]

Heartly thanks for your easy to cut and to forge ant-fishlipping technic. Estimated time savings: nearly infinite ;) As u say in Germany: Alter Schwede! (Expression of approving astonishment, in lättöl-language: Gammlar svensk! XD)

[@tarot1136]

I really like what you do , it's very difficult now to find knife making videos were 99% of the work is done by forging instead of 99% being made with grinding !

[@alexandrepigozzibravo9108]

You live in a very beautiful and pleasant place, Torbjörn! Congratulations!

I'm very glad you were able to ward off that attacking tree. Who knows what could've happened if you didn't have your trusty throwing knives!!

[@thomasnelson2463]

Now that looks like fun!

[@OperaBass3]

Mild mannered Swedish blacksmith has a secret identity. Ta-poketa-ta-poketa-ta-poketa... I loved your skulking through the bushes.

[@torbjornahman]

:) Ha ha

[@garyhuston]

Very nice!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks Gary! You should make a couple. It's great fun, but also a bit frustrating when you think you got it and suddenly they just bounce off... ha ha.

[@garyhuston]

@@torbjornahman I made one about twenty years ago and was so bad I gave up! I may try again though 😀

[@marcobx65]

I mei complimenti per il tuo lavoro , bravo 👍

[@offpherj7884]

Ending was as we say something you know that thing they say! Nice throwing knives. Thanks for posting...

[@tobiasheal]

Great video as ever, I'm appreciating them even more that I've started an internship on the archaeometallurgy of iron, it's fascinating to see some of the techniques that result in the microstructures I see at work.

[@Chisszaru]

I just love smithing videos from Torbjörn

[@timjackson5555]

Wet the wood before you throw. Great job Sir!

[@electricAB]

🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the smiles! Great video.. as always.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@motd8931]

Always fun times on this channel! And somehow relaxing in the same stroke... Thanks for that!

[@Abrikosmanden]

Snapping steel into pieces is one kind of magic - Another even more impressive kind of magic is the editing required to make it look absolutely seamless. SO impressive! I always love to watch your projects, and I'm increasingly impressed by your videography! This ending really had me laughing :) Keep up the good work, Thunder Bear!

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha, thank you so much Thomas!

Thank you!

[@alasdairmunro1953]

Great looking knives.

[@brandonn2538]

I love watching you build anything, I'm always amazed at how clean your forgings are, if I had forged those knives they would definitely had to have been ground into shape to hide all the imperfections.

[@metubewot]

Great smithy work as always.

[@petermiles8651]

Great work as usual and enjoyable garden intermission 😊

[@stefang1087]

I like your skills as a blacksmith, and I like that you still nourish the kid in you 👍

[@stevec.4387]

What a great talent! Joy to watch.

[@DITH85]

Love this. Throwing knives are good fun! And of course with the usual high quality craftsmanship I think we've all come to expect from Thunder Bear! Even the target was nicely made!!

[@gefginn3699]

Great post my friend. I always enjoy tuning into your newest post. Stay strong, free, happy and healthy ✨️

The movements, the editing, even gets his son involved! The techno rhythm. Love it 💯👌🏽💪🏽

Loved your work, like always 🥰😊🙏

[@dezsokosa9182]

The shape of the knife, like Longinus' spear Nice work, it was a pleasure to watch it made.

[@mikkosnellman]

Tack Torbjörn. Ditt utmärkt arbete är alltid lärorik och roligt att se.

[@sergeysiropchikov1881]

for targets in such cases, end sections of logs are usually used

[@dryroasted5599]

Really like the leaf shape you chose for the blades. You have almost used up that old coil spring; it has served you well for many projects.

[@DeepCreekIronWorks]

Awesome job as always sir. Love your work as always

[@brucek6563]

Great looking throwing knives!! And you know how to throw them!! I am amazed at what you make out of coiled steel!!!

[@sbrahma7395]

How precise hammering...love it...the way you make things...

[@douglasfathers4848]

Amazing work as always , I'm still trying to work out how to cut the spring like you do 👏🤣. I'm going to try make a kitting from angle iron today for my grand daughter , I seen in one of your videos that I have watched 10 times with her . Cheers.🐱🐈

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! Oh, that is great! Good luck and say hi to her!

Really Nice. Thank you.

[@ShootingUtah]

Dang! You're really good at throwing knives! I never did get good at throwing with a spin but got pretty good throwing no spin. Totally different technique but once you get it you don't have to worry about distance quite as much. You throw almost the same way at any distance. I'm going to forge some of these up and see how they do!

[@clydebalcom3679]

Beautiful. A very elegant design. Plus it could also be used as a survival tool.

[@torbjornahman]

The survival bit is probably very limited.

[@clydebalcom3679]

@@torbjornahman Blade is thick enough to dig and cut roots. The one piece design can be lashed to a branch to make a spear. And then there's the throwing part, which can come in handy for small game. You made a winner, my friend.
