Brush your metal #knifemakingtutorial #welding #bladesmith #howto #diy #metalworking - Video

When hot steel comes into contact with oxygen, a layer of scales builds up on its surface, this oxygenating process can make your work hard to see. So I use a wire brush or wire block brush to remove the scale while it’s still hot so it removes easily. Once the scale is removed, you can inspect the work for any cracks, delaminations or cold shuts.
