CHALLENGE | Unknown Metal | Wakizashi My Way - Part 3! FINAL!

[@shellyknight636]

“Dope” BUSTED!! 🤪 You guys did a great job.

[@MichaelWallace-g9r]

Enjoyed watching part 2 and 3 of your wakazashi build. Turned out awesome. Am a bladesmith for hobby guy. First became aware of you on Forged in Fire episodes. Glad to actually watch you forge projects in your on shop. Might add that the Forged in Fire show is what inspired myself and friend to build our own forge. Once we saw how simple it was to get started we put put together some tools and started forging. Our first forge was the bottom of a BBQ grill. We added an air supply to it and charcoal was our fuel source, have up graded to propane forge and a 2x72 grinder. No power hammer or press. All done by hammer and anvil. Our first projects were forging tongs. Then forging tomahawk out of railroad sp8kes. Once I conquered that I moved on to blades. The Commanding officer of Seal Team Seven has one of my Tomahawks on his desk. From what I understand he was jazzed to win it at archery tournament raffle. Very thrilled to find out who won it. Anyway will continue to watch your videos and pick up more tips. Forge on!

Love your work Out of all the smiths on KZbin Your content is relaxed and humorous can’t wait for your next project

[@donmclauchlin1293]

Enjoy watching a true craftsman at work. It looks awesome!

[@nakinajay]

That’s a rail anchor. Used to keep the rail from moving back and forth on the ties. Looks like an an anchor for 100 Ib rail. Cool none the less.

[@nickpratt1380]

Such a badass.....the Blade and the Smith! Great Job Jason!

[@tonyb1184]

Stunning workmanship. I'm truly in awe man.

[@michaelrodriguez5829]

Amazing! Absolutely magical! What a work of art!

[@SCLEO1]

Really awe inspiring to watch you turn a railroad clip into something so elegant and leathal all at the same time. Watching all three parts makes you want to go to the shop and "Be a maker". As a fellow South Carolinian, thank you for your craftsmanship!

[@skipwatson5258]

What part of SC? I'm in Summerville.

[@SCLEO1]

@@skipwatson5258 just outside Columbia in Elgin

[@rodneylangstroth4577]

Awesome knife. Love the final finish and wrap. Please keep the videos coming 👍

[@josephjennings1753]

I am a beginner at bladesmithing and blacksmithing and have watched hours upon hours of videos and read mountains of books and articles but have learned more from watching your videos and listening to you. Thank ypu so much for the knowledge and inspiration. #beamaker

[@chasetoncain]

This is quickly and easily becoming my favorite KZbin channel, it’s awesome to find a maker with this amount of expertise and skill willing to take us along for the journey. Thanks for making such fantastic content

[@sonicboom5124]

The craftsmanship is never in-doubt, unknown metal, time, patience, hardwork and still a phenomenal looking and performing work of art at the end. Bravo Sir truly a Master Blade-smith. 👏🏻

[@jorojinnomad549]

Absolute beauty . Team work was cool... father son is a lost trade in itself... keep at it ... Setting a wonderful example and showing us great inspirational content!

[@JasonKnightMS]

Thanks man. I am blessed to have both of my children share a love for creating in the forge.

[@ragnarokbladeworks]

This was a fun journey! I love your philosophy "just get out there and make something" and that you offer up knowledge so freely. It's always a fun time watching your videos, and I always learn something. Thank you sir (and the whole crew there who make these vids possible)

[@allaboutfishing1699]

Stunning blade Jason. Real craftsmanship. Can't wait for the next project to start.

[@rodneyburke5835]

Enjoy your work as you love your work, I started Forging in Dec 26, 2021, I love it also, learning to pound steel, thank you Jason.

[@jimmynichols525]

Watched all 3 videos back to back, awesome work!! There is something magical/mystical about a Japanese style blade!!

[@craigb2816]

I had it in my head to take up knife/blade making and after watching this little series I have to say I am quite inspired. And i love the constant star wars references. You sir are informative and rather entertaining.

[@johncunnare4892]

5 out of 5!!! Black finish worked like a dream and the cutting is exquisite. Learning from ya Boss😎

[@xer0184]

another great blade , cant wait to see its bigger brother lol, good jobs guys and i really dig the father son collab.

[@hitchedpoppavsr9808]

Absolutely amazing love to watch you work you're magic!!

[@willd6515]

''See it and be inspired''.........I sure am, loved this 3 part serie. To make something of nothing, awesome. Grtz form the Netherlands.

[@johncruz2809]

Beautiful piece, sir you are truly a master of your craft

[@chathamknives1822]

Awesome video Sir. Great looking sword.. Really enjoy the repurposing aspect of this build.

[@fumastertoo]

Well that was just an awesome build to watch, fantastic!!

[@markosaric9994]

I do not subscribe to anything on youtube, only those i find superb and really worth my subscription. You good sir have surpassed my expectations and very much earned my subscription and like! Amazing job, insanely beautiful wakizashi, and most of all the best ever message "be a maker"! You have also earned my respect! Thank you!

[@wullgrew1]

Meeting you at Blade 2014 was one of the highlights of that trip. Your advice on edge geometry, and secondary bevels has served me well. Thanks, Jason.

[@robertgarza600]

Very nice. I like it. Great job. Continue being an inspiration to people to get out and make.

[@Anderson-HandForged]

jason i watched all 3 episodes from start to finish it came out great i really enjoy your videos and im trying to soak it all in for when i forge my blades thank you mark

[@cthulhuxxxgod666]

Awesome build would love one of these Wakasashi's it's beautiful, nice work💯%❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thefighterturgut]

When a master is the master & not only a word. Love it, Great job.

[@teamgodmode7197]

At this point I think we can all agree that Jason is the Bob Ross if knife smithing 😉😂 awesome build!!

[@timpetherick6696]

PLEASE keep doing these type of vids guys. There are that many KZbin “knife makers” out there I don’t know who to trust. Watching a PRO at it is perfect 👌

[@leonardmettlach2614]

Love the blade as always ,you are very inspiring thanks Jason and Tristan

[@lordfuzzybuns291]

It's inspiring to see actual bevels hammered in to the point that grinder work just tidies it up! I love the fact you named your power hammer "big blue”.

[@noahnipperus7320]

I think that is just the brand name... Super inspiring though

[@davidbarnes6316]

Great job, always enjoy your craftsmanship.

[@aaronconde0343]

Sweet wakizashi!! Love the video and the final product.

[@davidbrowne89]

excellent craftsmanship guys, huge thumbs up

[@jasonsalvador2380]

You are absolutely one of the best blade smiths I've ever had the pleasure of watching. You're awesome and look forward to seeing what else you do.

[@FARACI1]

Jason that is one of the most stunning wakizashi I have seen. It would be great to add that to my collection. Truly a work of usable art.

[@hussy210786]

Really enjoyed this 3 part challenge! Awesome work 👍

[@nicoleadams2241]

I've worked with that metal before it is hard and will hold an edge forever. The Black Sparrow is an awesome name and sounds like a really cool Irish pub. Great job

[@MisterManDuck]

You know, I don't think it can ever overstated how much the hilt gives a blade an identity.

[@brianrobertson4229]

the BLACK SPARROW, beautiful piece of work mr Knight ,a wish i could make something as great

[@dustyparsons63]

I finally did it! I went out and got some of what I consider essential tools for knife making and I’m halfway through with my first knife!!! Something about the way you feel about bladesmithing really resonates with me Jason. I’ve really gotta attend one of your classes.

[@net-twin-de]

@Jason Knight Nice that there are still people who want to get their hands dirty, which love to have fun and do great things. How boring our world would be without these creative people! I love to make rustic knives, a lot of copper & silver & etchings, pure manual work, you should see that the knives are done by manual work because I hate these machine-made knives, which are driven to perfection, and you can hardly determine whether they are cheap mass-produced goods from China or are created by a small shop with a CNC machine. For me, the soul of a blade must match the character of the owner with all their rough edges. As we say in Germany: "a man without a knife is a cripple without a soul". Many thanks to the "Kinght" family - please keep it up.

[@tobyharrison7208]

Enjoy watching! I’m a stone cutter by trade I shape limestone with chisels but you have inspired me to do something I’ve thought bout for years !blades !! Had passion for them as long as I can remember! Thanks and keep your bad ass videos coming!

[@razorbackoutdoorcompany4205]

Incredible series of movies! I like all , this waki is crazy ! Great job and work as usual Mr Knight, thank you very much for all of this!

[@pickens1207]

That is one of the coolest Wakisashi I have ever seen!!!

[@garyharmon1155]

That came out so cool, beautiful work.

[@rom14141]

Epic, the whole series. What an amazing way to bond with your son. I love the blade but enjoy your candor and the process even more. Thank you for sharing.

[@stevewalker6340]

Nice work Jason, nice take on a modern wakizashi.

[@nicktyger5718]

That turned out so unbelievably cool. You are one hell of a blade smith.

[@rosaurobucu4551]

Nice video jason. Finished all three. Thats how i plan it when i retire.

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

Now that is "DOPE"!!! Fr though man to make that from what it was is incredible and very inspirational.

[@deansmith514]

BLOODY AWESOMENESS. Love your work.

[@timothyfontenot9089]

Great job enjoyed watching to hole build and I’m going to go to the shop and try making me one , like always your inspiring.

[@snake2261]

Awesome piece! Very inspiring series!

[@willd6515]

One of the sickest blades I´ve ever seen. grtz from the Netherlands.......yep you´re world famous.

[@robertfoote131]

Absolutely beautiful blade! I'm working on a blade from a leaf spring next. Thank you for the videos they are very helpful.

[@legoking5499]

Thats a badass take on a wakizashi! Well done.

[@tim3437]

ive watched forged in fire backwards and forwards...so here I am! Great!

[@stephenafoss]

Greetings from Colorado. I find your videos to be very inspiring. I put them on while I'm working in the garage. I dont make blades yet but I want to build up to that. Right now, I primarily make layard beads, lanyards, wraps, and do some customizing on production folders. But I just want to say thank you for making and sharing. It helps keep me inspired and drives me to keep building and honing my skillsets, so again, THANK YOU.

[@ianmoz7313]

This is amazing Jason. Gives tons of inspiration to know that something as beautiful as that wakizashi can come out of a railroad clip. Keep on keeping on Mr. Knight. Keep up the great work!

[@BigEarlNeedsToSeeADragon]

WOW!! That is amazing. Great work!!!

[@rodolfosayaman4202]

Beautiful knife mr.jason knight,good job.

[@jocawalk]

Great job brother, really enjoyed watching these build videos 👊🏻👍🏻

[@redwolfknives3174]

Loved your three videos here! Bad ass skills! You’ve inspired me to give it a shot blade making. I didn’t realize the means to do this stuff was out there. Sorry I’m behind on watching your stuff but I promise I will catch up!

[@michaelsegerstrom4493]

You are truly an artist to me! I would love to learn how to forge a blade some day

[@erintobler7254]

Fantastic finish to that blade Jason! Got yourself a lifetime viewer here! Can't wait to see what's next, forge on!

[@salchristiano6606]

Amazing. I really appreciate the fact that you show the successes as well as the mistakes along the way. I tend to learn a ton from my mistakes (and there are a lot of them). I am a teacher stuck at home during this crazy time.... I started making knives about 2 years ago. The time at home has allowed me more opportunities in the shop. Hoping to finish my first dagger this week. Got a chance to get my daughter's beau in the shop to make 2 knives, I think he's hooked.

[@sberry80]

That came out dope as hell. Great piece jason.

[@jackanderson5316]

That was a bad azz blade im glad to have found ur channel my son and i are going to start making some blades thanx for the cool content

[@dominoperk2873]

[@Wolf-CanisLupus]

I watched all three videos, that is an awesome sword that inspires me to attempt the same, my hats off to you bro, great job! I hope to fair as well.

[@joeldayson63]

Beautiful Craftsmanship. Love the blade

[@phoenix5694]

[@bobhopkinsvalhalla1968]

Love the darkened blade shade. Awesome build Jason..!

[@daveintheshed4870]

Inspirational work there Jason!

[@ericmossberger9647]

Well Done!!!! To make that from the rail clip .... Amazing!!! The True Meaning of Being a Maker!!!! Much Appreciated

[@danielsaylor1619]

Beautiful work Jason I can't wait till I can start making blades myself. Hope to learn more about the craft through you and others keep up the awesome videos

[@ronny971000]

Awesome, just Awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@jonpaulison2283]

[@cjhill8636]

Tristen absolutely killed that wrap. DOPE video

[@travisbrenneman9262]

This turned out really awesome. I like the videos that show a step by step breakdown of the processes used.

[@jameshicks6526]

That looks so awesome. Great job.

[@fullmetalpenguin]

*Fantastic* series of videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrDarrellp]

Simply Beautiful, a functional work of art.👍

[@zacharyhollingsworth154]

I've been making knives for 30 years and that is by far the most awesome handmade I've ever seen and if I had the money to buy it from you I would be proud to own it

[@jkeips78]

I never really anticipate a KZbin video but your series, this one in particular, are something I really look forward to. Beautiful work on the blade, and equally impressive production from the crew. Thank you.

[@harryrobinson9367]

I think you used the right word to describe it... "DOPE" cause that's exactly what it is. Awesome work!

[@jeremybaker6308]

Drooling over here! Man that is a nice nice blade!

[@Dannymole09]

I wish I had a mentor like you in my early ages. Thanks for the videos sir you are very knowledgeable & wise! 👍👍

[@adamtaylor7415]

I am not a blade maker, however your videos are inspiring me to get back into making jewellery. Keep up the good work.

[@mattbrown5511]

A true master craftsman at work.

[@shafferrobtrucking4075]

Thats amazing man. Beautiful work. You said be inspired..I am..im tackling my first blade..a tanto style. Thanks for doing these videos..its not very often a master gives a sneak peak. I hang on every video for advice. Thanks again.
