[@elimoyse6943]

How were you able to tell what kind of material the saw blade was made from?

[@thewellnessshow9053]

Nice work! How did you put the layers all together to make your billet? And also, could you tell me what the big saw blades are from? Thanks man

[@FireCreekForge]

The billet is a typical forge weld, the saw blades came from a sawmill. Thanks for watching!

[@NamBui-ot2ox]

Do more, more and more friends

[@harjakter]

Nice vork👍👍

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@dmitryk754]

Why were you dipping the hammer in water when hammering out the bevels?

[@FireCreekForge]

To knock off the scale

[@oscarrosado8706]

Did anyone else hear the infamous “TING” sound @5:11. That means stress fractures.

[@FireCreekForge]

Actually just contraction of the steel...

[@steveschlobohm5793]

Beautiful Knife, you have that blade crazy sharp! Why were you dipping your hammer into the water?
Stay safe my friend.
I have a question for you. Would you be willing to make a sheath for me? I have a knife but don't like the sheath. Not sure if you would be interested in that or not. if you are I could send the knife to you or we could talk on the phone about it. just let me know. Enjoy your weekend!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks Steve! That is water, it knocks the scale off. Sure, i can make you a sheath. Have a good weekend!

[@lindboknifeandtool]

5:11 is that scale cracking? That sounds is nerve racking!

[@marin4311]

San Mai means "three layers" in Japanese.

[@andrewt2510]

good work, but the blade should be practically straight. and this knife cannot be used to cut the katsuramuki technique. you need to fix the knife geometry and re-sharpen. gl.
