You could see if they would sponsor making a 1880's tomahawk. They were used by a heck of a lot of people. From the Native American tribes to fur trappers, explorers, and settlers.

[@jonminer9891]

Interesting project. The style of knife you have there is called a "Battle Knife". It is really too light for cutting wood. The sharpened upper edge was that way so the knife would be dangerous on the backstroke. The knife was first conceived as a self-defense weapon. It gained a lot of popularity during the war with Mexico and the American Civil War. Most "Bowie Knives" were made in England and decorated with American patriotic symbolisms. It lost favor after the revolver became popular in the last quarter of the 1800s. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!

[@stasylumbassist1]

huh? he reproduced trash, only purpose is to stab n slice... sad piece of history... glad its gone

[@ditullioa]

Yes to more historical replicas. Great channel. Love the way you cover technology from age old natural material usage all the way to desk top 3D printing. Something for everyone.

[@gottofly2]

I loved your technique on this knife. Leaving the forging and hammer marks was genius! The hand guard was amazing craftsmanship. We’ll done!

[@garo9679]

I love the scroll in the D-guard and the rough finnish on the blade, makes it look handmade

[@nicholaseedy3244]

you consistently make some of the best videos of knife making.

[@lewisatlas4284]

Yes I’d like to see more replicas. Knives and other items too. Hand tools, farm implements household things. Pre 1880’s preferably. Thanks for showing us your superior skills and inventive approaches.

[@maoribaca2655]

you may wanna be carefull about forging at the lower red to black temperatures especially with the sharp dies of the press, its an easy way to form micro fractures in the steel

[@zagorich]

Love the fact that you used tiller tines, they are absolutely one tough material!

[@sgsax]

I like the hammered finish on the steel. Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

[@tracybowling1156]

The raw look of the blade is the best part. Then the antler handle has to be next! You did a fantastic job! ☺️

[@gk6993]

Beautiful work. Also a big yes to the historical weapons. Please, don't limit yourself to just blades.

[@alanpreston3111]

Love this , looks like it came straight out of the 1800’s👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@ShawnHCorey]

Bowie himself made many variations to his knife over the years. Any one of them can be called an "official" Bowie knife.

[@greekveteran2715]

Did I tell you, that you're my favorite knife maker?!!! What a piece again!!!!

[@chrisbeene2379]

Yes for sure, I would love to see more videos like this. 👍👍👍

[@georgecuyler7563]

I love that you didn't sand it out to a high shine. Looks like it actually came from that time.

[@michaelpfister1283]

A great contrast to this project would be a historical replica of an "Arkansas Toothpick". These blades - the Bowie Knife and the Toothpick - are the two iconic "survival knives" of the American Frontier and having them side-by-side would be pretty neat.

[@davidwhiren817]

Very nice finished product without all of that museum piece details that make a knife unaffordable to so many !!! Con grats !!!

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

I’m not fussed on what you make l just like to watch you build it’s always great content

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Ive watched a lot knife forging videos on youtube there all are beautiful yours however keeps history in mind since im american the bowie knife is dear to me thanks sir this video was a pleasure to watch

[@BikerBelf]

I keep coming back time and time again to watch your creations. Keep the quality coming .

[@PremKumar-yf8jo]

You are an expert blacksmith.

[@sharpeye6366]

Pirates approve.

[@H.C.Q.]

That is a beautiful D-guard short sword. Such weapons were carried extensively by the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

[@robertmanley7556]

This was AWESOME !! Such a cool knife wow you have some GREAT skills .....you are a ARTIST !!! I love the Antler handle !! And so so sharp !!

[@kiramaybon5557]

Nicely done! 👍 Rough and brutal design, and its look like a very efficient. I know nothing about 1880s, but I think, this knife could belong a natural born killer or a bounty hunter. Cool, this knife have a soul! 👍👍👍

[@paraweir]

You are one of the best blacksmith I have seen on KZbin...

[@Robbie7441]

Now that is some match stick tang .

[@Vault57]

Love the look of the knife. Looks pretty authentic as a trappers knife, Indian warrior's knife the knife of a Vivil War veteran living in the western United States following the Civil War. 👍👍

[@leedavies9303]

What a lovely knife, love the care and attention in every portion of the project

[@robertgray9802]

Just when I think you can't come up with something better you make a fool of me very awesome work

[@buxongs]

A beautiful job on this replica and I would enjoy, very much, seeing more videos like it! Your blacksmithing skills are fantastic to witness and your equipped well to do the projects you do. Carry on, brother!

[@Девиант-ь7н]

wow this is a work of art!

[@obaidashafai1797]

i love the spiral

[@hello7533]

Love the blade finish, not a fan of the tang being that narrow though.

[@chakireladraoui9331]

Good my friend I'm happy to watching your videos thank you

[@the_monke0302]

It dont matter what you make, it always looks good ❤

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you

[@kennyhagan5781]

Very nice, I would definitely trust that blade.

[@andrezork]

Very nice sword. Please make more projects like this.

[@user-yx7yl9kf2n]

You realy need to make a pirate cutlass because you can't be named blackbeard without a pirate cutlass. Unless you have one then I'll have to watch it

[@gerryhuntman]

Love your word on this.

[@EladLerner]

There's a lot of skill and craftsmanship needed to make some thing "rough" look this good.

[@odinson_2814]

Он просто шикарен!😍

[@re-fix9678]

Very good👍👍🇰🇭

[@RandomRestoration]

the great black beard projects 👏👏

[@leoleo7486]

So beautiful

[@RedBeardOps]

nice work man!

[@TheDistur]

She's a pretty knife. Good stuff.

[@MegaMarkymark19]

Thanks for another excellent video I always enjoy your craftsmanship and the fact you're not a professional blacksmith but an amateur looking to improve and try new techniques outside your comfort zone and allow us to follow you on your journey.

[@brianvannorman1465]

Very pretty. Really like your furry assistant.

[@horstszibulski19]

Seeing you making this movie stuff is always nice to watch! 👍👍👍

[@ArkiverUnifiedEnergy]

Excellent craftsmanship!

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful knife good job well done mister

[@louislarose6613]

Greetings from Canada ! That knife turned out Superb ! Great Job Sir !

[@dsteiny8597]

Awesome project

[@coltonthorpe7812]

I hate being critical but for an 1883 replica, I would have loved to have seen it made without a press. Still, I love classic blade designs like this.

[@mconfluence]

That is a beautiful blade!

[@MrSoloun]

Great build, thanks for sharing it with us, interesting and authentic looking. More of these would be great.

[@alextomei232]

Hi Gader 👋 Congratulations for your amazing Bowie knive 👏👏👍 It is your first historical replica knive but but what a success 🙌He is magnificent 😍 I love the horn handle and the raw blade 👌 What a superb work for the pommel and the guard 💪 Congratulations again well done 🙇‍♀ Friendschips Alex from Corsica 😇😉

[@user-simonbolivar]

Збс нож Боуи получился!

[@dlhewitt2873]

I loved your design And your Corgi.

[@moseshorowitz4345]

Well done, as always. Weapons are always a fun project, but how about reproducing some antique implement, like a hand-cranked coffee grinder or water pump? Something useful that also gives you new challenges?

[@tango-bravo]

Beautiful knife and execution, but it seems either the blade is too long for the tang size or the tang is way undersized for the blade.

[@GoKartArmy1]

This one is pretty sweet, as is most of your work, I really like how you did the steel hand guard , that came out very nice

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you very much!

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great Job Sir. Your dog is a champ, by the way....

[@frankschroth4038]

Beautiful knife!!!!

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Beautiful

[@icerazar713]

That looks like the knife a pirate would have sticking out of the top of a boot with a sheath on the inside. 👍

[@latelierdeguilhem8421]

Très très jolie réplique ! Bravo

[@joshmock9717]

that's a cool knife

[@CHMichael]

Very cool show - my girlfriend hates western - but liked this show.

[@redskins43]

another amazing piece....do more BB.... love the doggo!!! so cute....

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

Awesome d guard Bowie

[@T_B]

Definitely more videos like this. That's an awesome knife!!

[@benjaminbreeg6214]

I could smell the video when you started working on the horn handle haha, fantastic job on the knife

[@MrOpenHouse_48]

I hope you can bring more videos like this forging old knifes😉

[@ricardobasto4748]

Demasiado grande el arco de la empuñadura, de resto muy bien Excelente trabajo maestro

[@larrykelly2838]

Great knife

[@dss-homemadestuff8580]

Nice and simple model. 👍

[@Austeration]

That was fantastic 👍 well done

[@richardc8340]

Thank you for the video, that is very unique and very well done!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

I don't normally like antler handles but your looks really good. I'm curious why the collector didn't want photographs of his knife to be put on the internet. What is the risk or harm in that if you don't mention who owns it?

[@douglasfathers4848]

Well done like the Gard . ⚔👍🤠

[@LarryGarfieldCrell]

Puppy cameo!!!

[@stupidocanerosa]

That's a knOife!

[@lordskorpius1971]

It's super cool. In my opinion, but I would have put a blood groove fuller on the blade. But well done sir

[@Thumper1968]

Beautiful!

[@ethanburnett4164]

Hope you had fun man, that things almost a sword

[@gotzon6678]

Excelente trabajo 👏👏👏💪🤝🐕😍

[@ronlayko9434]

Awesome, it looks like the real deal. Great job!

[@OKBushcraft]

Very well done.

[@stefang1087]

Awesome job. I've been watching your channel for some time now, and I can say that you are very good at what you do. So Yes , replicas will be one of the things I will enjoy watching you making. 👍🤓

[@cristianoalmeidagoncalves4163]

What kind of oil did you use to temper this knife?

[@jph8266]

Absolutely beautiful work! I love this knife. It would be fun to own a replica like that someday

[@filippofior3722]

Ma che figata che è uscito!

[@jerrieyum]

I was so scared that the knife would break when cutting the wood because of how small the dang was but it worked great!

[@carrestore]

beautiful Knife

[@kingoftrading75]

Great. Show.

[@nvk5070]

Love watching you
