Cool video, but I am a bit confused. What is the purpose of hammering the blade on the wood?

Thank you, this is to align the blade, and leave no trace of the hammer. Sorry for my English

Finding the bigger balls is a challenge.  Nicely done.

Very nicely done, sir. I was curious as to how one would go about making a knife from one of those, and that was a good demonstration. 

I'm surprised at how high the carbon content is in ball bearings; hopefully that knife will hold up pretty well.

Just having some fun messing around with whatever I have a mind to do.
