Hey y'all if you want to see more IN DEPTH techniques head over to my website and check out my Online Course - www.knightforgestudio.com

[@SDMacMan]

Beautiful and functional. What size is that blade? 7"?

[@HDBrown-wc9xt]

I love watching knife making, but Jason’s jokes and other commentary is a must. Please have narration next time!

[@LycaonsMemories]

or at least music

[@dustymcwhorter7625]

Very nice! Have you or can you do a short video on how you do your makers marks on your blades? Thx

[@ismaelmorenogiron1294]

I am deeply sorry for my following comment, please forgive my language, in advance. It's f-word awesome, I'm an amateur in cuisine, I wish I had the money that this knife costs, it's worth every dollar. When you were polishing the blade you could see that the knife is flexible enough for a chef's work. It's a wonderful job. Thanks

[@hipjazzbone]

DAYUM! That was a gorgeous knife even before the etch!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

WOW WOW WOW in my 77 years l have never ever seen any kind of....Knife blade sword ax or any kind of knife for that matter....That even comes close to the beautiful and craftmanship of this level.....What a thing of beauty ....Thanks so very much....My hat is off to you sir....!

[@ORflycaster]

Stunning as usual Jason. You’re definitely fueling the craftsman desire with a few of us out here!

[@jwilson3103]

I want to be like you when i grow up!!!! You make it look so easy

[@nobodyimportant69]

I'm speachless!!! Okay, but you know what I mean. It's a beautiful work of art and whoever the lucky chef is that buys this knife will have an heirloom to pass on to the next generation. Fantastic!!

[@zivac1976]

Amazing . It’s always a pleasure to watch you creating beautiful piece of art. Thank you for sharing

[@ronamedee2475]

Beautiful tool man ! That blade "pop's" out at you. Handle selection is spot on. The 4 wheel attachment with it's backer belt is interesting, It adds a little more support than a slack belt but less than the platten. Thanks for posting

[@michaelfrisko9614]

I'm new to watching your channel and i'm absolutely in awe of your work!! Amazing!! Beautiful! I've never worked with metal...I usually work and create with wood. You've definitely inspired me! Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge. Keep it up! Some day I WILL have one of your knives.

[@jamesmontgomery6343]

Incredible work. I've learned a lot in the last year or so, and I feel like I make good knives but it's crazy seeing how much better some people are and it makes me excited that I still have so much to learn.

[@charlesmartin6633]

Beautiful knife impressive work. Thanks for sharing.

[@josecanalesneira]

Beautiful job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Hermoso trabajo Jason

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Beautiful blade, Jason! Nice looking pattern.

[@anthonystrunk5360]

Beautiful knife!

[@alfredobozzo986]

Absolutely stunning! I can see how you hate to grind and sand, but your so damn amazing at it 😊

[@KnifemakMike]

That knife is magnificent!

[@colonelklink82]

Beautiful knife love your work as always

[@devildog37]

I could watch you create everyday thanks for the awesome distraction from our countries woes thanks.for keeping sane during troubling times

[@TwiztidPain]

I love how you do everything with a passion

[@alansandom5057]

Work of art for sure 👏👏👏

[@doubleoddbuck00]

Always amazed at your metal work, but the handle selection made this beauty PoP!!!

[@DisgruntledGrunt]

Absolutely stunning as always. Thank you for all the great content. I learn something new from every video of yours I watch. Keep up the great work!

[@philochristos]

That really came out nice, and it was fun to watch.

[@erkeltree]

Beautiful, definitely not a forged in fire 3 hour special. I would think it works as great as it looks. Masterful job.

[@michaelevans7013]

Stunning stunning it is so great watching a master at his trade

[@andrewsturgill6374]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the pattern and the profile! Sweet knife!

[@geoffcarter8]

Absolutely stunning work Mr Knight!

[@dprofessor3238]

Fit and finish seems a lot like cooking and cheffing...you stand in one place for a long time😁. Beautifully gorgeous piece. The handle shape is real interesting with the wide end. I'd be super interested in putting it through the paces. My knife is pretty much in my hand 8 hours a day. Since pros choke up on the handle I'd also be interested in how it is against a "chefs callous". Plus the sped up voice over is pretty funny

[@terrytaylor9206]

Thank you so much for posting this. Beyond inspiring. What I make is very far below what you are making. But I keep on going back at it every day and perhaps one day, I will be happy with the thing I've made. Ehhh, probably not. But I keep at it. Thank you for giving us plodders something to aspire to.

[@42icee]

Gorgeous, functional art! Those 3 videos could have been a second forged series, I have so many questions lolol. As always thanks for posting

[@A1B8C]

Work of art

[@chrispollock1826]

Wow that turned out amazing!

[@craigclark2639]

beautiful kitchen knife! will be attempting my second one after your course.

[@TheBearcat1957]

Beautiful!

[@fernandoraschedamotta7518]

An amazing piece of art!!!

[@vincenttimbalier7842]

I "like" before pressing "play" ... let's go!!!

[@soulslay3r360]

Superb.

[@stephenrock-wc6xt]

Very nice brother!!! 💪👊🔪🍻

[@tonyb1184]

Absolutely stunning Chef's knife. As an ex Chef I'd be happy to have that in my knife roll.

[@robertokpo6761]

Excelente maestro saludos desde Argentina

[@northmanlogging2769]

so freckin cool... love me some time lapse

[@akumushikyo]

Love the content, it's amazing getting to watch you turn nothing into something, and I enjoy just listening to you go off on random rants (If that's what you would consider them.) P.S., Is dude in the background at 1:06 wearing an Alec Steele sweater?

[@jasonknight8647]

Yes that’s Free Hill Blades Look up on KZbin and Instagram

[@TomofAllTrades]

Nice video series. After the final sanding, the whole blade goes into the ferric chloride etch ( wood handle and everything)?

[@jefflavenau]

Love it! Did you decide part way through that you didn't want the handle facets anymore and just ground them out, or were they always part of your process of getting the rounded shape you wanted from the beginning?

[@jasonknight8173]

Jeff Lavenau It’s just part of the process thanks for asking

[@darrensomerton2405]

Wow, just Wow 😮

[@Vormulac1]

Just stunning. How long was this project? I envy the chef that gets to use that beauty!

[@kepiblancrm]

Bravo!!!!

[@johnnyedgmon6679]

What would one of your chefs knife cost a fellow. I guess I should ask if they are even available? Beautiful knife by the way.

[@jeverettrulz]

a great video and amazing blade per usual. but 10,000 railroad spike knives???

[@daltong6898]

Hey brotha, long time watcher first time commenter, absolutely love your work, its incredibly inspirational and you are what's really made me make the jump from a spectator to getting my hands dirty! Thank you! I have a question tho, I see you using the 4 wheeled attachment on the grinder quite a bit and was curious what exactly it is? What purpose does that serve over a standard platen attachment or contact wheel?

[@lukepbriggs6225]

Awesome 😎

[@Glokta4]

Is there anything special that needs to be done for the care of a damascus blade compared to a normal blade?

[@ashtonbreukelman7355]

Yeah, a Damascus knife is more likely to rust if not taken care of

[@jacobtgomes]

Holy crap wow!

[@johngraves1216]

so sick..i wish i could afford one of these bad boys

[@feacsdoctor8817]

Hey Jason just wondering what grit belt you take it up to when doing the first sharpen on your knife? and was that a leather stropping belt or am I mistaken? I'm really enjoying watching these videos, it would be great if you kept doing them!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Price tag on that beauty?

[@brianwiggins2169]

Probably more than a thousand but it would be worth it

[@jamessanchez494]

Love the knife, not fond of the fast-forward videos but over all great work!

[@johnf7137]

Slowed down I think the audio indicated hard work equals hard result. I want that knife.

[@alexandru_draghiceanudragh4801]

Superb

[@davidmedd8573]

All I have to say is. Holy shit that’s awesome.

[@lightinsb21]

Dope!

[@chrishope82666]

Great blade. Any suggestions on your belt purchases.

[@Thaelore]

What's to difference between a flat platen, and a rotary platen?

[@nofran879]

Beautiful,

[@widneyburton1077]

What is that raised pattern grinding belt? Idk what to even call that for reference

[@lancemillward1912]

Not too shabby

[@terryatherton2881]

WOW !

[@jethead]

I'll take it.

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

What type of face mask/filter do you use? Anthony

[@diegoborba7422]

Top Top

[@stizan24]

How are you supposed to get mayonnaise out of the jar with that? I mean it is exquisite, but I would still have to spread that Hellman’s with my finger.

[@jasonknight8647]

Helmans? Are you kidding you know the only one is Dukes what’s your problem anyway lol 🤪

[@alexandru_draghiceanudragh4801]

What is the best steel for knife?

[@Nate0165]

Whats the music at the beginning and end???

[@overlandsouth6715]

💯% Badass

[@JasonKnightMS]

Hey thanks for watching Ben

[@overlandsouth6715]

I've watched a metric ton of KZbin videos when my knife making journey began ,but I realized early on who to pay attention to and who to dismiss lol I feel I've learned a lot from you already . Your master status is well deserved my friend 👏 as a fellow South Carolina native I would like to extend my gratitude for making no BS content that even a newbie such as myself can follow ! Keep that Beastie Boys song playing in your head , and hammer on !!

[@ajmilano109]

I would REALLY like to know what that knife costs , I would think about $1,000.00 , maybe more !

[@BlueEternities]

Is it even possible to buy one like this from you?

[@JasonKnightMS]

We're working on a "Knife Club" where things like these will be auctioned.

[@BlueEternities]

@@JasonKnightMS Hell yeah. I'm a bit nervous about what kinda numbers I'll be contending with to be honest. This one here is absolutely perfect. I'm a cook and it would be an incredible honor to have such a blade.

[@BlueEternities]

@@JasonKnightMS Also no better way to leave your mark on the world than to proliferate your fine craftsmanship far and wide. ;-)

[@jefflavenau]

@@BlueEternities definitely in the multi-thousands for individual knives

[@chadmanning9655]

I'd love to buy one like this, I'm a professional chef and a custom knife maker (not as good)

[@ninjagenjin9510]

Wow beautamiss🌹

[@muhammadhusen1432]

Baguus

[@GRITHEMAN]

Knifegasm...

[@jujijime]

But... will it keeeeellll?

[@robertduguay689]

Beautiful knife but very hard to sit through that video.

[@paullmight42]

she's purty

[@stokermeister3]

Sounds strange with the talking sped up sounds like something Martian 👽

[@ddksmp]

Big deal, I could do that. ( if I were God)
