Forging a Damascus hunting knife.

[@tedpike6208]

I bought this knife, it’s the best knife I’ve ever owned. It’s beautiful and very sturdy, well built. It is heavier than it looks, which I like, because it feels like a well made knife. I will definitely buy another one because it’s a work of art. I’m going to order a Bowie next time.

[@freerkwieringa275]

Thanks Ted! Good to hear you like it!

[@mynu684]

Can you tell us how much it costs?

[@tedpike6208]

Cosmin Hora it was close to $400 American money.

[@jacobusbaker9285]

It looks heavy.

[@Forging403]

One of the nicest knifes I've seen in a long while. Great work sir.

[@davidferre9752]

[@TheWind213]

You forged an eloquently crafted knife, I especially like the design on the blade. Well done Sir.

[@markchester7584]

That’s a beautiful knife. If you ever need to get it off your hands I’d gladly take care of it for you.

Freek, this is another damn good looking knife you have made. The grips are beautiful and it would look good in any collection. Your video is also, as ususal, perfect. Keep up the good work friend. Thank you

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks!

[@badrudinlazim1400]

Watching this video makes me feel like a real dud! This is no artisan. He is a real artist.

[@williamwalter2061]

That is a beautiful knife. First blade I've actually seen him sharpen.

[@mordacahwiston2025]

I've been watching a lot of your videos and I really enjoy them and I've learned a lot from them myself making knives the one thing that I'm doing is taking notes of what you're doing and also what I have learned in my own experience and putting them down on paper to write a book I'm writing a book called prepping Damascus

[@wallace8637]

You should have way more subs, All your works are a definition of quality.

[@johnnorman1793]

You are a true crafstman my friend.! Beautiful knife. In a beautiful sheath, who wouldn't be proud to own it..!! John from downunder..!!

[@nino8256]

God damn, you, my man, are a very good blacksmith! You deserve way more subs! Keep up the awesome work!

[@eddiebhoy6754]

Its awesome especially how u make it look so simple but everyone knows just how difficult knife making is .I do love the big knives but seeing the smaller ones is a treat

[@menbocabizares433]

what do you call the chemical where you dipped the knife to achieve the surface? thanks

[@sumitdevbharadwaj]

I have a German knife of this shape, but this looks stunning!! The damascus pattern is nice. the wooden handle gives it looks more of a usable knife rather than a show piece. Salute

[@ianstradian]

That is my favorite knife yet. Beautiful work.

[@ramonweijers5666]

Fantastisch mooi mes (zoals altijd)!! Dat olijfhout past perfect bij de tekening in het staal.

[@randygwheeler]

What was your hardest or most frustrating piece you ever made? Do you have a link?

[@freerkwieringa275]

Randy Wheeler I had to do a sword 3 times over due to errors in the welding. That was not a fun thing

[@franzmitterhuber1292]

what kind of diamant grinding stone do you use?

[@seewolf1802]

You make the most beautiful and stable knife. Better it just is not. This is masterly manual work of my respect.

[@Andylismore76]

Another belter....I was wondering if you might lend advice on your scale to pin size. Do you drill the wood slightly larger or smaller than the pin?

[@freerkwieringa275]

a tiny bit bigger for the epoxy

[@griseobarba7989]

Endlessly impressed Freerk.

[@g.b.8445]

AS always stunning craftsmanship and video, thanks for sharing.

[@brunoafflitto6194]

hello how are you, how did you get that finish on the knife.

[@akivameola2558]

Its awesome how iconic your design style is. I can tell you made it before i see who made the video! Good job!

[@alejandropalavecino3057]

De q material es la guarda?

[@gerardoaitunes127]

[@Savagejay07]

What type of top die are you using on your power hammer I see you use it all the time?

[@freerkwieringa275]

thats just a spacer, to get a even thickness

[@TheJimbodean67]

Very impressive craftsmanship sir. Your truly a credit to your trade.

[@leonardburns1780]

[@Robosini88]

Good job! What wood did you use for the handle?

[@freerkwieringa275]

Robosini88 olive

[@kurtbogle2973]

I just made my first blade. I wish it looked like yours. Perfection every time. I find making knives and swords interesting to the point of fascination. Some day I hope I can do it as well as you!

[@neilpetersen5287]

[@SatanSupimpa]

[@карнас]

Хороший клинок, но над заточкой нужно поработать еще))

[@jrand2631]

Yet another very beautiful knife. Great job.

[@SharpWorks]

I don’t know why I’m subscribed to you, all you do is make me jealous of your beautiful work. Oh yeah that’s why I’m subscribed, because it’s freaking amazing to watch! 👍 never stop brother

[@freerkwieringa275]

Sharp Works I am not planning to

[@micahkhalid723]

[@freerkwieringa275]

Kaldaer no but definitely interested .

[@SavageCustomCreative]

[@LeandroGoretta]

Awesome knife! I hope I can do that some day

[@sergiosanchez-hv1lj]

[@JETWTF]

Great choice on the wood, the grain matches the patterned steel in scale and pattern variety.

[@lagoonrd4173]

That knife is top notch!

[@seattlesix]

👍🏼 Should last a few generations. Would love to make a sheath for this one.

[@ginoasci]

If I have a peace of steel. I heat it till its glowing red, and stick it in vegetable oil. Will it harden?

[@SEFullmetalJake]

Beautiful work once again. What wood is the handle made from?

[@tofanedward9049]

[@freerkwieringa275]

Lol. I am friendly but still not a big talker.

[@shinigamitoryuu9574]

have you ever done cut and fold the billet

[@freerkwieringa275]
