Hello everyone and welcome to the forge, In this complete project video I forge a recurve chopper from some scrap rebar. Rebar is not the best choice for a knife but will harden in water and hold a decent edge and is a great way to practice hammer technique and material management on something that doesn't cost anything. The same principles you see me use in this video can be applied to anything from leaf spring to Damascus steel. The rebar used in this video is grade 60 structural steel. Head out to the workshop, grab some scrap steel, and make something awesome! I appreciate you watching!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the forge for this follow-up video! After finishing up part 2 of the Wakizashi project I decided to go back and remake another Habaki to show the process better, I lost a lot of footage due to it being out of focus in the Wakizashi Part 2 video and figured this would be a good chance to do a stand-alone video on the process I used to make it. This is not the quote-un-quote correct way or traditional way, but it's a way that works for me, and an important step in documenting the build of this sword. I appreciate you watching and hope that this video inspires you to go out and create something awesome!
