Good job on the draw knife, it looks really great. Enjoyed the video, liked the commentary about the project, it’s a real help when you explain your thoughts about how it turned out etc. Looking forward to more of your fantastic videos, Regards from Down Under.
Enjoying the catch up on your video's Ive always enjoyed using a draw knife. I first picked one up when I was 16 and that was to hang an axe. Ive always had one since then. I want to make some different styles and see how I go with them thanks for sharing
Cheers Nils! Thank for the shout! Excellent work as usual, but If I may, I have two suggestions for you. Forge a bevel on the ends of the steel before forge welding to make the transition between the iron and steel smoother, and I'd recommend kicking the handles out of line with the edge, usually making the handles come up a bit when the edge is flat. If that makes sense. It'll make the draw knife more manoeuvrable and easier to use for shaping.

I did notice the beveling thing. Hard to fix once its welded, better to do it earlier, as you said.
Man, thank you, Sam,and Alex for giving me the spirit to push onward. Im stuck in a job that leaves me with no energy, but im pushing to get back into smithing again
riktigt bra jobb Nils! Det är en fantastisk dragkniv och handtagen är fantastiska för det. Jag älskar det här och kan behöva. Tack Nils för din video...
So I seem to be missing something, why did he forge weld mild steel to it ? I don't see the benefit here, draw knives don't usually need to be very shock resistant. Is it because there was not enough high carbon material to forge out into tangs, for handles ?

Old technique. Steel was expensive and iron was cheaper int the old days, so you wanted to save the steel only for the edge and not wating it on handöes etc. Same thing with most cutting tools from history.
@ ah I see, you're doing it how they were forged in the old days, not neccesarily because the process was needed or more efficient, but because thats how it was done traditionally. So my initial assumption was along the correct lines of thinking then, thanks for the clarfication. I sometimes forget that things aren't neccesarily done because it's the best and/or easiest way to objectively do so.
what is it with every smith and their mother forging a draw knife lately?! i also made one a week ago. did we all get a telepathic message to make one? 🤣

Nils, very nice work. Glad to see you feeling better and back at the anvil. I hope to have one of your iron/steel axes one day.
Thank you!

Awesome craftmanship! Keep up the good work!
Phosphor bronze plain bearings also make great ferrules. Not too expensive if you buy several at the same time. Nice Work Fella !
Nice video bro, thank's Odín Nils is back to forge again 😄✨, I have learned a lot with your videos, Keep going!
Neat build, I like the high carbon/ mild construction technique.
Very good tutorial. I like it.
Love your videos. We miss you on the ForgeCast. Great to see you doing beautiful work
Thank you!

Tackar!
Really nice job mate, a mate and I have been taking about forging one of these for a while!

Very nice. Any plans to put some on the web store?
No, im not good enough to produce these for that purpose
@ Nonsense. I’d buy one. Any idea on a date for web store restock?
Hallo! Спасибо, благодаря вам я узнал технологию ковки сварных топоров
I had to translate what you said. Thank you, I'm glad i could help!
@ Thank you! Would you like to make an exact copy of the Finnish axe type Bilnes ?
That would be a fun challenge!
