Transforming Tools into Kitchen Treasures: Forged Knife, Fork & Spoon
Today we are in the Sadie Smithy re purposing some items from the scrap steel bin to make into a forged cutlery set. I make a blacksmith style all metal knife out of a metal file, a two tined twisted fork from a broken pair of knife making tongs, and a spoon from a lug wrench. All three parts of the cutlery set had their challenges, but each turned out well, and come together to make a set that will work well for camping, daily use, and as an interesting addition to my renaissance festival costume.

They really turned out beautifully!
It's nice to watch someone who loves their art.
Thank you Jerry. I do really enjoy blacksmithing.
Superb...
Thank you. 🙏
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship You are welcome. Don' give up, keep on going.
Thanks. Another amazing build. A great way to recycle and reuse. 🔪🎸
Thanks Paul.
Love your imagination and ability to produce what is in your head. You have inspired me to make a knife out of a big old rasp. Wish me luck.
Yes! Good luck brother. I’d love to see how it turns out.
How awesome, such a great work 👏👏
Looks really great!!!
Thank you. I’m really happy with them.
nice work..just watched while taking early coffee in France ..giving me some ideas
Nice! Get to it.😁
I’m glad the twist broke off. Looks great. 👍🏻
I am too, lol. Thank you.
I'd love to buy a forged set! In junior high school I took a metal shop where we made metal 'stuff'. I loved it, but moved on to other things (sadly) and didn't stick with the budding interest in forging and metalworks (my error). Now, decades later... I wonder what it would have been like if I had not been so superficial and pursued the life I did and instead stayed with the beauty of hand tooling metal, wood, etc.
Oh Dustin, are you alive man. Well done for the vide. I am very pleased to see the notification for this channel. Record, man, because you have a nice workshop, here are some ideas from me, for example: Modification of a purchase ax in the viking style, bras for the same or similar. Anything, at least about knives if nothing else.. 🙋
Thanks for watching and your concern😂. We been busy with life, but hope to get out some more videos a bit more often over the next few months.
Nice Dustin! Ready for the meat!!🍖
Thanks brother.
Great video! I agree with everything ou discussed. On another note, because its got me stumped. I've collected axes for a while now. Recently, I got into all handled tools. I just bought an 8 LB sledge hammer With a stamp that says "Made in Germany" that circles a man with a sledge on his shoulder. I cannot find anything on it. Anyone have any ideas on who made it?
I was starting to wonder what happened to you. Been a while since you posted. Ten lashes. Nice designs. One comment...how well is your finger going to feel against the scroll on the knife? I wrote the last sentence before the scroll broke off. I think that is going to feel much better in the hand without it. Now that you have tried them all three, what might you have done differently? Good video. Thanks.
Thank for watching and your comment. I really like the design of the spoon and the fork. I will be going back to the smithy to make a few more versions of each in slightly different sizes. I think making the spoon and knife lighter is my goal on the next set. Thanks again.
What are those 2 holes on the side of your sawyers/saw makers anvil for?
Handling. You stick a big bar of steel in there and suddenly it's much easier to move the thing around. You can also put a rope through them and suspend it from that.
Hey man Looking to make some Bushcraft utensils similar to this and I got some questions for you if you don’t mind me asking 1. With these have to be maintained overtime like through oil rubs, or something of that sort 2. Is there any kind of specific material you used? 3. What kind of oil did you use when quenching and is it safe for when eating? And last Will these rust or form any kind of oxidation overtime that can cause harm to you if you were to eat with them? Love the vids 😁
Great video I have a ? About an axe I found. Do u know of a brand of axe that is on sharped on one side????
