How I Turning Bike Wheels into a Sharpest Knife | Forged by Hand. - Video

???? Welcome back to my village blacksmith workshop! In today’s video, I show you how I turn old bicycle tyres into a razor-sharp knife, completely forged by hand using traditional blacksmithing techniques. This project is a great example of upcycled knife making — taking scrap metal and breathing new life into it as a powerful and functional blade.

If you enjoy watching DIY knife making, forging knives from scrap, and learning more about the craftsmanship behind handmade knives, you’re going to love this episode. I use an old bicycle tyre rim and transform it into one of the sharpest knives I've ever made. It’s not just a knife — it’s a story of transformation, patience, and fire.

???? What You'll See in This Video:

The full process of forging a knife from a bicycle tyre

Heating, shaping, and grinding the steel using only hand tools and fire

Creating a sharp edge through traditional blacksmith sharpening techniques

Final polishing and edge testing with paper and wood

Filming everything right here in my countryside forge, surrounded by nature and tradition

???? My forge is located in my village house yard, and everything I create is 100% handmade. I believe in slow crafting, using vintage blacksmith methods, and showing how anyone can make a strong blade with simple tools and dedication.

???? This knife is inspired by bushcraft designs — compact, durable, and incredibly sharp. You can use it for camping, carving, or just display it as a unique hand-forged tool made from recycled material.

???? I filmed the entire process using close-up shots so you can see every hammer strike, every spark, and every step I take. If you're into bushcraft tools, recycled steel knives, or just enjoy the rhythm of metalwork, you'll appreciate the satisfying sounds and visuals in this video.

???? Why bicycle tyre steel? Because it’s a challenge. The rim is thin and not made for knives, but with proper heating and folding, I forge it into something solid and sharp. That’s the magic of blacksmithing — turning something forgotten into something powerful.
