Forging an Integral hunter from a coil spring

In this week's video I forge an integral clip point hunter from an old coil spring.

Love the "Iron Wood" handle! I also like the Integral Bolster! It makes the whole knife look beefier! Thanks for sharing!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks for watching! I greatly appreciate it!

[@StrayWolfForge]

Turning cams for the win! Very nice job, i feel like all the materials used really worked well together. As always i enjoyed watching and learning.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Right on, they come in handy a lot. I appreciate you watching.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Nice job, Matt!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks!

[@6Sally5]

Love this! Is the handle ironwood? Perfect match for the rustic hand-forged blade. Super nice job on the integral bolster.

0:42 I literally checked my phone 🤣
Keep up the good work man! Incredible craftsmanship.
Where did you find this coil spring, and do you know what steel it is?

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I had forgot about my notification going off while filming and was listening to the playback of the finished video before uploading and had got up and walked away from the computer and heard it go off, I thought it was my phone too lol. I appreciate you watching. The set this came from was from an older 1980's Chevrolet and a quick search said that 5160 was used primarily by Chevrolet during that time.

[@aprilnichols2806]

Are you using a log splitter for a press? Because I’ve considered making one out of one.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Yep, it's a 27 ton log splitter converted to upright on a stand. I even kept the gas motor and just relocated it to the outside of my shop. I appreciate you watching.

[@aprilnichols2806]

@@Mysticmountainforge I think the motor is what gave it away. I’ve got one sounds just like it.

You need a water bucket right next to your grinder. It would make you faster
