Worked in a community garden that had a few of these. Initially thought they were gimmicky, but really grew to like how generally functional the shape turned out to be. Yours is a thing of beauty. I love your capacity to bring the metal back from that awkward lobe shape imparted by the power hammer to a nice clean end without having to sheer it off. Much skill.
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I particularly love how close you forge to the finished product, whereas other smiths often just forge a square billet and cut and grind to the final shape. Verry cool to see, and awesome end result too!
This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy seeing on RUclips. Just someone showing their skill without embellishment or excess showmanship. Also, I appreciate that you show what can be done with limited tools. Makes it less scary for beginners to try.
For years I carried one of these everyday on my belt. It's one of my favorite tools for my trade and it makes me happy to see people appreciate them Good work!
So delighted to see actual forging. When you hammered in the shoulders it was refreshing. To many people now think that grinding a piece of metal then heating and quenching it is forging.
Very well done sir. Your talents are inspiring and your craftsmanship is impeccable. Your video and editing talents are also not to be overlooked. All around, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
As always, art and metalworking combined for a stunning outcome. It is always a joy to watch your work and the results. Thanks so much for another wonderful video and greetings from Germany.
@@torbjornahmanand that extends to The Netherlands, too second that. After a hard day work its therapeutic to see a job done in one go! Thank you very much Torbjornahman. (at 8:10, burning fingers? nice you left it in the video, only the confident do that)
Ett underbart arbete som vanligt! Det är denna typ av inspiration som gör att jag äntligen startade upp min ässja efter ett på tok för långt sommar uppehåll. Tack !
Beautiful work and beautiful finish, when you see it, you know who made it, not only because of the logo on the blade, but also because of the entire finish of the piece, a true handicraft. Thank you very much for sharing your videos, I send you a hug from the south of Argentina.
You're my favorite blacksmith on YT, you don't just make knives that look cool, you actually make useful implements and purely decorative items that would be the bread and butter of any functional smithy, IMO. I want one of these as a Xmas present for my mom.
I love your work every time, Artwork and to view the process amazing. The Wooden Handle, absolutely beautiful, along with finish and polish. LOTS of LOVE to Torborn Blacksmithing. :)
The eye for aesthetics & improvisation is a rare combinstion in an artist like you who will surely inspire the next generation to love metal, fire, wood & the philosophy of minimalism. I love blacksmithy. I would request you to incorporate an edge of an axe & the head of a hammer at the tip of this grand symphony. God bless you with all that is good & the title of a great grandfather for many generations🙏❤️
You are an equally great filmmaker as you're a craftsman. The way you present your work is a perfect mix of art, entertainment, documentation and instructions. The process always super clean, the result super sexy.
Absolutely love this video! My husband sent me this video because he knows how much I love my hori hori knife and watching fabrication videos. Your handle is GORGEOUS. Well done :)
Very nice job as usual. Also great to see you recycling some old metal. I used old springs for most of my projects. Worth making friends with the local scrap metal yard. They put aside Wrought Iron for me when it comes in in workable sizes. The difference under the hammer is quite astounding. It works really easily and I have done a few replica old style stuff like hinges, door knocks and a fancy hanger rail.
Merci Torbjörn pour cette exécution magistrale d'un grand maître de la forge, du travail du bois, de la réalisation cinématographique qui allie l'intelligence, la beauté du geste par sa maîtrise totale, celle de l'objet, l'utilité réelle de ce dernier et la transmission d'un savoir faire ancestral et traditionnel qui s'appuie sur la recherche de la perfection et de l'harmonie en toutes choses ! Un apaisement pour l'âme et un ravissement pour l'Esprit que j'attends avec impatience au fil des mois et que je ne manquerais pour rien au monde. Exceptionnel à ce jour sur RUclips ! 👍
A good hori hori knife is a must for anyone that enjoys gardening. This one is a genuine specimen, though, I’ve always found putting a good edge to be futile on mine the second I plunge it into the dirt.
The soldier and boy scout in me really appreciates the elegance of this beautifully crafted tool. That handle is really giving it a next level of craftsmanship. Great stuff. 🙂🫡
Beautiful as always! You've got to do something next that really challenges you (not sure what that would be!) - you always make projects look so easy!
I use a hori hori for gardening (nothing as fancy - the plainest version made by Nisaku). It's remarkable how versatile of a tool this is (keeping my planters in good shape is a breeze now), and yes, as others mentioned, a good sheath is a must.
With age I concluded Irony was possibly one of the most crucial factors of life. This kind of metalwork has a ton of irony to it! Firstly it is without doubt the best medium to be creative with, the strength and longevity on its own being superior! However the amount of resources it would take to setup and forge these items really does have an ironic impact! Which( you are relatively free of.. lol
There is something graceful about your work. There is no fast forward, only rewind! Thank you.
:) Thank you!
@@torbjornahmanhi, can you advice what is your hammer type ?
@@backupviber6285 You have to be more specific? Not sure what you refer to.
@@torbjornahman ahhhh yes, what is your large automatic forging hummer type ?
@@backupviber6285 It's an old german made Beche hammer. 75kg ram.

Oh, if you intend to use this, you will really want a belt sheath.
Yeah this is a beauty... but to any gardeners out there, a really simple cheap version does the trick as well! Love these tools.
Every single time I watch this man work, I am blown away by the utter mastery of the art. Your work is an inspiration.
Nice practical project, just in time for the snow.
Great garlic planter
don't eat shit
Use it to make ice holes to go ice fishing 😮
What’s a snow?
Great for checking snow depth on the windshield! ;-)
With great respect,I like your professional way for taking care to all details,without talking,thank you!
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I particularly love how close you forge to the finished product, whereas other smiths often just forge a square billet and cut and grind to the final shape. Verry cool to see, and awesome end result too!
Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing another tool make. Always amazing to watch you working.
My wife has one of those she bought at a store!!! It is no where near the quality of workmanship of yours!!! Awesome work!!!!

Good work!
Ah! It's made my day watching this lovely project Torbjörn! A thing of beauty, crafted beautifully :D
The chuckle when he realizes he lined up the glue on the handle with the holes lol. 15:47
😎
Gardening was not the first thought I had when I saw this tool. My first instinct was "Every infantryman needs one of these!".
I would have found it incredibly useful
You’ve just unlocked a whole new level to the phrase “Warrior in a Garden” 😂
Thank you ThunderBear. You never disappoint. Greatest Love to You and yours
So delighted to see actual forging. When you hammered in the shoulders it was refreshing.
To many people now think that grinding a piece of metal then heating and quenching it is forging.
his work is amazing
Nobody thinks that is forging, but everyone knows it's a very practical and quick way to make a tool.
@ I’ve seen many videos of “I forged a ….” And that’s exactly what they did. So I’m afraid there are people that believe it’s forging.
@@mclovinirish yes I've seen a coulpe of those its not shaping the metal with a hammer its shaping with a grinder which is ok just not forging .
Beautiful piece, love the selection of wood for the handle.
Very well done sir. Your talents are inspiring and your craftsmanship is impeccable. Your video and editing talents are also not to be overlooked. All around, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you very much!
well said i agree
As always, art and metalworking combined for a stunning outcome. It is always a joy to watch your work and the results. Thanks so much for another wonderful video and greetings from Germany.
Again, thank you!!

Nice garden tool and execution to the fabrication. I had never heard of Hori Hori either, but it sure looks efficient. Thanks.
Thanks for making my day!
Always a pleasure to watch your craftsmanship.
Every single video I've seen from you is just amazing. Watching them is better than meditation. Thanks for sharing your work.
Wow, thank you very much!

Duuuude! Now you made me crave for a knife i did not even know existed! Nicely done!

Pretty amazing tool. I like it and like all other things you have made on this channel. Best content and thanks so much for everything.
Perfect timing! I just used one of these for the first time yesterday. Going to have to buy one now, it was really handy!
Another Awesome Job Mr. T!

Thank you!
Great job on a beautiful and functional tool. I enjoyed watching hing your skills both metalsmithing and woodworking. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, so much work for a simple gardening tool. But it's like allways a stunning tool ! Thanks for sharing !
Your skill in moving from inches to centimeters is awesome... Just kidding, all of this presentation is awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
Como siempre, un trabajo excelente y muy útil. La verdad es que no conocía esa herramienta de jardinería. Enhorabuena!!!😊😊😊
Ok, now I know what im gonna make for my dad! A perfect took for him when he is doing gardening ❤
Sounds perfect! Good luck.
This might be my favorite project of yours yet. Love it.
Wow, thanks!

Excellent love the craftsmanship and devotion you show in your craft well done
Another beautiful work of art Torbjörn. Thanks for a great video.
It was really cool to hear the change in the metal happening while going from red got to "cool" :)
I owe my wife one of these as soon as I finish two knives I have in process. This is an awesome tutorial.
Right on! Thanks!
your channel are amazing, I'm following for Years.
Absolutely love this video! My husband sent me this video because he knows how much I love my hori hori knife and watching fabrication videos. Your handle is GORGEOUS. Well done :)

Torbjörn, your work is pure artistry.
Great workmanship no talking no music all the details I need to see consider me subscribed ❤
Awesome, thank you!
Great job. You are hardworking, meticulous and creative.
Absolutely stunning my friend, well done! Love the look of it, it's practical, and gave you a few minutes to rake some leaves.
Thank you!
Gorgeous work - and very satisfying to watch!
Beautiful workmanship !! Well done !
good job. love how you evenly spaced the teeth of the saw and they're all the same size, too!
this is a tool I very much like, practical and looks like it would be quite versatile.
Probably my favorite piece you've made.
Som alltid, utmärkt arbete, grattis, vi följer alltid dina videor från Argentina, hälsningar
This es really a deluxe tool...simply fantastic the creator bless you be well and good health
That first couple minutes of applying Danish oil is the most beautiful finish in the world
Beautiful! You make it look so easy.
Nice. I use a similar tool for metal detecting. It’s great for cutting through thick grass and small tree roots. But yours looks way better.
Awesome job as always, Thanks Torbjorn
Hands down the best shovel ever. That is so cool.
Great to watch a real master at work! Fascinating!👍👍
Thanks 👍

Very beautiful tool and you did an amazing job making it
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Elegant and cool as always :)
Wonderfully crafted!
I love the lil slices of life you throw in, your property is so pretty
Leave it to Torbjorn to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary beautiful. Another literal masterpiece. ❤️
Всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Многому учусь, многое знаю. Вы Мастер с большой буквы!!! Удачи Вам и всех благ.
Precise and exceptional as usual.
That’s a survival shovel! Oh yeah! Beautiful work! ❤
Great work as usual.
Praktyczny projekt, wspaniałe, perfekcyjne wykonanie. Gratulacje.
That is one of my favorite things I've ever seen forged!
Cool, thanks!
A good hori hori knife is a must for anyone that enjoys gardening. This one is a genuine specimen, though, I’ve always found putting a good edge to be futile on mine the second I plunge it into the dirt.
Beautiful & functional work of art!!!
Thunder Bear NEVER fails to impress!!
*Blush* Thanks!
As always, beautiful work!
Smith Torbjlörn, that is lovely & practical tool.! Congrats from Barcelona 🌿🙏🧜♂️ & thank you.!
The soldier and boy scout in me really appreciates the elegance of this beautifully crafted tool. That handle is really giving it a next level of craftsmanship. Great stuff. 🙂🫡
Oh, I didn't know about that tool. Nice!
Beautiful as always! You've got to do something next that really challenges you (not sure what that would be!) - you always make projects look so easy!
Turned out beautiful!
Sharp looking gardening tool, very useful tool to have.
looks beautiful! I NEED ONE!!!
I use a hori hori for gardening (nothing as fancy - the plainest version made by Nisaku). It's remarkable how versatile of a tool this is (keeping my planters in good shape is a breeze now), and yes, as others mentioned, a good sheath is a must.
I always enjoy your projects
Very nice, I have never seen this tool before.
Wow, that is an incredible build. I wish I had one.
Nice one, Torbjörn. Funnily enough, i do tend to binge watch your videos every third month or so
my daughter gave me one for my birthday, i love it. i sent her your video, i bet she'll enjoy it!
Thanks!
Es ist immer ein Genuss einem guten Handwerker zuzusehen. Hervorragende Arbeit.
the precision on making that handle so even, it's really art.
Love the serrations. Fantastic looking piece.
