MAKING A TWISTED MULTI-BAR CHEF'S KNIFE!!! Part 1

[@mikejeffers6371]

Thank you for not editing out Will stepping into the bucket. Will, you rock!!!

[@jgarber]

*Plooosh* (-_-) "Good Deal"

[@shaunwagner9644]

Should make a matching paring knife with that extra material.

[@BothHands1]

awesome idea!

[@semperfidelis271]

agreed it would be epic

[@coady-wp3xf]

tiny knife head to head.... i think so

[@TheNicoderm]

Then auction the second one for charity

[@DorkVader01]

Shaun Wagner I would just cut it in half

[@armadillodude2992]

Love seeing Will do his own projects along with the group projects!

[@VexChoccyMilk]

Alec, can you put a little handle on the tiny gold chef's knife? I need closure.

[@hugoa.c.1566]

Angry White Conservative this!

[@RN-du8wr]

ya'know, I forgot he never finished that. I say he should go with more of that white micarta with union jack on one side of the handle and good ol' Americana on the on the other, doing parve settings. make it difficult just because it took so long and... well, more practice.

[@arvilmaddox6666]

I've been waiting for the finished product also

[@Anonarchist]

some good pavé practice opportunity right here.

[@Anonarchist]

[@Benzy670]

That leftover square of 20-layer Damascus could be used to make a paring knife to go along with the chef’s knife, Will!

[@onebullspinner]

A complete set of chefs knifes.

[@timkirk3736]

Or a really nice oyster shucking knife. I’ve been asking for that for a while.

[@theweaponartisan9080]

It's probably too late, if you've watched the previous saver vids it came up in one of those about a month ago. So at this point the chefs knife is probably at it's destination.

[@gavic85]

if Will builds the entire project by himself in one video his face will be completely dark at the end of the video

[@nicholas8476]

GAHEC He does become progressively dirtier as the videos progress.. 😂 But then it’s not called black-smithing for nothing.

[@jeffdees4815]

black face

[@Tungmoto]

yeah, he would look like a miner then.

[@S3ARCH_N_D3STROY]

So by the look of your display pic, did you just finish making a knife? 😂

[@MrMomo182]

A heartwarming story of how twins, separated by oceans, found each other through a shared love of metal.

[@Albatross0913]

I hope will can make more appearances on this channel, they work really well of each other

[@laughinghyena001]

*public address comes on, announces:* "We have a spill at Vices. Clean-up on isle Will!" 😁

[@dnr0]

That needs to be a T-Shirt.

[@dragonborn5832]

You guys should do a series on making knives based on major nations around the world, like the USA knife could be a classic bowie with a star patterned damascus, etc. I think you guys will have a lot of fun experiementing and creating:)

[@theprojectproject01]

I REALLY, REALLY like this idea.

[@splitmac]

Just don't do a germany pattern. Dancing spiders are scary

I thought it was Will talking at first, I had to rewind and figure out what happened.

I'm in culinary school and really started appreciating knifes. I'm 16 and really like the videos you make on them because you make quality. Good work guys :).

[@Andrew65118]

Oh I've never clicked on a video this soon after posting! And the video is perfect, I've been binge watching knife making videos!

[@567davefair]

Alec, I think it's great that you have Wil on with you and that you are willing to share the limelight with others! The two of you are a great team and I enjoy the brotherhood and comradery you two share which really manifests itself in your vids.

[@briantimmons4615]

You guys have a super good chemistry between you on camera well suited to work together

[@tbillington]

Couldn't agree more. Will has been a great addition to the channel, and takes some of the pressure off Alec to pump out videos as well I imagine.

[@KelsomaticPDX]

I love you guys. I'm one minute into the video I just love how positive and supportive you guys are to each other. You seem to maintain a really excellent friendship. Can't wait to see the knife!

[@MegaSeretide]

I like will. I've dubbed him low energy alex.

[@DontarrestmePLZ]

I dig it.

[@donnaspear8494]

But he's the one drinking all the coffee! lol

[@theprojectproject01]

Well... LowER energy, anyhow.

[@JustinTopp]

“Surprisingly low energy for how much coffee he drinks Alec”

[@mrolsen6987]

James Greenham Yeah! It's just like they have slow down the Speed on the video 😂👍

[@JacobAlheid]

I love watching Will get better and better at his presenting and camera presence.

[@carlyk210]

9:34 "If it works then it works, if it doesnt then..." Alec: * something upbeat and positive!!!! * Will: "well then that really sucks"

[@TheUnijacker]

I have mad respect for you guys. Always willing to scrap everything and start over, takes a lot of character to do that.

[@kaydenlirette838]

Its official, May is the chef's knife video, three years running.

[@JustinTopp]

Kayden Lirette haha never noticed that. I think you have cracked the code

[@user-yr5qy9uc6h]

Are you implying the last kitchen knife video came out last year? There's no way it's gone so fast

[@OlneyaTesota]

This Country needs more Alec’s and Will’s positive work ethic. Very encouraging. Jc

[@nickcatlin4981]

Such a good range of music and editing. Quality and original stuff, well done guys

[@neagle27]

Found your channel last year and I love you guys I’m trying to get into the craft myself as a hobby and I gotta say as somebody just getting started I really appreciate how honest and unashamed both Alec and Will are when they make an oops during the process it’s hugely encouraging to me to see people who have demonstrated considerable skill still be able to humbly admit to mistakes and set about fixing them without falling into the ego trap love your work guys and keep hammering

[@joshuacross7717]

I think that its hilarious how with every cut Will gets more and more dirty. Lol

[@clydeulmer4484]

Yeah -- it's become the Stelter trademark :-)

[@onebullspinner]

Part of metalworking

[@rickrussell]

It makes you appreciate how much of the work doesn't make it into the video.

[@LordOceanus]

I know its funny because Alec must clean up constantly to look reasonably clean while will looks like a boy recruited to be a chimney sweep circa 1860s london

[@sethh8892]

@@LordOceanus Chimney Sweep? More like circa 1942

[@craigsudman4556]

This video is an excellent example of why the term Black Smith came about. I just love the way Will gets a darker patina of carbon as he gets further into his builds. Great videos guys keep 'em coming!

[@keikun6969original]

Ever since you added Will your videos have (imho) become more fun and varied. Will adds a dynamic to Alec that was missing before.

[@callmedixe1334]

Who ever edits the video does a great job. I'm engaged all the way through. I didn't realize it's 14 minutes long until the video ended

[@kainebert5815]

Recommendation: You guys should try to make a damascus/wood/resin, engraved cane of some sort, possibly with a custom handle. Would be very classy! (especially if there is a sword included)

[@LordOceanus]

CANE SWORD

[@abaguettewithacomputer415]

Already done

[@vteng05]

Great knife video. It’s fun to see Will on his own , doing a great job walking us through what he’s doing.

[@spawnage170]

That intro was hilarious, Alec was ready to keep it going with the “it’s fantastic to have you here”

[@BadForgeWeld]

Am I the only one who appreciates Will’s youth??? I’m twice his age, and while he knows his way around a forge, I know my way around life and my old body (it’s not the age, it’s the mileage), and we are both awkward and trip over stuff. Will, love you little brother. Love the work you do and the passion in which you live and work.

[@kylecampbell5636]

Yes, another chefs knife!!!

[@stevenfox386]

More of this please !!!!!!!!! i love this style and more going back to your roots rather than the 3 year projects.

[@jush1604]

Hey Will! Just FYI with those ovens the blade should be put in after the oven is up to temp to reduce grain growth.

[@Taunus-Tim]

Yes,i wanted to tell him that as well. I made this mistake myself once.the surface didnt harden at all,because the carbon burned out. The core only made it to about 48 HRC even before the annealing.

[@dylanchateau6706]

The consistency of the videography and editing in all of Alec’s videos, is unrivalled on KZbin 🙌🏽

[@DK-jd8bj]

High quality photography -terrible editing. Perfect for people with 1/4 of a second attention span. Slow it down to at least a second per shot.

[@chriswick21]

Exciting stuff! Good luck on the S-grind!

[@jayblaze1789]

Beautiful Craftsmanship so far guys can not wait to see this thing finished i know it will be awesome. I have seen other chef knifes forged by you guys. Ten years in the business I would be proud bringing out a knife by you two everyday while on the line. Really cool you guys made this for a man with 20 year in one place. Congrats to that guy because that is rare in some places I have seem my share of chefs come and go.

How many sand belts do you order at a time? “I’ll have all your sand belts. I don’t think you’re taking me serious. I want every sand belt you have.”

he did a mock forged in fire sword challenge a year or two ago, and it seems so much more diffuclt than i is on the show. just shows how good those people on the show are, as Alec found it quite difficult.

I think the reason watching this channel is so interesting is because this isn't just a hobby. It's a job. There is such a sense of professionalism. True they still do what they want in the end but thats because they are a two man company so it's there choice. It's not them doing some for the camera, it's them doing something in front of the camera.

Long time subscriber here. I’ve been thinking of this idea for you to do.

Ever since I saw your millwright friend on there it gave me the idea.

Poor Will. It's so sad that he 'kicked the bucket'. Honestly, I think I love the fact that you guys are not afraid to show us your slip-ups and mistakes almost as much as the work you do. It just makes it a more real-world experience, but then it leaves you with no content for blooper videos. 😁
