Are you excited for Part 2? Thank you to Benjamin Kamon for showing us the forging process of the Monolith! Check out his website: www.kamonknives.com

@kamon_knives Год назад

Vinz! Thanks a lot for your time and I'm amazed of how good this turned out. You're an incredibly talented guy 👏👏👏.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

🥳🤩🥳🤩 I just pointed the camera mate, you did all the hard work 🥳🤩🥳🤩 speak again soon!

@buzzbladz7142 Год назад

The bottle opener in the handle would be great for a Barby knife. cheers from oz

@UKBladeshow Год назад

100% man! Now you making me light the grill! Thanks for watching!

@keithcolby4378 Год назад

Great video. Ben is a very talented bladesmith! Can't wait for part two to see the rest of the process.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Cheers Keith! We are very fortunate to be able to share Ben’s knowledge to the RU-vid world! Speak to you again soon!

@protopigeon Год назад

Very interesting style! I do love my Wa handles though

@UKBladeshow Год назад

hey protopigeon thanks for the comment! Ben does have majority of his knives with handles too (quite cool ones if I must say!) but this specific one has a special kind of take on it!

@protopigeon Год назад

@@UKBladeshow cool creation!

@RobanyBigjobz Год назад

Such a cool looking design that takes the concept of an integral to the next level. Visually similar to a Lin Rhea design and great for that. Bring part 2, please!

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Cheers Rob for the feedback! I personally found Mr Kamon’s work absolutely inspiring! 🤩🥳😍

@Ccsontos Год назад

Loved this video and that design is so cool, will definitely have to try this. Can’t wait for part 2!

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Cheers Cody! It was a magical experience to witness this process and Part 2 is even going to be more trippy! Thanks for watching!

@andyc750 Год назад

Cool more my style of doing things, have actually made with a similar method before, interesting variation on the traditional blacksmith knife is how I look at it, love the minimum tools and such being used as well, much more fun to build that way

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Hi Andy! You got it! Ben did say that the reason he developed this is due to the fact that it is 90% forging - which is the fun stuff!

@andyc750 Год назад

@@UKBladeshow he did indeed, totally agree with him

@_BLANK_BLANK Год назад

Great video like alway! Can't wait for part two.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Cheers man! Working hard on getting part 2 on the way too! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!

@tobiashangler Год назад

Thank you @kamon_knives for sharing your process and Vinz for the beautifully editex video! Can't wait to see the next part!

@@UKBladeshow you're very welcome, only good things can come from bringing good people together 🙌

@kamon_knives Год назад

Haha yeah double thanks to you @tobiashangler! 😘😘😘

@garethbaus5471 Год назад

That handle construction is new to me. Sorta similar to the x-rhea style handle, just using a different method to get the same result. I personally plan on getting proficient in both methods.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Cheers for the comment Gareth! Thanks for watching!

@kamon_knives Год назад

It is actually inspired by the x-rhea knives from Lin Rhea 👌! I'd say it produces a similar result, but not the same. Just too different in detail. Of course the bigger picture of having a "blacksmiths knife" is the same but then I wouldn't compare a simple loop handle blacksmith's knife with Lin's outstanding work either. That's very subjective though.

@redfiveforge3985 Год назад

Love this video Vince! Keep up the good work!👍

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Thanks again Will! Speak to you again soon!

@krissteel4074 Год назад

Its a really cool concept, personally I like making handles, bolsters and guards to get that interface between blade and user just right so its not for me. But I'm also one of the sick bastards that doesn't whine endlessly when it comes to hand sanding so there's probably some kind of malfunction on my behalf.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Hahaha! I know where you're coming from though mate. Hand sanding can be a $%^&*( at times! Benjamin does a lot of very fancy handles though in case you weren't aware - check his website out!

@goodravensforge Год назад

Can you tell us more about "12519" Steel? Does it go by other names in other parts of the world? I can't seem to find what kind of steel this refers to.

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Good question. I think from what I gather it is THAT rare. I will see if I can find a source for this and will post here if I do.

@kamon_knives Год назад

1.2519 is a tungsten alloyed cold working tool steel with with about 1,1% C / 1,3% W / 1,2% Cr a little Vanadium and a little Manganese. It's similar to aogami or how I like to put it like ball bearing steel on steroids. As it has similar chromium content but added carbon and tungsten for better wear resistence. You should find info about the steel online but you most likely won't find it available as it ran out. I bought a bigger amount of it years ago and I have it for years to come. However if you are interested in a similar steel then look into Apex ultra. It's a high carbon tungsten alloyed steel as well and even exceeds the properties of 1.2519, aogami and the likes.

@goodravensforge Год назад

@@UKBladeshow Awesome, thanks!

@goodravensforge Год назад

@@kamon_knivesThanks for the clarification! I'm patiently waiting for Apex Ultra to be stocked locally, looking forward to trying it out.

@RobanyBigjobz Год назад

According to one of Larrin's articles on KnifeSteelNerds (Is Blue Super Steel Actually Super?) it's pretty close to O7 but a tad more Cr.

Question, what music asset library do you use for your videos?

@UKBladeshow Год назад

Hey buddy! Great question! I use Epidemic Sound. Use this link which I believe gives you 30 days free: www.epidemicsound.com/referral/t6rgs6

@KitchenKnifeGuy Год назад

@@UKBladeshow thanks man. I'll look into it, appreciate it :) on the search for more sound bytes these days more than anything so I'll check it out when I have a second. I want you to know, that in my opinion your channel and content is what I strive for. I believe you've set the bar incredibly high at making insanely great, well edited, well thought out content. Such a gem for the knife community, THANK YOU!
