  • 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.

    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.

    Would it be ok to put the blade in the acid, before putting on the handle?

    • @zeemanknives
      @zeemanknives  Год назад

      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

      Both forging and stock removal have their places in knifemaking. Both with pro's and con's.

    How much does that clay cost?

    • @zeemanknives
      @zeemanknives  3 года назад

      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.

    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.
