Intro to Knife Making (TIS041)

In this episode, the Idahoan demonstrates how to make a simple, rugged fixed-blade knife out of a piece of rebar, using only a few basic tools, one of which is the open-pit forge he built in the previous episode.

DISCLAIMER: Improper ore careless use of tools can result in serious injury. Careless use of a fire or forge has the potential to result in severe burns, other injuries, widespread property damage (if fire gets out of control) and other consequences. Careless use of knives (whether as they are being made or after they are completed) can lead to serious injury and potentially other consequences. Your safety is YOUR responsibility. Some governments impose restrictions on knives and on open fires. It is YOUR responsibility to know and obey all applicable laws in your area. Do not attempt to reproduce anything shown in this video unless you can do so safely and legally.
