Making nordic bushcraft knife - blacksmithing, leather sheath, burl handle, fishing trip

Making and using a nordic bushcraft knife. I forge the blade from coil spring, carve the handle from birch burl, make the sheath from leather and use the knife on a fishing trip. Open the full video description for more information. ---------------------------- Date: June 2024 Day: about 20°C (59°F) Night: about 10°C (50°F) Hours of daylight = about 16 Location: Scandinavia, Northwest Denmark - sea, spruce/pine and hardwood forrest. Some of the most remote in Denmark, but limited how remote it can get. A lot of birds and deers etc. No bears, only a few wolves. _________________ A few questions: 1. What steel did you use? Spring steel - coil from unknown farming equipment. 2. What wood did you use for the knife handle? Birch burl. 3. What wood did you use for the leather sheath? Birch. 4. How did you heat treat the knife blade? Normalizing in air, hardening in oil, tempering over the forge (charcoal) to a light yellow collar. 5. Did you drill a hole in the handle before burning the final fit? Yes. 6. What glue did you use? Epoxy. 7. Why make the leather wet? Makes it softer/easier to shape. 8. Why use water on the anvil? It helps removing scale/keeps the steel cleaner. Scale is hard and will be forged into the surface leaving a rough finish. 9. Is the blacksmith setup inside a tent? Yes - or rather it was. A large lavvu/tent. Just made from cheap tarps, spruce poles and nails. Nothing fancy. It was my home and blacksmith shop for a few months. Meanwhile recording this video did I remove the tent and reuse the materials to make a new home/tent (about 6P lavvu). Going forward will the blacksmith shop just be outdoors - better space for eventually stand up and working instead of sitting down. 10. What blower do you use in the blacksmith shop? One made in Denmark for the danish military. Similar is common for blacksmithing - if you want one try to google "Hand crank forge air blower" or similar. 11. What oil do you use for wood? Usually linseed oil or tung oil (but in this case just rapeseed oil). 12. What axe are you using? Classic Russian axe design. Homemade - C45 steel and ash handle.. 13. Where did you get the anvil from? Homemade. Forklift fork, cut with angle grinder and heat treated like an anvil. 14. Why the hole in the bottom of the sheath and wooden inlay? Water drain for for whenever the knife/sheath gets soaked - heavy rain, fishing etc. 15. Why not forge weld? It is future videos. In this case did I want a hard spine for ferro rod firelighting. 16. Where is the woodpecker nest? Near the blacksmith shop. The woodpeckers have now left the nest after a succesfull breeding. 17. Do you sell? At the moment do I only sell locally here in Denmark and only very limited amount. I am currently considering making a a website and starting selling global (though still very limited amount). I am also considering doing giveaways here on youtube. 18. What do you do for a living? Making axes, wooden spoons and youtube. 19. Where do you live? In a tent/lavvu in a nature reserve in Northwest Denmark. 20. What oil do you use for hardening steel? Rapeseed oil. 21. What materials are you're old bushcraft knife made from? Spring steel, birch burl and leather. Made it a few years ago. 22. Can you tell me more about the sheath? Yes - I usually use a wooden inlay made the same size as the knife handle (makes the sheath slim like my old bushcraft knife). This time did I experiment with a wooden inlay that is wider than the knife handle (can be aesthetic pleasing and functional, but in this case did it turn out a bit too bulky for my liking). The benefit with a wider wooden inlay in the sheath is that it makes a narrowing in the middel of the sheath (preventing the wooden inlay from working itself lose over time) and that you can cut a larger opening in the wooden inlay (making it easier to get the knife in the sheath in a hurry). 23. Can you tell me more about the knife design? Yes - just a typical nordic/scandinavian knife - for wilderness and general crafting. The narrow blade makes it good for general crafting and wilderness tasks. The wooden inlay in the leather sheath protects the user.
