You misspelled "machete", haha! That thing is a beast; great work.

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks! my spelling is bad.

[@v1k1ng421]

No, it was a joke because your bowie knife is so big, it could almost be a machete.

[@freerkwieringa275]

[@TheGhostUK666]

Just WOW..

[@AlphaMachina]

I'd like to see you forge a double edged leg knife. Like a fast stealth mercenary blade, maybe 16cm blade. Strong but extremely light weight, etc.

[@freerkwieringa275]

ah, i think Philip Dunn makes those.

[@AlphaMachina]

What I was thinking, since they'd be on the smaller side, you could make a matching pair with a different animal head pommel on each. I like to sketch, knives, swords, armor, etc. in particular. Maybe I will try some stock removal knife making myself. I didn't really like how my raven skull knife came out. I will try some different blade and handle types until it looks right: drive.google.com/open?id=16nVG8kSUVqsbTs5rP9N4lOBtEHozeX4A drive.google.com/open?id=13QWxVk-igrRfhJYIBzv7mQgO2A36S5mq

[@buddhapork]

gorgous!

[@RIPBlueInk]

I'm not a blacksmith but I do watch a lot of this sort of content(your videos are great by the way). You seem to us flux differently to how others have on camera. I've never seen anyone flux the sides that aren't about to the welded and aim usually seems to be to get flux to sink between plates. Do you have reason for this or is it just a bit of a habit? Just got to the end of the video while I was writing this question DAMN thats a nice knife!

[@freerkwieringa275]

yes. it is to prevent carbon loss due to oxygen reaction. the flux shields the steel from oxygen..

[@johnbiggs7620]

Love this knife build you did in this video. Is that new vent hood working well for you?

[@freerkwieringa275]

John Biggs yes. It really helps with borax fumes.

[@poulsonarrow]

Beautifully crafted as always, that handle leads me to a idea for your next project? a Westen style pistol ? ????? and thank you for your reply to email other day .

[@freerkwieringa275]

I try to. No guns planed in the near future. I would have to get my gunsmith license.

[@christiancorrado7686]

I want to see this guy make a claymore

[@freerkwieringa275]

Hi. Don't you hate people who edit their posts?

[@user-kq1rg9gd3m]

And how to use this piece of iron? Like a knife it's too thick and heavy, like a sword it's too short! You have great swords, but what do these knives???

[@freerkwieringa275]

валерий габараев chop wood. Fight bears. It also has machete qualitys and it can be very sharp.

[@user-kq1rg9gd3m]

I have not insulted neither you nor the owner of this channel. I just asked a question. So who of us is the idiot???

[@freerkwieringa275]

валерий габараев yes. Let's be polite.

[@user-kq1rg9gd3m]

I agree with you. Some people need to be a little more educated .
