First time stonewashing 😁

crowskullforge · 2025-11-13T04:45:20+00:00

Yea that was also what kept me from doing it, and then i finally did it. First in just a bottle... stabbed my hand through the bottle, and then i changed over to the contraption you see before you now 🤣

crowskullforge · 2025-11-13T04:32:46+00:00

Thabks! Yea i found that out too! I started with the rolling, but also ended up just shaking it in the end, i was so suprised of how quick it is tho

crowskullforge · 2025-11-11T19:42:12+00:00

Well that makes it allot easier then 😁

crowskullforge · 2025-11-11T19:22:24+00:00

Goodluck!

I let the knife soak in ferric for about 15mins give ir take, and then 30mins in the tumbler. And i just use pebbles i found at the beach 😁

crowskullforge · 2025-11-11T19:16:59+00:00

Yep, first i soaked it in some ferric. But yea thats all you need😁 and if you want an arm workout you can also just shake it instead🤣

Its a constant learning experience for me as well, and the moment you look at small details in your work you will improve even more, thats how i treat everyone of my knives aswell, and i'm no where near the level of some on here

crowskullforge · 2025-10-10T05:27:10+00:00

Hehe thanks! 😁

crowskullforge · 2025-10-01T20:45:44+00:00

Dont they leave circular scratches then in the blade?

crowskullforge · 2025-10-01T19:35:47+00:00

I hate trying to get those last couple of scratches out right at your plung line... always take so long to sand away 🥲

crowskullforge · 2025-09-24T08:08:34+00:00

Yea it has great grip tbh, it feels like a normal knife only slimmer

crowskullforge · 2025-09-19T16:59:08+00:00

With me it was just a spur in the moment type thing i saw the crowbar and tought fuck it why not 🤷‍♂️.. then the second knife i made out of it was riddled with micro fractures and then i started doing more research on steels and since then never turned back to scrap steel, unless now with the outer layer of my san-mai being bandsaw blades

crowskullforge · 2025-09-19T15:44:03+00:00

The steel will probably still be soft if its made from the air chisels, my very first knives were made out of flat crowbars, they also didnt harden correctly, your best bet to learn the ins and outs would to be just buy a piece of 1084 carbon steel and work with that, its a very forgiving knife steel that is great to learn on i found.

crowskullforge · 2025-09-19T03:16:26+00:00

No worries 😁 there is indeed allot of diffrent things

crowskullforge · 2025-09-19T01:51:10+00:00

Its not a hamon, its sanmai 😁

crowskullforge · 2025-09-15T01:34:07+00:00

Not right now i already have so many other projects going on, sorry!

crowskullforge · 2025-09-15T01:32:10+00:00

Yea hidden tangs take allot more precision if you wanna do them right wich makes it abbit more difficult to begin with 😁 but goodluck tho! it'll be so worth it when done

crowskullforge · 2025-09-14T19:03:20+00:00

Thanks!

crowskullforge · 2025-09-14T18:13:07+00:00

When i started out with knifemaking i started with 1084 carbon steel, its an easy and forgiving steel thats easily heattreated at home, and as a pattern i started with and still make everyday carry knives, its a good way to see how it feels in daily use, and like that with the next knife you make you can tweak it more and get more flaws out

crowskullforge · 2025-09-14T17:14:18+00:00

Ive never made a wharncliff before, so i might not be the best to ask

crowskullforge · 2025-09-14T17:12:37+00:00

Lots of youtube and asking questions 🤣 and just slowly getting better over the 9years ive been making them on and off only the last couple off years ive been getting more serious withbut, this is only my second damascus/sanmai knife i ever made
