Traditional Knife Handle Fitting with Heated Steel. - Video

A traditional knife-making technique uses a heated steel tang to shape a tight-fitting hole inside a wooden handle. The hot metal chars the wood fibers, producing smoke as the tang is carefully inserted. This method helps create a close fit between the blade and the handle.
