Knife from rusty bike spokes - can I do it?

- I try to make blade out of rusty old bike wheel spokes. First time forge welding such material. It was a great challenge , I almost failed a few times but I think I managed to make something cool at the end.
It's definitely not a bad knife, maybe some oil on the handle and it's done. I love the pattern, it's like a lightning in the knife!
Yes pretty cool pattern. I'll try to replicate on a bigger blade with some better steel :) Thank you for the nice comment
Good looking homemade type of mora knife...Good job!
thank you :)
Another great forge! Looking forward to the next scrap challenge!
thank you , next time I will try to find even worse scrap :D
Excellent, I didn't expect it to be like that, beautiful blade.
Super underrated! Love your work! Great job!
thank you mate , I'm glad that you liked it :)
Beautiful knife, thanks for explaining and sharing 😊
I read bike spokes, but thought bicycle. Lol
The handle looks great 👍👍
Thank you , I also liked the effect of the wire brush :) I will use it on other knives too:)
LoL. I was thinking, "That looks like a butter knife." Three seconds later you say the same thing. Nice work by the way. Not an ugly knife. It reminds me of the type of utility knife that would have been carried a couple hundred years ago; used for eating, skinning game, etc. Just a nice little secondary utility knife.
hahaha well it was very much a butter knife shape. Thank you for the nice words :)
*_That turned out absolutely gorgeous, dude! A fantastic piece to use for years to come! Please keep up this excellent work and videography! You are doing a fantastic job! 🍻🤘💜_*
thanks mate , I'll keep it up :)
your bevels are amazing and that pattern is superb - always lots to learn from your videos and I am hoping to see you grow your skills more and more... salut
thank you :) Not the most impressive blade but it was a learning experience. I hope that I'll find some rods in similar size but better steel and I will make bigger and better blade with the same pattern :)
Beautiful knife.👍👍👍🙂
Здравей, случайно попаднах във канала ти и разбрах че си българин. Имаш много хубави видеа, продължавай все така🙂🤝🤝🤝
Благодаря , че си решил да се отбиеш и да кажеш здрасти :) Радвам се , да видя и други хора от България тук. Поздрави за канала и видеата ти :)
Nicely done. I was hoping you'd leave the rust on the spokes like Big Dog Forge did with some of his damascus products, but this came out well.
the rust was very thick and I think that it would cause problems with the forge welding.
I am not sure , maybe the flux would be enough to remove it when heated but I wanted to be safe :)
and thank you for the nice comment :)
Нож получился просто класс, ещё бы рукоять маслом пропитать и будет вообще огонь🔥
You must be out of your mind, she's far from an ugly knife, I really like it
thank you it has it's charm indeed but the blade shape and size make it look funny :)
Great work!
thanks mate
Te quedó bien chingón!!!
Saludos cordiales desde México.
Gracias, hola desde Bulgaria.
Not ugly bro, your work is beautifull 😍
That is actually quite a beautiful knife, try some linseed oil on the handle to give it a sparkling look!
I actually coated it with tung oil but my clip got lost so I didn't show it in the video. And thank you , glad to hear that you like it :)
I like your scrap heaps!
Неплохой нож получился 👍
Я до последнего думал, что вы сделаете нож по Якутскому или/и Эвенкийскому варианту!
"Trying out new finish"
The new finish: F I R E
haha yea a bit surprising but works pretty well :)
Beautiful work, greetings from Atlanta, Georgia US 😊
I don't know which category of knives to put it in. But not ugly! 👍 G Work
I think “I wana do this”. Completely disregarding the time and dedication it takes lol realizing I’d get frustrated and quit after an hour
that's why I do it for you haha
@@RustLegion haha. I forgot to mention skill as well. Do you have a website where you sell them? Or take custom orders?
@@Jim_Bag I have instagram profile where you can check my previous work and you can send me a message there(link in the channel info) or on my e - mail - dimitarpopov88@yahoo.com
Beautiful knife and a wonderful job making it!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
thank you , glad you enjoyed it :)
Be happy, stay happy. Your happiness makes others feel happy 😊
Thank you , you be happy too :)
Great work
Damn bro, well done!
Thanks bro :)
Not ugly at all. It might be a bit simple, but it is a great knife.
Hello there, you should make a video forging a grafting knife, the ones with the bark lifter on the edge of the blade
A great work man, knife is wonderful 👍👍👏
thanks mate :)
Masterpiece
That is really cool
I wish you twisted it 😩 but the untwisted pattern is interesting, looks unique, next time try to maybe fold it once or twice but definitely do twist it 😊
I wanted to twist it and to fold it at least once or twice , but I should set up a vise next to my forge . And the material was not enough to fold. If I folded it, it would burn even more and leave me with very small peace. Maybe I needed 3 or 4 wheels :) And thank you for the positive comment :)
I like it.
Good job.
I really like what you did there, my only niggle is shortening the tang - where you could have left it long and peened the end of it and instead you drilled it to take a pin and compromised its strength. But still a great project!
Thank you , It was not long enough to peen it , I had to weld threaded rod or extend the tang and I think for such a small and thin knife it is not necessary :) For my bigger blades I peen the tang or fix it with nut :)
I like your work beautiful ❤❤❤
Your work its just simply amazing, have you ever tough of making of spurs?
thank you , no I never thought of that. Not many horse riders around me :) But I'll check it out it looks interesting :)
@@RustLegion could be a interesting proyect, keep the good work :D
I like it general utility knife.
Muito bacana seu trabalho irmão, salve aqui do Brasil
Muito obrigado, saudações da Bulgária :)
Dude is literally brushing fire of metal like it’s dog hair😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha yea a bit like this :D
Very very good.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the knife personally, What did you use to sharpen it I never saw something like that
Thank you , I used my home made sharpening jig with cheap diamond plates :)
It is a great looking knife
Thanks mate :)
Two questions bud.
To make a forge to make knives,do you think a good quality hair dryer would provide enough air power when blown thru maybe a 2 foot leader pipe (to keep the dryer safe from the heat.
And two...when you were shaping the blade on the piece of wood...was thar to add carbon into the blade steel?
For some operations hair dryer will do the job. The problem is that they are not designed to work for very long time without a break. Also if you want to forge something bigger or to do forge welding you will need something more powerful.
I used the wood because I make a forge weld (i want to fuse all the spokes together) and since they are all small pieces , if I put them on the anvil , since it is metal it has good thermal conductivity and it will absorb the heat from the spokes very fast and the forge weld may not take . On the other hand the wood is more like insulation and when I put the billet on the wood it will not lose heat so fast so I can hit it a few times to fuse it together
I hope that my explanation is clear , sorry but my English is not very good.
@@RustLegion Your english AND explanations are perfect bud.Thank you so much for replying to my questions.😁👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity have you thought about selling these? I’m not pressuring or anything I was just think that if I had your talent I’d probably sell ‘em
Bro got tools for the tools😂
Nice👍
What's the heat treatment/tempering that you used and how long? You've only shown that You've hardened the blade
Also when you hardened it did you use Kerosene or was it something else?
I heated it to non-magnetic and quenched in fast oil. Then I tempered 2 times at 200C 1 hour cycles
@@RustLegion Thanks ☺️❤
I wish I could do stuff like this. What do you use as a forge? All I could see was bricks lol
hahaha yea - some fire bricks, iron pipe with some holes in it and air blower :) A charcoal forge is a pretty simple device. :)
Hey,Im a New Subscriber and a Very new blacksmith, Im on a tight budget but could you give me some pointers on smithing a Pair of tongs? People say thats what a brand new blacksmith should try out
hello mate , yes forging pair of tongs is very good start and there are plenty of good videos how to do it on the internet - ruclips.net/video/0_iFg-pn1iM/видео.html this one seems very simple and basic. Unfortunately I never forged tongs myself so I can't give you any advice but the sooner you make a pair - the better.
I always get skeptical when I see knives being made from scraps & it's hardness. But ig high hardness aren't that necessary in the end.
in some cases scrap is good steel (bearings, files) In this case it was a bit low quality but I mainly did it for the challenge and to practice forge welding :)
@@RustLegion yeah. Honing skill is necessary
Can those be used as nails
Mükemmel bir iş çıkardınız o bıçak benim olmalıydı
The hardenableness test is something like that, am I right?
You hardened it and didn’t temper it on purpose so that you would see this: If it did bend instead of breaking it would’ve been non-hardenable
yes just to check if there is enough carbon in this steel to get it hard
Es posible hacerlo sin prensaaa vamoooo
Καλησπέρα, θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω κάτι. Στην δουλειά μου έχουμε οδοντοτα μαχαίρια σε μια μηχανή που κόβει φρουτο. Δεν έχουν υποστεί θερμική σκλήρυνση μάλλον για να μην σπάνε και μένουν κομμάτια μέσα στο προϊόν. Μπορώ να κάνω σκλήρυνση σε κάποιο οστε να το μετατρέψω σε μαχαίρι για ψωμί;
greart job +another sub
I hope that you will enjoy your stay :)
μπραβο φιλε!
You know its hardeable because it broke after the heat?
👍👍👍👍👍
