Making a Fat Knife from an Old Car Leaf Spring

[@Emilthehun]

Awesome video. No bullshit. No boring music , or life story and clickbait. It's straight to the point. Thank you!

Don't usually comment on these but I've been watching a lot of knife build/restoration vids lately... and I gotta say your end product is one of the best that I've seen so far. Very classy design. You're one helluva craftsman.

[@lorettalouvros207]

That was a unique handle! It goes without saying that you have amazing craftsmanship but seriously this was one unique design!

I can't understand how a thousand people can dislike an art like that.

[@Doublezzranch]

Videos are done with no dull or boring points. How long did it take for this knife build? Looks amazing.

[@maciejnowakprojects]

Thanks! About 4 days for making a knife + 2 days for video editing. Usually I have about 2-3 hours of recordings from the workshop. I know from my own experience that when some video is about 20 minutes I do not usually watch it completely. That's why I'm trying to make short and not boring videos ;)

They are definitely not boring, but tell me, how many times have you been to hospital to remove pieces of metal from your eye? Be honest...

[@blackkaiser3705]

You have got talent brother. Hats off to your dedication and innovation. I wish i could ever come across a craftsman like you.

That knife is Awesome Great eye for detail you sir are a true craftsman I bet drilling all the holes and shaping the handle took a lot of time The knife turned out great. I had to add this to my favorite list so I can show of your work to others. Thanks

[@dzoni8191]

Such a thick knife and so sharp, it's just beautiful

[@strawberrymilk1683]

Great video but that looks so uncomfortable to hold. No grip and sharp angles. I mean I have seen people hold their knives doing rough sh1t for awhile at a time. This looks blister inducing

[@ArdimanKhiar]

At least he made it for himself and not selling it to anyone exept He giveaway it to somone

[@CupOjoePK]

Really love how this video captures all the steps of making the knife in only 5 mins instead of 20 or 30!! I do enjoy longer videos for more detailed info, but its really nice to see such a quick video that still covers the entire process! Nice job man!

[@JW-pq6po]

What’s the price on one? & how I go about making purchase?

[@eccentricdetectorists9754]

The knife looks amazing without the cord on the handle.

[@howardsmith9342]

I would think the cord would give a better grip, though.

[@Ensoniqdude]

Cord is also very handy if your hunting or in a survival situation. You can always redo the cord. That’s a long piece of cord in a compact area.

[@austindorf83]

There’s no apostrophe in “detectorists”

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

Maybe it belongs to a single eccentric detectorist, and is proclaiming the ownership? Come to think of it, what's a detectorist anyway?

This knife is gorgeous, while you were at it, you should have made two ,I want one. BTW, if it was me I would even use copper string to give it a gold tone and wouldn't melt in case it comes in contact with fire ,this is a no BS man's knife ,it looks very solid and something that Navy Seals would use, great job.

[@mastercarpenter9798]

Great craftsmanship, wonderful knife.

[@lindamoggioable]

So why do all these knifesmiths on "Forged in Fire" do all of that forging and hammering and forging and hammering ad finitum to make a knife out of a car leaf spring when the shape can just be cut out of the leaf spring???? BTW, loved your video.

[@SmokeManHavel]

This is machining a knife not forging. Machining is a a really quick way to make a blade well enough to be proud of and a great introduction to forging.

[@robsonez]

Many makers only use the stock removal technique. I dont believe it should be assumed as lesser work in any way. Stock removal means you will spend far more time at the grinder using alot more abrasives and is less steel economical. Forging is to take a piece of steel and shape it, not only profiling but adding bevels and reducing thickness prior to grinding. Five minutes of forging can actually save half an hour at the grinder with far less wastage. With quality blade steel in abundance and not every maker carrying the physical attributes to swing a hammer for long sessions, stock removal has become popular. Not my preferred method but no less skillful or time economical.

[@johnc6738]

Forging also compacts the metal, making it much more dense. Once forged and heat treated it can make a much tougher blade.

[@larrybethune3909]

Ground In Fire or perhaps Drilled in Fire is the next incarnation of the show. But for now forging is a very specific term for a very specific process. Oops I forgot, Cast in Fire.

[@robsonez]

John C Im not sure compacting is the right word but forging does reaarange the grain structure of the steel which in turn, if done correctly can make the blade tougher. This is more to do with heat treatment than the forging process though and we are talking minute amounts on the scale

[@SuperKwame1]

Excellent work, my question is what is inside the solution you dipped the 🥵 knife in!

[@thomasfoolery8408]

HANDLE? You ran a great marathon and then you shaaat diarrhea down your legs and all over the last 50 yards of the track!!??!! Why even put such thin gauge cord on the tang/handle-area to begin with??!!?? Like I said - many good things happening at times!

[@Avdikii]

Beautiful knife. Can someone tell me whats the purpose of heating it up in the furnace after the knife was cut out?

[@yoyorami1191]

4:22 was the best part of the whole video

Awesome video M.N. Projects! You do some amazing work on your channel :) I would love to make a knife from scratch but I'm just starting up. I'm in the process of making a handle and sheath for a blade, part 1 is on my channel and part 2 should be coming in the not too distant future :) I'm mainly a wood worker but I also like to try new things like stone carving and knife making. I'll have to make myself a belt grinder so I can finally have some power tools! I'm using mostly hand tools at the moment. Keep up the amazing work my friend and hopefully you will check out my little channel :)

Awesome video. I want to try making a knife with a leaf spring too. How long did you temper the knife and at how many F°? Thank you!

[@timschutte8310]

Erik Moreno , that's exactly what I want to know. how long in oven and at what temperature ?? usually it's around 500 degrees @ about 2 to 4 hours. depending on thickness of steel and what type. I'd say 500 @ 2 1/2 hours should be fine to relax and relieve stresses in steel.

[@motivatedbuilder7227]

Amazing!!! Great work . What is the process and the material you used to craft those letters??

[@Jack_Gatsby]

almost every traditional blacksmiths in my country use old leaf spring for almost everything they create. Under proper HT and quenching, they can be very durable.

[@oneman29]

What temp did you bake the knife in the oven at and for how long? Was that in order to temper the material? Would it not be better to heat just the cutting edge to a blue/purple then dip in water? The blade would be super sharp and hard then whilst the rest of the body would still have the original metallurgy of the spring manufacturers.

[@MrAidanfleming]

That’s awesome!! Might actually try it!! What oil is used to quench the blade? How long and what temperature to heat treat the blade in oven?

[@justinriley8651]

have to know the steel to answer those questions.

[@MrAidanfleming]

Is there any way of telling what type of steel it is?

[@craigbrigden6670]

Very nice! And I like the way you have the sounds of the activity rather than "musical distraction" in the background. When I was watching the video I found myself thinking "I wonder how long an at what temperature he tempered it?" when I saw you toss it into the oven. I love the video and how it staying right on top of the activity makes it so watchable...but if you ever decide to include a little extra info in the descriptive text for the video I won't complain! :-) Thanks for taking the time to share a view of your skills in action!

[@jason_berns]

Here in the Philippines we call such raw material as "Mulye" from the Spanish word "Muelye". Hunting Knives and Jungle Bolos made from such material are quite cheap and durable in our locality. I purchased a thick cleaver (8-inches long, 3-inches wide and quarter-inch thick blade) for only P300. Even the thickest leg-bone, toughest coconuts are no match for it. I also use it in chopping firewood. I just hope the local shops here would have similar or larger ones real soon, I am longing for at least a spare.

[@LeandroGoretta]
