Blacksmithing - Forging a Drawknife

Hallo! Спасибо, благодаря вам я узнал технологию ковки сварных топоров

är det en svetshandske du har på dig?

Nils, very nice work. Glad to see you feeling better and back at the anvil. I hope to have one of your iron/steel axes one day.

Pretty sweet!, I really enjoy your videos

Very good tutorial. I like it.

Nice video bro, thank's Odín Nils is back to forge again 😄✨, I have learned a lot with your videos, Keep going!

riktigt bra jobb Nils! Det är en fantastisk dragkniv och handtagen är fantastiska för det.
Jag älskar det här och kan behöva. Tack Nils för din video...

Good job on the draw knife, it looks really great. Enjoyed the video, liked the commentary about the project, it’s a real help when you explain your thoughts about how it turned out etc. Looking forward to more of your fantastic videos, Regards from Down Under.

Very nice. Any plans to put some on the web store?

snyggt jobbat, har precis börja smida och detta va en grym film på hur man kan gå tillväga :) vart i detta land håller du hus ? :)

Very nice! I liked the use of the drill for finishing the handles

what is it with every smith and their mother forging a draw knife lately?!
i also made one a week ago.
did we all get a telepathic message to make one? 🤣

Sir, that is a thing of beauty!

Hey there he is been missing you videos

As always - EXCELLENT!

Really nice job mate, a mate and I have been taking about forging one of these for a while!

Very well done. More towards traditional ways. Love it

Enjoyed the video. Really nice work, always impressed with forgeing tools. Keep em comeing.

Great video sir. Draw knives can be very handy in any shop.

Skulle vilja testa att göra en likadan själv. Enda problemet jag har är att varje gång jag försöker smida verktygsstål (och fjäderstål) så blir det bara en massa sprickor i det. Hur gör du för att förebygga det? För när jag värmer upp stålet så blir det samma färg som i din video, så tror inte att jag värmer för lite. Skulle uppskattas om man kunde få några tips=). Men utöver det, grym video! Keep it up.

So I seem to be missing something, why did he forge weld mild steel to it ? I don't see the benefit here, draw knives don't usually need to be very shock resistant. Is it because there was not enough high carbon material to forge out into tangs, for handles ?

Neat build, I like the high carbon/ mild construction technique.

Awesome craftmanship! Keep up the good work!

Cheers Nils! Thank for the shout! Excellent work as usual, but If I may, I have two suggestions for you. Forge a bevel on the ends of the steel before forge welding to make the transition between the iron and steel smoother, and I'd recommend kicking the handles out of line with the edge, usually making the handles come up a bit when the edge is flat. If that makes sense. It'll make the draw knife more manoeuvrable and easier to use for shaping.

Love your videos. We miss you on the ForgeCast. Great to see you doing beautiful work

Snyggt!
Är de ett Söderfors städ du har?

Phosphor bronze plain bearings also make great ferrules. Not too expensive if you buy several at the same time. Nice Work Fella !

Ausome work great tool you made

Beeindruckend.

Verkaufe es nicht unter 350 Bucks.
Das ist es wert.

Ügyes

Enjoying the catch up on your video's Ive always enjoyed using a draw knife. I first picked one up when I was 16 and that was to hang an axe. Ive always had one since then. I want to make some different styles and see how I go with them
thanks for sharing
