A couple of suggestions: 1-Borax is a flux, not a glue. You can use less and get better results, as there's less risk of getting some trapped in your steel. (Flux lowers the melting point of scale, so it will flow away better.) 2- My blacksmith teacher always made us draw down in the square and then round it afterwards. If you keep hitting it round then you risk creating a void in the centre. (This is how they make seamlessly tubes, or what Americans call DOM.) Hope this helps. Keep up the good work mate!
It's a neat knife and very rustic! .... but I feel like there was so much potential in that shop to do way more. Seems more like a tutorial for the simplest way to make a knife in your garage with almost no tools.
Only seen a couple of his vids. Hear he's supposed to be gd, & I'm not claiming to be some master blacksmith, but let's be real, I'm w/ u on this one: Not particularly impressive. Someone even pointed out the blade already has cracks. If you're gonna post your work, as an expert, setting an example, wherein you eschew basic PPE & exhibit patently unsafe practices, your final product better blow us away, or at least serve to helps us forget the violations we just witnessed lol.
Those tinted glasses are for using an Oxy Acetylene torch not welding, they are several shades lighter than what’s required for arc welding. The no safety glasses thing is a bit dumb but could be a mix of age and cultural differences in the lack of PPE. Also his cable was galvanized cable, he might have tried soaking it in vinegar to remove it but clearly when he was welding the ends the residue showed burning galvanized coating after he welded the ends and that’s toxic crap to breathe
I noticed that also when pulling it out of the fire the greenish white flame. In my metal shop class this year I made the mistake of just heating up galvanized steel and had a similar color flame. Not good to breathe in.
very good job. What type of electrodes do you use for welding? It looks like you don't need to preheat the steel which is what I am having trouble with myself.
@Wemple’s Temple That is a thing to put into concideration for the ones who have to deal with it. But not something to shrug down someones throat in the comments.

If im not mistaken, it would just be a lot more efford, keeping the fire warm with bellows and then hammer your steel with a hammer instead of a machine, hardening would be the same as the forging process. Actually, now that I wrote it it seems to be more or less the same 🤷♂, except for the shaping / sharpening, Id expect that to be done with a stone (or skyrim has made me think that)
I'm amused by the comments, lol!😂 I have done plenty of blacksmith work on a survivalist level deep in the northern u.s. living off grid a hundred miles from anything for twenty years so I know this knife is more work than the keyboard blacksmiths realize. Well done an nice knife 🗡!
@Yer_Br0wn_Dog_8_My_Rabbit If you don't mind me answering I'll try and help you out. The client probably wanted a twisted cable knife, not knowing what a blacksmith can/cannot do with wire or metal. The galvanizing layer is hazardous so that can be burnt off in a well ventilated area, outside away from people and animals, then once that has been done you should take that piece of metal to a grinder and see what color sparks it throws off, if the sparks are and orangeish yellow then you can use that metal to make a blade. Hope this answers your questions.
"Keyboard blacksmiths".. what a great term. I watch this stuff and then learn additional things from intelligent comments whilst dismissing jackasses whose only "contribution" is criticism. My question is, why not start out with a piece of solid steel to begin with? (provided you have it). I scooped up a 2ft length of galvanized cable probably 2" in diameter that the telephone pole guys left behind last week, w/ no real idea of what to do w/ it. I assume the galvanizing dip needs to be subtracted somehow (maybe in the process) before doing something like this, if the quality of the cable is worth bothering with to begin with, correct?
Colega le sugiero utilizar la mascara de soldar con el vidrio de la densidad apropiada. Los lentes que esta utilizando en el video no le dan protección a su vista y el daño es acumulativo.
so youtube might be reading my mind now, i was just thinking this morning that havent seen many videos of people forging stuff and now bam this is on my recommended list.
Así es, por ejemplo cuando soldó no usó máscara y estaba soldando muy de cerca seguramente le habrá quemado,le habrá dolido, le habrá picado cuando terminó
What's the white powder put on Wire being molted into a ROD to make the knife? It looks like a bonding additive. It's knowledge which I am trying to acquire. Marvellous craftsmanship!!!
It is called borax. Its also used as a laundry additive. Mostly "12 Mule Borax" and it forms a layer coating the metal to keep it from forming forge scale giving better cleaner welding surfaces.
What? Hell no with all those delaminated inclusions. Has one running down the cutting esge. And the recasso where the cutting edge meets the handle the steel isnt solid. That is a horrible chunk of steel. Yea if your desperate and need to open an envelope or something similar. Show this video to any decent blacksmith or bladesmith and they will cringe.
@Live Stock I know someone. Life long welder. Doc said it was more than likely from his line of work and from not wearing a full face shield. There's a reason why they make them. Just passing info to hopefully save anyone from going thru it. Cheers!
Interesting work, but you really need lessons in safety. Those glasses are not enough to protect your eyes from the light of welding. I wouldn't be surprised if you have already done permanent harm to your eyes. You need safety glasses when working the wire wheel. One wire gets loose and at those does it could take your eye out before you could even blink. Please be careful. Your work, and you, deserve to be safe.

It’s called flux, and it helps the separate pieces of metal melt together more easily. Not sure what he’s using here, but soda ash is used in pottery, among several other things.

That's a really interesting knife! Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video. Liked and subscribed.
Excelente trabajo, años de experiencia y conocimiento plasmadas en unos minutos!!! Gracias por compartir.
The process of turning a steel cable into a sharp knife is fascinating and interesting!
Bag sasis
It's not gonna matter what the knives look like because before long he won't have eyes to see them with.
Unless he wears a welding mask
Panie kolego super praca i efekty bardzo ci zazdroszczę tej umiejętności ale dbaj o swoje zdrowie i zakładaj okulary ochronne podczas cięcia 😊
I completely agree with your educated statement.
I don't believe that handle will ever break or fall off....That was cool...
Everyone can definitely make a knife, but not everyone can make a durable knife.
This looks like a weapon you'd find in a fantasy game.
Enchanted probably ✨️
1 minute into it and he’s got 2 safety violations, hell yea
Keep counting. Fortunately we have a 'screen' for our own PPE.🤣👍

Que buen trabajo!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Ni siquiera necesitó fabricar empuñadura. El mismo cable quedó como empuñadura. Impecable!
Ich liebe deine Videos, wie kann man nur so eine geniale Arbeit machen....

世界にこれより素晴らしいアイディアは存在しない
Well apparently he has never had to have metal drilled out of a eye yet like I found out the hard way
I love when my knives come with cracks in them already
What is the purpose of the ash he's pouring onto the cable while he's shaping it?
Dude, working a wire wheel without ANY eye protection? Ever hear the old saying: “Two is One, and One is None”?
I've known a welder who hated eye protection and preferred to work without it at all. He is a grown man and that's his personal choice to get a blind.
@Mamuana Chhangte #1 Learn from others and everything.
#2 Learn from experience.
#3 Learn nothing...'know it all'.

Gracias por compartir excelente video y un muy buen trabajo saludos desde San Luis Potosí slp México
Excellent job sir👍🏻😊
that was amazing, I taught that can't be made as knife
I appreciate old school trades and the men that do them, BUT using eye protection and basic safety skill is a must.
0:21 How much dust did that machine have accumulated?
What kind of powder do you spray from time to time?
Do you sell it on e-commerce?

I would like to see a video of anyone making a knife/sword using only the. Methods that was used to make during Roman soldier times
@Carl if you can remember who done it.. please let me know I would like to see it
I have seen a video recently where someone made the steel from ore and then made a blade from that metal. IT was very amazing, work though 😅

This guy should participate on Forge In Fire. I'm pretty sure he could win.
Nah. He does good work I’ll say that but with the lack of PPE and knowledge of steal he’s using he’d end up hurting himself or others.
Very nice job...

Nice creative work. But you might want to use a full face shield when welding. That UV light isn't good for your face/skin.
@Live Stock I know someone. Life long welder. Doc said it was more than likely from his line of work and from not wearing a full face shield. There's a reason why they make them. Just passing info to hopefully save anyone from going thru it. Cheers!
@҉KᴙÏ丂 I've never known or heard of anyone that had face cancer. Eye degradation due to burning retinas - happens all the time.
Who cares about skin. I'd say retinas are more important to protect. Maybe he has dark shade eyelids though...
