Home made kitchen knife hand forged

Here is what you should be able to do with a hand forged knife.
I will be posting more videos soon of knives and swords. All my knives are of recycled materials.

Good grief! That is amazing. I have so many questions I'm not even going to start or bother you.

Last night I had the fun of watching two knives be made out of an old file. The process was long, but Matt answered questions while working so I learned quite a bit. I didn't have a tomato to try them on today, but they both sliced meat and veggies easily. If you live near the middle of the Michigan mitten, stop by and see him demo his hobby. It will become evident he loves what he does.

What kind of steel did you use? Have you ever made a knife from a old hand saw? I have obtained 1 small and 1 very large old hand saws and am cutting the blades out with a dremel. I've always had access to power tools but always seem to do it mostly by hand (except pin holes). Whats your opinion on using tools verses by hand?

Thankfully there are still people like me out here making them in a forge
