I only got parts one and two! I'm dying for part three!

I guess I'd never noticed haha. Looks like im slated to die a long slow death due to raging alcoholism!

That all depends on what you're trying to make. The smaller the piece the less time, obviously. But if I was trying to make a stiletto it would take a lot more working on the blade to get it where it wants to be. The metal can make a significant difference as well. The higher the carbon content is the more force it takes to move it. One hammer strike on a piece of low-carbon steel, known as mild steel, can achieve the result of several hits on something harder like spring steel or tool steel. All told the BFK (Big Fuckin Knife) will probably take somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 hours. Of course, that all hinges on how finished I grind the blade. I could leave it relatively rough and save some time, or I could take it to a wide wheel and give it a hollow grind, or a flat grind.
