    Great video! This will help a lot as I am still pretty new to bladesmithing and have had a harder time with full tang knives and shaping the handle. You did a great job of explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it that way. All in all great informative video!

    Really like this video. Didn't know about the twist corrections you covered. That's gonna help me tremendously. That and the way you covered establishing the plunge lines and distle taper are absolute game changers! Hopefully much less time is spent at the grinder!

    My first forge was too big and was a fuel hog to get any heat. My second charcoal forge can MELT/BURN my steel in 30 seconds from a dull red...

  • @dmock1334
    @dmock1334 2 года назад

    I wish two things…
    1. To see you finish this blade and
    2. To come have a day in the shop with you. You explain things so well. I love the narration of your video. The plunge and the bevels really gave me fits on the first knife I just forged this past weekend. Wish I could show you a pic so you could advise. I’ll just keep beating and practicing. I’ll get there.

    I have flubbed up my scales when I try affix them to a tapered tang. It must be a matter of getting it totally flat on either side. More practice. Beautiful piece right off the anvil brother.

    Awesome work Sam, a very informative video indeed! With tapering false edges or harpoon type edges, does the angle of the bevels have to gradually get more obtuse as you move towards the tip? Congrats on 6000 subs btw!

    • @SamTownsBladesmith
      @SamTownsBladesmith  3 года назад +1

      Thanks mate! Actually the angles get very slightly more acute toward the tip, good question though!

    What kind of hammer are you using? I have one I bought estate sell but both ends are mushrooming out. I’m thinking about grinding on it. Hopefully I’ll not ruin it!
