Blacksmith Forging a Kukri Knife From a Lawnmower Blade With No Power Tools

After the lawnmower blade Kopis, I really wanted to try forging a Kukri using the same method. So here's the short version of making a Kukri with half of a lawnmower blade. I used no power tools and the finished knife is as-forged without grinding except for the sharpened edge.

The section of lawnmower blade started off at 10 inches long and 1/8" thick. The finished knife is 14 inches overall with a 9 inch blade, 5 inch handle, and is 3/16" thick at the spine and near the handle. The blade and handle both taper down in thickness.

Let me know what you think about this style of video without any talking, this is the first one I've done. Stay tuned for the full video with explanations soon.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!
