    I appreciate that you're showing us how to make a knife without needing a forge.
    It's great for those of us who don't have access to that equipment🔥

      Yeah, knife making is really hard no matter what. This knife may not be all that great, but is still a good starting point. Thank you.

      Thank you. I know there are better ways on sharpening a blade, but I think it is fine how I did it in the video.

    Okay.... I like you using the slab steel, but I'd consider using knife blanks. It'll save you on all that work time shaping a blade. The chain is a neat idea... sort of a Mad Max, end of the world kind of thing.

    Not too bad but you need to learn how to harden your steel

    • @john_free_thinker
      @john_free_thinker  Год назад

      Thank you, but this 1095 steel was made just for knife making and kept its edge even after all the testing I did. I am sure it can be better, but as of now it is better than a lot of other homemade knives made by other people.

    • @squiglylon
      @squiglylon Год назад +2

      As easily as it looked to drill. I would surmise the steel didn't come to you hardened. You may have bought it from a knifemaking supplier. But the steel isn't made for knife making. 1095 is a type of steel that can be used for making a knife. It was cut in to the billet size to accommodate knifemaking at best. Part of making a knife, the most important and critical part, is heat treat. Educate yourself. with a wealth of knowledge available these days there's no justified reason not to be. Brushing off the excellent advice above shows a lack of a desire to learn. Freethinking is about gaining knowledge. Try it

    • @john_free_thinker
      @john_free_thinker  Год назад

      @@squiglylon Thank you, but it was harder to drill then what you see. Even with a drill press, it was still some what hard. It only looks easy because I do a lot of video cut outs. The steel is pretty hard for what it is, that is why on the testing, I really did push it hard. The ice chopping would flatten any weaker sharp edge, but did not on this one. There is always room for improvement, but I think for what it is, it is pretty good. Thank you for the comment.
