    That’s a beautiful knife. 99% of people don’t abuse their knives. That would be a life time knife for most people. Great job.

    Forging a knife from an old bearing ring sounds much more poetic than forging a knife from brand new steel. The first is art, the second is manufacturing!

      This is some beautiful work but the end of the handle seems to take an upsweep. To my eye it should be rolled over. The end flared down relative to and in line with the edge. Nit picking I suppose but still, the craftsmanship is great and I really enjoyed watching.

    If that was a Timken bearing it was originally made from reclaimed steel. I worked for Timken bearings for about 7 yrars and then Timkensteel for 18 years. I made all parts of bearings except the cage and worked the electric arc furnace where we melted scrap to make the speciality steel used in bearings. I'm glad to see another life for that bearing.

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  2 года назад

      I don't think it's a Timken, but yes a lot of steel is recycled these days. Thanks for watching

  • @varun009

    Get yourself a mini rolling mill. I use leaf springs for my knives and the rolling mill saves a lot of fuel and frustration. You can take a fairly small chunk and run it through a few times and end up with a dimensionally accurate billet with virtually no loss. Harbor freight has a decent one. It's especially good for roundstock scrap like big auger bits and large bolts.

    • @FireCreekForge
