FS1 Rough Forging Media
Published: 7 years ago
Follow Murray as he demonstrates how our FS1 knives are forged from a billet of 6mm laminated steel. Some points to pay attention to:
1. Don't overheat the steel (never brighter than bright orange)
2. Be careful that steel on the edges doesn't fold over onto itself
3. Forge the tang, then blade, then final forge the tang at low temperature, anneal the tang, final forge the blade at low temperature, then anneal the blade
4. Remove scale from the billet, then cold forge
5. Scribe, cut out, straighten, coat in clay, then quench in water
6. Repeat hundreds of times until successful
