SRT02 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm getting ready to try out a few things on my next knife, folding being one of them. I know absolutely nothing about folding metal. So I was wondering if anyone could help me out on how to get it started and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) I see you are 13, first how long have you been forging? ever forge welded before? there are many threads dealing with that if you will look for them and read. Its best if your teacher shows you how to start than reading text in a forum. read up in the forums here, then ask again about what problem you may then have. Your asking how to fold a knife shows you have not read anything for yourself yet. Edited April 4, 2009 by steve sells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 good its not hard to do, but very hard to explain a in a forum setting like this. after you do it a little with the scraps in the shop, we can help you make pretty patterns, and blades with it. Start with mild scraps, with a person showing you what colors and its easier. MUCH easier, than us trying to explain cleaning the bars, yellow heat, and scarfing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
