SERBIAN CLEAVER - Forged From Truck Leaf Spring

[@huntrezz01]

there's a magical thing about forging , it kills the feeling of boredom everytime hitting that hot red steel & makes everyone doesn't realize of the muscle pain & exhaustion until forger stop to take a breath or rest 😍😍😍😍

[@PWL1371]

Absoulutey beautiful art work. I was impressed as well with using shoe rubber for cleaning the belt. Very ingenious.

[@redlionforge9173]

I’m a bladesmith and seeing some of the tools you made really impressed me.

[@Mikey4808]

Nice homemade belt grinder! I'm impressed with your creativity

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Thanks! I made a new belt grinder, if you are interested there is the build video in my channel!

[@stalkson]

Excellent job, you did very hard work, even though you are alone and no one assisted during preparation, I appreciate your passion for work and you have tried to do the best of work.

[@mennoelsmann]

Awesome how the Sledgehammer makes the camera shakes. It makes the whole hammering look way more dramatic then it probably is. Awesome work!

[@georgegordonbrown9522]

Salute to Almazan Kitchen for this design. Beautiful build.

I'am from Serbia and first time I see "Serbian cleaver"? Did some one from Serbia see this kind of stuff? Exelent work and god "cleaver". All the best for you from Serbia.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Thanks! I actually don't know the origin of this cleaver, the customer ordered it and looking online i saw a lot of these serbian cleaver, is actually a really good design and i love it

[@scrapingE-wastebyMarsi]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking Great work any way. Greetings from Serbia and Krusevac city

[@sdobrikovic]

You haven't seen this cleaver since you live down South but North part of Serbia is well known for farming and meat production. We call this Satara:) Cheers

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Thanks for the real name!

Please make some video about how did you craft your powered-instruments that you use in your video, I need it so bad

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

I would like it but is hard cause i made my tools with materials i have available, so i can't really make a tutorial for them, also i don't know if they work once done, so i have to make a lot of tweaks and the video would be too long

[@OKBushcraft]

I was impressed by the numerous tools you made. I learned a lot from this video.

[@OKBushcraft]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking Would you just make a video slowly showing your hand made tools? I think I can get the idea for most of it.

[@BeowWulf]

In the beginning, when he's hammering withe the large sledge, if you mute the audio and just watch. You can still hear it. And it almost seems louder.

[@SergioGonzalez-he8tp]

Does this rust at all? Or is the leftover spring used suitable to make something for the kitchen? Ive never understood how rust comes into play with steel that is going to always be in contact with water

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

If the steel is carbon steel it actually can rust, but by taking care of it it will develop a patina that would protect it even more from rust

[@careditor]

Um, should metal from a truck leaf spring be making it to the kitchens in the world? I just started cooking in my home and it kind of seems weird to me I don't know...I just think of all the dirt from the road. Probably how mine was made, it has the same look. Looks good though.

[@francesco1719]

Perdona la mia ignoranza in materia quante volte è stato temprato ad olio e quante in nn so sabbia??

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Non è sabbia ma cenere, serve a far raffreddare lentamente l'acciaio per normalizzarlo e ammorbidirlo dopo la forgiatura, così da rilasciare lo stress della forgiatura ed evitare che si pieghi o spezzi con l'indurimento

[@francesco1719]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking acciao di balestra?? E cmq nn sapevo si potesse temprare più volte un acciaio carbonioso guardavo il tuo video con stupore...l'ho hai temprato una volta e lasciato freddare due in olio e in cenere

[@francesco1719]

Olio cenere olio...😁che grado di durezza riesci a raggiungere

[@theofilo5]

On such wide blades I find I better to quench the whole blade in the oil because when you make edge quench wharp.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

I think that for this knife i had a bad warp mostly because i didn't normalize the blade well enough, I've seen a lot pf expert knifemakers to heat up only the edge to avoid cracks and warps. This blade was heavily forged so it was full of stress, i should have done more normalization

[@jonarddranojcastillo6372]

That huge hammer of yours is pretty exhausted to use hahaha

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Absolutely! That's why I'm going to buil a forge press soon👍

[@samir260486]

Nice

[@nathaneverett533]

05:45 What is the purpose of "quenching" in the bucket of ash? (I know it's not a real quench). Is there a benefit to this, opposed to air cool? Does the carbon in the ash do something magical? I am just barely considering how to begin to learn this trade.

[@jimcrackery8321]

If you heat the steel up and cool it down really slow it will anneal it (make it softer). It makes filing and grinding much easier. I'm not sure what he was using but vermiculite works really good for this and its super cheap.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

I use ash, it works well by keeping the steel hot for a very long time, i learned it from neels van der berg

[@Cliff4242]

Congs.! You are a power hammer sir you do not need an extra.

[@giuseppeugino6773]

[@connectingpeople9344]

[@Harver404]

Rubber shoe on the sander? Does that clean/dress the belt 🤷‍♂️

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Yeah it helps cleaning the belt

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking Just finished watching, great work, thanks for the reply, good to know!

[@suryahadisurya3355]

The best

[@ryancallaghan852]

Just a suggestion but you may want to shorten the length of the handle on your sledge hammer, if its going to be a striking hammer you want it so you can move around the anvil easily and not hit yourself in the stomach with the end of the handle all the time, if you measure from your armpit to your finger tips that is about the length of handle you want below the head. It'll make it a whole lot more comfortable to swing. Nice cleaver though!

Nice Cleaver. My opinion i would have preferred a more oval shaped handle.

[@anthonystrunk5360]

I'm not a fan of as forged look but you did a very good job with this project .. 👍

[@80spodcastchannel]

that is a classic japanese style of forging...you only pretty up the actual area that needs to be sharpened. the rest stays forge worked and shows the character of the artisan.

[@rogueinvestor2375]

The epoxy can't hold the blade in place forever. There's no telling when the epoxy will give out. I think it's better to have a pin hold the blade onto the handle so it won't fall off the handle unexpectedly.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

not really, epoxy holds very well, the trick is to make the steel rough enough that gives the epoxy where to grip
