Making The Alaskan Moose Hunter

[@lukelofgren4108]

Hey hey! You did a video of the knife for my boss! I'm glad to be able to see it made and even more glad i could introduce him to your work. I guarantee this knife will be covered in moose blood this September. Side note, i just forge welded an 80crv2 bit into a 6lb 4142 speed felling/ splitting axe. My biggest axe so far. Keep up the good work!

[@FireCreekForge]

Yes sir, thanks for the referral! That's a big axe, neat project!

[@bbrachman]

I am a very big fan of you video 'explanation' style. Even though I do not forge, I enjoy watching. Understanding each process is really the key to my enjoyment. You give me just the right amount of explanation and reasons for your processes. Thanks.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you I appreciate it

I’ve been saying this is the knife makers bill nye

[@geraldstamour1312]

Hella dope knife, @FireCreekForge! Now it needs an equally dope sheath to go with it!

[@brysonalden5414]

As always, impeccable work and beautiful results.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir

[@randylippert6416]

I appreciate your craft and care to detail, nice Barlow 👍👍

[@lukelofgren4108]

I like seeing the tang go into the brass guard. It really makes it look like an even tighter fit.

[@benmcdonnell139]

Beautiful design I enjoyed watching you do a walk through of a stock removal blade Very helpful

[@FireCreekForge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@minnesotatomcat]

Could have used a bit of moose stag for the handle! Nice blades, they will skin 👍

[@FireCreekForge]

That's a good idea.

[@thetinkerist]

A beauty, great seeing you at it, thx for the video!

[@FireCreekForge]

You bet, thanks for the support

[@DavidEricWilliams]

Another great knife. fun to see the "other" way to make a knife.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@derick4774]

Good looking knife there. I am sure they will do the well.

[@longbo2771]

Just gorgeous 😮

[@valleybarbell]

Beautiful build!! Thanks

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@dgundeadforge17]

Your channel has helped me with figuring out the balance of forging and stock removal.

[@loyd5074]

Nice I like your work

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@paulthetrain2641]

Love the way the bottom guard turned out with the tang going into it

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I noticed that you were wearing a sweater, I thought you were far enough into S Tex that you wouldn’t need it, maybe not. Nice knife it’ll do it’s job. Thank you Sir for this video

[@FireCreekForge]

You bet, thanks for watching! It gets a little chilly here at times

[@billhatcher2984]

If you make a quarter in. scraper that is square it's easier to scrape the solder even if you use a utility blade

[@lairdcummings9092]

*VERY* nice. A functional blade profile, not flashy, just workman-like and useful. This is the kind of blade I would buy and use; sure, there are plenty of lovely blades out there, but this one speaks to *me.*

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@AIGUM.S]

Хорошая работа!

[@johnniecameron8829]

Very nice

[@kennymcpherson4850]

Nice work, I've learned a couple things 👍, THANKS

[@chrisb5986]

Those are gorgeous. Hopefully they show up on the site soon.

[@kennethomeara9848]

Nice work. The soldering is similar to what Bob Loveless did.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! Yes sir, also similar to Randall knives. Soldering the guard seems to have fallen out of vogue in recent decades, but it's a solid and practical solution.

[@MASI_forging]

Beautiful design, you did it well 😄😄

[@Semerich_Knives]

400 grit sanding would be just right, but it wouldn’t hurt to work on the cleanliness! Good job!

[@Fambamm-ib6pw]

When will they be on the website?,awesome work by the way ❤your content

[@FireCreekForge]

Should be up by the end of the week. Thanks for watching!

[@Fambamm-ib6pw]

@@FireCreekForge thanks boss 🙏

[@Little_River_Forge]

Have you done a video on that laser??

[@FireCreekForge]

Yep!

[@toumicarlos4037]

👍👍👍

[@MidwestJedi]

It's so interesting watching hunks of raw meterial get worked into a tool. Your explanations along the way are also appreciated. I always like listening to craftsman talk about their choices and decisions.

[@FireCreekForge]

Yes sir, thanks for the support!

[@CC-lv1ox]

What metal is the blade made of?

[@FireCreekForge]

This is 52100 high carbon steel

[@CC-lv1ox]

@@FireCreekForge Is that the steel that you use the majority of the time? I assume it is the most durable and also allows for the sharpest edge or less need to sharpen in the field? I am new to knives and trying to educate myself so I can buy a special knife for hubs. I value your skill and vids to teach the consumer. I also want to support a family business in the USA. Thank you.

Beautiful as always brother 👊🏽

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir

[@mcbarber5108]

Amazing!

[@wally95624]

Damn. You make it look so simple. I loved the forging of the stock metal, only doing stock removal, I have often wanted a wider piece of stock. Wonderful results.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir. Yes the combination of profiling and forging offers some additional options
