This video documents the process of creating an iron knife from iron bacteria found in a creek. The creator collects the bacteria, dries it, and uses it to create iron ore. They then smelt the ore in a furnace, using charcoal made from wood, to produce iron prills. Finally, they cast the iron into a mold and sharpen it into a knife.
