    In this blacksmithing video, I will show you how I used a crowbar from the hardware store and forged it into a knife. This metalworking project was inspired by the Roughrider Bowie knife. Overall the forged knife came out a little bit smaller than I wanted, and it is not at all a perfect execution.., but I did learn some valuable lessons while working on this that I’ll bring into my next forged knife project build. I did have to add some (bad) weld off camera to widen the handles .. you can see the porosity in the handles final edge. I hope you enjoy this project build!

    I can't be the only one who assumed this was going to be a knife on one end and a crowbar hook on the other, as one piece. But that would be lunacy.

  • @paulkolodner2445
    @paulkolodner2445 3 года назад +3

    I recommend the Edge-On-Up sharpness tester. It gives a quantitative measurement of how sharp an edge is, much better than shaving your arm hair or slicing up paper. The feedback from this gadget allowed me to upgrade my sharpening skills from Mediocre to Barely Acceptable.

    • @Demolishionist
      @Demolishionist 3 года назад +2

      While I can see the value in that test for comparing blades or for quality control/batch testing in production work, real world use case tests are more relatable.

    The shape of the handle, and the proximity to Fall/Halloween was making me think of coffins. Or I'm just morbid. Anyway, I sense a missed opportunity. There's always that other half of the crowbar that could be made into a Crow-fin-bowie? Coffin-bar-bowie? I dunno, name needs work I guess.

  • @troystone7392
    @troystone7392 2 года назад

    Just a little know it all comment: a true Bowie has that first quarter of the back of the knife as sharp as blade itself. Makes for easier stabbing I suppose. I haven’t tried it for that yet, but who knows…Anyway you made that part of your knife straight so it should be easy to sharpen. That part of my Bowie is curved, concave of course, making it difficult to sharpen.

  • @matthewb8229

    The opportunity for great gag was missed. When you shaved the hair on your arm, there should have been a jump cut to an arm hitting the floor (think Monty Python's Black Knight). I would have lost it. Great knife.
