Another informative and fascinating video for BEGINNER knife makers with Graham Clarke! Some of the questions that will be answered in this video are:

What is Forge Welding?
How can metal be welded without melting it?
So, is Forge Welding as strong as conventional fusion welding?
Can all steels be Forge Welded?
I’ve heard/read that some combinations of steel are prone to centreline cracking. What is this and what causes it?
