How to Make a Gambler's Push Dagger From an Old File

I've been getting a lot of requests for a push dagger, so I decided to build one in the style of the old Sheffield push daggers. My wife likes push daggers, so this one is for her.

Some of the techniques I use here are the same as my book, as well as the little 10-brick charcoal forge. The forge uses standard red clay bricks (make sure they are solid clay and not concrete and as dry as possible) plus is 12" long 1" steel pipe with 1/4" holes drilled into one-half of the pipe.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Here are some of my books on Amazon. Thanks for the support!
