About me
If something is cutting, stabbing and shaving then I want to forge it! My interest in knives is a classic example of a passion that slowly turned into a job, but never stopped being an fun experience
It all started when I was a little kid.
I got my first pocket knife from my parents when I was 6 years old, and since then knives have lived for free in my mind. As a teenager, using knowledge from the knives.pl forum and Youtube videos, I started forging my first knives, using a charcoal forge I worked on the forged blanks with files and sandpaper. Some of my initial designs broke at the hardening stage, others during practical testing, but some survived and gave rise to my passion today.
Today I use a gas forge with precise temperature control, a large belt grinder and other modern equipment, but I try to make my main tools a hammer and anvil, which provide a unique character to my knives.
Social media
On a daily basis, you will find the most new photos, information and tidbits about the projects being created on Facebook and Instagram. I also upload short videos to YouTube.
How are my knives made?
Making videos while forging knives is not an easy thing to do, so for the time being I have few of them. In time, I hope to show in more detail the process of making a knife in my forge.
Below you can see how I assemble the dagger for fencing. Individual components such as the blade, the hilt, the handle and the head are fitted, and then the mandrel is forged, joining them together.
