Would like to see you make the X Dagger which are made from the British Metford Bayonet.

Very cool. I like watching artisans at work. One question, how many hours does it take to produce one knife?

Thank you! One of these FS knives takes about 14 hours to finish.

Try heating up the metal a little, apply the cold blue and then barely rub in some 3 and 1 oil to stop the process. You may find that you get good results. I have.

Hi again! One thing I noticed early on is you had some descriptive text pop up but it did not last particularly long for me to actually read what it said. I know I could pause to read it but I'd rather continue watching the video over having to stop and go back to then pause and read the text. Also you noted some "non-useful" pieces of stock. Potential idea to sell to weebs: I don't know how difficult this would be but you could potentially make senbon (throwing needles) from Naruto out of those thin pieces you have leftover. With a nice little leather carrying case or something they could be a fun addition to someone's collection of stuff. Again though, no idea how much of a market there would be for this or if making the needles would even be feasible/worth the time. But I had the idea while watching the video and figured I'd at least put it out there. The sound feels a lot more balanced this time around! Didn't have to shift my volume around throughout the video. Do the sparks hitting your skin when you're grinding not hurt at all? It looks super cool how they travel around the belt even up to the top. I liked seeing the cleanup process as part of the video, I don't know if I've seen any other smithing-type videos where they actually show those little parts people don't consider so much like needing to clean the equipment of all the metal dust. The length of the sped-up cleaning felt good too. Gave me the idea of what that involves without it just being a long montage of cleaning lol. Your last segment with aging the dagger reminded me of when I took my metalsmithing and design class back in high school (we pretty much just made various jewelry). We were doing a patina on one piece and wearing gloves as is appropriate when using acids to patina silver. However, the same teacher who had just explained the safety purposes of the gloves to us came over and started handling my ring I'd made with her bare hands. I questioned her on this and her explanation was "I'm so old and my fingers are so tough and hardened I don't even feel it." Couldn't argue with that one lol, she was great. Excited to see the sheathe be made!

First of all thank you for taking the time to write all that out! I really appreciate the feedback, will make sure I keep it in mind for the next one :) I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to sell what is basically scrap to people, even if there are a few out there who would actually want it hahah so for now the non-useful offcuts will go in my steel scrap bin, I might eventually throw them into a smelt to make some of my own steel. The sparks can be a bit painful if you're using a low grit belt or if a clump of hot steel dust shoots at you but mostly it just feels like hot sand hitting you. Sheath video is all edited, I'll post it next week :)

@@NedflyKnives I look forward to the video! Would it be difficult to make those scraps into a double-ended needle shape like that?
