- Custom Knife Making: The Forged Bushcraft Chopper
Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be forging a Bushcraft Chopper. I made this knife using a old steering shaft (Mystery Steel) I picked up at a Vehicle repair shop, Brazilian Emboya wood for the handle, bright orange G10 for the liners and stainless steel pins and tubes for the hardware. Feel free to use whatever you have available or prefer. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Tq sir..
Stunning as usual Sir. Very informative. Thank you
Thank you Mr. Harker. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is really good inspiration, thanks
Thank you...I am glad you found some inspiration from the video...that is why I make it. Keep well!
I could almost smell the spicy imbuia
Yes, It had a strong pepper fragrance to it...once of the reasons I love working with wood!
Very nice work. That hamon looks lovely. Rubbing alcohol should work just as well as acetone for clean up but it's not nearly as toxic and nasty.
Thank you for the tip. I'll try rubbing alcohol in the future.
สวยค่ะ

Thank you for watching! Glad you like it!
Would it be ok to put the blade in the acid, before putting on the handle?
You could do that. The reason I don't is because after the handle has been glued and pinned, there are always some sanding / finishing and cleanup left to do afterwards, which will remove your acid stain from the spine of the knife....meaning you'll need to touch it up again with a cotton ear bud soaked in the acid, brushing over the clean sanded spine, without staining the wood. I suppose it is much of a muchness at the end...no wrong method, just whatever give you the best results.
Well done. I hate all the people that have been just cutting the knife out of steel then sanding it...true forging is the only way to make a blade
Finally..i think the same👍👍
spoken like a true moron
Both forging and stock removal have their places in knifemaking. Both with pro's and con's.
How much does that clay cost?
Its quite cheap in South Africa...about 15 South African rand for a tub, which works out to about 1 American Dollar if you convert the currency.
@@zeemanknives I'm South Africa lol,💪🏻😅who sells it?
@@ridhwaanjogiat1708 I buy it at Midas, but most stores that sells automotive parts should stock it.
@@zeemanknives thanks man appreciate it
your knife making skills are superb. But you have to work on your sharpening skills. learn how to handsharpen or get a tormek or something.
Thanks for the feedback. It has improved substantially.
