Chapter 6: Using the Wrong Tools, Materials, or Metals

When creating a knife, there is a specific reason why certain tools or materials are used during the process. Many beginners think they can just use whatever they have available, but this is a hard lesson you want to avoid having to learn through personal experience. This chapter covers the mistakes many beginners make when they do not use the appropriate tools or materials when creating their blade.

Using the Wrong Tongs

If you are just starting out, you can get by with one tong, since you will primarily be making the same size or designed knife. But, at some point, you will need to expand your tong collection. Not using the right tongs when holding your work can quickly result in a terrible accident. The work can easily slip from the tongs, especially when hammering.
