Thank you. I appreciate that the hammering was in real time. It was great to see the whole process.

[@jamespenson8912]

Your narration is EXTREMELY helpful and educational - thank you for doing it!

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!

[@Little_River_Forge]

I wish I could like this video more than once. 🙏

[@ignismetalworks6669]

I caught the tail end of the last one. Gonna go get showered up, then jump in on this one.

[@Bar_D_Forge]

Nice... I do the water on the anvil too... Really comes out clean and smooth and seems quicker than brushing ... Plus, I love the pop it adds to the strike...

[@MrBrokenwrenches]

I forged my second knife last weekend. Your videos were absolutely instrumental in my improvement. Thank you. Also I realized just how much power and accuracy you put into the hammer blows. Holy shit man lol

[@nmcoutellerie]

Thanks for sharing in detail all your skills. Very educational video about how material moves during forging. Great skills man. Nicolas

Sullie here, Shamrock ☘️ forge. Nice job Sam. Imma have to have a go at this but of course in a way I've never seen it done. Shower door is all marked up with dry erase chalk making a plan! (Love my CHF straight peen as well!) And if only I could duet this and just throw in "that's what she said" every place it fits🤣🤣🤣

[@richweir5186]

Great job! I have not tried W1 yet. Thinking about giving it a shot. I use mostly 52100 or 5160. 52100 round bar is such a bear to move...... You gave me some great pointers, and I will apply them to my hammering.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Happy to help! Yeah the high chromium steels can be a bit of a bear, unless you're looking for a hamon I would suggest something like 1084 or 1070, as w1 and w2 are a bit finicky themselves

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice job. Sam towns. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

[@TheoryMaK15-255]

Nice Job Dude! Didn't realize you were Chris Mensworth From Australia Mate. HAHAHAHAAH!!

[@B-leafer]

Outstanding forge of a bowie, and best blade shape I've seen. Would love to own it!

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Thankyou! 😁

[@JeffsTrades]

Your channel is way underrated man. Great work.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Thankyou!

[@nikknives9352]

Good job explaining everything! thank you sir! Truly appreciate it

[@kevincain2697]

The process was very cool ,just wish u would've put a fancy handle on it.

[@StrayWolfForge]

I really like how close to finish you forged this blade. I learned alot from this video. Thanks for sharing your skills. I subscribed before the video was half through.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Much appreciated mate, glad you enjoy th3 content!

[@paulorchard7960]

Going to need to watch this at least twice a week for the next month! Already made a booboo, think I can fix it!

[@josefagundesdias1473]

Amigo, simplesmente um espetáculo, profissional exemplar, uma faca perfeita, depois de muito esforço e maestria. Parabéns grande profissional. Minha admiração.

[@philochristos]

This was a really good video. Usually, I watch at least three of somebody's video before subscribing, but in this case, it only took one.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Thankyou! Glad to hear you enjoy the content 😁

[@GodseyKnives]

nice work hope you do a handle fit video. I have been trying to avoid grinding lately myself enjoyed watching it take shape .

[@garyhiggins6718]

What I would like to see is you putting on the brass backstrap (doing it the proper way, not just with glue)?

[@klumzy9583]

Awesome, as always!

[@mikemeinders6717]

I love your work Sam blade looks great. I just ordered some H-13 to make some drifts . Yikes this stuff is very hard to move with a hammer but I do have a 22 Ton press to help with the heavy stuff.. I love watching your work . Keep hammering man ! PS: I love your hammer I think I will have to try and make me one too.

[@luismigueldominguez5487]

Excellent, congrats

[@pprrado]

Love the profie,great videos

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

For the algorithm demands it!

[@snty6815]

ASOMBROSO,,,,,!!!!!!

[@Bar_D_Forge]

Gonna start my Bowie today for competition... Starting with 1/4"x 2 1/2" 1095 bar... Gonna try to get video of some forging today...

[@gajin-k]

火造りの打ち出しがしっかりしててええね！ 外国の鍛造ブレードの製造工程が見れて良かった 水打ちとかはしないのかが疑問？

[@markuscutelaria9307]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯✅

[@mrkiky]

Fantastic instructional video. Felt like I watched a 12 minute video not 36. Do you have a rough idea of how much it took from start to finish in real work time?

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Thanks! This forging took approximately 2hrs

[@SaintGalganoArmory]

Sam, An another amazing video man. Your amazing, and I hope to be as good as you and Nils one day. Quick question, I have heard that you can use the horn and side of the anvil to fuller out a blade. I have never done this myself. Is this something that you can do? If so, what are your opinions on it when compared to using the cross-peen to fuller, which is more effective?

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Thanks mate, drawing out over the edge or the horn is certainly another way to draw out, I tend to just use my pein as I find it more controllable, if a little slower.

[@SaintGalganoArmory]

Sam, What type of anvil is that? At first I though it was odd, but the more I see it I love it and want one.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

I have a review video on it on my channel, it's a Beamish 80kg German pattern

[@SpeargrassForge]

4lb? Youre using a lighter hammer sam!

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Haha not lighter than my baby 2.5 cutler

[@SpeargrassForge]

@@SamTownsBladesmith heavier than your 5lb general hammer though lol
