Making a Knife from Wrought Iron Wagon Wheels: Recycling History

We recycle history by turning antique wagon wheels into a heirloom blade. This video shows the whole process from preparing the wrought iron to the finished knife. First, the wagon tire is forged and prepared for melting in the crucible. A crucible steel bar is forged from the ingot and then turned into a powerful blade. Finally, everything is put together and you can marvel at the carbide grain structure of the blade. Bladesmith: Tony Pederson/Niels Provos Subscribe:
