Man, that's so clean and beautiful 😍

beautiful knife, great job, bravo

Nobody knows what that notch is for any more. I have wondered if might have once been used while making cordage or if it help absorb shock while chopping but I do know it weakens the blade. I will also note that the pre 1900 knives seem to have had half tangs or less. How they stayed together when chopping wood or bone escapes me but they must have done so most of the time. The British wanted full tangs with a joined butt cap for their troops and got them. I think they are all made that way now. That is the first time I can recall seeing anyone putting a Scandi grind on a kukri. I didn't notice any distal taper either. Have fun and may God bless and keep you and yours. It is about 20 degrees F in TN for todays high.

जय नेपाल जय गोर्खाली ❤❤🇳🇵🇳🇵

What kinda of antler was used for the handle i wonder? Moose? Just a guess

That is a better Bowie Knife than the other one that didn't have a finger guard, but it still needs a proper pommel.

The knife you made looks nice, but a proper Bowie Knife needs a hand guard and a pommel.

Well done. Nice 🔪

Hmmm, what is the secret sauce? I'll hazard a guess at magnesium or sodium! Either way, the blade turned out really sweet, and the hamon looks gorgeous!

Question, when you melt the drill bits , does it still maintain its high carbon properties or does it reset to to be normal steel. I have always been interested in taco method , and one day would like to see if drill bit would make a good edge if properly tempered, but here your are making a whole ahh knife with it, fantastic vid.

Do you thermal cycle it like 7 some times for it to form the carbides? That's heating it up and letting it just cool down.. its what creates the real wootz pattern & makes the blade extremely hard but still some what ductile making it hard to snap or break because usually super hard = extremely brittle. Theres a guy who figured it out he uses glass & a bit of green leaves in the crucible when forming the billet.. i think the video is called the art of wootz steel or something..he was a farmer who figured it out & metallurgy specialist were completely blown away

Việt Nam peoples stand with Russi@ and support Russi@ Peoples, side by side. Zelen, lets stop being a W3stern Puppet, let Ukrai@ people safe, paece and Indefendance. Lets learn from VietN@m-Americ@ war in 1975, lets learn about The Salt pepper of Ir@q. Nowaday, All VietNam people LOL when talking about Pupp3t Zelen, him taken Ukrain@ people in his war, like la pawn on W3stern Chess Play. Think about Việt Nam, zelen!

😅

outdoor55 video shows your nail chopping test is fake...kind of

Say khukuri or khukri

I could smell the burning antler as he was grinding it on his belt. If you've ever experienced that smell, you'll never forget it.

Are You Not Entertained!!!!????

How long did this project take to finish?

We will see

Excuse me, Dagger

Man, that is a pretty gorgeous sword hallelujah

Nek trimo dolanan hal rapeting menurutku...................kanggo opo kertase cuman kui koncoku lha kabeh ning uripku mbok manfatake .

I am curious what it would look like after a coffee etch.

I like seeing how you made the container

Its not so straight bro, but nice try well❤

Прекрасный клинок, толстый обух клинка, хорошая рукоять. Такой нож в походе да и вообще на любом выезде на природу будет не лишним 👍👍👍. Мои поздравления 🤝

Actual wootz steel? Color me impressed. Usually its just people making pattern welded steel and calling it wootz or Damascus.

Most impressive crucible blade making this way.

I wish I could have one of those knife

Im a smithy and really like the multi-demsional lines you drew for your cuts. Im going to incorporate that into my work, I think it will help with my over worrying about perfection on cuts. Thank you!!!

That looks like the sword Brendan Fraser used in ‘The Mummy’!!

Good morning, thank you for this video. how many cups are there for each material? THANKS

Uma obra de arte... Parabéns! Brasil.

Fuck this is the coolest knife I’ve ever seen

I love seeing a mastercraft doing their best work. Thank you for sharing this with us.

i hate to be the one but there is no such thing a valerian steel .you do realize that is from a tv show right

recently watched alec steele do a canister damascus attempt with welding electrodes, in which he failed to realize that a large part of the flux is alloying material that gets added during the melt. it did not go well. would be interested to see a similar attempt with crucible steel.

😍😍😍😍😍

Now we need a scabbard

Beauty of tanto knife.

Seen it's length it's more like a Wakizashi

Really don’t like the use of epoxy in this build. Actually, I really don’t like the unauthentic way in which you made it.

刀把费半天劲也不好看..

Good control on the drill!

Dont try this at home😮😢

What fun!!!

That's what I call perfect knife,You the man!!!😮

Nicest steel I’ve ever seen!

I soo wish I had one of your knives in my collection.

Absolutely wonderful, beautifully done. I can only wish that I could afford such a work of art 🎨
