Don't get me wrong—this will be a great knife. But in all honesty, it's more of a remake of Croccidial Dundee's Knife than a stand-alone bower knife. That little fact makes me so happy!
I gave 5 categories for YouTube views to vote for. In the end, this knife was voted on. It is 15 inches in length, sharp on both sides of the drop tip, has a clean spine, a deep fuller, and finally, a stacked leather handle. Drawing it up, it kind of looks like a Dundee knife.
In this video, I discuss the foregoing part of this project. I spent nine hours in the forge burning just two bags of charcoal, which is around 30 lbs, and it was worth every second.
I hope you enjoy the process.
The next video will be about filling, carving the fuller, and most likely shaping the hand guard and pommel.
I have so much to do, I best get back to work.

I love the design you settled on. Though I have to admit... It looks a lot like the Crocodile Dundee bowie. But I've always loved that design, so... fair play, I say! 👍👍

Dude you got this!!! It’s going to be a lit knife!!
-
The tang you can do one of two things. You can weld on a screw or bolt and tap a hole into the pommel or you can form the tang into a cylinder and use a diy to add threads to the tang

When would i be invited to make historical weapons?,love your videos pal

5160 makes good knives. No need for snap test as this is not a high carbon steel. It is an alloy. Forge On!!!
-
You need to make you some bladesmithing tongs just for flat stock holding
-
What the purpose for dipping the hammer in water, before shaping the steel.

ALWAYS QUENCH WITH OIL NOT WATER PEOPLE, ITS BASIC CHEMISTRY..?? WATER QUENCHING MAKES METAL BRITTLE AND BREAK EASY, OIL ACTUALLY HARDENS
