Beginner Knife Making 101- How to Make a Knife With Only Hand Tools

Watch Sam teach me how to make a knife from reclaimed materials, using only hand tools and a primitive forge. This video showcases just how accessible it is to make a knife at home with minimal equipment. This is the ultimate beginner guide for minimalist blacksmithing at home. This is part one of a two-part video series. In this video, we start by forging the actual tools we need to forge the knife itself. Sam is an expert blade smith and specializes in using minimalist hand tools to create machine-grade quality finished tools. This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. You get to witness me, a complete beginner, learning and successfully making a knife out of reclaimed metal. And if I can do it, then I definitely know you can.
