Forging a Camp, BBQ, Tacitical, Kitchen, Viking, "Hoork" Herb Chopper!

- A certain company had this video taken down under RUclips's counterfeit policy so I've had to make changes and put it back up. In the video I examined the (in my opinion) marketing lies and false claims attached to a certain infamous knife and took on the challenge of forging a noticeably different and better knife I call the Hoork Herb Chopper. The one-off knife I forge here IS NOT FOR SALE.
RUclips is awful.
The original version of this video went up a couple years ago and like Peter's videos about this deceptively marketed product was taken down by RUclips at the behest of the company in question. In this case, my video appears to have been taken down under RUclips's Counterfeit Codes policy. Why hand forging a one-off similar but different and improved knife inspired by a design which is already manufactured by a host of different entities represents counterfeiting only RUclips can say.
Per their policy the item in question must imitate the brand features of a product in an attempt to pass itself off as genuine and the item is promoted for sale. The knife forged here met NONE of those criteria.
The title of the original Video "Actually Forging A H&&*K Jap#$*%@ Blade" was aimed at the false marketing claim made by the company who sold me the knife in question that it was 'hand forged' which it was not.
As best I can tell this policy is aimed at advertisers and not content producers so...?
The truth is that the original video being taken down amounts to harassment.
From a fellow bladesmith I hang my head in shame that i have not found your channel until today. Your improvements and craftsmanship are on point!!!
Well, there's no question your version is superior in every important respect. I still have no use for that hole in the blade, but to each his or her own.
SO GLAD to see it chops rope so well!
Fantastic work, Steve! Really well done!!! 😃
It turned infinitely better than the original!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
"Taking a terrible knife and making a better version" is a fun theme for sure.
Greatly improved well done.
Well, the steel and geometry of yours is much improved, but the design of that knife in general is basically for show and not real use.
Great video as always beetle.
That was awesome. Got a few laughs out of it. Your version was pretty good considering the shape of the thing.
Yeah I watch Peter's channel, he is brilliant, and a bit off beat as well, and as you are aware, he has torn strips of these knives and the company that makes them. I think he even copped a bit of heat from that company as well. That and people were sending them to him for a laugh and to see what he'd do.
The one you bought is a wall hanger, as in hang it on the wall and look at it.
Thank you
Nice work, massive improvement
Fantatstic work 👍👍
Have to love the title
Put a damp paper towel or dish towel under your cutting board, will help stop it from moving around so much.
Glad to see you have a working power hammer now.
This video is 2 years old
@@GreenBeetle sorry to pour salt in the wound. I commented before reading your post about this being previously taken down. I hope the power hammer fairy finds your house soon.
Ding!!! table 3 more chopped rope!! 😸
Nothing will ever outperform the Viking block!
Ty yes
Really liking the videos, in 5:16 the 0,22mm for control hole are not right, it should be 22,35mm (22,4mm). It's not really that importent but still let me in confusion for a moment.
Very nice assessment, was wondering about those knives. You wouldn’t happen to have the pattern? I’d like to try it in leaf spring. Glad to see new video for sure.
I don't have it anymore. If you try to forge this knife or a similar knife RUclips will sue you.
Yours looks better without the hole in back
I think I have said this before, but I absolutely hate the forge scale left on cooking knives. It is just a place for bacteria to grow. I want my knives to be polished and smooth.
I think, I always like to see a green beetle you tube video...
I'll never understand how this design became popular. the tip is too high, there's no flat near the heel, the pinch grip curve is too big a radius, there's no distal-taper, the balance is unpleasantly forward, the spine is squared not rounded, the steel and edge geometry is terrible for a culinary knife especially one for veggies, and oh, the giant hole in the middle does nothing. I could go on but what's the point. Anyway, you did a great job recreating it and I respect the attention to detail, and skill required to do this.
3:10 Huh huh huh. If I could move my arm that fast...I'd never leave the house. Huh huh huh.
Looks pretty good, I'll give you $5 cash money for it!
Genuinely curious, why do you harden the tang? I quench up to an inch or 2 past the blade and leave most of the tang soft.
Why not? If you temper it back with a torch to a spring temper it'll be super strong and tough, stronger than normalized steel.
Also the control hole removes lots of material, so strengthening what is left keeps it from bending/snapping
7:58 - beginning of fording.
I have a challenge/request/idea for you. I have just a kydex sheath from one of my favorite fixed blades that turned out to be a one of a kind prototype (didn't know that when I won the auction on eBay), and I unfortunately lost the knife to the Detroit River while fishing. If I sent you the sheath, do you think you could recreate the knife just based on the dimensions?
Green Beetle is now Orange Beetle.
Your knife was far superior in every respect
I like your forged finish better, as well as the burlap micarta. That "Viking" knife is not getting good reviews from anyone. LOL
Would have ditched the weird hole altogether
Yours is better! But I don’t know that I would find that design useful.
send it down under as a prank maybe call it Hooosk :)
🤜🤛
Looks to me like it would be a good skinning knife ! 🤷♂️
*reads description* ohhhhhh
I thought I've seen this video from you before, now after readin gthe pinned comment I see why. 🙄.
Someone in China made a typo and made 1000000 knives instead of 10000 and now they got to get rid of them somehow.
Great video, and kudos to you for trying to find something nice to say about that godawful thing. I find the "jack of all trades" marketing hilarious as its only purpose is clearly to make sure this POS shows up in as many searches as possible. Would you buy a saw that was advertised as a "rip-crosscut-miter-keyhole-Japanese-hack-coping-table-radial arm chainsaw, perfect for every task"?? Good grief. IMHO it's even a lousy herb chopper as the edge geometry forces you to swing your arm up and down through a 45 degree angle like you're doing pullups. All I can say is, for $20 it's a great joke gift to give to your office enemy to make their life palpably worse.
STEVE!
Steve!
@@TBWblades BARTHOLOMEW!
Would you be willing to share a PDF of the knife design?
I did all that several years ago that pdf is long gone
@@GreenBeetle I'll draw one up, just wanted to see if I could save some time.
As a forging, BBQing, tactical camping, kitchen Vikingr...
I do not condone this steel's quality, profile or performance.
I've pulled better iron off battle trophy chariot wheels on the frozen volcanic lakes of Niflheim.
What are we culturally appropriating today for more sales evildoers?
Yes
See this is were most content creators seem to get lost about youtube being about money, clout, chicks and copyright claims. Its really not, its about quality shitposting about other people's complete garbage
It's a visually pleasing knife. Really? Looks like a naff ninja knife for teenagers to try to look cool.
Its soup can junk
Yeah RUclips sucks.
Green stop judging and making fun on somebody’s knives You have no right to do it shame on you very disrespecting You lost your value in my eyes in in the eyes of your subscribers don’t do it
What a shame I would never thought you would do that. Just mind your business and do your work, don’t like it don’t buy it don’t judge it
I’ll call out marketing lies, false claims and poor design whenever I like. If the knife had been sold as “Stamped from inexpensive steel Chinese-made fantasy blade” I’d have left it alone. You can get to steppin’.
This is a joke? Ironic? Sarcastic......?
@@GreenBeetle Keep doing what you do Steve! Clearly the poster didn't read any of the other comments. 😂
I'm guessing this is an attempt at sarcasm?
