An easy to follow guide to hand forging a chopper knife. This is more of a machete than a knife but it is a knife still. The competition chopper is one of the easier shapes to forge because you don't have to forge in the tip. This video shows the knife being forged from start to finish and also covers the finishing process after forging. I hope you enjoy the video, this is an older video that I re-released with an audio description overlay for the people that wanted more than just a visual display of knife making. As always if you have questions please feel free to ask in the comments! Thanks for watching this video!
