Forging A Knife With Nails!

[@0802turtleman]

I very much enjoy your videos. I have stage 4 thyroid cancer. When I can not sleep at night you help me get through! Cheers! Thank You very much!

I hope you Still alive Bro, enjoy tour family and tour life...

[@WillFuI]

Thank u for the great pfp from 4:40-4:50. Been great all this time

[@rileybranting7099]

0:38 "I've done this before, it usually works" A true master of his trade

[@PracticalRenaissance]

NAILED IT!

[@GreenBeetle]

boom

[@clickbait5922]

Lol

[@chabka34]

God damn it beat me to it

[@Numbers__]

Figured I'd see someone talking about how the knife was "hard as nails" but that is close enough...

[@nickames8813]

Practical Renaissance HA!!!!

[@streetgangtm]

I love how often you include your failed pieces. You always see on TV or documentaries etc where they always say "One wrong strike and it could be all over" or "If we hear such and such during the quenching we have to start over" yet it somehow always works out. It's awesome to see the actual process in honest detail

[@coen8323]

Stealth Bobber that's because TV is 9 times out of 10 fake

[@ctsugusergroup1397]

That’s awesome every time I watch it. More please of the nickel line, it makes the knife stand out

[@fritzdanielzik5543]

Making damascus steel without a powerhammer is a respectable work. The knife got really pretty.

[@Zoidberg227]

Of all your knife builds I've watched, this one is probably the coolest. Love that dark dark edge and the bright nickel stripe, and the prominence of some of the nails.

[@DavidSanchez-kk5wo]

This guy is good plus he is funny!!!! I love the robot. This is the type of person that I would love to have as a teacher and as a friend. Great sense of humor and an awesome job

[@knutlyd]

Watching your work is like a spiritual experience.

[@bumpadump6992]

I have no idea why, but I love this video so much. Every time I see it on my list I just have to watch it. You did an amazing job, SIr.

[@Johnboy333]

I go to your store every time I am in Tulsa. My daughter and I love it. Thank you for offering great priced knives for knife lovers.

[@finnice]

Wow that is in my opinion the most beautiful knives you've made so far; texture, colour, shape... really shows your skills are improving you made that look easy!

[@fortj3]

You certainly have a way with steel. I salute you, and all the effort you put into your knives.

[@JosephGarriganIII]

Glad I saw this one. Have a bunch of nails from the mid 1800's I want to try this with.

[@matthewfakes2916]

How on Earth may I be blessed enough to purchase a knife just like this? It is my Dream Come True knife.... Thank you for the awesome video. Matthew Fakes.

[@Meanderingsomething]

Why has no one said this yet. GB you nailed it.

[@GreenBeetle]

boom

[@lamproknives]

You're the only one to try those crazy damascus experiment, always wonderful

[@GranTorino49]

That turned out great.....good move adding that single sheet!

[@alexcallen9729]

That green beetle is a beautiful knife. Well done! the nickel strand throughout the blade had me sold.

[@4562jim]

beautiful loved that you could see the nails in the etch

[@TestinDaCable]

Kudos, sir. That nail knife looks absolutely stunning!

[@Fauxjob]

This and the fish hook have been my favorite of your canisters. You've really upped your finishing work, especially on the ricassos.

[@danielmitchell5615]

Followed this channel for months and just realized we are in the same city. I saw a billboard recently. Great work!!!

[@thecountbassy_]

That has to be the best looking knife I've ever seen.

[@tonybowers9490]

May be the best looking knife you've done so far. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome knife Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!! The wood you choose for your handles is gorgeous looking. Well Done

[@JKnight]

This is the prettiest knife I've ever seen you make. Absolutely love it. The nails came out just right and that thin nickel line was just superb. Amazing craftsmanship.

[@brandoncox7460]

That was awesome. I really like the line from the nickel , it shows up so bright next to that 1095. Great work GB, keep up the good work!!!!!

[@zlohhcub6]

One of the most beautiful knives I've seen you make.

[@Landrew0]

Aside from good looks, does this knife have any special toughness due to the combination of different steels?

[@tofanedward9049]

Landrew0 sure. The edge is 1095 wich is a great steel and the spine is softer steel (nails are made from mild steel) so it absorbs shock easier. That caracteristics make a sharp and durable knife.😉

[@NathanNostaw]

Those nails look great. Well worth the effort.

[@APs.Custom.knives]

The fact you do this by hand is inspiring to those of use with no press or phammer

[@chrispychickin]

Wow, this knife is straight up stunning. Definitely my favourite one of yours thus far. I love the fine nickel line following along the transition of steel types... You are truly an amazing artist

[@aries_9130]

That is FREAKING AMAZING! Love the bright line of nickel as well as the "color fade" in the blade. Awesome!

[@jeffersonhenn1086]

Wow, beautiful!!!

[@ערןשולנר]

This is an astounding blade! Great job!

[@atxtalon1]

I wish you had put this one on eBay. Beautiful work can’t wait till you make another. Thanks for the great videos.

[@mggcomputers]

I can't even believe that you can make a knife that nice out of nails and a piece of square tube and some powder. Really cool video dude I want that knife I love how the spine is so thick you Blu my mind.

[@mark16443]

heat treated steel etches differently. since you only hardened the blade it will etch differently from the handle. beautiful knife. i love how you can actually see the nails. hopefully i can get my forge back together soon and give this a go

[@blakeh81]

mark16443 yep, that’s exactly what i was going to say. You really hit the nail on the head with that one 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mikeobarr8589]

God that's beautiful. Probably your best looking piece so far. That faux hamon you made with that nickel is amazing. Well done.

[@thetruejay20]

Subbed, very happy to find a black smith that does commentary on their videos!

[@Shab-z]

Awesome work as always. Love that you keep challenging yourself

[@StevaManStevaMan]

excellent work and all the explanations...especially when it comes to the quenching and tempering...only the sky is the limit :-)))

[@kchee1111]

hardened high carbon steel will etch darker than soft high carbon. Thanks for videoing all your work. I enjoy watching!

[@homeyshlitz]

You nailed that on the head. Good job man.

[@alexisboutin6640]

Really cool stuff with the nickel to separate the 1095 edge! good job!

[@bigpappahemi4263]

That is the most inventive use of a jigsaw I have ever seen!

[@alejandrogranados2028]

By far the prettiest knife I’ve seen in a while... would like one of my own but with maybe some red construction paper or cloth layered into the sand paper

[@DaebakMonkey]

That knife is freaking gorgeous!!!

[@hankjenkins769]

This is one of my favorites you have made so far. Great work, thanks for sharing this

[@iamneophyte]

For me it's the prettiest knife you've forged so far, and I've been watching you for about 2 years now! Hands down one of me favourite yt-channels. Keep it up, mate!

[@wayned5872]

That's crazy cool ...the nails & nickel knife...nice job..GB

[@peterk5780]

Beautiful pattern there with all those nails. The nickel line is really bright and goergous! Lovely piece of work done there I must say. Cant get over the nickel line somewhat creating a sort of a hamon line making the knife look even better. Thenk you for this film which has inspired me even more to start tha journey down the path of knife making. Best of luck!!!

[@JamieBainbridge]

This is one of the nicest looking you've done.

[@StealthyOgre]

That nickle strip almost looks like an integrated hamon line. So cool!

[@deannederhoff]

Looked cool.i know all about the furnace gloves and stuff.i worked at marshalltown trowel,a company Dave Lennox started over 140 yrs ago.ran a furnace that burnt 2300 degrees.was neat running equipment,rolls,hammers and such that were 50 to 70 yrs old

[@tamasmihaly1]

Last nail in the coffin. I subbed so good.

[@terrychrist535]

Turned out beautiful. You do wonderful work. 👍😝

[@p7rox]

The blade and the handle together look so beautiful! Amazing job

[@Jamasterev]

This is awesome. I think it's my favorite that you've done so far.

[@eldestsucubus]

that nickel line is beautiful. what a fantastic looking knife.

[@IRONHEAD12701]

That nickel strip really paid off. Made it stand out sweet. Great job. Keep up the good work.

[@malignantastralinfestation5834]

That is a phenomenal knife. Beetle, your knives have improved so much, that's absolutely gorgeous. I'm very impressed!

[@nortagnan2135]

Think this is my favourite knife you've made, really like the pattern, shape, and handle.

[@darrelllogan1274]

That's a pretty cool knife. Well done.

[@thebmac]

That dark edge and the bright nickle line looks awesome!. Always look forward to your videos and your style. Good experiment on making the micarta. At least me know now that it doesn't look so good

[@MarekTabi]

in each video will learn something new :) awesome work :)

[@tomohawk5567]

Now that's a handy knife, and I would buy it.

[@AustrianJager]

Just beautiful! Like the thickness of the steel!

[@stephenmerck5931]

Man you hit the nail on the head with this one.👍👍

[@barrymccaulkiner4232]

that knife is beautiful. My favorite one that you have made.

[@EODReddFox]

Wow! Easily my favorite knife behind your San mai blade.

[@louiskutyla6943]

that nickel line is gorgeous!

[@Flame122345]

You really hit the nail on the head with this one that knife looks hard as nails

[@mavos1211]

Absolutely stunning knife! And as always a pleasure to watch you work.

[@mackattack5299]

Very therapeutic watching a master at work. Nice work - truly.

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

Collaboration with Essential Craftsman?!?!?! Hell Yeah!!!! I'm betting that will be FN EPIC! He just posted am amazing vid of Cy forging a knife and telling some of the best stories I've ever heard.

[@GreenBeetle]

Scott has sent me some pics of the swords and axes he's made. He is VERY talented, perhaps he'll put up a video of him forging a blade soon.

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

I hope so but I enjoy every vid of his and yours. Thanks for all great vids man. One of my favs is the Sugaring vid you did, would love to see more on carbonizing and/or hardening and heat treat from ya. You do a great job of showing what happens when you try new things. ATB

[@Noochi]

Your knives are gorgeous, very nice work

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Wow, i think that is the most beautiful knive you have ever made. Really, really cool knife!

[@ArthurHerbst]

Was sceptical about that nickel liner, but damm, that looks pretty...

[@thejasonrk]

its really the icing on the cake, makes the knife in my opinion

[@TheBubby89]

Arthur Herbst mommy.

[@s.sradon9782]

doesn't nickel dissolve into steel and make it bad?

[@johnwaw6363]

Love the essential craftsmen's channel! Beauty knife!

[@v1k1ng421]

That's cool how you can actually see the shape of the nails in the pattern.

[@TheTikibuster]

I look forward to these videos, great work.

[@Ron3343]

New to the channel and I have to say.... "That is one SICK, SICK KNIFE!!"

[@ximoa.2399]

That's a beautiful piece of art

[@TheDrumminjay]

Ha! The robot, I love it! Good work man, it’s a beautiful knife. That line of nickel is pretty sweet looking too.

[@messser]

Very , very, very awesome and beautifull. Thanks for WIP

[@erichklett4847]

Maybe my favorite knife you have done yet. I would love to see you do a canister damascus project like this with 52100 steel.

[@LincolnSixAlpha]

Beautiful knife. Enjoyed the video as well!

[@codycurnutte7084]

A true art. Very impressed.

[@genesiseli1461]

That knife is so cool..really awesome work brother!!

[@phillipturner657]

Beautiful work. Really like how it turned out!

[@esmithiii2003]

That is a gorgeous knife. Thank you for sharing!

[@FreazyTek]

This knife turned out amazing GB

[@mitch3384]

This is probably a very random compliment, but the way you folded up the canister like it was a box of milk was just beautiful.

[@plainsroamer405]

That is flippin epic. Nice work

[@2tommyrad]

Very very cool. Really dig the nail silhouettes and the lightning rod of nickel. Maybe a knife of guitar strings?

[@nateermine2849]

Nice bro good job I love that nickel line.

[@Jellooman]

Love the nails! I tried this using fluted masonry nails to make stars, maybe I will try it again!

[@Ceo8203]

I respect your channel you showed your mistake an why. You just got a new subscriber!!! Oh thanks for the glove dance party moves gotta make sure I use them .
