This is another one of those videos where the point is to show you a skill as opposed to a practical “how-to”.
In this video, you will get an inside look on blacksmithing as the craftsman involved mods a ram's head knife out of an old railroad spike.
How does this relate to survival?
If you find yourself in a SHTF moment or long term survival situation, the more you know how to do – or even how to attempt, the better your chances of survival.
You never know if you might have to bend or mold a piece of metal – to fix a pin on farming equipment for instance, where in a survival situation, you may not have the option of buying a new pin or parts may be scarce.
The video that shows the basics in blacksmithing is on the next page (also, the guys skills are awesome and the end product is really cool).

A rail road spike is actually barely good enough to make a suitable knife you thould make it from saw blades heavy springs from suspension and ect.
