Forged in fire - Buzzard - Hydra Knives Media
Published: 5 years ago
The first buzzard prototype was made by the knotty hands of a farrier. He is one of our closest friends and the one of the most experience farriers in Europe.
He learnt to be a farrier in Germany. When he was 18 he decided he wanted to know more about this job, so he packed it all up and travelled to Germany where he stood for more than 5 years learning how to shoe a horse. Right now, he is both respected and known on Europe as one of the few experts on the field.
In one of his many lessons, he learnt how to forge a blade from scratches, when we showed him the first buzzard prototype, a piece of steel with the overall shape; he knew what he had to do. He took his oven, hammer and anvil and started forging the first buzzard.
That is how the first Buzzard was born, from hammering and forged by fire. As you can see the first Buzzard was curve! Buzzard final grinding and sharpening was made by machinery.
