You seem to have become like best friends with Guga. If I were in your position, I'd be best friend with him too. :) Keep up the great content, both of you.
You should totally get yourself a forge so when you don't have enough material at least you can forge at a Tang for the handle so it's all one solid piece.
I probably said this before me but…. Let me understand something they replaced you and Callie whit grace? She’s like the host of the show? I’m not tryin to hate but she’s quite annoying I’m keeping the tkor Channel only because of you guys honestly I don’t watch graces vids you were the channel creators best friend how could they do that? She’s not engaging and not entertaining and not you. Anyways it ticks me off.
It makes me a so happy to see you succeeding so much with your own channel. Was such a mistake for TKOR to let you go, but honestly I think it's worked out for the best. You're making much higher quality content now, and because it's what you care about, the passion bleeds through the videos!
Last time I checked your sub count you were around 100k. Now you're up to 200k. I'm so happy for you that you're starting to fly on your own. I won't be surprised to see you at 1m. So many creators know you and would love to work with you if you want that. Keep up the good work
Good work, just a note dont try welding heattreated steel it wont hold (yes its a knive it will be okay in this case probably) done some toolsteel welding and u need to be carefull with doing so, need some heattreating aswell and so on.
It’s just crazy that 2 of my favorite content creators are collaborating!! I’ve been watching both you and Guga for years, I don’t care if you guys met naturally or through a management decision, the videos are superb. Nate you’re doing amazing on your own, keep it up!!
I love the thought you put into this for 'Guga'. I've been a long time subber to both your channels and I really appreciate the obvious friendship you two have. Oh, and I'm a knife nerd, so this was epic!
Knife looks great, but I would personally use longer damascus part and put the weld further into the handle, so it's less stressed during use... And also weld it before heat treating would be good idea, as mentioned.
Woah! this was not something I would think this channel is churning out, the knife looks great "first time" maker. "One thing I could speak on for comfort while cutting is a thumb relief, especially for the larger slicing movements"
I also make knives on a part time basis and always enjoy watching techniques used by other makers. Many of decisions were different than what I would have done, but you ended up with a beautiful product at the end. I've never seen a knife makers shop that is so clean though, mine ends up covered in powdered steel no matter how often I vacuum it.
I think you should have used as much of the Damascus as possible to get it to the center of the handle to make it stronger, it just looks like this could be a weak design
Dude, that stainless damascus, I should say... I didn't know it exists! Now I want it soooo bad 🤣🤣 I was a liitle worried with that point where Nate put the 2 steels together, but I hope it will never fail 😁
Interesting way to finish Damascus, have not seen that one before. Makes it looks like wood, in a way, or like water ripples that suddenly froze. With a bit more etching and deeper pattern it ought to make for an interesting feel and finish on something like a wrench as well.
When Nate’s explaining the acid soak around 8:30 he’s positioned in such a way in front of his lights that it makes it look like he has white eyes under his glasses a few times lol
Beautiful knife! Nate what would you recommend as a starter wet stone for someone that wants to sharpen their own knives? I really want to get some but with all the options I don't know what to pick!
one of the better HT runs for a tuber. scale that as a knife maker that has been doing his own nearly 20 years dama steel is some $ stuff. you did a great job with your gear. that post HT weld gives me question but hey its a knife not ment for big impacts
You should watch Kyle Royer, he has to be one of the greatest bladesmiths on the planet. After etching his blades he leaves them to soak in an in instant coffee bath and it brings out the dark striations of the pattern in crazy black detail.
I collaborated with Kyle! He made me a BEAUTIFUL bar of steel that I made into a knife, I've got two videos about it! He is so good. Ferric chloride and coffee don't work well on stainless steels though!
That is a beautiful knife I'm looking to make a mirror finish like that on some art piece knives I have have to do rest and everything what would you recommend
Love your video's ... could you do a video showing cheap vs expensive products cleaning your basin @2:41 in this video (to be honest ... my OCD gets triggered in a bad way every time I see this dirty basin in a video) hope you understand
ok ask for only steel since he stated that is 3x more time than he can do. oh no my handle doesnt 'feel' good. what if I have no idea how my hand feels :( so if I order the knife type without a handle; do I get more than a 30% discount or?
