Dagger Making- Forging a Medieval Dagger Knife

#knifemaking, #daggermaking, #forging, #wireinlay,
Thank you for watching the video and thank you for the support.
This Dagger is made from 5160 spring steel, and Cherry wood handle. I know I'm not the best at wire inlay but I'll get better, also the diamond setting on the pommel was my first ever and disclaimer the diamond is made of plastic.

[@jasonheilig5312]

I've watch hundreds of videos but i think i learn the most right hear wow

[@vanillanut8908]

Wow! Beautiful work. I'm a dagger nut myself so I can really relate to a lot of what you've done here. I even learned a thing or two! Thanks for taking the time and effort to make and post the video!

[@nwforge2333]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@ironninja9873]

One of the most simple and beautiful Daggers that I have seen yet! Wonderfull Job dude! Do you inspired me tô try make One !

[@nwforge2333]

Thanks for the feedback and you should totally try to make one

[@matthewjackson4297]

Great job and using just basic tools most of us have in our sheds, looking forward to trying some inlay work on my next project.

[@nwforge2333]

Matthew Jackson thank you for the feedback and I think you should try the inlay too. A few tips on that is search up hand engraving tool geometry and look for a little flat chisel that’s what I used. Also make it out of your hardest steel so it hold a edge.

[@gabrielplatte1521]

Wow. Some skill here. Totally "inadequate" tooling and the end result is still beautiful. Subbed. Really hope to see more of this!

[@nwforge2333]

I’m glad you like it.

[@kennetharthur5188]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last months xD

[@raphaeledison9236]

[@karsynzakai9000]

[@nwforge2333]

Slendeer_Games thank you for liking it so much and I’m glad that you want to make your own.

[@jordanhartmann1745]

Really nice. I just finished my first sword, lots of work, so i'm going to make a bunch of daggers to go through all the steps faster. This is a style I will emulate, I like it.

[@JuanVargas-xx2du]

Exelent work! Congratulations! From argentina! Bellisima daga!! Thanks!

[@nwforge2333]

Thank you for the support

[@JesusValdes-m2t]

Exelente trabajo te quedó super bien.saludos

[@radionicsoftware5026]

Good job but try forging the blade and bevels to shape then grinding, it's much faster and well worth learning 👍🏻

[@nwforge2333]

Radionic Software thanks for the tip I’ll try it on some practice knifes then on the real thing

[@ericsimoneau4818]

Love the end result. But you could of save a lot of work by forging much closer to shape. This is more stock removal than forging. All you did was thin the metal under the anvil. But again the end result is awesome.

[@mostafamoradi2186]

I became even more motivated by you this one bro! thanks a lot. please work more one different material for handle

[@nwforge2333]

Thank you I’m glad I motivated you

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

awesome dagger

[@allanpaolomartinezorellana2390]

just beautifull

[@anytyo]

Bravo 👏👏👏

[@LE-6920]

That's right that you make the blade in satin finish, but not in mirror. But the hilt (guard, efesus?) needs to make black (or dark grey) for contrast with the copper inlay. Or inlay must be dark.

[@nwforge2333]

К.В. П. Thank you for the idea I’ll try adding contrast on my future knifes .

[@abolfazlkhodabakhshi3467]

The best, love from iran

[@nwforge2333]

Thank you

[@markgoggin2014]

I’m with you until you use the lacquer on the steel fittings. It gives them a cheap look. There are far better finishes you could use, like beeswax or furniture paste. I’m personally fond of renaissance wax.

thorfinn's dagger

[@mrtadreamer]

What is the blue stone in the end of the handle and how is it attached?

[@DTodd12011]

What is the best primary bevel angle for a dagger?

[@nwforge2333]

I honestly just drew the dagger out in a way that it looks nice I don’t know what angle would be good.

[@kevinholland3831]

I would be interested in buying this, or one like it. How can I contact you?

[@nwforge2333]

I am glad you like it but unfortunately currently I am not selling any of my projects/knifes. However I will let you know when I do start selling them.

[@kevinholland3831]

Thank-you for you're reply. You're doing good work!@@nwforge2333

[@philanthropicnightmare1206]

What was that you were spraying on the blade while sanding?

[@nwforge2333]

I was sparing water on the blade while hand sanding to help sand faster

[@philanthropicnightmare1206]

@@nwforge2333 Gotcha. didn't know that helped. Cool

[@zbudda]

Unfortunately you can’t carry this dagger in public because the blades length is restricted in most modern capitalist countries, but it would be perfect for the female members of your family to carry in the car, along side the drivers seat or a custom polymer knife sheath in the car gas tank cap opening?

[@mailaloomy4219]

Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.

[@geraldstamour1312]

Hella dope results @nwforge2333!
