Making this knife from a 1947 car.

[@B.McAllister]

Did not expect a Will It Forge? Series... We need MORE OF THIS.

[@brysonalden5414]

I think the knife really honors the spirit of the donor car. Clearly lots of thought went into this, and it shows. Thanks for posting this.

Tim! You've outdone yourself! You have hidden talents and cute curly hair. I bet your kids have curls too. So cute!

[@djb341]

Work of art , Tim

[@minnesotatomcat]

Geez you really went down the rabbit hole on this one, I wasn’t expecting smelting. Very cool project 👍

[@nickfranklin1867]

That's a pretty cool knife Tim!

[@loukovanda5539]

There is someone looking for replacement light and hood ornaments who is having a fit watching you remove them with a hammer and melt them down haha. Fun video tho Tim, love your stuff.

[@IanZainea1990]

Awesome! Love the super high mirror polish and that guard shape is awesome!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Well it was still a little sad seeing the old car cut up but I must admit the knife did turn out pretty cool.

[@danarenodano7373]

Awesome knife man. Its so Shiney.

[@muldoon67]

That was one of the most interesting builds I have seen in a long time ... on any knife YT channel. Great job Tim!

[@DENISLAUZWILDLIFE]

Good job Tim has usual

[@duncanhalliday3655]

Looks awesome!! Reminds me of a tv show, think it was called Scrapheap Challenge.

[@kzarnold3678]

I could imagine how if some hotrod guy saw you cutting on that visor they would just start crying inside. Awesome build 👏

[@ilmbutton]

I really like the aesthetic of the knife and I do think it really embodies the car design

[@szbyzan]

That is gorgeous.

[@Raataataatat]

Awesome video very cool!

[@tomcarlson3244]

Very nice job.

[@minnesotatomcat]

It’s just so shiny!

[@B.McAllister]

Tim bud, you need to turn this into a Will It Forge? Series. Turn scrap into some nifty art, weapons, tools etcetera. Utilizing everything you can from scraps like this car. Engine blocks, thrift store finds, old computers(extract gold and make jewelry for the wife haha) I know I'd tune in for that and I am sure everyone else would too.

[@Toyhunter19000]

Nice work Tim , but don’t forget the fully forged knife

[@JeraldDelventhal]

Job well done!

[@johnnyho900]

Great build, amazing thought and planning went into every piece of this! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@White_devil1980]

That’s certainly epic to reclaim parts from a 1947 monarch car and to use it to make a homage knife 🥰🥳 I wasn’t even born then 😨 I’m a 80’s kid great job Tim 👍

[@geraldstamour1312]

Dope AF knife, Timothy Dyck! You should use the upholstery to make an equally dope sheath (if you haven't already done so!)

[@jamesBGgarner]

Very cool. I think you found your calling as a designer!!!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Timothy always thinking out side of the box. Wow that's awesome. Love it. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.

[@j.r.millstone]

This is an excellent idea for a series. You could do an artful knife based off any number of oldschool objects and then get yourself a proper smelter and melt the remainder of the object into steel to make an axe run out of.

[@rocky3075]

Fantastic looking blade. Job well done.👊🦊👍 I am surprised you did not do a Rockwell hardness test on the blade.

[@bigbird2451]

There now exists a small subset of the human population that both hate you for cutting up that old car AND desperately want that knife.

[@sidneyriggs9764]

Very fricken cool.

[@gregstang5950]

Was that visor made out of asbestos?

[@andrewward8954]

Wow 👌

[@IntoTheTroid]

Cool!

[@davidwhiren817]

Theme build !!!

[@Theorof]

I guess "pot metal" is zinc or tin?

[@dhgodzilla1]

Duck tape the Glass before you Break it out, WAY less Messy

[@KROUTCHY]

WOW!

[@Blue.4D2]

⭐🙂👍

[@lorenzogazzola328]

Make an auction for it?

[@earthknight60]

The shape of that grip looks really impractical. Looks like it'll slide right out of your hand any time you try to actually use the knife. Needs something near the base to help with grip retention.

[@hulkthedane7542]

Interesting video, but I do not like the knife. It is hideous and clumpsy, does not look usable either. Keep doing extraordinary builds 👍

[@josephdorey8458]

What is 'pot metal'? I'm from the UK and it's not a term we have here. Tin? Pewter? Something else?

[@Hydrazine1000]

Pot metal is an undefined alloy with a low melting point, used for casting parts that don't need much strength. Think of die-cast toy cars for instance. Composition varies, but expect copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, magnesium, aluminium and cadmium as possible elements. Minus lead and cadmium for more modern variants.

[@calholli]

Typically tin or zinc

[@Bobs-Wrigles5555]

Here in Australia, where heaps of British cars ended up, we used to call this stuff Brittannia metal or S#!7 metal, because although it was a good surface to chrome over, if it was left bare as in carburettor bodies when exposed to water etc it would simply break down into a powdery crumbly mess that could not be repaired.

[@carpeinferi]

Need to get either a vacuum or pressure pot setup to reduce bubbles if you're going to keep using resin. The bubbles in the scales detract from the quality of workmanship.

[@Spronkadunk]

Monarch? That doesn’t even resemble a butterfly knife. 😂

[@rodheath2619]

You should have restored the car

[@calholli]

Or at least sold those parts. He destroyed a lot of good parts that people could have used. But the knife is pretty cool though.
