I Melted Rusty Nails Into an Indian Dagger

I Melted rusty nails into an Indian-inspired dagger made from wootz steel. Watch a pile of scrap become a handcrafted knife with a sweeping curved blade. The process starts with rusty nails, iron powder, graphite, and glass loaded into a crucible. Follow the melting, forging, grinding, polishing, and handle assembly—all accompanied by the sounds of the workshop. Inspired by the Indian khanjar, the finished knife combines a curved profile, sculpted blade grooves, and a light-colored handle. ⚔️ Handmade Knives & Custom Work 🛒 Etsy Shop: https://fzmakingknives.etsy.com 📷 Instagram:   / fzmakingknives   📘 Facebook:   / fzmakingknives   What should I turn into a knife next?
