Tutorial Video: Fixed Blade - Stock Removal Method (Vid 1 & 2)

[Michael Norman]

Author's Title: Knife Make Tutorial 1 and 2

This is a tutorial on how to make a real knife by using the stock removal method which is easier and requires fewer tools and less skill. Great for beginners. I will be using the forge to harden and temper this blade but there are alternatives.
In this half of the tutorial I show you how to make the template, cut out the profile of the knife blade, drill the holes for the handle and file the bevels for the sharp edge of the knife.

Lots of blacksmithing stuff on my website at:
