MAKING A KUKRI Part 1 of 2!!! STEELE VS STELTER

[@giggityguy]

Does Will have any experience with using a coke forge? Alec started out doing exclusively coke forging but I can't imagine that it would be very fair if Will doesn't know how they work. They seem awfully tricky if you don't know what you're doing.

[@Egeslean]

Just from their initial drawn designs, I'm already voting for Will.

[@solipsistgaming671]

I think will has this one. His design and overall forging looks better. I feel like Alec is more of an aesthetics guy while will has the edge on functionality, especially in knife making(and this is basically a big knife)

Looks like Alec has this in the bag, the blade looks way nicer

[@KuraIthys]

@asdasd asdasd - not actually sure that's a 'furry', because when you look at the picture close up there's no fur, the 'tail' seems to not be attached to the body and looks more like a beanbag or something, and the ears also resemble a costume piece more than anything else. Even if you assume the tail and ears are a part of the character, the general consensus is that merely having a tail and ears (eg catgirl, wolfgirl, etc style) isn't actually enough to qualify as a furry. But this character doesn't even seem to be that. So... Eh. XD Cute cat by the way. ;p

[@jessemarshall7176]

I died a little when I saw red dykem but my boy Alec’s dykem sense kicked in and he saved the day!

[@realityof_1929]

Okay, honestly these are some of my favorite videos you make. I love the concept and it's great seeing how the two of you interact and yet have such different ideas! Team Steele btw

[@markjob7736]

Team Stelter btw

[@goldeneaglearbor614]

Challenge idea. You both get a 1in cube of steel and have to draw it out as long as possible with no power tools. 👍

[@workwithnature]

I never understood why forged in fire would wait so long to temper the blades. There is a lot of internal pressure that can crack a blade if you wait too long.

[@diamondflaw]

Because shattering blades makes ratings go brrrrrrr!

[@HavocHounds1988]

I think they temper them off camera. On the Beat the Judges special they showed that they have tempering ovens in the warehouse they use for filming. So they probably have them temper in there before putting handles on them. Will would always say that now that the blades are heat quenched and tempered, it's time to put a handle on them. So they most likely just temper off camera.

[@jrburns100]

Bet my entire paycheck Alec ends up putting some sort of gem in his.

Same here but the end result was undeniably gorgeous

[@cae2487]

I liked the sword breaker just think a bunch of the episodes could have been lumped together and it been like a 6-8 part segment. I know they really wanna showcase how much time and effort they put into that amazing blade but 8 episodes of grinding the guard just got a little hard to watch from time to time. But if it helps them sell the blade for 20k I guess it's worth it to drag it out.

For me it wasn't about the final piece, but the process of agonizing obsession spent with every little detail. And that pattern!

Steele's Kukri looks more like a Kopis.

[@anthonylamonica8301]

It's possible that the Kopis inspired the Kukri. Consider how far East that Alexander the Great made it with his Greek/Macedonian armies; it wouldn't take long for a Kopis to be transported to the Himalayas.

[@Mr.Monacle]

@@anthonylamonica8301 I have no doubt that it did, it also inspired the Kopesh in Egypt.

Actually, no, it didn't. Egyptian kopesh is "the original design" probably. In Egypt was one of the earlyest transitions to bronze age and kopesh was bronze weapon...

A two handed kukri was mentioned by Stelter and I had instant hopes of seeing someone make the Armadyl Godsword from Runescape. I have suggested all of the Godsword styles and even the old school Runescape Godsword with interchangeable handles to many smiths on youtube and have yet to see one come through. Maybe you guys could get Jagex's support/sponsorship to use that nice big new oven you got for hardening some life sized Godswords.

[@danielpealer3561]

I had an interesting idea, Damascus made from only mild steel stock, the trick here is processing half of the stock in a specific way before forge welding; what you'd want to do here is to carburize or case harden half of the stock thus providing an incredibly thin layer of high carbon steel.

If they don't invite you one of those days, which they really should now that you moved to the US. It'd be interesting to you two tackle some of their harder challenge like a canister damascus from random steel sources. We've seen you dealing with damascus pretty often, so I think it'd be nice to see how you'd tackle it in that scope. But hey, no worries if you don't either. Your videos are always a good time ^.^
