Blacksmithing: making billhook knife

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 10 фев 2019
  • I hand forge a billhook with no power tools. I only show the forging process - no heat treat, no handle, no sheath. Just forging the blade into shape with treadle hammer and hand hold hammer. Open the full video description for more information.
    The billhook have convex center grind on the curved side and chisel grind on the other side. Made from leaf spring (spring steel) from a car.
    The plan was to make it and use it on future bushcraft trips - but I don't like the design with two knifes in one blade. Thought I may would - but no. So I will not finish it and use it in future videos. I am woking on another design I like a lot better.

    1. What "power hammer" is that?

    Interesting engineering on display Rune and also so refreshing to see a video without background music and commentary I really appreciate your formula. Much more engaging and great to focus on the natural tones and resonant audio. Thank you

    Beautiful tools . . . billhooks were used here to harvest sugarbeets which was a big industry at the turn of the 19th century . . . backbreaking work until machinery took over; thanks Bertram (got the name right this time :)

    • @vojtechsvetlik7957
      @vojtechsvetlik7957 5 лет назад +2

      just start man! pick up something thats steel and heavy if you dont have an anvil (ideally a railroad track), do yourself some research and start. Id recommend not starting with a knife though. They arent that easy to make, they are time consuming, have to be somehow hardened, which i snot an easy process for a beginner. I made my first knife about half a year in. And it was totally worth the wait. Start out with some basic stuff. Leaves, hooks, bottle openers etc. There is plenty of channels out there to help you. Good luck!

    Maybe it is just me, but it seems that energy is lost in the instability of the base of the power hammer. There seems to be a lot of movement there thereby an energy loss is occurring. Cheers and fine work!
