Forged Wood Carving Knife from a Car Spring

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
The main reason for making this knife was for some practice at forging and blacksmithing and to try and learn! I had fun, I definitely learned and I know I can do better next time. The knife works wonderfully though, so I'm still very happy with it and I'm very pleased with the overall design!
Now I need to package it and put in the post as this one isn't for me. I made it for one of my supporters on Patreon.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Forging advice: Don't put your thumb on the handle, it will lead to repetitive stress injury (tennis elbow). Wrap all the way around the handle. Life the hammer from your shoulder, not the biceps, it involves more and larger muscle groups and you'll get tired slower and get a lot more power. Great project!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much for the advice, definitely makes sense! :)

“I made this jig so I can build this rocket into space using the band saw.” - Pask 2023 This is how great I think he is.

[@captbuscemi]

Love it! Classic Pask style - honesty about setbacks and how you overcame them to produce an amazing piece!

[@zekeq1523]

In the beginning misheard and thought you were gonna make the actual blade out of aluminum. Was thinking you lost your mind lol

[@charliebowen5071]

Zeke b me too.... I rewind the video thinking past has forgotten his meds. Lol

[@ryderchristen1256]

Same

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Yup... watching the design transfer to fresh paper for the cutout, and thought THAT was the template he was talking about for a second... then registered "make it out of aluminum so it'll last longer"... and my face scrunched up horribly... till I realized he was talking about an aluminum template... terminology... TERMINOLOGY!!! ...maybe I should lay off the damn word-games... ;o)

[@eizzle78]

Zeke b yeah I was really curious how an aluminum knife blade would last longer than steel 🤣

[@louisvictor3473]

@@eizzle78 WOul last longer than paper one though. You all just got the wrong point of reference!

[@alainmoran8560]

Thank you! The idea of using a step drill and then filing into a taper is pure genius :D

[@ragnkja]

That’s a nice and sharp knife. Looks like it’ll be a great carving knife.

[@ookami112]

Greetings from finland !Great job again Pask ! that looks a lot like finnish woodcarving knife ! we call it "Puukko" if u break the word "PUU" means wood... Carpenters, fishers ,hunters , lumberjacks, and woodcarving artist all use this type of knife in finland.... some have little bit longer or wider blade and the body goes thru the handle everytime... nothing FULLTANG SHIT here... Knifemakers in finland burns with the knifebody to be exact to the handle while in final heating prosess... and they put little piece leather between copper and wood.... wood expands and shrinks even with this direction just a little bit.......I Love ur channel Pask.. these videos make my day sometimes :D

[@edoconnor3840]

Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!

[@billsutherland2128]

Very impressed when you cut the end grain and left a polished edge. Great video! I’ve watched this video many times, and have learned something new every time. Thank you Mr. Pask.

[@bennierheeder7015]

I love seeing you use all the different tools you’ve made over time, making more tools. Great vid.

[@mecky1963]

Absolutely stunning. Always with an added value. THX!

[@Craftswright]

Did anyone else get a little freaked out by that sound around the 12:22 mark? "Was that an ambulance? A dirt bike? Or some feral bush animal sneaking up on Pask?!?"😂

[@andrewFull]

Nice touch filing the facets on the ferule. Great work.

[@bufford14]

Good job Pask love your videos and how you narrated them as well.

[@craftie6ix196]

Brilliant! Great to watch as making carving knifes at the moment and will be tweaking , ok copying a few things!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Nothing better than a sharp knife/chisel, the sounds of it cutting wood is glorious 😊 Great build Neil, well done 🏆👍🏼

Excelent project. Congratulations My friend

[@rentregagnant]

Great video - yet again! Love seeing you use all those tools you made yourself as earlier projects.

[@telmanxalilov5342]

Good job 👍🏽 hello from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 I like this knife 🔪

[@jaxibarton8602]

There's not many feelings better than when a nice sharp file bites into some copper or other soft metal

[@christofix]

Another awsome build! Today i was working in my shop and I was thinking i need a carving knife. I was searching where to buy one, but you just make it yourself. That inspires me now! Thanks

[@rafaeldaulet59]

Thanks, Neil! As always, so neat, well-thought-through, and enjoyable work you display:) into the next video we go!:)

[@LyndonBontrager]

You are a magician, sir. Great touches with the copper accents. I love your work!

Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Alex! You should definitely give it a go - have fun! :)

[@captainsquee471]

Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!

[@ThePaulus2010]

That's so amazing! Job well done! Love the video and b am very jealous of the knife!

[@stevebettany8778]

First of your videos I’ve ever seen. Interesting video on many levels - I was particularly fascinated with your band-saw jig, so I’m going to hunt for your video on how to make that...

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks - glad you found it interesting! :)
