Still, it may be worth making the more expensive upgrade if the enchantments are considered difficult to obtain. In the case of tools and weapons, however, this may be a significantly less economical option combining two diamond shovels would cost two diamonds in total, while up to four diamonds could be required to directly repair one.

This is a very good deal in the case of a chestplate, for example a full repair (four materials) would total only half of the item's original cost (eight materials). One material can repair 25% of the target's maximum durability.

That’s what keeps me motivated in moments like that.” If you’re proud of what you do, then the fear of failure doesn’t distract you from creating something that will be a family heirloom for generations to come. You throw your tools in the yard and kick the grass, but you know you’re just gonna pick them up and try again. 100 hours of work in pieces on the floor. I’ve had moments where steel has shattered like thin ice across my calloused hands. “You gotta think 20 steps ahead when manipulating iron. If the knife can slice through a tomato sideways without having to hold it down, then it passes.”Ī bladesmith has to be resilient because there will be days when you’ve been dodging sparks for weeks on a single pair of tongs or get stung by a hot iron. A kitchen knife will be tested for proper geometry and sharpness by slicing food, like tomatoes.

Each piece I make is tested according to what task it’s designed for.

“When it’s time to test the knives, I do a series of bend, flex, hardness, and retention testing. #colonyknives #forged #blacksmith #bladesmith #customknives #blacksmith #usamade #handmade #knivesforsale #knife #knifecommunityĪ post shared by Andrew Wasnac on at 5:11pm PDT & I suck at this tomato testing thing 😂. Doing this before moving forward with the hand finishing, so don’t mind the dirty 220 grit scrub.
