Who forges their own knives?
Hey guys, last night I attempted to forge my first knife. I was using an acetylene torch and a hammer and anvil that comes on the back of a Vise. Didn’t have any grinding belts so I had to forge down close to size, this let me just put on a primary edge and still cut very well. Quenched and heat treated to 425 for 2 - 1hr cycles. Not brittle or too soft.
Now for handles.
Here’s where I’m currently at. Handle was wrapped for some comfort in he cut tests. It is drilled for 3/16” pins.
Let me know if it’s decent for the first kick at the can. Always much to learn.
