MAKING A BOWIE KNIFE WITH REAL ENGINEERING!!! PART 2 - WHY we heat treat steel!
Finally, the testing...
The first part of the video is more making a knife - grinding the blade, drilling to attach the handle.
Then, at 5:50, the actual materials testing comes in. Alec Steele takes a steel bar and heat treats it different ways (not on camera, sadly) and gives each piece a few solid wacks with a sledge hammer.
These two videos (Alec's and Real Engineering - whatever that guy's name is) really balance the two sides of material science. Alec shows a lot of a practical knowledge. Real Engineering shows a lot of academic knowledge. Together they're pretty awesome.
Oh, and the testing wraps up around 12:25. Then it's back to finishing off the handle of the Bowie knife.
