Lesson 6: How to Make a Railroad Spike Knife | DIY Knife Making: Removing Peen Hammer Marks
In this lesson, Aram takes out his rounding hammer and removes the peen hammer marks that were made during the lengthening and widening phases. Consequently, we'll also get a little bit of a widening of the blade during this process as well. Aram also talks about why removing the scale is a good idea, unless you are going for the rustic look, in which case the scale will actually be ok to keep on blade. We're getting closer! Keep taking notes so you can be sure to make an epic railroad spike knife.
