So, as a new knife maker... Forge, do bevels to midline, thermal cycle, quench, sharpen/refine bevels, handle. Did i miss anything?

@Mysticmountainforge Ай бұрын

Make sure to temper after quench, other than that you got it. I appreciate you watching.

How would you compare that steel you just used to a Chevy leaf spring? I'm likening the knife, bro.

@Mysticmountainforge 3 ай бұрын

It should be pretty close to the same type of steel. I appreciate you watching.

The website was supposed to be taken down because I don't use it anymore, but I do hope to have some knives available for purchase this fall, I will make an announcement here on the channel when I do. I appreciate you watching.

Really nice work! Are full tang knives harder than hidden tangs? I have only made hidden and I am thinking about trying something new.

Thanks! I appreciate you watching! Just always make sure to leave plenty of material to forge it, they are fairly easy when you do it like that, it's when you cut it too short that it can get to be a pain. If your forging hidden tangs regulary right now you should be fine. ABS Mastersmith Burt Foster offers some video classes on his website that cover forging the tang of a knife, the class is fairly cheap and completely changed my approach to knife forging. Here is the link to the class: burtfoster.com/products/basic-blade-forging-video?_pos=2&_sid=5291a47eb&_ss=r

5160 spec sheets say use Parks AAA for quench and to temper for 2 hours, twice. Four hours total. Forge On!!!

@Mysticmountainforge 3 ай бұрын

Yep, thats what the spec sheet says. I haven't had any problems with hunting knives or kitchen cutlery the way I do it, but if I were doing a chopper or bushcraft knife, something that was going to be used and abused I would absoloutley do the 4 hours over the 2 that I do for toughness. Here is where I got the info on the cycle I currently use. www.tophamknifeco.com/how-to-heat-treat-5160-spring-steel/ I appreciate the infoand I appreciate you watching.

@jmbstudio6873 3 ай бұрын

I get my tech info straight from the steel supplier. Speedy Metals and New Jersey Steel Baron. You wont have any problems, until you dont want one. Forge On!!!

@Mysticmountainforge 3 ай бұрын

That is 100% true, I will make sure to use and mention the proper tempering cycles in future videos. I appreciate you taking time to comment and then reply to my comment. It's people like you that take time helping others that makes me so appreciateive of the knife making community. Thanks again!

Thanks! I need to get a hot stamp for when I leave the forge finish on the knives, my etching machine don't do well unless it has a better finish. I appreciate you watching.
