Knife Smithing

Hey guys, Early in February I returned to Rutherford Forge to make my second knife. A simple Bowie. I tried to include most of the important steps in this video. I had to think hard about what to include as I have well over 3 hours of footage to go through. I decided to split the video into two parts so that it's not too much to sit through all at once. I also time-lapsed some of the steps to shorten the overall length. Hope you guys enjoy it. Intro Music: Heavy - Artist unknown. Outro Music: Surfing Llama - Bird Creek.

It's been a while coming but here is Part Two of the Knife Making weekend. Here we do the final finishing touches on the blades and handles and also handcraft the sheaths. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Hey guys, I slapped this together to take you through the latest knife I've made. A modern take on the Traditional Kukhri, as used by the Gurkha's of Nepal. These two, are more of a utility variant. My mate also managed to forge out a fairly large Roman Style Kitchen knife from a sliver that would've otherwise been chucked in the scrap pile. All in all a very rewarding weekend of honest hard work at Rutherford Forge. Hope you guys enjoy it.
