  • This is a multi purpose combat utility knife that I'm forging for a Marine.
    The steel is high carbon 80CrV2. Blade length about 5.5". Handle scales black/coyote G10, with Loveless bolts.

    Dude, using the drill press to set the eyelets was pretty genius! Heating your coffee with the heat gun😂😂😂 great work man, beautiful knife!

    Beautiful knife and a perfect carry size. I’d have loved one like that on my kit when I was in.

    Yes, chopping through a 2x4 proves the point....and the edge😊

    I doubt I’d be any good at it, but just once I’d like the opportunity to shape metal.
    It just looks so satisfying to craft a device of your own creation

      gloves prevent you from feeling how hot the blade is getting, way to uncomfortable long before the temper is ruined

I lived on the beach in Mississippi in pass Christian where the eye of Katrina came ashore. Old news in this day

    how did i miss this one?
    You could have just cut off the shapes but you chose to forge it, i mean thats what i always comes to my thought whenever i see knife making videos, because it saves a ton of steel as compared to drilling\cutting it off.

    other then that concern i do like what you made there, really nice.

    Do you ever do bend testing or hardness testing on your blades?

      @FireCreekForge  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I do bend testing, I don't have a way to hardness test. I'm not as concerned with that, as i have a target hardness which i test performance at (Edge retention, toughness) which tells me more of what i need to know.

    Do you have faith in the words you sang, "are you washed in the blood of the Lamb"? If you mean thereby Christ's agonizing bleeding crucifixion death for the forgiveness of sins, I fully concur. (I am a Lutheran pastor emeritus.) BTW, also admire your blade forging skill.
