This is how i Forged my "5160" leaf spring Serbian cleaver inspired by Almazan kitchen here on KZbin.
I honestly never would have made myself one if not for the customer who wanted one...I tried it out and i was hooked it is incredibly handy and versatile... think bush craft cleaver!!!
CHECK OUT ALMAZAN KITCHEN!!!

hehehehe lovit

[@rangered2010]

Great job forging that blade ! Lots of videos say “ forged” but end up being stock removal! Great tip about the forge scale. I’m in the process of making one myself, will use some of your tips!

[@honeycuttracing]

There are always some smartass know-it-alls on the net as well as in life, keep up the great work man, enjoy these videos!!!

[@CGSmithing]

[@fortransecurities9976]

Very nice knife, definitely going to add it to my must make list. 😁👍

[@johnhoward7298]

You are quite talented ! I admire quality workmanship , regardless of subject . I am a big Fan of this type knife . If I can ever find one that's for sale , that I can examine before I buy it , I will ( examine & buy it .. if the knife is the real thing ) !

[@CGSmithing]

If you ever buy one of the internet do your research on it first. Make sure u search what type of steel it is made out of. Then check charts on edge retention for that steel

[@chuckcordle5711]

Excellent work...... thanks for all the outstanding videos

[@CGSmithing]

Ah thanx man ill keep then coming as best as i can

[@CGSmithing]

lol

[@aaronoverby4830]

Excellent work!

[@CGSmithing]

Glad you like it!

[@shawnmurphy6580]

Im just mad that I never thought to make a flatter like that hahaha Nice knife im sure my wife would like one

[@CGSmithing]

super handy. im gonna weld a upright post on it still for a better striking surface

[@shawnmurphy6580]

@@CGSmithing I need to invest in a welder, you could even upset one end of some like one inch square stock to provide a lager surface to weld and strike, but maybe im just over complicating it lol. None the less itll be a super cheap and easy alterative to forging a flater or buying one

[@CGSmithing]

@@shawnmurphy6580 or piece of square steel drill and tap then thread a handle on

[@shawnmurphy6580]

CG Smithing it’s the simple things that work best and sounds pretty dandy to me haha

[@jonandersen3347]

got to love social media. looks great.

[@CGSmithing]

The trolls are out there my friend they love to keyboard ninja a guy watch out hahahaha

[@erikcourtney1834]

Haters gunna hate. I didn’t see any problem. Most smiths thin it out and forge to rough shape. Then do the rest on the grinder, that is still hand forged. I’ve always removed the forged look and made them smooth. Usually pitch them in acid to darken them. But that’s just my way. Wish I could post a picture of my version of this cleaver.

[@CGSmithing]

i agree with you!!! but hey keyboard ninjas are waaaay smarter

[@dragonwaterforge]

Good job man

[@CGSmithing]

thanx buddy appreciate that

[@rightherewaiting666]

What type of grind are you doing? I’m going to be making one for a friend. I’ll be doing 80crv2 core with Damascus jacket. For the kids of me I can’t find good info on what grind to use.

[@CGSmithing]

I did a full flat grind on it, then when it had a almost sharp edge i put a secondary edge bevel on it, but with a convex grind.

[@goransukovic8703]

You made these guys at Almazan cry, with every new like on a video. 125 $ for Serbian cleaver ? I have neighbor blacksmith . I will buy a damascised blade and with brass rings on a hendle for 80 $ , Hand made. No taxes involved.

[@CGSmithing]

Love it!!!

[@jjppres]

Well done sir. I know you had to show him but screw what those 1 0r 2 people say. It's only because they can't do the same.

[@CGSmithing]

I hear ya jim i hear ya. Glad to see you are well and kickin ass again!!!!

[@ภาวนาเพริศแก้ว]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lisicar31]

How long does it take you to make one knife?

[@CGSmithing]

A day or 2 usually

[@mohdyuslybinmohdyusof7485]

How to order the knife from you?

[@tbkustomknives8907]

What oil do you use to Finnish the handle?

[@CGSmithing]

OSMO Polyx-oil satin finish. it is damn expensive for a small can of the stuff lol. its what they use as a surface finish on resin tables and stuff

[@tbkustomknives8907]

CG Smithing I might have to check it out thanks

[@CGSmithing]

@@tbkustomknives8907 like i said its expensive stuff but worth it. i paid 24 canadian for a small can as tall as a lighter

[@shepardsforgeh2031]

Naw man I still dont believe you hand forged that at all!!!! Lol

[@CGSmithing]

Hahahahaha DAMMIT!!!!

[@darnstewart]

I hate to see bollock clamps being used.

[@CGSmithing]

i try and stay away from them...ive gotten so used to using tongs anyway but when the need arises...

[@shantapaalin8118]

SERBIAN knife..??? here in europe we dont know this term, it does not exist! it is nonsense and comes probably from a false translation, because chinese dont want to spend money for good translation of descriptions - you should not put your work on that level!

[@SSSmithing]

Good work

[@CGSmithing]

thanx man
