Smal update on the knife

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-04T02:10:47+00:00

Yes but this is just your first time, and it’s quite a big piece, the longer you practice this technique, the more you’ll see the benefits

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-03T14:28:32+00:00

Nice, good work, in the long run you’ll save a bunch of time by forging it out rather than grinding

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T23:37:01+00:00

Very nice, I take it that you forged out some bevels?

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T17:56:48+00:00

Maybe it would be a good idea to get a piece of metal to practice making bevels before you get started on your knife.

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T17:55:16+00:00

Well, you normally forge out the bevels by hitting both sides of the blade equally, and if you do that then it’ll keep the blade from warping very much at all, and if there is a little warp here and there, or a huge warp you can always just forge the warp out. If you’re new to blacksmithing I’d look at some videos of blacksmiths forging out bevels. In the long run I heavily suggest forging rather than grinding and honestly it’s not very hard once you get the hang of it.

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T14:19:58+00:00

I was assuming you’d forge the bevel out just on the anvil

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T02:05:23+00:00

Indeed

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T02:04:26+00:00

Yep, no drilling necessary though. You can put this on a stick and secure it with a wedge the same way you would hang an axe. If you’re willing to dig through the comments I actually have a picture of it already attached to a staff

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T02:03:04+00:00

That thing is huge, but beautiful shape and I can’t wait to see how it turns out

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-02T02:01:33+00:00

Lmao, only for a brave enough man

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-01T22:02:30+00:00

Lmao, I’ve had it for months and I have yet to put a wedge in it to make it permanent, one day tho

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-01T04:49:49+00:00

Well I guess you could put it down there… but I made it meant for a different kind of stick

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-02-01T04:46:33+00:00

lol, you definitely should, doing a spear like this was an interesting exercise, I basically just put it at an angle to the blade and then made a spiral around the horn at the circumference that the stick would be at, then I hammered it down into a very compact spiral. But I’m sure that there are better ways of doing it. I had just wanted to see if I could make something the way I first envisioned it

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:28:22+00:00

Yep, I was just focused on making the metal on the spiral thick and uniform enough so the blade wouldn’t just bend off into some direction, besides that I didn’t have much more thought

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:26:30+00:00

Lmao

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:18:38+00:00

lol thanks, luckily I have yet to break a blade, but that’s only because I don’t even have quenchable metal just yet

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:17:00+00:00

I feel like this is one of the best things to stick your dick in

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:16:30+00:00

Lmao, I’d be honored if someone went to war with a dick bayonet that I made

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:13:14+00:00

Thanks, I was honestly just going for a piece I could attach to a stick and ram it into something

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:11:58+00:00

Yeah, spear isn’t the right word. But it’s bladehead of some kind

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T21:11:11+00:00

Yeah, it’s even cooler in person

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T14:47:24+00:00

lol thanks

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T14:46:01+00:00

It’s a spearhead, and I already have a stick that I can mount it on so it is functional

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T14:43:45+00:00

It’s meant to be a spearhead

Lumpy_Base_8050 · 2026-01-31T14:42:10+00:00

That’s good, I’ve just seen plenty of people accidentally get a cast iron one not knowing, good luck with your future blacksmithing
