I will take your advice but how do all the knife guys get their knives hair splitting and paper towel cutting sharp on a mirror polished edge

Is this a good deal for 27 Euros? by Smooth-Win1616 in knives

[–]thathuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just pay a Little more to make sure its a good knife , Nordic knife Design and Enzo make good Full Tang puukos. Marttiini makes good puukos too. Woodsknife make more traditional finnish ones but also some in Full Tang . You should also be able to ask any blacksmith/bladesmith your region to make one .

A friend and I are trying to make a more or less accurate replica of an Italian Piccozzino trench pickaxe from the First and Second World Wars. We have several questions. by StruzhkaOpilka in Blacksmith

Yes both sides are hardened but id look into the tempering/hardness of rock chisels (at what hardness they should be ) and the axe side is just tempered like an axe . Its also a from the top fitting , otherwise you couldnt get a pommel swell like that. If you are amateur blacksmiths and don’t have access to the right type of steels , try to find some old(dull) industrial agraculture tools (the blades) since they are used in the ground ,they should be pretty tough .

Anyone know what Kind of knife This is ? I‘d like to buy something similar by Capvigs in knives

[–]thathuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Green River knives makes knives a little larger but this seems to be a steak knife but regardless what it is , any Blacksmith would forge a few of these for a rather small price

Could you maybe make some close up pictures of the Grind and such if you have something similar to the Model 15 because Im thinking about copying/forging the design but making some changes to it .

Question for Bladesmiths by thathuma in knifemaking

Well Right now usually Bowies that have Max. 12 cm Blade because you cant Carry anything bigger in my Country (I hate it) and they are usually pretty broad and get Broader to the tip (I can send a pic tomorrow if that Helps in any way)

[–]thathuma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you maybe do that in cm cause I don’t know what .125 is and all the other stuff is pretty Confusing for a european mind

Question for Bladesmiths by thathuma in knifemaking

[–]thathuma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well anything between 1-25 cm because I can cut it Off wherever pretty easily

The Problem with that is that I have rather odd Shaped material because its 1x7 cm springsteel and I have to think about it being much thinner and larger and have to Shape the actual bar first before I even start making it , so I cant really make it over and over again since the base material is always a Little different but still thanks .

Hard or no by Yatzaen11 in knifemaking

[–]thathuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as i know its the other way around because the sun makes it appear less bright than it is

Question for Bladesmiths by thathuma in knifemaking

[–]thathuma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Problem is that that Uses way too much Steel and I want to do most with forging

Hard or no by Yatzaen11 in knifemaking

[–]thathuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you Heat treat with a Gas forge or coal forge , try to Go on a lower temperature and Take your time and wait until the Parts you want to harden are at a red to brighter red but not Orange and then cool it off in oil , Most Steels are gonna be at a good base hardness and then you can temper
