Any self-respecting hunter has in its Arsenal of hunting knives, with his own hands he made them. Of course, you can go to a specialty store and buy there, but when you do something yourself, putting it out there. Take a "piece of metal" and to grind on the stone – it's not serious.
To make knives with your hands, you need to have a couple of hammers of different mass, pliers with a long handle, the anvil and the horn. As they say experienced blacksmiths, this craft should start with forging… horseshoe. In order to get the hand. Special literature to read does not make sense, as it is written by professionals and for professionals, with which we are not.
Reinforcement is ideal for our horseshoes, which is easy to find at the dump or anywhere else. Yes, and it also great for learning colors metal during forging due to its notches. The main task is to learn to strike while the iron is exactly, precisely, without the aid of a file and needle file. After completing this training, you can move to the main – to make knives in your own hands.
The forging Process is laborious and involves many stages, during which comes something new that captivates and excites. That is why forging – art. Knives with their hands must be made of solid steel, and the best way to fit steel 65G. Where to find it? There is simply nowhere, the steel used in leaf springs of trucks. And from one spring to make a few knives that will be made experiments in the hardening.

You can Now proceed to the immediate forging. You have already decided on an extreme color, which you can forge (reinforcing horseshoes), but it is worth remembering that the steel of this brand when hammering in low temperature cracks, and therefore often better to reheat it. Thus treated about 15 cm in spring and form it into a rectangle. This is followed from a rectangle to forge the plate perpendicular to the spring. Its thickness should be slightly greater than the thickness of the future a knife and a length of 15 cm chopped off with a chisel. In this case, we receive about 10 pieces of blanks for future blades.
So, change big hammer on a small, take tongs billet, heat and proceed to the formation of the contour of the blade. By the way, throwing knives with his own hands can be made of unsuccessful variants, since they are smaller in shape and thickness of the metal. The shape of the can choose different, but for the beginning it is better to take a sample of classic the knife.
After this it is necessary to form the blade itself, this blade is heated and light blows of the hammer is brought to a trapezoidal shape. After that, you need a file or some other way to create slopes without final sharpening.
Homemade knives with their hands as well as in factory production needs to be tempered. This is an important step and therefore to prepare for it thoroughly. To determine the correct temperature required to heat each blade, with lower degrees and throw them in the water. Then breaking them along the grain on the fracture defined by the blade and the temperature at which it was heated. The hardened blade is made under the same conditions, but as the cooler is the oil.
Vacation is carried out by heating to the appearance of yellowish color on the cleared areas and immersed in the same oil.
So we get the blade and the handle it's up to the imagination has no boundaries and everyone can do something for themselves.
