Forging A Knife With A Leaf - No Grinding

This knife is 100% hand forged from a coil spring using a ASO (anvil shaped object) I wanted to see how well I could forge a knife with no intention of grinding the shape after. I also tried to forged a leaf on the end of the knife to be used as the guard.

I am so glad to see a blade made properly, hammer forged, not cut or ground with an angle grinder. So very refreshing. Thank you!

[@ieatcaribou7852]

That’s some seriously nice hammer accuracy. I love the forged look and minimal grinding look, so much nicer than fully shined blades (to me). Shame that leaf didn’t work out, I can’t count how many times I’ve ended changing a design midway through. Great job!

[@LawnMowerProductions]

For a sec I thought he meant he was gonna use a leaf as the hammer 😂

[@matthewperhne5562]

Yeah I did to I think it's supposed to be leaf spring

[@drstrangefart]

That blade came out beautiful. I like the leaf, that's something I'd weld to one of my shop fixtures as an ornament.

[@douglasfathers4848]

I am glad you cut the leaf

[@teddonovinchi3800]

Your a bad ass knife maker brother!!

[@razvanburada1648]

Always good to see your work! Gotta follow that creative vision.

[@TheJCJexe]

I like this rough forged look

[@80spodcastchannel]

lots of character in that blade.... I like it

[@tonynapoli5549]

Different but a nice looking knife Thanks for sharing 👌☝️🇬🇧

[@christianwolfington8510]

I liked the D-guard idea! It would be awesome if one day you tried a one piece bowie knife with an attached D-guard!

[@dr.grind1154]

great video 😁 your next project should be a long sword 😌 but for now outstanding job 🗡✌🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒

[@PJTForging]

Let your steel heat up more to a yellow colour... will make hammering onto it a LOT easier and you will move material much faster. :) Looks good though! :)

[@busterposey9683]

I think that the camera just couldn’t capture the colour of the knife and that’s why it looked yellow

[@expandflextape4386]

Issa knife

[@danuke4254]

That’s not a knife this is a knife

[@scorpion8720]

👍👍👍

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

That is amazing. Do you have to worry about rust with a knife like that. I suppose, if would not really get wet, but if it did, would it rust or do you do something to prevent that?

[@marlontindugan5434]

❤❤❤❤❤👊

[@pantheon508]

Oh yeah yeah

[@joshuasamuels4802]

What are you gonna make with one of those rollors? You've had that huge bearing for a while. Awesome knife btw...

[@WARRIORofHARDCORE]

would buy/10

[@melvinwilliams3307]

Just got done with basketball now I need to relax

[@thegit8698]

I like that type of unfinished brut-de-forge look

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

Jas Ward Me too. Wish blacksmiths would do this much more often than they do.

[@parkeranderson2562]

It seems so natural to me

[@parkeranderson2562]

Liek the olden days, so cool

[@brianriley1810]

No gringong,, You in first 3 seconds 😂

[@jam-motovlog9237]

Dude you did great. Please if you have extra financial send me one of your made.

[@ElChalillo]

Where can I buy a knife?

[@manickn6819]

Good hardcore project. Too often on forging videos much of the work is done on the grinder.

[@damaicai1325]

😈

[@danuke4254]

What happened to no grinding

[@LiamJPenn]

I might need to steal your idea of punching holes in the handle...

[@bswtsp21]

Looks like your hand would slip right up the knife blade. Unless you’re supposed to put your fingers in the holes, which are kinda small?

[@gavocrazy]

Knives have been made for a long time without guards. If you grab it with purpose and thrust your probably going to be alright. Besides slashing's always an option too. Stab at soft spots. Bladder, kidneys, neck, etc. Or just use it like the tool that it is and just cut with it. It doesn't have to be a weapon.

[@bswtsp21]

Gavin D. Ok, fair, but it might still be nice to have like a nub to guard your fingers from the blade, no?

[@Mr.Saephan503]

bswtsp21 - I don't know what you plan on doing with knifes but if you have to put that much force into cutting something then you either need to sharpen you knife or use a bigger one. Lol

[@gavocrazy]

@@bswtsp21 go buy a cheap classic Mora 1 or an opinel No8 and you'll realize you don't need one.

[@danuke4254]

Finnish style puukos i elegies their called have been used for longer than we can imagine without guards

[@rhino5419]

Not pretty like the others but WHAT A BEAST!!! Love it. Good health and stay safe.

[@Jjftbb]

Jake..... Patreon 7 here.... Got my gig overseas so I'll be back supporting you triple next month brother. Tony

[@sammidwood404]

Why not leave the leaf attached curl it over on itself bring it up into a D guard ya got a pretty functional trench knife

[@julianogoncalves2382]

[@erolari9671]

[@BerzerkerGatzu]

Looks like Asumas knives from Naruto.

[@grahamparr4710]

Do not mean to be picky but I definitely saw some grinding, you could have filed the edge.

[@joaquintorres7325]

Make a bowie

[@garrybeard2031]

Like it. how much for it 👍🇬🇧🍺🔪

[@minguelfiadinhohgd6401]

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

I kind of like it not so cleaned up with the rough look. It looks medevil

[@930aladdin]

Throwing knife?

[@justicekaton8715]

No grinding? You used one to grind edges

[@castsmith6783]

now forge a knife using tree leaf

[@viniciussbenz4301]

Could make some interesting patterns if he made a rather flat one and used it as a stamp of sorts

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

There was I waiting for you to get out an impressive leaf and forge a knife with it, then around 7 minutes in, I knew it wasn't coming.......so disappointed!!

[@Mann._0]

I was thinking of an actual leaf from a tree

[@jan_kx2984]

Dude, you have over 300k subs, what about a real anvil? 😂

[@viniciussbenz4301]

Why? That works perfectly well

[@gavocrazy]

He's forging knives isn't he? There's videos of Nepalese blacksmiths forging kukris on makeshift anvils that are basically just sledgehammer heads embedded in logs.

[@jan_kx2984]

@@viniciussbenz4301 Of course, but you can get a good used anvil (especially good, old ones) for about 100-200 bucks. I purchased a german one with about 220 pounds (100kg) from 1882 of ebay for 100€ (I live in Germany) and it is just crazy what a quality product even such an old anvil is! You have much more possibilities when using a real anvil with a horn and a square horn. The hardened surface is way tougher then a steel block and it helps a lot while forging. And with a hard holy you can use lots of tools simplifying your work and make it much more precise! Well, if you don't have much money, a steel block or even an old brick would work, but if you have the chance to pick up a cheap anvil, especially old ones, this would be a way better choice and a significant improvement to the quality of your work. You can even say, an old anvil is better than a modern or new one, because on the one hand it is way less pricy and on the other hand it is much more high-quality.

[@jan_kx2984]

@@gavocrazy Never the less it works, but things like the handle he had to cut of could have been made with more precision and with a better result on an anvils horn. And, as I said in my previous comment, you can get high-quality used ones for only 100-200$.

[@danuke4254]

I would highly discourage the use of a brick for forging and even most (not all) rocks as they are extremely brittle and you don’t even have to miss a hit for them to shatter

[@garyvancollins6762]

That’s a coil spring not a leaf spring.

[@iantorque]

That was the exact same thing I was thinking... 🤣

[@Marc-qo1gz]

That’s not leaf it’s spring

[@joshuanoyes9317]

No grinder? First tool used is an angle grinder...

[@samnottheotherone4363]

Technically he said no grinding not no grinder. He used a cutting disc not a grinding disc.

[@chrisdacosta8266]

No need to defend him Sam. Someone just wanted to feel special and instead showed the usual arrogant driven stupidity.

[@Xoyero]

Quita la pintura primero que no cuesta nada 👌
