I have old tools from both of my great grandpa's. This gives me a way to give them a new life. I can create an heirloom to pass on. Great video!

[@StrayWolfForge]

I like the knife and the fact you gave new life to a tool your father used. I enjoy watching your videos as well to see the creative ways you repurpose thing to tools you use.

Nice work, those blue scotch-brite pads leave a nice finish

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I really like the finish they leave as well. I appreciate you watching!

Dope AF results, @Mysticmountainforge! Now it needs an equally dope sheath/scabbard to complete the package!

The leather platen idea is genius

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks, It has made a huge difference when it comes to finishing my knives, it really helps even things out and soften the grind marks. I appreciate you watching!

[@andrewneilson227]

@@Mysticmountainforge did you buy this leather platen or make it yourself?

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Great knife man! Now I want to go hunting for an old wrench to turn into a knife :)

[@Mysticmountainforge]

[@ajhproductions2347]

Amazing work! Judging by your process, I’d say you were a fan of Wayne Godard’s “The Wonder of Knife Making” or “the $50 knife shop”. Those books did wonders for me starting out. I could be way off though lol. Cheers

[@garo9679]

Cool build. Even though your blade design is very clean, it has a nice handmade appearance because of the handle. I like it !!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I always like to keep the handles as close to untouched as I can on this style of knife to retain the wrench look as much as possible. I appreciate you watching!

[@anthonystrunk5360]

Sexy blade! The blade finish is really nice as well.. great job!

@@Mysticmountainforge I watch all your videos.. you have very good hammer skills...

[@Garage4Life]

Great work. I need to make one for myself. But cant find old wrench 😅

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching! The old ones make better knives thats the truth, whatever this one was made of hardened better than any I have ever made from a crescent wrench.

[@jackarrows1436]

Yep! I love working on these style blades, I don't get too very often but its always fun when I do. I appreciate you watching!

What kind of power hammer do you have?

[@AdamToney]

I’m tryna find a place that makes touch marks…Any suggestions?

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Not right off hand, the best bet is to check the bladesmith forums on Facebook, I use an electronic etched for my makers marks. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

@@Mysticmountainforge you’re welcome, new to your channel and I’m Diggin it, I’m new to blacksmithing also, I have a couple shorts up but have done an actual video yet! But they’re comin!! lol..

[@udinorton8078]

Is this steel good for knives??

[@Mysticmountainforge]

It really depends on where it is made in my opinion, I have made several of these and it seems like the older US made ones harden really nice. When I did the file test after heat treat the file wouldn't touch it, I have made some in the past with cheap wrenches that didn't even need tempering because they were so soft. Even then I still treat them as more of a novelty knife than one you would want to carry and use. Plumbers and Mechanics love them to put on display in their man cave or shop.
