Just Forging A Knife 3 - A Full Tang Nessmuk

[@GreenBeetle]

I'm trying a new cheap1500 gram hammer from Amazon on the plunges but forgot to dress the face so as you can see it left some creases while I was drawing out the heel. I like the hammer though. It is something to try on future projects. DON'T WORRY, I have a narrated video coming out this week. Thanks!

[@timberanvil3788]

The Swedish pattern hammer? Looks a lot like my Picard. I consider it my "Power Hammer" as the rest of my hammers are 2-1/2 lbs or less. I've had the Picard Swedish pattern 1500g hammer since probably 2016 I think. Been a fantastic hammer. Comically...I just dressed the faces for the first time earlier this week 😂 took me long enough.

Seems like it tried to rotate on you quite a bit. Lacquered handle?

[@cactusman8980]

Watched many vids and I still have no damn clue what the heel part is

[@contra009]

@@cactusman8980 the edge of a blade starts at the heel and ends at the point. It's the part closest to your fingers, just above the handle

Have you ever considered manually entering captions in these style videos? I really like the information and experiences shared on the narrated videos, that can be a good way to do it while keeping the "Just Forging A Knife" qualities. Plus, they're a really good medium for adding jokes and such that don't necessarily work when spoken 😂

[@christopherneelyakagoattmo6078]

If you put on close captions (auto generated) It's awesome. The algorithm interprets various rhythmic hammer blows as [ music] And [ foreign] thank you My favorite is Applause! During the slow mo. Lol 😆

I like it better when your talking!!🙏🏻❤️💪🏼❤️❤️

[@pepejuan2924]

Good work 👍😁💪🏻

[@krissteel4074]

Looking good, they're a very classic knife. Sort of the OG of bushmen and explorer knives. Now you're ready to go down the Colorado river with Mr Powell and fight some beavers

[@beezo2560]

The knife is coming along great. Your style of first pulling the heel of the blade down on the edge of the anvil is unique. I've tried it and I like it but it took me several attempts. It seems to be a time saver once you get it to the sander.

[@johnthemainguy9059]

I used to do that early too. Establish the heel and get a reverse banana curve right away. The latter does not apply to a Nessmuk though. 😁

[@Charlielizard]

Enjoyed sitting back and relaxing. Definitely a change of pace. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@brysonalden5414]

Thanks for the video; at the end I was thinking how glad I am that I have a surface grinder! Looks like some work with yours is next.

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty beautiful work, Steve! The knife is looking great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@AndyColglazier]

The hammer work is nice. It's been a while since I knocked something out just with the anvil and the hammer. Maybe I need to do that again to make sure I remember how... Thank you.

Hey pretty cool Beetle man. Would be a nice boning knife

[@noneyabidness9644]

It's a good looking blade.

​@@GreenBeetle Ya! I would use it to cut my steak. And trust me I'm picky about my steak.

[@cryptomnesiac]

I turned on the captions and the youtube ai thinks you are making beautiful foreign music

[@GreenBeetle]

😂

[@johnthemainguy9059]

KZbin Closed Captioning for the sound of your forging is [Music]. Indeed it is.

[@griseobarba7989]

Just sitting on my ass watching you just make a knife. ✌️👍

[@professionalidiots101]

🤣😂 your tool chest is screaming out "Store your hammers somewhere else" 😂🤣😂

[@loganlang4120]

Good looking blade. Miss the commentary Steve.

[@snakeclips]

what do you do with all the scale that comes off yer knives while forging? its gotta pile up, unless you dont make alot of off camera knives.

[@GreenBeetle]

It gets swept up and thrown out. I’d like to remelt it w some carbon to make steel but the foundry I made is thou to snuff.

[@johnthemainguy9059]

It's great in the garden. Iron really greens plants up.

[@robertshelton3796]

Great work as always. Will you consider doing two uploads: one with the narration and one without? I like the explanation of your though process during the build.

[@GreenBeetle]

🧐

[@robertshelton3796]

@@GreenBeetle IKR? I wish YT supported multiple audio channels because some of us love it and I'm sure others complain. I still thank you for sharing as always Steve

[@GreenBeetle]

It’s not a bad idea maybe I’ll put them on a separate channel

[@gundanium3126]

What's the weight of your Japanese-style hammer?

[@GreenBeetle]

I don’t remember exactly, I’m guessing 2.5

[@Pablo668]

Looking really good. Where is the goofy narration?

[@fivequid]

Please go back to narrating your videos. I like the way you explain all the aspects of knifemaking to us laymen.
