Forging a Damascus Tanto-Style Knife from Old Compasses

Показать описание

In this video, I take old compasses and transform them into a long, razor-sharp Damascus steel knife inspired by the tanto blade. Watch the entire blacksmithing process, from forging and grinding to crafting a custom handle and testing the final edge. Every step showcases the skill and dedication needed to turn scrap metal into a functional masterpiece.

I very much appreciate the fact that you don't fast forward through the hammering process as I enjoy that part more! The Tanto is my favorite design.

If you either turn up the mig wire feed, or turn down the voltage (only small amounts at a time, then check) that pulsing arc should stop and welds will be consistent. I do like your channel a lot. You are talented and creative.👍
