It was very stylish and useful. The pattern you gave to the steel blended perfectly with the tree in its hilt. Great craftsmanship. Health to your hands and your labor.👍👏🙌
Great looking knife. I’m going to try to make one just like it this evening. I’m sure it will not be looking as good as yours but it’s a first try at something I’ve never done before. Thanks for the video.
Hello to the knife creator! beautiful work. I have been making several knives this year. But I have been buying the knives blanks and making the handles. My son showed me your video and suggested that I should make one from scratch like your video is showing. So I am working on it right now during the holidays. I have a question for you: what do you use to file the blade, the last steps? What knid of sanding paper do you use to finish the blade by hand? Could you giveme some advices please? Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas to you and your followers!
Bravoo. Video za deset kao i uvijek. Noz za zivot, kao i uvijek. Drska od drveta, bez rijeci sam. Izuzetno mi se svidja. Noz dobija novi ton i spoj sa prirodom. Bravo maestreooo
I have just started to watch your channel and I absolutely love your designs and blades in general. How much would something like this run a person? Maybe a special handle engraving or something?
Tip from maker to maker: Starting the grind of a knife with a fresh belt nocks off the tips of the abrasive, shortening it's life greatly. Try starting it with a used belt, and then switch to a fresh one to remove the bulk. Absolutely outstanding work BTW 👌
Absolutely beautiful. I asked a question on another video about your quench. This time you used tje oven. The colors of the heat are completely different last video looked almost welding temp this one looked like pale orange like if blacksmithing you would stop hammering and go back in to the forge im just curious as the difference between the 2. Also all the extra tange holes i understand concept extra expoxy grabbing. Do you feel those extra holes weaken tje tange?. Thank you. Please know i mean no disrespect im trying to learn. You are a excellent blacksmith
@@joejones9520 It’s the heating element that I still need. I’ve been cold-forging carbon steel blades out of scraps, but I can’t heat treat them yet. So far the blades have turned out pretty good, but I know they’re only strong enough for food cutting.
@@ironfae they sell lots of propane forges on ebay, that's where i bought mine. They have ones under 100, mine was about 200. Also I think if you built a good size fire outside and let it get coals at bottom, you could get the metal hot enough to harden.
@@joejones9520 You’re right of course. I’m just not sure how many mistakes or accidents I can afford without training. I’m working on upgrading my skills. Just need to learn more before I turn up the heat.
@@ironfae which reminds me; get heat resistant gloves, theyre available on ebay too, I used to get the cloth kind but have learned the blue suede ones work best. And I bought a leather apron that covers chest and whole front body on ebay, wasnt much, 30-40 bucks.
beautiful knife, do you know what you applied to the wooden handle? Iwanted to start making knives but want to get some tips and what to buy. Amazing video you truly created a masterpiece.
What kind of beltgrinder are you using? I've never seen one that allows you to change the orientation 90°. God that would be helpful when working on handles
