The fit and finish is my favorite part of your videos. The clean, overall lines are way more attractive to me than fancy pattern welded steels and rare wood. That center ridge running the length of the piece is fantastic. That's not easy to do with multiple parts.
As a guy new to the knife crafting realm, it’s a pleasure to watch you create your blades. I learn many things from watching your videos, and i know the video and editing part can be a pain so I’d like to thank you for your effort. Cheers mate!
Freek this is a beautiful piece of work. The acabord is amazing and well made. The dagger is one of the best I have ever seen and your video is perfect. Good work my friend. Thank you
I have said it before and will say it again you make some incredible stuff, watching you make the scabbard, then the end results I am in awe. Thanks for taking the time to share what you do with the rest of us, you are amazing and these videos are outstanding.
Your craftsmanship is truly outstanding to create such a beautiful piece that is worthy to be in a museum that nobody would know that you made it recently. Absolutely great work thank you for sharing your work.
Wow! You Sir are so inspiring. I get so relaxed watching you work. You remind me of a old video I watched about 7 yrs ago. The blacksmith was commissioned to craft a long sword for the tourism ministry of a country I can't remember the name of. He did amazing work like you, including a egg shaped pommel carved from ivory of a elven maiden emerging from within the egg. With an onix grip. Turned out he was allergic to onix dust and had to premedicate before working it.
Freerk makes the kinds of blades I wish to make one day. And thank you for making your blades a home. A blade is not finished in my opinion till it has a sheath or scabbard to rest its edge in. Beautiful work.
tu trabajo es magnifico! Agradezco en demasía el tiempo que tomas para poder compartir con nosotros tu arte, aprendo mucho de tus técnicas. Un abrazo desde Latinoamerica - Paraguay
I am a cleaver, I have 1 year of experience in the field. I want you to know that I've been following your videos, and I'm learning a lot with you. Thank you, my friend. São Paulo Brazil
Beautiful dagger, sir. When I saw this, I instantly thought of Carnwennan, King Arthur's magic dagger, which had the power to cloak its user in a field of shadow.
Красота вопросов нет, металлообработка, электричество, мастерство....но терзают меня мысли а как это всё делалось тогда когда не было гридеров, болгарок, фрезеров ....и понимаешь что уровень древних мастеров был ого го какой...и все эти механизмы заменяли руки...
Been thinking about forging a piece of coil spring into a dagger. I love my pumicecrete rocket stove by the way and thanks for the video. I needed this.
to the normal person it looks kinda simple, but being a knife maker I can honestly say its beautiful, the line all the way down the center is literally eye candy
I’ve always admired your videos for how thoroughly the footage is, demonstrating every step taken and the artistic stylings of your craft. I am especially impressed with how you create the handles of your blades, watching you work is a learning experience. But may I suggest you try making a blade of a non-Western origin? I specifically suggest that you try to create a Filipino barong with a full tang handle, as I am curious how you would construct it, as the barong is typically a blade with a “rat tail” styled handle. But this is only a suggestion from a random dude on RU-vid, so do whatever you want! Keep up the good work!
Sir Remington another eastern blade that I really like is the Vietnamese Tr'oung Dao - although at first glance it might look like some over the top anime sword, it's extremely good at cutting due to its unique top-heavy design. Skallagrim did a review of an antique he got, if you'd like to see it being used.
