I've really taking a liking to forged knives thanks to C crex and Trackrock. Being a journeyman machinist by trade makes me interested in the art of knife forging. I have to find myself a nice anvil soon and make a forge. Just wanted to share this old school forging video with you all to enjoy.

 
Wow, so cool‼️ That sheath, that Puukko. Who is this? I want one of these Maasapan puukko’s
 
Why do I get blamed for everything?
Puukkas are about as simple as it gets, sheaths the hardest part.
You know you're always welcome at my forge my friend. If it's lit, let's hit! If it's not, light it up!
Think I got the last bit of actual forging I will be able to do for the next 2-3 months following the Blade. Right shoulder will be out of commission for a good while. Long term abuse from activities non-forge related gotta be repaired. May need a holder-apprentice so I can work left handed for a while.
