I Turned a Rusty File Into a Copper-Lined Japanese Knife

Watch me turn a rusty file into a copper-lined Japanese knife! This knife-making project transforms an old steel file and copper layers into a handmade tanto with a striking copper line along the blade. Follow the transformation from rusty file to finished Japanese knife: rust removal, preparing the steel and copper layers, forging the laminated blade, grinding, heat treatment, and sharpening. The copper-lined construction brings a distinctive detail to this custom knife. Would you keep this Japanese knife as a collector’s piece or put it to use? Tell me in the comments!
