@@Fabsi87not exactly. He’s actually introducing a fair amount of carbon into the steel by using a charcoal forge. Most of the carbon will be near surface so he’s basically case hardening. But quenching will definitely have an effect.
Reinforcement bars have a very uneven carbon content, because they are made by melting together all kinds of steels, mostly mild steel but some spring- and toolsteels too. They are too brittle for fine ornamental forging but too soft for blades. I only make arrowheads from them because they are easier to forge than springsteels but a waterquench gives them a little bit of hardness, not enough too be brittle but I've seen examples of that too. This knife should have been forged out of a leaf spring instead.
Looks 18 inches or more. And YES to the point about the water quench. Balls it took. So my question about that is when you quench in oil. Is the knife harder or the same as water? I never saw water quenching before. THANKS
Most rebar is mild steel and not hardenable. There are some types of rebar that is made of good steel that is hardenable, I’m doubtful this is that kind of steel though.
As I understand it, the idea is that manufacturers don't really control carbon content that closely with rebar, so you j u s t might be lucky and find that yours does pass the file test after heat treat. On my channel there's a rebar sword video. - after making it I realised it didn't matter to me whether the rigmarole had achieved anything as I'd better not sharpen it, given that everyone who sees it wants to pick it up and look at it, so I don't keep it sharp anyway. But obviously, most people want to make a functional item and wouldn't be content with having made a mere wallhanger.
Generally speaking, you can somewhat tell if it’s harden-able by how well it sparks when you grind it. The more sparks, the better. At least that’s what I have heard while watching Forged in Fire for 9 seasons.
Wonder what the Carbon content of that steel he was using,, could have a very brittle knife there (water quench & no tempering) Also that groove and the "saw teeth" on the back are great stress risers, just begging to be crack initiators (particularly with brittle steel)
Большой довольно грубо сделаный клинок из очень простой стали, в принципе если это просто робочий нож то вопросов нет и мастер имеет неплохой наработанные навык изготовления. Но считаю что для такого большого ножа лучше было изготовить лезвие из двух сталей, внешнюю часть например из рессоры, более гибкую и пластичную и режишюю кромку из подшипника. Это конечно намного трудоемнее но и более лутьшего качества было бы. Да и просто понаблюдать за работой было бы интереснее. Хотелось увидеть как мастер сделал бы например мачете.
Nice job, but how do you work without ear protection ? No noise-canceling headphones, and I didn't see any earplugs. The noise is hellish, take care of your health, at least you're hearing, when you lose it, you never get it back. The machine that hits metal is a dream for many blacksmiths, who do everything by hand! You're in luck ! 🤠👍
As always magnificent craftsmanship.
You have made a beautiful heavy chopper, well-done.
Work of art
Totally awesome.
Amazing work
Beautiful piece of art, and hardwork ❤🔥👏👏👏
Definitely one of my favorites by your hands!
Asombroso dicen que no existe la perfección pero me parece que este herrero lo logró es está obra maestra 😮😮mis felicitaciones 👏👏👏👏
Sick build!
Gorgeous 😍
Best yet, superb craftsmanship.
A true master.
Wow! Simply wow
Beautiful I want one
Super nice
Very nice blade. Good work.
Wow❤
Magnifique 😘😘😘
Wonder! Congratulations, Master! 👍👑👍
I want this knife. Amazing job
Nice work
O demir parçasını ustalığınla sanatınla bu göz kamaştıran bıçağa dönüştürdüğünü izlemek çok keyifli ellerine sağlık Türkiyeden selamlar.

MUy bueno el trabajo, y los detalles, felicidades ❤
Very nice blade
Super mișto !

Nice
What a hell of a knife from a Chunk of Rebar 🎥🏆👍
الو سلام برادر خوب وعالی عالی است ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice work. You make it look easy. What type of wood in the scales. Nice grain. Looked really hard. Thanks.
Wicked
I want it. You did the Best I've ever seen. Great job!
That's not a knife, this is a knife.
That's a big ass knife! Looks awesome! Super sweet😎
Very nice as usual 😊
Okay, you got me. I see you wearing them so I've kept my word...lovely grinding and hammering.....
Very cool man 😎👍💯🔥
I'm here for the water quench.
mantap
This is a piece of art *-*
That knife is bad ass
ایول😮🤝👌👍
Работа мастера!
That was a ballsy move doing a full quench in water…😮
Not to mention the blade's color not being even and was way too hot in a spot!
@@renegaderetiree60 Rebars are soft steel so hardening is pretty much useless.

Ya that made me hold my breath

It can cleave skallz, as it should. Well done!
This is the best rebar knife I've seen anybody make
LOOKS LIKE THE RAMBO KNIFE.
How did you get into knife making?
Aside from from the belt sander i used to do exactly this with my early blades though i never used rebar simply because i didn't have a source.
A piece of art !!! Job well done
Damm that is one big knife. Beautiful. I would be proud to carry that one. That wood must be awful hard? Thank you.
Now that's a knife
Croc' Dundee's accent!
I would pay good money or that awesome work.
To handle such a large angle grinder for such intricate work must need strength and talent
Solid
I'll take two please! :D
That is one beautiful big knife. Amazing job. 🫨👍
Wow

ممتاز
❤❤❤
What does the motor oil do?
Does rebar even harden properly?
no, it's a low carbon steel. Lot of time spent which could have been better used.
Most rebar is mild steel and not hardenable. There are some types of rebar that is made of good steel that is hardenable, I’m doubtful this is that kind of steel though.
Mick Dundee would love it
Rambo would approve!
Are they for sale?

@@philsturgill3435 Yes! And by whether the sparks it throws out subdivide in flight!
@@philsturgill3435😂 f,I,f has made everyone a blacksmith
It has some very complex sparks it's kicking out so it looks hardenable
Nice! this knife is a better looking than the ones I see at stores.
assalam alakum bro .nice job
Aleykum salam
What type of rebar?
Do you sell or knives I'd like to buy this one
Ωραίο μαχαίρι φίλε μου. Όμως γιατί χρησιμοποίησες νερό για βαφή και όχι λάδι;
How can we purchase your work?
When did he temper it?
Həci ❤ di
Either the camera is playing its tricks or the heat was very uneven before quenching.
Getting that blade to cut is easy, put it to break something and see if it breaks under pressure would have been more interesting to see
in my experience, reinforcement bar steel suitable use salt water for quenching.
What is the size of this knife?
Wonder what the Carbon content of that steel he was using,, could have a very brittle knife there (water quench & no tempering)
Also that groove and the "saw teeth" on the back are great stress risers, just begging to be crack initiators (particularly with brittle steel)
In the end, I bet he was thinking "it will cut".
butter 😂😂😂
Honestly I'm more impressed that sir have 100% of beard save in all videos than knife making skill
الو سلام ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful. The only thing I would change is to give it a Damascus pattern.
So can you harden rebar or no
It will keal...

Again my deepest respect can i ask you something?
Why you don't have a logo all you're creations are very special that will survive you i know.
12:57 - That was easy. ;) Since this blade is rebar, wouldn't it easily rust?
not if you keep it properly oiled
Я надеюсь что не ошибаюсь с маркой стали.... Это же МГ2Р? Или я не прав?
МГ2Р это "мягче говнвна в 2 раза"
Might as well be a shortsword lol. Knife looks awesome

How about making a knife out of an old railroad track rail?
What's funny is that some rebar is made form railroad tracks already. It will have a "R" mark - and is like axle steel in composition A996/A996M
