Make Your Own Bush Knife (Part 2)

We got our home forge set up in part 1 of this article. In this second and final part, we offer a quick review of the steps necessary to flatten and draw out raw steel into a workpiece and how to forge the blade, point and handle. We also review the necessary thermal treatments and finishing operations to the final product.

Now that we’ve gotten this far, it’s time to get to work.
