  • Forging a knife from a bunch of pieces of used band saw pieces. These are the blades I use in my wood bandsaw for cutting handle material.
    The edge of the knife is 52100 high carbon steel, with nickel in-between the cladding and edge steel.

    I very much like watching you work your steel and knives. I once was a fairly serious knife maker, working with Devin Thomas quite a bit over the years. I finally burned clear out and closed my shop for almost a decade. Now I'm fully retired from my "career job" and am getting ready to jump back into knives. Watching channels like yours is really a big help, thanks so much for putting out great content!

      @@thomaslindroos1667 huge lawn, old farm site, probably 4+ acres of grass. Takes 3 hours to mow with a 54” deck at about 7-8 mph. They go dull fast so I sharpen about every other mowing to keep it cutting nice so I can go as fast as I do. They only last so long.

  • @brysonalden5414
    @brysonalden5414 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice! I agree with your decision to use known steel for the core. I do suspect that eventually your grinder leavings are going to find their way into a canister with some 1084 powder . . . .

    That cladding turned out very cool. Reminds me of wrought iron in some ways. I also like how the nickel and cladding were spotted through the edge steel but not quite on the edge. I'm working on a hjartum style axe with 1045 body with 5160 edge.

    When you welded the bandsaw blades you blocked the ark of the welding with your hand a lot of people don't do that they don't realize that that light from the welding can still affect a person's eyes watching video God bless and have a blessed day

  • @krissteel4074
    @krissteel4074 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    That's a very good looking bunka for sure, depending on the supplier you can sometimes end up with some 15N20 in band saw blades or more rarely L6.

    Im so happy you made this video. I have a bunch of sawmill bandsaw blades from work. Ive been tempted to use them. However i use them until they break. So im sure the steel has all kinds of cracks in it.

  • @christianborghi7544
    @christianborghi7544 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I tend to go high heat for welding it just adds a safety factor and you can see in the vid that your getting much higher temps with new forge , new blade too , my wife wants a matching set of kitchen knives and I think one like that one will make it into the set

  • @brandonwilson896

  • @JSaltyfabricator
    @JSaltyfabricator ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like others have said, bandsaw blades are usually 15N20 and heat treat well. You can always test harden a chunk. Generally, if a piece is as thin as a bandsaw blade and has a good spring to it, it should heat treat fine. Nice work man!
