Blacksmithing: making billhook knife

[@azwangomok9130]

I like it when he immediately uses the chopper to create its own sheath. Very practical. Same like his other knives too.

Rune, I don’t know if you learned your craft from watching KZbin videos or if you studied under someone. But whoever trained you must’ve been truly a master if any. Your work is nothing short of stunning. And you don’t use any power tools at all. Very inspirational stuff you’re doing here.

[@rider1921]

No electricity.. No engine. This is so beautiful...

[@johnnewton2949]

Thank you Rune. I've only recently come across your channel and am now an ardent fan. Your videos are not only peaceful they are inspiring. I have watched many outdoor and bushcraft channels on You Tube but yours is exemplary - other content providers take note, this is how it should be done. There is no need to spoil a video with your ego.

[@thelastneanderthal3171]

I am fascinated of how you can create such great blades with very basic tools. Old school indeed! I specially liked the birch bark sheet. Well done. Thanks for not having some head banging rock music to distract from the subject and cinematography.

[@millersrusticadventures2935]

It amazes me that such beauty and creativity can be done without ANY electricity and power equipment. Anything can be done with the right knowledge, and determination of taking the time to do so. Awesome video!

[@ДенисТокаренко-у6м]

Рун,попалось опять видео где ты покажешь волшебство, завораживающее зрелище, наверное начну учить английский, чтобы с тобой общаться,я из Коми занимаюсь рыбалкой и охотой так что к ножам имею особый интерес про таких как ты у нас говорят"руки растут из плечей)))))) удачи тебе 🤗

Not only you are skillful in your work, you are a master, you are knowledgeable, you are patient and an artist. You are so clever. You made a type of machete that not only is useful, but it is beautiful. The case is so clever and ingenious that shows how intelligent you are, as well as how sophisticated and artistic. You bring us beauty, you bring us knowledge, you bring us peace, you bring us calmness, you are a blessing. You are the Leonardo Da Vinci of the North Forest. Thank you, thank you thank you.

I'm super impressed by the chopping performance and utility. The hollow forge also looks very practical for sharpening. All around - wish I had one. I reckon I could carve a spoon with it even.

Just found your channel. There is virtue in your methods. Indeed, it’s own virtue. While I understand and applaud, at my age I need every power adding tool in my shop! While I could do things your traditional way, I won’t. My humble compliments from a ranch in Texas.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

As ever, a spectacular video, while this design is not a billhook it looks like a useable tool. Well done and I love your videography and smithing style

[@MrHANGALABANGALA]

its a scandinavian styled billhook. so yes it is a billhook.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

@@MrHANGALABANGALA after some research I have found you are correct, sort of haha. It is a Havukirves or coniferous block bill, not just scandinavian in origin the english have them too! Thanks for the correction mate

[@littleforest]

Than you for this very inspiring movie! Specially the birch-bark sheath will stay in my mind. Interesting to see, that as a blacksmith with lots of sharp carving knifes available, you prefer to use sandpaper to form the handle instead. Anyways, turned out nicely. Greetings from Finland :-)

As always Rune, a great job. I really want to see the billhook in your next bushcraf videos. By the way !!! I saw the three episodes of Alone, and the truth is that I think that, with what you have learned since then, now in the show you could easily win it. A hug friend

[@theweaponartisan9080]

I've never seen a power tool on the channel, very impressive

[@myrtlesyd9451]

The curve on the blade reminds me of those Alibaba movie. Cool video!

[@angelaabrams9108]

I was trying to figure out why the blade was bowed until I saw how well it handles tasks usually performed by a hatchet. Thanks for sharing this amazing little tool.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

Except that hatchets AREN'T bowed....so I still can't think of a reason for the bowed blade. In fact this is NOT the shape of a bill hook knife at all. Bill hooks are shaped like a hook, with the inside edge sharpened. They are straight along the blade edge, and are meant for chopping limbs and cutting small branches off of trees.

[@angelaabrams9108]

@@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs well, if you consider most bits have mirror concave areas between the edge and the eye, they do bow. Either way, they do get thicker as you move towards the handle. By putting a bow in his blade and giving the edge a chisel grind with the flat on the concave side, he's replicating that. The metal doesn't get thicker, but the bow and edge work like a wedge larger than he could get with a flat blade alone.

[@latemcire8387]

Cool project! You could run an eye hook through the scroll as a pivot point and use it as a block knife to make kindling or dowel stock.

[@Rooster1172T]

You sir, have incredible skills! Good job!

[@phoenixveal6517]

I love the handle, beautiful

[@xj9779]

We in Germany got something similar to this but with a sharp hook and without that round grove. The handle is more round with a knob at the end but also pinend often with a tube over the handle to prevent splitting it. Anyway awesome build I like it very much.

[@EqualKinks]

This type of billhook is not a common one among the billhook genre. This type of bill hook is a Hertfordshire pattern billhook. I wouldn't go using them like an ax but they have been used as vinyard tools for cutting ruches, briars, and pruning trees for the past 2000 years. hell of a video great job!

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Your Scandinavian bill hook is so different from Asian and Indian bill hooks . You did Excellent work as always . Thanks for your video and all the best .

[@phillee2814]

Very different to anything used in the UK or described in Wikipedia under that name, too. Not that it detracts from the workmanship in the least, but it certainly wouldn't be anything like the tool I would expect if I ordered a billhook for hedge-laying, brush cutting, or any similar task. That would have a blade which started almost straight near the handle, then curved inwards towards the curved (or hooked) end, creating the bill.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Phil Lee - The bill hook of India and Thailand is quite different and I lived in India and SE Asia for a few years . There are 4 Indian and Asian bill hooks in my collection and have made 3 . I lived in Kent for 2 years and never saw anyone using a bill hook . ATB

[@torbygjordet2533]

It is also different from most scandinavian bill hooks. It looks more like a kindling splitter. A useful tool though.
