In this video I show my take on how to forge a herb chopper Check out my recommended tools/gear: www.amazon.com... If you like my videos you can support me at: / torbjornahman
It's honestly nice to see somebody actually taking the time to truly forge instead of just taking a piece of bar stock and cutting and grinding it down into the final piece.
These videos are so peaceful and calming. I watch these with my 3 year old, and he's so inquisitive as to what's happening. Thank you for being an amazing creator.
I get worn out just watching u I can’t imagine what it takes to create such beautiful work....Thank u sir for allowing us into ur world. It is fascinating and enjoyable as well as educational ....there’s always the “Math” introduction!
Måste säga (om jag inte sagt det tidigare) att det är förbaskat kul att se en svensk hantverkare av kvalité på TH-cam bland alla andra DIY kanaler som jag prenumererar på. Du är seriös och noggrann, samt väldigt duktig på att fånga på film det du gör på ett bra sätt. Produktionen blir bara bättre och bättre, denna: riktigt proffsig enligt mig! Projekten är alltid intressanta, även om man inte smider själv. Det är något hypnotiserande och lugnande i rödglödande metallarbeten. Ser fram emot nästa upplägg och hoppas det kommer många fler :) Kör hårt Åhman!
Torbjörn Åhman no need for that, you cuts were quality. it just lacked a little, i should think that with this www.dba.dk/koekkenudstyr-slibestaal-til/id-1021675238/ it will get that final kick.
Torbjörn Åhman Yeah, that would be quite tragic. Btw, thanks for taking the time for replying to my comments. Appreciate it. Most people who's videos are this popular dont care to reply to comments.
Torbjörn Åhman But, it is flipping amazing. I mean, I could never do that. And I am so impressed at those who can. Such talent. Much love from Canada 😊
I used your method for the handle to make a herb chopper of my own today (I put a handle at each end) It works so well. Thank you. Its just a hobby for me, I'm not very good but I enjoy doing it. I thought I was going to have to cut a tail at each end to make handles. I'm glad I came across your video. Greetings from Ireland.
Your blacksmithing skills get better every time you upload a new video. I admire your persistence. And, I love your work. Please, feed us with more videos! The style of no commentary, silence and just the sound of hammers and the other tools, really relaxes me in a way like ASMR does, it is elegant and natural. Looking forward to your new videos. With respect, Kemal Can Özdemir
i was thinking something more natural,like a garden a home grow system, are you familiar with something? we make the damn thing with your hands, so we need to grow the herbs the same way, no ?
Oldschoolforge made a video on herb choppers, but he used an old file. I really liked that old rustic design, but I really appreciate how much cleaner this one looks.
What a fantastic knife, your editing skills are amazing i can definitely see how much blacksmithing means to you through your work, keep it up brother.
i dont kbow if this counts as ASMR, but the tapping and quietness combined with the making of these amazing objects makes me really happy. Thanks for posting, keep it up!!
I’m sorry but I think my eyes might be a bit blind but is that a-a-a tampon you were using??😅 But other than that it’s honestly really good knife I even tried to “copy” it but I just did the handle like the blacksmiths knife
This is beautiful work. The height of the blade, the rocking movement it all perfectly done. But for someone like me who has to chop large amounts of herbs, often the handle is not practical at all. Too thin, and there is no easy way to rock it back and forth to use it on the herbs. ❤
Comme on disais à mon apprentissage "tu as payer que la moitié du manche de ton marteau ?" As mentioned in my learning "you have payed only the Half of the handle of your hammer?" if not, good job, i like it
I really liked this simple design and decided to forge one finally this evening. It isn't as pretty, but I think it'll come out nice enough. I have a love for these kinds of blades as they remind me of the centuries before machining, when you could look at something and see how much time, patience, and skill had been put into it.
they are idd relaxing.... glad there is no music, just the sound of a man and his hammer .... "rubbing" steel in form or shape on a other steel block. guess we are staring in to the fire seeing this man at work.
I would love to get to do this one day but I can't afford the anvil forge or steels the rest is just part of a basic tool kit though any recommendations for cheap yet good forges in the uk ps love your videos ;)
Thanks. A forge is quite easy to build. A pipe and a hole in the ground is pretty much a functional forge. Just need a blower. Anvils can be hard to find, but just keep your eyes open and search flee markets, farm auctions etc. Contact local blacksmiths and seek info. Any large chunk of steel would work as an anvil in the mean time.
Im thinking about making my mother one of these as a Christmas gift. for the sharpening and grinding, could a metal file and sandpaper work if you dont have a power sander or an angle grinder?
I think it will work. It depends somewhat on what steel you have, and if you can anneal it properly. I use O1 which to some extent air harden and can be tricky to fully anneal without a heat treating oven. It's tough on your files if not soft enough.
Aaron Stoeckl I'm no knife maker really, but I think W-1,1084 or 1095 (hardened in water) is easier to work. Even salvaged spring steel (oil hardened) would work fine, and it usually is soft enough if you let it cool by itself slowly.
Torbjörn Åhman hey I'm not sure if you know or not but someone has quite a bit of this video in a compilation, it's just sped up and parts cut out. Just letting you know because I know other people who are having problems with people taking their videos without asking or giving any sort of credit.
so. if you like your flat iron for a bevel, you can bore a hole through the other side, and run a bungee cable around your anvil so it doesn't bounce around.
That is an awesome designed herb chopper!! I love making usable kitchen tools for my granddaughter and her husband who are chefs. I am proud to see grace and craft still alive and well!! We have beautiful flowers, orchards, and gardens on our farm along with my blacksmith shop. Peaceful! Thanks!

Thanks!
Agreed. A lot of "forging" videos aren't actually forging at all.
Literally_ Darkness I’m very sure he uses 98% of everything he makes!
That's what you call a real smith
Big difference between Blacksmith and "Grindsmith"
hard work pays off.
AARDVARK PAYS OFF!!
Why even Live

NOAM MANRI why are you pointing that out on the internet? This can easily get people to say "fuck you"
I didn't know Sakura had a TH-cam account. Welcome.
shym 殺 Hahahhhhahahahha, I dont get it why everyone calls Sakura useless, she can like easily beat up Naruto😂😂
viskoldd Lolz That doesn't make her useful.
Torbjorn. Can you build turrets as well?
I'm not sure :) That could be an interesting video......
Torbjörn Åhman (It was a joke. A person from a video game named Torbjorn builds turrets.)
I know :) The first comment like this was a bit confusing at first....
xD I bet. Good work. I dont even forge or do anything so i dont know how this is in my recomended. xD
Google works in mysterious ways...
TIL my first weapon in Bloodborne is actually a Herb Cutter
Hahahahahahahaha yes 1 tooon come on
What’s bloodborn
shoulda grabbed the hunters axe😔😔
@@moet1114 ps game , it s famous
RedCell114 right
all the stoners would love to grind their weed with this
John Chavez Lol nah can't catch kief with that 😂😂
Precocious Aspirant But the keif is already in it
I just started doing blacksmithing as a hobby, and i have to say your video's are a great inspiration for me. Thank you 👍 awesome job.
Awesome, thank you!
I love that part when you PAM PAM PAM... PUM PUM.. PAM PAM PAM... PAM... PAM PAM PAM.. PUM PUM..
Oh, that part! I like that too.
fantastic work as always. always on the look out for your next video.
very comfy video.
That's beautiful and you make it look so easy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Projekten är alltid intressanta, även om man inte smider själv.
Det är något hypnotiserande och lugnande i rödglödande metallarbeten.
Ser fram emot nästa upplägg och hoppas det kommer många fler :)
Kör hårt Åhman!
Ha ha, tack tack. Kul att höra!
Come get yer armour!
Warped Puma
my turret
Yer makin' a chicken out of a feather!!
Torbjörn ready to work!
Kount Kunt AWWWWWWW YEAHHH
Sky Blue don't get caught with your beard in the letter box
Very nice bro! Headed to the shop to whittle one out. I have herb needs choppin'! Su Amigo Siempre.
Cool. Thanks
That is very pretty and functional
I just had a bad thought, but imagine someone breaking into your house or some shit and you use this thing as like a brass-knuckle type thing
My turret!
PexyRex when I saw his name I knew I would find a comment like this somewhere lol
Maggie Schuerman ;) yeah lol it's a grrrreat name lol
probably only a lvl 1 turret
as a dane it is my civic duty to mock you. soo... shitty sharpening technique?
that however, was the only flaw i found.
Ha ha, shitty enough to work just fine.... :)
Torbjörn Åhman ya, im just jealous of your vice i guess.
and a bit pedantic about the sharpning
inceptori :) Some day I will buy some Japanese water stones and do it properly.
Torbjörn Åhman no need for that, you cuts were quality. it just lacked a little, i should think that with this www.dba.dk/koekkenudstyr-slibestaal-til/id-1021675238/
it will get that final kick.
That is one HUGE anvil. Jesus, that must weigh a ton, literally.
:) Only 400 lbs
Torbjörn Åhman Oh, well it was probably the camera angle that made it look huge, but non the less that is a heavy tool.
Yes it is... nothing you want landing on your foot....
Torbjörn Åhman Yeah, that would be quite tragic. Btw, thanks for taking the time for replying to my comments. Appreciate it. Most people who's videos are this popular dont care to reply to comments.
No problem! I try to read them all and replay when needed.
I would kill for a belt grinder like that
same :/
Or you could just buy one
+Johah George Do you have one?
*reaches for my knife*
Which is dull because you don't have the belt grinder yet! Ha!
SuperAhmed1337 dull knives kill slower and more painfully.
really great and accurate =) very natural Video.
I foresee great things from you
Canadian Cookie the forge is strong with this one
Canadian Cookie For the last time, I am Svvvvvvvvvvedish.
Build 'em up, break 'em down!
Nice done!
I told you :) Soon crucible steel, damascus chief knives, camp knives, axes and more :) Torbjörn Custom Knives, tools inc.
Ha ha :)
I've told that too!
He's right.
i read "head chopper"
DrGiggleWits ;) That's the next video ;)
My ocd kicked in on the other side of the chopper. I would have kept going until those darker bits went away lol.
:)
Torbjörn Åhman But, it is flipping amazing. I mean, I could never do that. And I am so impressed at those who can. Such talent. Much love from Canada 😊
Kylah b With some guidance I bet you could. It's not that complicated. :)
Torbjörn Åhman Awe, thank you so much. You're very sweet 😘
Now ask her, "Netflix and chill?"
you should make a straight razor
Love your videos! I’ve been trying to get into forging for a long time and this is helping a lot. Keep doing this please!
Thanks!
I used your method for the handle to make a herb chopper of my own today (I put a handle at each end) It works so well. Thank you.
Its just a hobby for me, I'm not very good but I enjoy doing it. I thought I was going to have to cut a tail at each end to make handles. I'm glad I came across your video. Greetings from Ireland.
How nice! Thanks and good luck with your next project!
What a amazing job, I would have one of these pieces in my kitchen ...
Thanks
I like it too
+StiltbeastStudios lol hey Allen! this isn't spooky what are you doing here? 😁 👻
Bloodborne?
I thought that too.
Lithric Nostrimont it almost looks like the saw cleaver from bloodborne, I do agree

Thank you very much Kemal!
ok i am done with the chopper, where i get the herbs from ? ;)
coffe shop
i meant, celery - mind and basil you naughty naughty boy ;)
Αθανασιος G3A3 Then maybe check at groccery store.
i was thinking something more natural,like a garden a home grow system, are you familiar with something? we make the damn thing with your hands, so we need to grow the herbs the same way, no ?
Washington State
nice but a hollow edge would have been better. stops the bruising of the herbs that way. rock on, great work.
why u dont make 1 knive and give to LUCKY subscribers, for sure u get subscriber more and want that knife..
I love the production quality of your videos, it is always a joy to watch. Thanks for spending the time.
Thanks.
The only thing I would of done different to you was buy one from a shop 😂
Really beautiful work! Perfect video
Thanks!
Oldschoolforge made a video on herb choppers, but he used an old file. I really liked that old rustic design, but I really appreciate how much cleaner this one looks.
What a fantastic knife, your editing skills are amazing i can definitely see how much blacksmithing means to you through your work, keep it up brother.
Thanks!!
So we can use it to chop "herbs" so to speak?
SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!
Wow... Hard work does really pay off.
Watched this when it first came out...finally got around to making my own. If I could hit the like button again, I would
Cheers!
Great! Thanks
You know you're a gardener when this becomes the object of your desire ! It looks so small in your hands 😆
it looks like half of a mezzaluna. so a [insert italian word for quarter] luna
MOONWOLF7395 quarto di luna
i dont kbow if this counts as ASMR, but the tapping and quietness combined with the making of these amazing objects makes me really happy. Thanks for posting, keep it up!!
Thanks! :)
Loving your hand made tools and knives... New sub. Keep sharing your skills mate.
1000 degree Herb chopper
ALPIK 😅
Vs dank kush
Looks like something from bloodborn
Svensk ? Riktigt bra video älskar sånt här p.s jag kommer prenumerera
Tack!
fully enjoyed as always sir thanks
This is my ASMR
love the way you drew that block out for handle ,striking on top diamond part of square respect bro ! Ant from Wales UK
molten coreeeeeeeeee
Don't get caught with your beard in a letterbox
Me baby
Build them up, break them down.
IM SVEEDISH
I’m sorry but I think my eyes might be a bit blind but is that a-a-a tampon you were using??😅
But other than that it’s honestly really good knife I even tried to “copy” it but I just did the handle like the blacksmiths knife
Do you smith for a living or as a hobby?
It's mostly a hobby for now.
Torbjörn Åhman Cool, but did you buy the equiptment or was it passed down to you?
Giant Dad I have bought or made all the equipment.
Torbjörn Åhman cool, thanks for the info, really helpfull :)
لية ياحج انت لو نزلت العتبه او اي سنتر في مصر هتجيب احلي مخرطة ملوخيه وعيش يامعلم وكمان ادوات مطبخ احسن من وجع القلب دا
This to me is ASMR because it's so relaxing to my ears
This is beautiful work. The height of the blade, the rocking movement it all perfectly done. But for someone like me who has to chop large amounts of herbs, often the handle is not practical at all. Too thin, and there is no easy way to rock it back and forth to use it on the herbs. ❤
How Could You Make it So Smoothly?!I Mean By the First Process Of Making the Handle the Edges were Smooth As Fuck Dude.
Thanks... well the answer is in the video I guess!
Comme on disais à mon apprentissage "tu as payer que la moitié du manche de ton marteau ?"
As mentioned in my learning "you have payed only the Half of the handle of your hammer?"
if not, good job, i like it
Incredible knife work! Can you build a turret next...maybe level 2? Bastion would be so proud! ;)
hahaha i was expecting it already hahahaha
Level 2 already? Suppose I need to gather some stuff and start building then...when do you need it?
Torbjörn Åhman Hahaha! Your awesome! Thanks for the great vids!
Nice work and beautiful knife.
The knife are in sale I will be very happy to have one in my kitchen
Best Regards

I have a love for these kinds of blades as they remind me of the centuries before machining, when you could look at something and see how much time, patience, and skill had been put into it.
This reminds me of the Saw Cleaver in Bloodborne
For this cutting you may also use ordinary knife also .... i think its a waste of time and energy on this weapon making
Because real men make their own food AND cooking tools.
Jokes aside, I found this video incredibly relaxing, thank you.
Thank you!
This video is an instant subscribe for me. Awesome work!
Thanks
Would be great in the war
is it weird that i used these videos to fall asleep to?
Fate Mandouh no I do the same
they are idd relaxing.... glad there is no music, just the sound of a man and his hammer .... "rubbing" steel in form or shape on a other steel block. guess we are staring in to the fire seeing this man at work.
11:36 oww dude why would you do dat
your editing skills have gotten very good over the past few uploads
Nobody mentioned that we Arab use this herb chopper to make a yummy Molokhia soup!!
Look it up folks!
Nice knife, great editing on the video!
Muy buen trabajo te felicito saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 me suscribo al canal
12:23 GAVE ME MAJOR ANXIETY
He just said it’s razor sharpe. Then proceeds to rub his finger on the blade. 😬😳
From the original picture I thought this thing was gigantic and you had it leaning on a bush
I would love to get to do this one day but I can't afford the anvil forge or steels the rest is just part of a basic tool kit though any recommendations for cheap yet good forges in the uk ps love your videos ;)
Thanks. A forge is quite easy to build. A pipe and a hole in the ground is pretty much a functional forge. Just need a blower. Anvils can be hard to find, but just keep your eyes open and search flee markets, farm auctions etc. Contact local blacksmiths and seek info. Any large chunk of steel would work as an anvil in the mean time.
Torbjörn Åhman ok thanks . are you ever going to do an in depth beginners guide ? .
xtraw I don't think so... but you never know :) I still consider myself a beginner at many levels.
Wow I consider you a high class expert
xtraw it's pretty easy to make your own forge. I've made a couple. Anvil just needs to be a solid bit of metal
Very nice, That handle had me stumped, until you demonstrated it. A lot of work for a humble little herb chopper.
_This is so satisfactory._
That anvil is massive
this stuff is so interesting to watch, thank you for putting the time into these videos :^)
Great, thanks!
its more easyer to chop herbs with a scisors!!!!But why not....tradicional tools are always great!
"For the last time, I'm Swedish!"
Thanks to this video. When i will have my anvil i think that its will be my first creation
Im thinking about making my mother one of these as a Christmas gift. for the sharpening and grinding, could a metal file and sandpaper work if you dont have a power sander or an angle grinder?
I think it will work. It depends somewhat on what steel you have, and if you can anneal it properly. I use O1 which to some extent air harden and can be tricky to fully anneal without a heat treating oven. It's tough on your files if not soft enough.
Is there any specific steel that would be easier on the file but would still be hard enough for this chopper? Thankyou for your answer btw.
Aaron Stoeckl I'm no knife maker really, but I think W-1,1084 or 1095 (hardened in water) is easier to work. Even salvaged spring steel (oil hardened) would work fine, and it usually is soft enough if you let it cool by itself slowly.
I will keep that in mind. Thankyou Torbjörn Åhman
Torbjörn Åhman hey I'm not sure if you know or not but someone has quite a bit of this video in a compilation, it's just sped up and parts cut out. Just letting you know because I know other people who are having problems with people taking their videos without asking or giving any sort of credit.
Wait.... That Herb chopper is like italian's Mezzaluna (or Halfmoon)
mezzaluna
Like my great grandpa always said “it’s not always the tool, sometimes it’s the operator”
i wish i knew how to do this :(
Antoi no
Yea, this dude isnt actully good at all. Its all about fantasy!
Didn't you just watch how to do it?
ForGnarnia I dont have a forge xD
Antoi no you shoulda said "i wish i can do this"
I wonder why a man with sush craftman skills uses a plastic cuttingbord?
What is the small iron flakes falling off when he's hammering it?
Iron oxides. It forms on the hot surface in contact with air.
Makes sense, thanks man
so. if you like your flat iron for a bevel, you can bore a hole through the other side, and run a bungee cable around your anvil so it doesn't bounce around.
Every time you stamp your touchmark, I mutter to myself... "THE MAKER'S MARK..."
I don't know why this was recommended for me but I'm glad it was. Subscribed.
Herb chopper 3000😂😂😂🔪💥
No. That's the fucking sawcleaver
Great job as usual!

You finished the chopper , now finish the salad.....
