    For those still wondering, the reason why drill bits make such good knives is that they are not pure steel,but alloyed with vanadium and manganese, making them far more resilient. You will rarely find knives made with this alloy though, as it's harder to come by and real tough to work with.

      @dalehood1846 4 개월 전 +21

      Spring steel is also another very good grade of steel. Shops that do spring work on older cars and trucks wiil sometimes even give away older broken springs. They usually break due to overloading, so the steel is still good. I worked in machine shops and the makeup of steel and hardness is extremely good. Flexible until you heat it, however, hardening the hot metal in oil will help. Water cooling/hardening will make the metal too brittle. Wear eye protection and stay safe. Good fabricating. If done right, it will be a knife you will depend on for many years. All the best and may God bless.

      There are plenty of knife makers using great steels. Look up powder metallurgy knife steels to see how they make them even tougher!
      Though the tool steels in drill bits are also a great budget alternative if you don't have the powder...

      Yeah, I used to be really lax about safety glasses, sometimes I wore them, sometimes not. Then on one of the times I was wearing them I had a grinding wheel on an angle grinder blow up. A big chunk left a bloody grove up my left cheek and across the glasses. If I hadn't had them on I would have lost my left eye. I'm not lax anymore about wearing them. :-)

    I love to watch guys that can work with steel. Knew an ol' boy several years ago who could do it. Give him the heat and give him a grinder, and he was impressive. He was an incredible welder/fabricator as well. Any kind of steel or aluminum, was no problem for him.

    I agree with the others here. Safety glasses will save your eyesight. I use to work in a machine shop and my eyesight was saved from hot flying shards of metal at least twice. One time, the metal hit my glasses so hard that my safety glasses went flying off my face but I escaped without injury.

    In case anyone else was curious about the white powder he's putting on the red-hot metal, its called "Flux":
    "The white powder that blacksmiths often use on red-hot metal is called flux. Flux is a chemical compound that helps remove impurities, such as oxides, from the surface of the metal during the heating and forging process. It typically comes in powdered form and is applied to the metal while it is hot.
    When the flux is sprinkled onto the hot metal, it melts and forms a protective layer. This layer serves several purposes. Firstly, it helps to prevent further oxidation of the metal, which can occur when the hot metal comes into contact with oxygen in the air. Secondly, the flux acts as a cleaning agent, removing existing oxides and other contaminants from the metal's surface. Finally, the flux can also improve the flow of molten metal during welding or brazing processes.
    There are different types of flux available, and the specific composition may vary depending on the application and the metal being worked on. Borax is a commonly used flux in blacksmithing, but other compounds like powdered glass or specialized commercial fluxes can also be used. It's important for blacksmiths to select the appropriate flux for their specific needs and to follow proper safety precautions when working with hot metal."

    Nice Knife! I would have been interested in how he dealt with the delams we see when he first puts the billet on the anvil. By the time he is cutting it up to stack they seem to be gone. Trips back and forth to the forge are gone too, the only sign is the color changes in the billet, but that's ok. Watching some videos you would swear some folks never had a delam in their life. Nice to see a smith have issues and how they dealt with them.

      I was cutting angle iron on the chop saw in the shop one day, wearing glasses as always, and a hot piece of steel shot off the back of the saw blade, and bounced off the wall behind the chop saw with the perfect trajectory required to drop right in over my glasses (which were not completely snug to my face), landing directly in my left eye just on the edge of the iris.
      Fortunately, this crazy path the metal took meant it wasn't flying as fast (nor was it as hot) as it could have been, so it went no deeper than the outer cornea. Cue an immediate trip to urgent care to get the metal drilled out of my eye (which is a shitty experience, if you don't mind me saying so), followed by days of prescription eyedrops, pain and discomfort.
      Moral of the story: wear your $%&!ing safety glasses! Preferably ones that sit tight to the face.

I would think they would maybe tweezer it out or something.
      Yeah its an odd video in that the guy is really talented it would seem but in diametric opposite irony he is portraying the most ludicrous foolish actions in not wearing the safety glasses. I am wondering if maybe he wants to have his face clear for the camera in his u utube video.
