In this video, I'll be taking a rusty old spring and transforming it into a crazy fillet knife that's both functional and visually stunning. From rust to razor-sharp, I'll be guiding you through the entire process of forging, heat treating, hand-carving the handle and sharpening this unique blade. Whether you're an experienced bladesmith or just starting out in knifemaking, you won't want to miss this journey of turning trash into treasure. The end result is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind fillet knife.
