Forged knife from hook slings


Hello dear friends, today we will forge a knife from a hook from the slings. I don’t know the grade of steel, but sparks like good steel. I made this knife about two years ago, it proved to be excellent in use - how many I cut the tires with it, and sharpened it twice, it turns out hard. So here we go, here is our test subject

I measure the place of the cut on the hook, I did not leave it whole, I'm not sure that there will be enough nerves for its alignment, so I plan and saw off

Now rekindle my hearth. I have it small, but udalenka, like putting a crowbar in it, I wanted to heat it and level the tip and while I was smoking it heated up and when I decided to forge the crowbar I took it out and it melted

I warm the hearth and put the workpiece and heat it up almost to yellow-white

I cool it for a couple of minutes, then warm it up again, but already to the scarlet color

I start forging where the bend is, thereby aligning the workpiece

Metal forges well, I begin to form a handle

Well, something turns out like a knife, but still a lot of work

Next, I thin and stretch the handle smoothing the edges

I decided not to leave the ring like that and ivy it a little drowned

Well, almost now I’m cooling and considering, it seems convenient to hold in my hands, I warm it up again and eliminate all the shortcomings

That's all, the handle is now ready to proceed to the blade. I form the general profile of the blade, pulling and thinning it

Thickness somewhere 3mm smooth out all the bumps

Now I form the tip of the blade, betraying the final look. Then I punch the entire area with a metal ball not much so the blade will become stronger

Well, that’s it, the horn can be put out, everything is forged. Now proceed to rough grinding the area

I bring down the slopes on the sharpener is not quite even, but it looks nice

Well, it remains to grind a few. Initially, I did not plan to grind the knife in the mirror and therefore I grind it with fine sandpaper manually

Something like this.


Well, our brutal knife is ready, thank you all for your attention!

How many empty gestures. The material for the hook is usually steel 15; 20, the carbon content is -0.15-0.20. This steel is normal in accordance with GOST, but due to the low carbon content it will not burn. The blade of the blade will constantly become dull, and most importantly rust. Available steel 40X13 from bolts of water valves, it is necessary to train on such material. After hardening, it has a hardness of HRC 50-52, and most importantly, this steel does not rust.

I’m not going to get into the specification, but I’ll say that the GPM hooks are made of St3sp steel (quiet melting). The stuff is about nothing.
we open the specification for hooks, pulling hook КЧ-1,6хл, carrying capacity 1,6t, made of steel 09Г2С according to GOST 25573-82
what kind of knife can we talk about? will be a little harder than if you flatten the nail and sharpen it according to your method))))
