    You can tell Alec is doing what he loves, that he has a passion for smithing. He seems to love teaching and spreading his love for his craft. And he’s good at it, too.

    Good to see you two working together. My two favourite you-tubers. If you hadn't guessed, I'm an older bloke that just getting into RUclips. Alec, your videos are informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work. Mike, your videos never fail to educate and entertain. Keep up the good work. You two young blokes are great role models for younger people. All the best, fellas/

    Hey Alec, check this out. This is the data sheet for a very common O1 tool steel, it shows what hardness you get at a specific cooling speed. I suggest going for something below 300 HV, so you would need to cool your steel down from 800°c to around 600°c in roughly 5 min. Your cooling speed was probably way too fast. Maybe put it in the forge together with a block of steel. Slower is always better ;)

    @blackdemon9450 6 лет назад +13

    Hey Alec im watching the video now. I have an idea of your interested though. Now that the frame lock knife is done why don't you try your hand at a Swiss army knife. Like with pliers, knife, corkscrew, bottle opener, ext. Or what ever you want, I think you would have fun with that challenge. Anyways keep doing you, and stay awesome.

    Looking good Mike and Alex, can't wait to see the outcome... hope it's top notch. Being hand forged, designed by the user and engineered by the master; I'm hoping it's just perfect for Mike. Can't wait to see the following videos on both channels. Great to see you with a hammer in your hand Mike, a skill all blokes (and adventurous ladies) should get a handle on and use, or at least the concepts of how it works and why.

    Or perhaps a seperate video on file work on some scraps of metal. I live in France and here it is difficult to find metal for knife making, I don't want to spend a fortune on good metal for my first attempts so i use old circular saw blades cut up with an angle grinder. Any other ideas for cheap metal would be welcome. Keep up the good work Alec. Great collabs.

  • @billbussler3332
    @billbussler3332 6 лет назад +1

    A full tang knife should have a tapered tang for balance. A knife that is handle heavy isn't as comfortable. I prefer to taper mine with the mill but A lot of people grind it. You should try it Alec I think you'll like the feel and it also has a nice look to it as well....more refined.

    • @NextMerckx
      @NextMerckx 6 лет назад

      Bill Bussler Why taper it instead of just drilling or fullering it? Serious question.

    • @billbussler3332
      @billbussler3332 6 лет назад

      Chris R - I can't think of any real practical reason to taper. I guess my reason is more aesthetic than anything else, it makes the knife look more refined. Each to his own though but I think every maker ought to at least give all the different options a try to see what they like. The main point though really is just removing some of the handle weight.
