Forging a Custom Bowie

[@georgeburke6336]

It's cool that you take the time and explain what you are doing, and why you are doing it. People just starting out making knives can learn a lot from your videos.

That is really cool how you stretched the steel of the tang from about a inch to the length you needed it. That is a true art.

Looks nice, Eli. 👍

[@georgeburke6336]

Beautiful knife.

[@georgeburke6336]

That is awesome thst you do everything by hand. You don't use one of those hydraulic press things. Doing everything by hand seems to be more natural. The way our fore fathers did it.

[@georgeburke6336]

Have you ever made anything from the steel from a anvil? If so, was it hard to make the shape you wanted with your hammers?

[@TRICOTSTRICOTS]

How do I contact you about custom order? What is your email address? Many thx!!!

[@georgeburke6336]

Everytime I try to sharpen a knife it ends up duller than when I started. Is there a fool proof sharpener anywhere on the market?

[@georgeburke6336]

If you made a knife from the steel of a anvil, would that be a very strong blade?

[@therainyforge]

Not sure tbh, it would depend on what was used to make the anvil, tool steel perhaps?
