Beginner knife making: Forging a hunting/skinning knife from 5160

Hello everyone and welcome to the forge, in this week's video I forge a hunting knife from 5160 spring steel and finish it off with some laminate handle material and a razor-sharp edge. I appreciate you watching! #knifemaking #forged #blacksmithing #maker #howto #tutorial #education

Good to see so much finessing during the forging rather than mainly relying on stock removal. 👏

I keep coming back to this video, this knife is stunning. It’s simple and clean, functional and neat. Beautifully executed as always

Awesome work you make it look easy... I'm struggling with grinding in the bevels correctly any tips or tricks

Man, this is elegant in its simplicity. I have tried the exact same thing…same material, too, but that dang steel hardened up on me like diamond, and I can’t get it annealed to save my life. I did exactly the same annealing process too. So I guess it’s gonna have a paracord wrap for handle scales.

Absolutely awesome knife I really like the scales they came out beautifully

That handle material is beautiful! I’m looking at the knife kit website, but could you point to the scales you used? Thanks and just a beautiful blade.

What do you charge for a knife that size? Or actually a little shorter even an edc ffg. Thanks

[frankwolf]

Beautiful knife! Would love a template for that one. You put it in a box of what looked like sand and laid bricks on top, after heating it. What was that and purpose of it? Great videos. Thank you.

Very beautiful knife, exelent work! I’m quite new to metalwork in generall, and I saw that you quenched another way than most others I have seen. Does this have any effect on the bladde? Thanks for sharing!
