New Video

[Silverthorn K&T]

Hi folks, I just started forging cleavers this past weekend and I made a short video of the process. It was HOT here in North Carolina when I did this but it was a great time.

I hope you all enjoy,

Awesome man, do you have a video of the finishing, or maybe a shot of the final product?

Not yet. This was just this past weekend and work has gotten all up in my knifemaking for the moment. I hope to have them finished by the end of the month.

Just one question. Why "insert" a hard steel edge? I have seen most things like this where they forge out flat, and fold it over the hard core.

Just a question. Great work.

Thanks, Larry!

This is the way I make nakiri bocho and it's easier for me to chisel instead of fold (and I really enjoy using that treadle hammer!)
