Thank you! I agree I really like the plain look with no twist, but I also see why people like the twist. I definitely want to try and twist it in the future, but thanks for sharing your opinion! I appreciate it!

@@NolansKnives If you do ever try the twist I recommend doing a fourths twist, you beat the spike, twist it ninety degrees, then put it back in the forge, you repeat this process until you've twisted the spike 360 degrees, or at least that's how I like to do it. It gives a really even twist that looks nice and clean.

O cabo torcido proporciona uma empunhadura mais segura ,caso suas mãos estejam escorregadias. Mas não há problema se você não quiser torce-lo. Ela ainda continuará sendo uma faca. Muito bem,Nolan.

Nice! I've made a few myself. The steel, however, is impossible to harden due to the low carbon content. Great for decoration or novelties.

I clicked on the comments section with this very question in mind - thank you. Is the same true of the steel used to make horseshoes, by the way?
@joescopo8933
Ай бұрын
Yes, steel used to make the majority of horseshoes is A-36 mild steel. It has low carbon content. But, you can still make a knife as a decoration or use the horseshoe as the handle and use a high carbon steel for the blade. I made a few RR spike knives where I used the spike itself as a handle and welded a piece of 1095 high carbon to it as the blade. Turned out great! I also took a piece of steel cable and forged it into damascus, then shaped it to look like a RR spike knife. It also turned out great. I believe the cable I used is also made of 1095 hc steel. It was an old piece of cable from a gantry crane.

@@joescopo8933 Thanks for giving me such a comprehensive answer. I once found a piece of nice hard steel - in fact it was a drive shaft in s dot matrix printer. I forged it into a dagger - though I was trying to make a spear- head - and successfully hardened it. I don't think I knew about tempering yet so it must be very brittle!

Oh no! What did you use to forge on? that can sometimes make a difference, or if you had your torch out in the open or in closed to keep in the heat in. Sorry you had a bad experience! With just a couple more tools you could definitely get it to work and have bunches of fun!

@@NolansKnives - No I was just joking.... I know that wouldn't work, or it might work but it would take 4 little propane tanks and a LOT of hammering w/ such a lightweight hammer. I was thinking about trying it but I'd want to get an induction element so I didn't waste a bunch of time, effort and money on gas tanks... I'm sure I can get a small anvil and a decent hammer from Harbor Freight but the Induction Element would be an online purchase but I have yet to look for one. Any suggestion on tools and how I could make a small torch work, like maybe a few of those heat bricks and maybe a different torch fuel¿? Thanks for the help and the comment... 😁👍

@@xpndblhero5170 Probably the cheapest yet best working anvil you could get would be the 55lb cast iron anvil from harbor freight. It’s definitely not the best but I used it for 2 years and just recently upgraded, so it 100% will get the job done! But as far as torches go it will definitely be hard to get your metal super hot with them. I think your best option would be to get a low budget forge or induction heater like you said. As far as hammers go the heavier the hammer is the easier you’ll be able to move metal, but it will also be harder to swing. So the hammer you pick doesn’t matter all to much in the beginning as long as your comfortable with it. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! I will try and answer them as best as I can!
