Non-bladesmiths don't truly appreciate just how much time and effort goes into making sure each project is carefully, and repeatedly dropped. After looking around the shop for that thing that was in your hand just 5 seconds ago, it's the most important part of the job.
Or setting up the hardy tool or press die or whatever to be in the perfect position so you can immediately get to work as soon as your steel comes out of the forge... Only for it to immediately get knocked on the floor or out of alignment.

In New Zealand we call these slashers: basically a machete with an axe handle. Many are made by cutting a leaf out of the springs of an old Landrover, then heating it with a gas torch and hammering it flat, then grinding an edge. The steel has vanadium in it, so holds an edge well.
Red Bull definitely needs to sponsor your channel! Good project - we used one growing up on the farm to break down not only hogs but also deer and elk.
I'm a blacksmith and custom knife maker myself and almost 20 years ago I traded a guy a couple of my knives for one of those but it was made for splitting cattle and it's about twice the size of the one you made and it was made in the early 1900's. I love huge blades like that. Your's will definitely make short work of splitting a hog. Great job and I just subbed!
I hate the "Everything i do is perfect" view of some people. You fuck up, i fuck up, everybody fucks up. 😂 So why not show the truth 😄 And....its funny aswell 😂😂
I make knives and some tools her in Appalachian Tennessee. I suppose we Hubers like working metal. I saw a Huber Knife from the 19th century that he made for the USG.
@MartinHuber_Knives I hope you have made some more Hubers with your woman. I have no male heirs here in the Lebensraum of Mystery Babylon. We have some Hubers in Nicaragua. Probably more places. Hans Ulrich Huber was our ancestor. He came to Lititz, Pennsylvania in 1740. You have a really high quality shop, keep making cool stuff!
ash is a great choice for a handle not as hard as some thing like hickory but planty good for strength wise its just a bit more springy and won't beat your hands up as much
In my early days of hog butchering, my blade was much bigger. 3/8" tang and blade spine wide, 18" × 1-1/2" tang with 18" wood handle, and 33" × 10" blade. Honed from 2" from the spine. Gotten love family farm child labor.
I was so rooting for the hot end of the tang, when you dropped it the 7th time or whatever. Hell yes pastern weld that at about 80 layers with a twist...As always thank you for your time and effort 😎😎
@@MartinHuber_Knives I drop shit every day when i'm in the shop. I blew a billet off the back end of my air power hammer and it landed on the air hoses and it was like a slapping contest with Jackie Chan. Thank whoever I had the tongs still in my hand.
-"Is it a knife or an axe?" -"Yes" It's a beauty! With a knife like this you could bring down a boar, butcher it and prepare a meal all with that one blade. Awesome stuff :)
I have a massive splitter that was given to me by my uncle. It hung in his garage for years and was there when he bought the house. First thing I did with it when he gave it to me was see how big a log I could split. 😂🤣😂
Amazing work it looks amazing and it will cut 😁I wish I could buy one of your pieces but anything over six inches and has a sharp edge or multiple sharp edges is not allowed into Ireland 🇮🇪
@MartinHuber_Knives wow! I had no idea!. That's what do you call it? Wonderschön. I was stationed in West Germany in 90-92 and was exposed to some of the language. I regret not learning it.
@MartinHuber_Knives happened the day before my B day and wife went out and bought ne a new ibanez guutar lol tried playing last night ripped open a couple of stitches lmao can't win
For all blades up to 600mm i got an evenheat oven, this one i quenched in my gasforge cause its waaaaay to big. Total size of this was 820mm and tempered in the Industrial Baker-oven from my mom 😄

@@MartinHuber_Knives I see a lot of power hammer work. Kinda pussy for red bull

Not sure what I was enjoying more.… the blacksmithing or the music
well....both in combination maybe? 😄
@@MartinHuber_Knives I watched until the end for 2 reasons: it was an awesome video and I wanted to know the music artist. Who is it?

@@MartinHuber_Knives ok, fair enough. Looks like a fun project mate 👌🏻
Rule of thumb don’t let your goonies get burned by hot steel 😭😱🤕🤕🤕🤕
it was DAMN close.
Looks like Deutschland in the background. Maybe Schweiz.
even nicer - Austria 🇦🇹😄
Austria 🇦🇹🙌🏻
@MartinHuber_Knives well, I suppose the Huber Volk have spread around pretty good! All the way to Österreich!!
@@taterbug70 Well its an Austro-German name :D

Ooh

No powerhammer though....
Im gonna burn the handle and use linenseed oil....
loved this project
Make me one
no problem dude 🙌🏻
Muss das ding auch machen xD. Schaun ma mal ob Ich das mit Lastwagenfedern hin bekomme
Die Andere Frage ist ob meine 600 Jahre Alte Esse solche Rohlinge überhaupt anheizen kann

Is there a discount for drops during forging 😆
I love your channel & your vibe 🥃🔥

wanna keep the channel "kinda" family friendly.
.....and i dont make that ammount of money on youtube to afford one 😂😂😂😂😂
What make of heat treating oven do you have ?
For all blades up to 600mm i got an evenheat oven, this one i quenched in my gasforge cause its waaaaay to big.
Total size of this was 820mm
and tempered in the Industrial Baker-oven from my mom 😄
