This is just incredible, i clicked on this video expecting an average knife and an ok video. after watching it, wow. You have got an instant sub. The knife is incredible, you used very hard techniques and pulled it off perfectly. The video is great, the music is good for people with all tastes in music, the editing is good. This is just awesome. Keep up the incredible work.

Fantastic knife

[@TheBurnknight]

honestly, one of the most beutiful knifes ive seem, those damascus knifes are pretty, but nothing beats a detailed rustic knife

[@danielkollar1598]

excellent procedure👍

This knife is so beautiful! I would really like to have it in person. Awesome work, like always!

You can buy this knife if your offer is high enough. Give it a try.

[@WunteksWorkshop]

Nice one!

Very cool and beautiful knife, looking forward to the sheath 😉

[@happylife3888]

Hi

[@sonyhk3824]

Nice job fantastic

[@holykuhmeinefresse]

Elegant knife, great selection of music and well edited. Excellent! The fluid you submerged the blade in is some kind of gunmetal blue solution, isn't it? I heard about it.

[@Jalopeurix]

Vow... just look like modern finnish Kauhava-knive. :) Well done!

[@user-bz7sw2wl4y]

Круто!👍 Замечательный нож и видео очень понравилось. А ножны на него будут или нет? Просто очень хочется посмотреть на процесс изготовления ножен!

[@octaviorodrigues4963]

Superbe rendu d'ensemble

[@metroplexchl]

Quite an elegant blade

nice knife! do you have a template for it?

[@gustavobroglio5873]

Nailed it!

[@manesalva24]

Excelente, una pregunta, templas el acero? no vi en el video, gracias

[@benauger9956]

Ive been using a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade is a angle grinder better or faster? any recommendations?

[@harrybanning9107]

Kind of a scrub question, I know, but what are you putting on the blade when you sand it at the start? I'm guessing its a lubricant, but what kind?

[@vikp6115]

Beautiful piece thats for sure the only concern i will have is at the begining you show its 60 hrc but thsn u put grinder to it to cut it out and never heat treat it , i bet ur temper is off now from ur grinding heat transfers! :) love the idea with the pomel.

[@nofunclub]

Great music

[@alexgolden8316]

Just wondering what exactly you used to stain the blade? And is it durable?

[@vincemontanez3947]

Super clean looking knife. I know its 2years old now, but you should do a follow up vid on making a sheath

[@MrAnas5115]

wonderful رائع

[@MickeythecrazyMouse]

The liquid you keep putting on the metal before sanding it, is it water or is it something else? Also this is very therapeutic and calming for me, keep up the great work!

[@johnsuscovich4085]

I watched the whole thing on 2x speed. The music even worked that fast and it held my attention better.

[@kalebweinmann2204]

What site do you get your knife templates from, or do you make them yourself?

[@douglasjansen183]

We're did you get the jig you use for grinding bevels?

[@namkim8303]

What is the solution that you dip the blade into and how to place the copper plate at the knife blade color

[@user-hn4ol5xm7p]

очень круто !!!

[@gonzalosanchezblanco6598]

Which wood did you use to make the grip ?

[@jbaha9]

Hey! nice Knife! What is the liquid around 12" to greyish te knife? thx!

[@mgutekunst1]

nice job. I think it is better to do most grinding before heat treating. I may have missed it but your grinding looks to be done after HT.

[@BharaniStar1]

what type steel was used to make this knife...?

[@wadeeastwood2185]

cool

[@jclim73]

Hi... where do you get hardened steel blanks?

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very nice! Really cool how you aged the brass at the end?

[@Koss-channel]

I used ammonia vapors in a closed vessel

[@bkmesser]

Koss I've tried this trick after reading this comment because I really like the way this aged brass looks. It didtn't really work out (the brass still remained shiny) but the wooden handle of my knife now smells terribly like ammonia... What did I do wrong?

[@Koss-channel]

Dont worry the smell will disappear. The brass must to get aged after 20min ammonia vapors influence, if this really brass you use. Make sure that brass doesn't covered any oil or other finish you use on handle. And better degrease it.

[@edsonsilveira5531]

Tom's Dreamshop Worx

[@mitchellavard]

Very, very cool! How do you get that almost matte dark grey colour on the blade?

[@nogamegaming6852]

Milo Man you can see at around 12:27 that he is putting the blade in a bottle. The bottle most likely has an acid in it that corrodes the outside of the blade, making it oxidize and turn black.

[@k-entertainment]

That would be a very dilute solution of ferric chloride; it's often used in damascus projects to allow the grain of the steel to be seen via etching. You can also use a cold blue solution, but here he used a dilute ferric chloride solution I believe. You need to wear gloves to use both and wipe off excess with acetone after bathing in water. Both will work; albeit cold blue gives a more (hence the name) blue-grey finish to the metal.

[@jakubcerveny9717]

And how long should I let it in there?

[@tobiaszferet1489]

@@jakubcerveny9717 10 to 15 minutes

[@duysonquang1523]

can you help me Koss? I'm from vietnam. At 12:27 You put steel knife in a bottle and then the steel knife is black. Can you show me what it is?

[@casey7707]

I watched the whole thing and skimmed through it again. Did you temper it after? Did the steel come pre-tempered? Just curious

[@JohnSmith-tz9qf]

Casey McCracken I presume it was pretempered. If you start this video again in the first seconds you see a "60 HRC" written on the steeel plate. Watch closer next time

[@robertgiggie6366]

that is true, but I believe he ruined the temper by cutting it with a cutoff wheel like that

[@user-pr2fy2oi5k]

to robert. hello, no he didn't if you look better, you'll see that he spray some water several times with a brush to cool down the blade. also he made many cuts with low depth instead one but deep. He is know what he do

[@robertgiggie6366]

repeated heating and cooling ruins the temper, that's why in machine shops we use continuous coolant, if the metal is too hot to touch you have ruined the temper

[@ecidemon5672]

I can leave it on my dash in the summer and it be too hot to touch, that's a bunch of malarky.

[@geroschorch1365]

if not for the knife, i would've already subbed for the music

[@agaz44]

Your grinding skills are awesome, you should try blacksmithing some time.

[@user-zy6ex8xx6e]

Интересное решение по креплению хвостовика . Четко аккуратно.

[@sushitagotan3731]

What is it he keeps rubbing on the blade?

[@tashinkor]

수제 명품이네

[@q-tip7780]

Where do you get your steel?

[@ErichRahm-Gaming]

Is there a way that you could post the pattern you use for the knife? I'd like to make my own but I'm a terrible artist

[@bigmingkang6454]

how beautiful it is, i am enjoyable to watch ur videos. how can i learn that? it is like an art. could i watch some books？ i am from Taiwan ，there is no way to learn it. and my english is very poor.

[@spoonsmith9506]

What gives the steel the grey look?

[@realdad32]

Depends on what steel and how its finished. A mirror polish looks less grey than say a brushed finish.

[@febrilliantlukito4773]

Hi ，can you tell me the music list？TY！

[@nassimtiguarfa8902]

Nice job!! Do you sell them as well?

[@assu4lt]

Impressive Is it possible to buy any of your works ?

[@user-hr2hq5eg6f]

👍👍👍👍

[@fartsuckernerd2690]

What was the liquid that darkened the knife?

[@bryanelwell3470]

It's an etching solution, most likely ferric chloride. You can find it at electronics stores because it's used for etching circuit boards. When making knives, ferric chloride is used to darken the blade (and make it look cooler) but more importantly increase the rust resistance of the blade

[@Koss-channel]

yes, it's ferric chloride

[@loganrichards6276]

What liquid do you put on the knife in the beginning when your cutting it and also, what liquid do you soak it in at the end to give it that amazing look. I'm new to knife making and it seems really interesting

[@billybobby-tj9jh]

Pretty sure it's ferric chloride or somthing

[@loganrichards6276]
