      BTW, what model power hammer is that?
      I recently missed out on buying a used Sahinler out of someplace in Texas, so I'm still looking. Are you happy with yours?

      It's a Bullhammer 75 - but they went out of business. I think the original owner reformed as PhoenixHammer.

    Nice video! I'm a fellow bladesmith who's spent far too long out of his shop. This was an interesting project for a knife style I hadn't seen before.
    Makes me want to clear a path through the snow and fire up my forge!
    Great work!

    I inherited a knife like this from my grandmother. So far I looked at it as some fancy antique thing, but after watching this video, I see how much time & craftmanship went into the piece and my respect for it increased.

    For those of you who want to see how the kabab barg knife is used in iran; ruclips.net/video/pYBlba8uNys/видео.html
    This form of kabab is very traditional and the knife likewise. Its traditionally made from lamb but beef is just as common.

  • @x3youuuu
    @x3youuuu 10 лет назад

    This is not just a knife or a tool man, this is an art piece. I've used a disk sanding machine before as a student for a project, and its really difficult to control and keep what's in your hand. It will always fly out of your hand due to the high speed of the disk and friction. Furthermore they're holding sharp pieces.
    The process of making it, the time spent, the details, makes it worthy to be called an art. =)
