Born of fire, destruction and chaos. Wind and water worn to beauty. Earth cooled under the weight and wait of eternity. Light shown as re-emergence from hidden places. The salted sweat of brow furrowed as the lessons are learned to bring the past to the present. Fire and form reborn with all, chaos, wind, water, beauty, earth, cooled, weight... an eternity personified the past renewed. Thank you for sharing your art, skills and patience.
Everyone father should smash their sons phones and video games and make them either watch these videos or work on similar projects in their spare time. This man is truly someone to be looked up to and respected for all his hard work and dedication. Truly an inspiration.
I've ran out of superlatives to describe the work done here, brilliant craftsmanship brilliant video, said it abefore, it just seems to get better, thanks for sharing.
( spanish ) vi todos los videos de este artesano y cada cuchillo es una obra de arte ( English), I saw all the videos of this craftsman and each knife is a work of art
Honestly, I had to sub to you. Your work is incredible and the fact you don't fill the video with bullshit makes it even better. Thank you for making straight forward and amazing content.
I sometimes go into my shop and lock the door then connect my speakers to the internet and crank the sound while watching this so my wife thinks I'm actually working. Not sure what I'm going to do if she wants to see what I've built...
The only real issue I can see is one the weight of those two. Good Lord, it's a load there. The other is he didn't line the sheaths with leather to make them silent when drawing or replacing. However, all in all, a very nice set of knives, and one I wouldn't mind owning.
Simplemente una terminación, cada cual le da su gusto. Es mas, su función no es mas que un adorno. Un mango "trabado" con una tuerca sin un traba roscas, con dos golpes se afloja y termina siendo una cagada.
Es mas, es tan artesanal que el tipo hace un cuchillo por vez en lugar de hacerlo los dos al mismo tiempo, quedando exactamente iguales (no me refiero a la "hoja") y ahorrando tiempo a su vez
If I may venture an answer. It's an ornamental piece. Then at 14:08 he shows that the spine has been annealed to prevent cracks. [I added this last part just so I didn't have to watch the video again for the timestamp]
I think it was Sam Houston who said that Jim Bowie gave him a Bowie knife and taught him how to use it. I heard this story as a teenager, it went some thing like this: the cutting edge is held upward and the spine of the blade is downward (look at the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - Knife Fight Scene). The spine of some of the old Bowie knives was double reinforced, as in this case, to be used to parry the thrust of the opponent with a milder metal, then comes the attack with the knife with the true cutting edge upward and spine downward. Since the old Bowie knives had straight or coffin type handles and no D-guard (probably an American civil war innovation as seen in the photographs of that era), it was easy to hold the Bowie knife either cutting edge upward or spine of the blade upward especially if a straight quillon (hand guard) was affixed to the knife. Sam Houston is said to have given his Bowie knife to a teenager many years later and explained all of this to the teenager. Just a story I heard.
ВОТ ПРОСТО ИНТЕРЕСНО, ЗАЧЕМ ЧЕЛ ДЕЛАЛ ЭТИ ИГРУШКИ, КАКОЙ ФУНКЦИОНАЛ НЕСЕТ В СЕБЕ ДАННЫЙ ГАДЖЕТ, КРОМЕ ЭСТЕТИКИ, И ТО, КАКАЯ ИСТЕРИКА В НЕ УДОБНОМ КИЩКОРЕЗЕ
I know it's probably nothing, a bit complicated sometimes with the noises and only disturbing me but I feel like you should actually talk to us about what you're doing, the problems, the challenges, reflexes to have, special treatement of certain materials, etc. I'm interested to learn about these things despite that I don't forge anything !
If you haven't heard of him already, look into michaelcthulhu. He does majority fantasy type weapons but he talks during his video and he's a very, very charismatic guy. I like watching that channel for humor and his personality and this channel for the calm, no talking.
To fabbricate this kind of knife, on the past they not use grinder, oxiacetilene torch, or colum drill, is more the time ne spend with the elettric tools than a Hammer on bis hand, Forging ??? I don’t think so , this is fabbricate in a modern way something,
