I fix clocks, so besides low-carbon steel I see lots of brass, which indeed becomes softer if quenched instead of air-cooled. Most clock steel is okay if just air-cooled down from cherry red, but I haven't tried oil cooling just yet. And after all that, what on Earth is a habaki?

Can you make another blade just like that dimensionally but with regular d2 or 14c28n? Also with a full tang. Id probably buy it

I love Cold working copper and bronze, its weird until you get used to it but fun. I actually made some copper broadheads i used to take a deer with my atlatl during archery season.

If you want a full anneal don't dump it in the water. The slower you can cool the metal the more it will soften.

I usually toss mine out before it gets that dry aged flavoring.

looking good!

booo.......booooooooooooooo

Thank you man! I just went through 4 other videos of people demonstrating the green compound and they chatted it up and weren’t showing how to apply it or anything. I’m trying to polish my cars exhaust tips first time using a polish compound so I was just trying to see how it was done before I damaged my car ya know they are stainless steel so green is what I needed , I got some cheap harbor freight Stuff but it should be good enough for me. I just I’ll start polishing my knives afterwards to now might as well

You’re the best

new sub

?

Reminds me of the coldsteel outdoorsman lite

Niiiiice bro.

i always fog up

Nice!

That is me

We need part 5 pls

I’ve only seen annealing done in an electric kiln. I would have never thought to use 2 large pieces of steel to hold onto heat. That’s pretty smart.

that looked way easier that i thought it would be haha

Awesome! You're test proved absolutely nothing.

Hell yeah, lets go

U could like get a ballistic dummy or sum to see how effective ur tanto wouldve been back then at "retaining honor"

Thats sweet!

you have a very beautiful dog. I Have mine in the shop with me all the time as well.

Child labour!!! I love it!!! 😅

So glad you are ok! God bless you!

Went on a boyscout trip up northern pa. Trailer we stayed in was located in an old white pine grove. Wind storm blew half tree down closer than that next to trailer. Probably 30in. diameter. Would of cut trailer in half on end we were sleeping in. Nothing was ever mentioned to the parents. Lmao😂.

Justin glad you guys are ok. Hope you enjoyed the time otherwise.

I'd be more afraid of that big dead tree behind him

Yikes.

gotta go get that lotto ticket after that ❤ glad youre okay

Was hoping for much more curvature from the quench but over all a beautiful blade

It will keeeel 😂

Smooth! Nice quench.

Make another one of these, but turn that big ring on the end into a bottle opener!

I must be doing something wrong. I can’t figure out how to get a knife that sharp. Jeezopeet

How do you get that swooping grind? I saw on some of the other Ciscos that the grind even kinda follows the spine. I think it's such a cool look

historic weapon of central philippine natives

Damn that’s sharp

What fibre laser is this?

Goddamn man. That looks frickin awesome

You sir are an artist.

My chocolate lab comes with me to my insurance Agency every single day. He’s actually fantastic as a coworker - who can be mad about rates when they’re petting a dog?!

A question! Can you use warm light to take pictures, cause I think it will add a bit more character to the shots. Giving it a bit vintage style.... Jst a suggestion. ❤ From 🇮🇳

Quick tip. Your settings were 1/320 F2.8 IS0800. Don’t need that fast a shutter speed for non flash lights and on a tripod camera, so reduce it so you can reduce the ISO from 800 down to the base ISO of 100. Maybe increase the brightness of the lights to accommodate. Reduces noise in the image if you ever want to print big.

That's was actually very informative, thank you!
