Forging my first chef's knife! | Hand forging a chef's blade

This is my first time (semi) forging a kitchen knife! And it went way better than it had any right too! 8670 high carbon steel for the blade, Exotic wood for the handle, and recycled copper for the bolster. Epic.

That is the most beautiful kitchen I have ever seen

Awww, shucks.

[@NathanielKlemm-py7pz]

I think that's the best full tang knife you have ever made.

[@caleb-ray]

Can't be, it's stick tang, but it is really cool.

Do you think that a soddering iron will work as a wood burner.

[@caleb-ray]

Well, the company that makes my wood burner makes soldering irons too, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing...
