[@AlecSteele]

SO MUCH FUN!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

The most fun!!! Also I think we should really consider starting a cooking show together...

[@pingu99991]

Did they come all this way to make a knife that's illegal over here? Alec, how do our super controlling laws effect what you can do with what you make?

[@jmakes3745]

Phillip - the knife isn't illegal, it just can't be carried by anyone in public that doesn't have a 'good reason' & the same applies for making other knives. Alec can pretty much make whatever he wants to long as it isn't a specific illegal knife such as gravity knives, ballisongs etc...

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

philip james we were in town for the collab and a conference. Made sure not to actually be carrying the knife - only had it out in the shop, and was packed away in our suitcase for transit back home

[@mgreene1409]

The end of the video was hilarious! I loved it!

[@Tradekraft]

The irony of making a beautiful lock back pocket knife in England where they are illegal to have in public. Fantastic work!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha I know right? Luckily we got it back home safely!

[@45obiwan]

Of all the people Alec has done collaberations with, I think this is the best.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you!! We really had a blast working together!

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

It must be a lot of fun to be tinkering with someone who knows more about a thing than you do and is up for all the video making shenanigans you can think of :) I just now realised that, while your videos are very refined in terms of production (cut, music choice and so forth) they feel like old school youtube, when people were mainly in it for the fun of it... that is beautiful! There is so much joy here

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It's so much fun! We learned a ton and Alec is hilarious so there was much goofing off and shenanigans too :D I'm glad that you like the feel of our videos! Having fun and being able to capture and share that is one of our top priorities - we wanna show that making stuff doesn't have to be serious and it's ok if you're learning/messing up as you go!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

SO GORGEOUS. Video doesn't even do it justice when you've seen it in person!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you Joel!!!! So glad we were able to bring it for a show and tell!

[@shayanirenberg3294]

Best collaboration I’ve seen on KZbin. So funny and so entertaining

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much!

[@corvinharvey5580]

the face he made when he said "i love hand sanding," is so precious

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😂👍

[@Makebuildmodify]

Oh man! Such a great video! I laughed so hard at the "Cooking with E K A".

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!! Haha glad we could cause a little lol!

[@AKeshaist]

I really appreciate you putting in a lot of the science that Alec was saying, I've been really into knife videos lately but this was the first one I saw that really explained the whole reasoning behind things like normalizing

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! We tried to include bits here and there when we could. The normalizing process was fascinating!

[@SayderCascading]

Parents: "Don't run with scissors" Evan, Katelyn & Alec: **dances and flails with knives**

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

🤣👏

[@larsdeboer3599]

I've literally watched this entire video with a big smile on my face. Your style of video creation is amazing and the end product looks amazing as well. Stay awesome!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! That makes us happy to hear!

[@jmakes3745]

So much screaming in one video, haha! & I think Evan summed this project up perfectly when he said 'I'm already pretty proud' :) Seriously guys this came out amazing, I loved how the damascus looked with the black handles!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, we were definitely not a quiet group of people... 😋 thank you!! We love how it turned out too!

[@dolphin64575]

2000 grit sandpaper omg and I thought 600 was fine! The fact that the knife is so sharp you don't even need to hold the other side of the paper is blowing my mind.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It's pretty insane!

[@veebeelights]

I love that Alex matches your excitement level! It's so nice to see people having so much fun making stuff

[@Harxey128]

10:27 look at Alec's actual workman's hands against the others😂😂😂

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

the hands of a blacksmith!!!

[@angelaricks5379]

It is so great to see Katelyn participating and enjoying her time with the guys. Thank you!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Wouldn't miss it!

[@CCWSig]

I'm not a fan of collaborations on KZbin, but this one I throughly enjoyed. Kept me smiling the whole time.

[@b3njo.40]

actually watching alec`s videos a lot ... and this is one of the goddamn cutest videos i`ve ever seen

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

thank you! it was fun to capture a bit more of the behind the scenes of our project with Alec :)

[@lilpixie25]

the energy in this video is phenomenal :3

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁❤️

[@JackboMack]

Chins of concentration! 😂

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

you need at least 3 chins to properly focus!

[@JackboMack]

EvanAndKatelyn noted! This will help with finals next semester!

[@BrandonsBees]

I want more of this stuff. 3D printing is good, but this is GREAT.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks!! We are already looking into making a mini forge and a welder... we want to do more metal working!!

[@boarderlandcreations5958]

When teasers of this project started appearing on Instagram, I was thoroughly uninterested, but here at the end I found myself rooting for you guys so hard! All of you did so good.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! Our goal is to try to make our videos are entertaining enough that someone can be totally uninterested in the thing we're making and still find them enjoyable

[@jessecarman5291]

These guys should collab more. Their goofy energies compliment each other perfectly

[@WorksbySolo]

This is my new FAVORITE video of yours! Everything about it is awesome. I love the beauty shot montage, especially. That knife is gorgeous!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you Bernie!!! That's a big compliment! We wanna try to get better at taking enough beauty shots to do the finished piece justice instead :D

[@MagicBaking]

I love that Alec could get out all his silly here, a great collab

[@noiamhippyman]

Dude if anything in this video deserves a like, it's the 2000 grit wipe reveal. Holy heck that was nice.

[@sirtblairjr]

Hey Alec, you should put that knife in your production line of Damascus knives. Maybe with different handles.. O. I would get one or two?

[@noahgraham5912]

*Watching EandK* Their neighbours must hate how loud they are. *Watching Steele* Oh God no those poor neighbours. *Watches them together.* Dont ever leave that workshop. You. Will. Get. Murdered

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😂😂

[@havencook8200]

Wow, such personalities! These are the types of people you want to surround yourself with.

[@mickey7660]

You two are so fun to watch, I wish my wife and I got along with the Interests like the two of you.

[@jordanmc9015]

I love the fact that you are really paying attention to his instructions. not just going through the motions... kudos

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Wanted to absorb as much knowledge as we could 😁😁

[@dylanyates5165]

I only discovered you guys a few weeks ago, but I’ve been a huge fan of Alec for so long, so it was amazing to see you guys collab with him! He’s a top bloke, and turns out he and I both built our forges with burners from the same supplier! Absolutely gorgeous blade guys, would love to see you guys try your hand at some smithing projects in the future to mix with your regular stuff :)

[@vidhoard]

I need more Alec Steele and E&K collabs this instant!!!! ;)

[@ProjectPeachy.]

I only just found E and K but I've been subbed to Alec for a long time, He has so much personality that when he's alone he fills out the whole room, and when he's with others he overflows onto them and just brings out the absolute best side of everyone.

[@darenallisonyoung8568]

I love how utterly fearless y'all are!

[@ohiothegreat5382]

Attention to detail and production quality is impeccable well done friends :)

[@e75channel]

I watch Alec series first and now I am following this because of the 3d printing.. awesome.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Glad you're liking the series!

[@senjos4805]

You guys for sure make the best videos here on KZbin!!!!!! WOW!!! It's a dream to watch them!!!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you so much! Glad you like them!

[@lunazwerenz5827]

That knife is a beautiful design, and the Dama steel is amazing, the only gripe I personally have is that its lock back, not my favorite to use. the thumb "things" are called thumb studs. Amazing work!

[@Givulinovich]

The videography is really visually engaging.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much!

[@TylerBelll]

SUCH A GORGEOUS VIDEO. This was so much fun. I don't think I stopped laughing the entire time. You guys are the perfect collab.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much!!!! This was such a blast and we're glad you like the video!

[@tinkeringrocks]

That was a treat to watch! Thank you E, K, & A!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Glad you liked it!

[@ShadowVipers]

5:50 "Oh my God! This is terrifying!!!", You guys are so funny! :P

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁😁😁😁

[@doughenning4899]

Such a large piece of Damascus for such a small blade👍👍👍cheers

[@celloafterdark4173]

This project was incredible!!!!

[@richardmartin1506]

Watched on Both your channel and on Alec's Channel. The 3 of you are just nuts, in a fun way. That is one beautiful knife.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! Haha we had a lot of fun together and there was much shenanigans going on. Glad you like the knife!

[@DarinBeard]

You guys were made to collaborate with each other. So funny. The knife is gorgeous.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, we had so much fun working together. Glad you like the knife too!

[@PJGalati]

The entire video was totally enjoyable, but THE VERY END had me laughing out loud! The blacksmith in his natural habitat.... the sniffing and then the barking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All three of you guys are the best.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha yay!! Thanks for sticking it out til the end!!

[@ZaksGrimoires]

Not me only just seeing this AMAZING collab and singing along with the Dykem song

[@reez5894]

You guys are full of happiness and its joyful to watch. Its so cool to think that the way you two bond with each other is making all this cool stuff and having fun doing it and I cant wait for more videos in the future. 💖

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aww thank you so much! We feel really lucky that we get to do this together! 😁😁

[@FigmentsMade]

So much fun and such a gorgeous knife too! I'm sorry to see this series end!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

No worries!! We have a few more projects around the knife coming soon :D

[@FigmentsMade]

EvanAndKatelyn Yay!!

[@SarahSmith-iy6tk]

You guys are awesome and so dramatic and silly. I love It!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@micheal2458]

This makes me ache for being in maker spaces with open and welcoming people! 😭💜

[@TheFlutterQueen]

Why are you going to makerspaces? We're in the middle of an epidemic

[@ereshkigalinanna6646]

You’re all delightful 10/10

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@h7opolo]

what a journey. beautiful prize.

[@zex69]

Still one of the best crossovers ever

[@JonnyBuilds]

Sweet knife, y'all!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks Jonny!

[@ginarojas6167]

That was gorgeous!!!

[@emotisean]

WOOOO BABY!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁😁😁

[@JohntheSchreiner]

It's cool seeing the identical project in 2 different video styles.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Glad we were able to capture a different side of it/different perspective :D

[@thomascarruthers3980]

Good of the land sent me! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! Thank you so much, so glad you're liking the videos. And good luck on your DIYs!

[@astraldragon01]

You can tell Alex had way too much fun with this project

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We all had a lot of fun, it was an awesome few days in the shop 😁

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Words cannot describe how fantastic this video was! The absolutely amazing knife aside, this was absolutely fantastic!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! It's one of our favorite videos!

[@isaiahalbert1801]

[@ohiothegreat5382]

Thanks guys. This was so much fun to watch.

[@erm7091]

I knew that Alec Steel would be on this channel somewhere, well I didn’t necessarily KNOW, but, I FOUND IT!!!!!!! GO BRITANNNNNN!

[@georgeshaw8276]

Good of the land loves you guys. They are live now.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

[@TheRealUch]

Hi, here from the Steele army, you guys really are awesome : )

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

[@ChippedBuilds]

That looked like such a fun time and the knife looks freaking amazing!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!!! It was such a fun collab!

[@CrossCutCreations]

Knife making looks like so much fun, but so above my skill level. Awesome job!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was above our skill level too haha! But super fun

[@stephgiersz1655]

I love the build up and excitement for a knife! So adorable you guys!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! After 3 days, we were definitely excited!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Way to go guys, that knife came out awesome looking. It's beautiful but deadly at the same time. Great job EvanAndKatelyn

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! We love how it turned out too!

[@CyrusTabery]

Yalls cuteness level is beyond compare. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks again!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

D'aww shucks, thanks!! Glad you liked the video!

[@BlazeRKGK]

Knowing that E&K don't edit out some of their failed attempts, I actually get emotionally invested with the process cos there's the possibility that at any moment they could actually mess up the entire thing

[@BEElaine1008]

BEAUTIOUS!!!

[@BertieEdwardVII]

Ur editing style just makes it so fun

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!!!

[@johnhamilton6591]

Awesome job. The pattern looks amazing.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

This is such an awesome collaboration. All three of your personalities combine so well on screen, props to you guys for keeping the videos so fün! 👊

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!!! We had a blast working together - Alec's a really fun guy!

[@Zogg1281]

You guys work really well with Alec, he falls into your sence of humour so easily 😊 Well done on the knife btw. It looks awesome and I'm sooooo jealous...... it's a good jealous though 😁

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks! We really had such a blast working together, we were like three peas in a pod.

[@Zogg1281]

EvanAndKatelyn lol I know, you should see if Alec is up for some more wook together on a more regular basis 😊
