They should do a Forged in Fired: Judges Edition.

[@MegaKencam]

That would be awesome!

[@patricka5037]

Great idea!

[@SuperDAZBEAN]

Yes just yes

[@matthewwestenberger8663]

who would judge the judges?

[@blueskeleton7744]

It will "Kill" (keeel)... Great idea, and bring back some contestants that remember j neilson bashing their blades to fail next tests.. and bash up his.. lol. And Doug just let him stab the shit out of the ballistics dummies as normal... let's see who crumbles under time pressure

[@xfighter3100]

His commentary is honestly me talking to myself when I work on cars

[@collecter137]

That's a sexy blade, regardless of the forge time. You taking lunch in the middle is such a power move and I respect that.

[@m.d.customs3751]

You're awesome Jason thanks for being you and my Facebook friend!!!

[@westieclo]

"I'm acting all calm right now but the last two hours I'm gonna get all crazy" proceeds to be calm the whole time. What a master of his craft. That was a joy to watch. Also, he seems like such a cool dude.

[@Raycefan]

Chris Lo I know Jason personally. He doesn’t get freaked out, at least not that I’ve ever seen. He is by far, one of the neatest guys on earth to talk to.

[@joestuttgen5058]

I would like to think that even if he was the only person in the shop, he'd still be talking to himself hahaha. So enjoyable to watch!

[@SavageCivilian3]

Bad to the bone. I need that. Jason and Winkler are my 2 GOATS. I will rep them till the day I die. True masters of their craft and so much more.

[@AVTeckie]

After binge watching a pile of Forged In Fire, this is really cool to see. I found your easy to reach short term floor storage technique especially instructive.

[@jorojinnomad549]

simply love the you you are! Keep on pushing the limits. I always learn lots and love the humour... !!!

[@trevwils6718]

Be good to see you tag a few smiths, get the 4 hour challenge going. If it wasn't already, it should now be considered set. Great video.

[@sudo_nym]

I like Jason's irreverent style. A wrap of joking around, but with a core of seriousness. A san mai approach!

[@jasrobsny]

Yeah Jason is a based guy and he has an excellent name too.

[@InspectorJeremy]

Need more of Jason Knight and his chattering. Love it!

[@faheemhartley6191]

hey Jason, i like they way you remained cool throughout.

[@patespressohead2031]

You are an incredible forger .....four hours and made it easily .

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

I like that we finally get to see his personality. Love his sense of humor.

[@johnakers5526]

Awesome to watch a master smith working under time constraint and see what you come out with.

[@rollingthunder277]

This is first time I have watched a Jason video. On FIF, I come away with the impression of a man devoid of a sense of humor. I'm glad to see I was wrong.

[@simple8651]

Very cool. I mean your style. And your skill is beyond skill. It’s masterful. Thank you.

[@markusbourne7699]

Insane. Beautiful. You make it look so easy.

[@sadmule]

Really cool shape and finished build. Made it look fairly simple from great planning and a lot of experience. Glad I found your channel as enjoyable vids and enjoy the banter that shows how much you enjoy what your doing. Looking forward to more!

[@calebbrazeau4597]

Jason Knight, Excellentay. The Man with a Plan. Knight Saber. thanx a bunch.

[@thefrefdood4775]

before i started blacksmithing i would have looked at 4 hours and like some of you i would have thought "ez W'' but after taking 10+ hours of hard ass work to pound round stock into a ok-ish scythe i have a whole new appreciation for this.

[@Yukon12gauge00buck]

A beast. Love the format of the show. Love to see you have 2 days and what you would come up with.

[@toddrobison8929]

Exactly how a master Smith should be. Cool, calm, and collective

[@trollforge]

@2:46 I was 1/2 expecting Wil Willis to scream "Gentlemen your design period is now over!"

[@redlionforge9173]

Hanging out with Jason Knight for one day would be the most mind blowing experience! Haha

[@zaneamberbeard135]

I was lucky enough to talk to him for a few minutes at blade show last year. What was awesome to me is that he approached me, not the other way around. I didnt want to bother him. He gave me some very solid advise on power hammers.

[@redlionforge9173]

This craft has some really good people within it. I’ve been making things with my hands since I was a kid but after my 10 years in the Army I found Blacksmithing/bladesmithing I knew I found my forever home. I’m 35 but I look up to guys like Jason that so passionately advocate for the prestige of being a maker.

[@zaneamberbeard135]

I totally agree with you. This craft is full of makers that actually enjoy helping other makers so we can all learn from each other. I've been smithing for 3 years and one of the highlights so far has been talking to Jason.

[@jimsargent7619]

The ease with you work clearly indicates your experience with the entire process. As you said have a plan and follow it smoothly. Your no nonsense way about handling the steel is something to behold. I hear your jokes and see you dance but the the master craftsman cannot hide when you're working the material. A pleasure to watch, thank you for creating the video.

[@timdoughty4642]

Love watching a professional at his craft show you how to do it!

[@nathandrushinin1072]

So glad you’re posting videos. Miss seeing you on forged in fire.

[@jamesjenkins7085]

I like that the power hammer was synced to the "hey".

[@judsonmiers1315]

Greatest knife ever? No...A knife I would bet my life on and one I would be proud to own / love to own? ABSOLUTELY...Thank you for bringing us along for the making of this. Definitely inspiring and great to watch a master plying his craft.

[@valentineknives9936]

Just "dinking" around for four hours and turned out a rad knife! Thanks for the great lesson, keep them coming.

[@MrFaustorosa]

Thanks Jason Knight for sharing the knowledge, I am from Brazil and enjoy your video

[@johnnygoins7457]

Very informative. I enjoy your tutorial showmanship while you are making a blade.

[@oldredneckhillbilly7800]

You have some unbelievable skills

[@fizzix4]

Just fun to watch what you can accomplish when you have 30,000 + hours of experience. Love the blade.

[@thomasmcnab5068]

Hi Jason.,..great video!...we miss you on Forged in Fire!...Take care brother!

[@littlejohnny4470]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! Cool Host!! Cool Jams!! Cool Knife!!

[@diegobom1]

Un maestro... Senza perdere troppo tempo crea un piccolo gioiello

[@jasonheflin3999]

I love watching people who are great at what they do work! This is awesome

[@MrPhoenix0701]

sweet Knife... !! much more entertaining than some competition show.....

[@timothyshaw5498]

Pleasure to watch you work.

[@SodaCityWerx]

I'm also a fellow south Carolinian who is getting into the art of Dinking around with steel. I'm glad I found your Channel I am learning a lot !

[@johnathanflannagan2407]

I swear to god if Forged in Fire was just a Jason Knight show I wouldn't be mad.

[@jackhetherington2291]

That is an incredibly beautiful knife. He’s such a beast with a style all his own. 🔥🔥

[@jessekarr9219]

You made dancing with hot steel look easy. Well done.

[@Andy-in5yn]

Just stumbled onto your channel and all I can say is that is an awesome blade for 4 hours.......you truly are a Master.

[@jareddaniels6352]

I watched a video about how forged in fire was too hard to do in 6 hours, and you did it in 4. That's too funny.

[@philbrownsey-hughes2793]

Away from the restraints of Tv! This is the man i thought you were! Gifted and human! Not a machine!

[@jolt06]

I'm learning something new every video I watch.

[@TorturedSoul76]

That was badass

[@seanwilliamlinton2932]

Amazing as always keep the videos coming get to laugh and learn 👍👍👊

[@chriscolwell2691]

Very cool.....thanks for sharing. Something very powerful about crafting something that can literally last a life time...my 87 yr old dad has left a legacy in wood working and masonry for his family and friends...it really makes me appreciate the talent and craft that others possess.

[@ernestbryant2561]

I just made my first knife it's a railroad spike knife just wanted to say you and the show forged in fire inspired me and thank you for all these great lessons

[@brianstockmyer8186]

You make this stuff look easy.

[@asmirdragonjic]

Something so fascinating watching a master at work. Great job.

[@BSpeakman80]

Awesome, glad you are on youtube.

[@TheMongo1357]

Outstanding design and size! Fun watching you work this blade! Keep them coming.....

[@grahamparr4710]

Shows up the the guys on forged in fire, no moaning and excuses here, job done no fuss no bother.👍👍👍👍

[@greghenson254]

I miss you on the show, I like the other guys on there also. It always seemed like you pulled for the smiths in a different way. When J. Nielson would see a flaw he would try to destroy it. You always seemed to be more fair. All that aside i did not realize how Zen and chill you are. It is a pleasure to watch you work and overcome the challenges that pop up. Like going to a coffin shape when you realized it was going to be a wrap. Definitely the "Bob Ross" of master smithing.

[@firestorm7296]

Great video. Shows how even under a time constraint you don't need to freak out! Think of the process...... do your work. Issues will always arise. Think outside the box get it done. Thanks for taking us to your home Forge.

[@jimludwig7231]

Fantastic video, friggin hilarious. Great work, thanks Jason.

[@michaelmills9796]

That's a beast of a knife. Love it.

[@citycat2729]

I would use that knife on all my camping trips for sure

[@zaneamberbeard135]

I love the fact that you can do this in 4 hrs. I can barely get a blade forged and heat treated in 3. Impressive though. Thanks for taking us along Jason.

[@JohnZoidberg83]

"Yeah, I say it's exactly that size" *Drops the hot knife on the drawing and burn through it.

[@Prander5x5]

You were a great judge on the show! Hope that's not all in the past. Couldn't subscribe to this channel fast enough. :D Woot!

It is amazing how many mistakes you have to make to get to this level of knife making. I love the trick with the letter.

First video I watched and it won me over. Great stuff

This one of my favorite videos ever that you’ve made. I like the general spirit throughout.

Awesome! Great job Mr. Knight

[@scubafldude]

I am a 57 year old NOOB who got bit by the bug watching forged in fire. My forge is almost done have he tongs, hammers and anvil with enough desire for 2 people. Thank you for taking the time for these videos. Enough watching... let me go pound some steel.

My favorite judge, and always wanted to see a judge attempt their own challenge, and Jason does it in even less time plus lunch! Fucking bad ass, and sick looking knife.

[@billwright2963]

A true master craftsman and artist! Really impressed by the economy of motion and seemingly effortless movements. What a beautiful piece of functional art.

[@nateand3]

Man I love it. Pretty unbelievable for 4 hrs. I'd use it around my place all the time

Thanks Jason!

Awesome knife in 4 hours for sure!

Just started to watch Jason his no bull attitude is really cool his knifes are some of the best I’ve seen hope to lurn a lot more watching his skills come to life. 👍🏻
