You have great videos, and I’m sure you read the comments. If I could suggest something. Try recording in the horizontal position instead of the portrait mode. That way you fill the entire screen instead of using only 30% of the screen for your video and experiment with the wider lens. Again Great Videos

Hello I started cold process of knife making from file, I grinded I shaped I cutted but when I tried to drill holes was impossible... The file is too hard. How did you made the holes, did you use special drill ? Or you first heated back the file ?

I'd watch you put handles on all those knives, but I'm a bit of a sicko so there will probably only be me and a handful of the old die-hards that'd watch it Its probably the same with grinding, I take a great deal of pride in making a very good geometry because its absolutely everything that makes a knife, but it takes a while and not what the FiF generation thinks making knives is about so they're not going to watch that either. Not to be completely f'ing useless for ideas- you have the steak knife, but do you have the rest of the BBQ set? The fork, the flipper, the tongs, spatula and the press. Just as an 'added value' I think you should do some more close-in focus on the anvil and hammer work. That will mean getting someone to run you camera and zoom it in and out between heat n beat cycles so I dunno if you can 'convince' wife or children to work as camera operators
