Thanks man! Great knife. I'm an avid fan of all sharp and pointies. Unfortunately, I have had a set back in my attempts to make knives. Open heart surgery will do that. My Dr. says "No making anything" for at least 6 months. I'm very bummed out about that. But thanks to you and several other "Professors" here on KZbin University, I can still get my making fix taken care of. Thanks man!!

Sorry to hear. I was a Cardiac ICU RN. You have to give yourself 6 month to a year to get back up to speed. Best of luck

Nice looking knife very eye catching. Truly enjoyed watching and learning.

[@Nanoaiello]

Very nice knife!

[@simplyrise5217]

Nice bro. Hello from New Zealand 👌

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thanks appreciate the feedback

[@bwell6863]

Thank you for sharing. Jeremy, of Simple Little Life did a video using an air needler. The results look very similar. Love your channel!

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Just watched his video. Very nice!! Thanks

[@RudolfSadolino]

I've been watching a lot of your older videos lately for some inspiration, I feel like you're one of the most versatile knifemakers on KZbin, as in, something every video. Never just a walkthrough of some basic knife or w/e, always some new, creative stuff. I'd like to see the volume of the background recording lowered a bit, perhaps. Sometimes, when a grinder is chewing some steel, I find it difficult to hear what you're saying.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you very much! I try.

Old video- I know. Do you think the electro etching would work on 1018? I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t, but I’ve never worked with high carbon 1095 like this. My application is not knife making.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Yes absolutely

[@deemstyle]

@@DIYeasycrafts thanks! This might be a nice idea to make a chunk of machined low carbon steel mimic (or blend into) cast iron. Much appreciated!

👍👍👍

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you

[@johnwhitehead4809]

nice tutorial, just a basic battery charger.regards from the u.k.

[@tonystaples7017]

I have tried to do electro etching with a battery charger, but can't get it to work. Could it be that yours is older and doesn't have a safety feature that newer ones have?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Yes you need the older style charger or other 12v 2 amp power source

[@tonystaples7017]

@@DIYeasycrafts I have been using a PC power supply, but it cuts off mid etch, so... I ordered a benchtop DC power supply. Hope that works better.

[@tonystaples7017]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!! I have learned a lot from you.

[@engelwyre]

Could you please share the salt:water ratio used?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Im like a chef that does not use a recipe! LLOL. I just pour in salt. If your not getting a good etch add a little more.

[@engelwyre]

@@DIYeasycrafts Haha, a pinch of this and a twist of that, gotcha. I probably need to add more salt, thank you!

[@jimhamer5322]

More audio volume, please.

[@xxstr8jacketxx]

There is a volume button on your device I can hear him just fine.just be glad he got rid of the music.

[@jimhamer5322]

@@xxstr8jacketxx I KNOW THAT. I like his vids, but other YT vids play with good volume on my device!
