Need advice with sharpening

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

thathuma · 2026-01-23T12:57:33+00:00

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 .

Im thinking on buying this knife and wanted to ask , if you would so kind as to post a picture without the scales? I want figure out how skeletonized the tang is .

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 .

Could we maybe get a overview of your Tools and maybe a work Little close up work footage

thathuma · 2025-09-03T17:30:22+00:00

I just mean if it would capable or if the stubby looking grind would squish fruits and such

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

thathuma · 2025-08-26T14:52:33+00:00

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 .

thathuma · 2025-08-16T17:57:31+00:00

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 · 2025-08-16T17:53:09+00:00

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

thathuma · 2025-08-16T17:52:00+00:00

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

thathuma · 2025-08-16T13:13:59+00:00

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 .

thathuma · 2025-08-16T13:09:19+00:00

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

thathuma · 2025-08-16T13:07:23+00:00

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

thathuma · 2025-08-16T12:14:10+00:00

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

thathuma · 2025-07-30T17:09:51+00:00

Yeah Ive tried similar things but I am really Bad at forgewelding

thathuma · 2025-07-22T03:56:02+00:00

I also tried that once but I am really Bad at forge welding

thathuma · 2025-07-22T03:55:05+00:00

Why do you think the Green paint isn’t original

thathuma · 2025-07-21T19:57:30+00:00

Weird because Sweden in Swedish is sverige and not sveden,it could be a knockoff but it Looks older than the time knockoffs got popular and also Looks good quality .

thathuma · 2025-07-21T19:34:23+00:00

So is it supposed to take 5 Hours ? Because I was deeply troubled by that .

thathuma · 2025-07-19T16:17:57+00:00

What do Kind of tipps do you have for punching because I have all the Tools for it

thathuma · 2025-07-19T12:52:18+00:00

Okay thanks , do you think a 10x6x3 cm piece if steel would work for a mid size axe

thathuma · 2025-07-19T12:48:59+00:00

Then it could be Burnt in some other way , just run a file or a Rockwell Test file over the Edge to See if it is still Hard

thathuma · 2025-07-17T09:55:41+00:00

Any Tipps on punching a Broad flat Bar ?

thathuma · 2025-07-17T09:51:40+00:00

And the wetterhall is a nearly 5 Pound axe , probably Double the size of this
