    Default Video on oldschool Sheffield Blade Forging

    Hey all, thought I'd share. Feel free to move it if you think it belongs somewhere else. It's not razors, but still a cool old video of one of the last production blacksmiths in Sheffield. Check out especially how he does his tempering after quenching towards the end of the video.

    That was cool. He wields that hammer like its a part of him every strike has meaning and purpose.
    Thanks!
