Thank you.

[@tylershields1076]

I've watched every video of yours about 10 times. I can't get enough. By far the best and most creative knife maker in KZbin

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Tyler.

[@robertgraybill5829]

That's one beautiful work of art my friend! Thanks for sharing :)

[@SLAVIKTELY]

You are welcome

[@MrPooPooJohn]

this is the best hand crafted tanto knife I've ever seen. outstanding.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

I appreciate your compliment.

[@leonidasnorway9821]

A real artist

[@andycao4920]

I think this is the most beautiful knife i have ever seen made by hand. The amount of work and attention to detail put into this is incredible.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you but there are more beautiful knives on Instagram.

[@lancelotledesma3150]

You are very creative.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you very much.

[@dmwalker24]

Easily one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen anyone make. The attention to detail and knowledge of the craft are spectacular. I'm just a beginner and I want you to know that watching these videos has been amazingly inspirational and helpful.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you. Watch my latest vacation video. I saw this knife again.

[@MrDaddyO8]

Showing my age a bit here, but... I clicked because I was curious about a "Tanto" style knife. As I'm watching this skillful master work this piece of art I'm thinking to myself, "I never saw Tanto ever have a knife that looked anything like this knife...nor The Lone Ranger". smh... wrong TONTO. Doh!!!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thanks for watching.

[@alanaspopo1955]

It's a pleasure to see the details emerge into a lovely finished piece of work. I admire the work you put into your knives! Great to watch!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you.

[@deniscustomknife8678]

Your videos are like porn in a good way)) My respect

[@jpgb4252]

I have many years of working in metal and still I was surprised with the quality of this work... amazing

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thanks JP.

[@alikefah4945]

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Ali.

[@eduardobatista4872]

I'm very much a fan of your work. Congratulations for the humility stamped on your face and for the beautiful work I'm from Brazil and I'm delighted for your work.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you for the compliment Eduardo.

[@kimkruth2826]

When i have a really crap day.. I look at your videos and calm down.. Your my therapist... Thx for great videos and you have amazing filingskillz.. :)

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Ten minute videos at $100 per hour....I will send you the bill after you watch all my videos. I mean that is if they help you😉

[@chongtxtx]

Everyone of your projects is a work of art! Please keep at it.

[@joshgepner9420]

It's really nice to see how your craftsmanship has progressed as you have purchased more tools. I like how you started to profile the blade with your belt sander then went back to the file jig to fine tune the edge. It's hand crafting and detail that make you so good at making knives.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Josh.

[@hashwindia]

You are truly gifted and I commend the way you methodically do your work while shaping these lovely instruments you make - AND most importantly - how you love and maintain your tools and clean up afterwards. Most people do not have your level of commitment, knowledge and perfectionism. I am now a fan, Sir.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you very much sir. It is an honor to get a compliment from a person like yourself.

[@Anbu8366]

Its just so detailed, that's why i appreciate your videos more than any other knife making youtubing channel

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thanks.

[@jota_barbershop827]

One of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen someone do, congratulations I watched all 3 videos

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you. I have just seen this knife recently and met the owner.

[@brianbassett4379]

Hands down this is the best knife making porn I have seen yet. No ever-decreasing idiot time limit imposed so they can get in one more commercial, no taking the fasted easiest possible route just to turn anything in, no ridiculous testing in the hopes of a slow-motion failure and a dejected look on the craftsman's face for the audience's (and hosts) entertainment. Bravo. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Brian. I am glad you liked the "organic" knife making video.

[@ximoa.2399]

What a beautiful knife!! It's got a soul within... priceless...

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@prokogo]

Результат превзошел все мои ожидания!!! восхитительно, Славик. такая красивая текстура на дамасской стали, идеально сочетается с рукоятью! ты большой молодец!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Спасибо.

[@251cchavers]

Well done. Love how the Damascus comes back to life with the chloride.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

It surprised me too. Very nice contrast.

[@claudevantard1861]

Sorgfältig. Präzise. Erfahren. Mit Sinn für praktische Schönheit. Respekt.

[@federicomansilla4129]

Is impressive the quality and the patience that you give to the pieces that you realize, you are a genius

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you

[@benmoff3419]

you've got so much class when it comes to making knives. such a minimal style, i love it.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Ben.

[@markrichards110]

It's a privilege watching you work your magic Slarvik. There is something about a Tanto blade...so sleek,elegant,simplicity at it's best. Thankyou Slarvik... Mark Richards.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

I feel the same about Tanto blades. Simple but soooo stylish.

[@TheMongo1357]

Tely, I am very partial to the Tanto and I have to say, this has got to be the most Beautiful Tanto I have ever seen! THANK YOU◇

[@SLAVIKTELY]

You are welcome

[@user-zd8kd4xi7w]

Можно бесконечно смотреть на 3 вещи:огонь,воду и как Славик делает ножи.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you for the compliment.

[@macumuzahn]

Easily the best hand made knife of this design I have seen being made.

[@gba1514]

Ровная работа.Точность филигранная.Танто непревзойденный.Восхищен.

[@sas81103]

Настоящее произведение ножевого искусства! Здорово!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Спасибо

[@grandygm]

A beautiful knife. Any collector would be proud of such a piece.

[@yhauhakhnana]

Wow! The attention to detail, craftsmanship and creativity that went into that knife is second to none. That is not just and ordinary knife to own.

[@alexanderadelmann766]

There is so much beautiful grain in both the metal and wood in this piece.

[@liam10071]

Your best knife. Love the way the handle wood goes so well with the damascus. Great work as always.

[@ottobarreto]

Son of precision and patience ... I have never seen a knife so beautiful, its work I define as perfection.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you.

[@ericschaffner9272]

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Wow, well, then thank you very much for such high praise.

[@NOWOKEXYZ]

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Sir.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Wesley. I know there are way better knife makers than I on KZbin. Thank you for the compliment.

[@conagher914]

Superb! Absolutely gorgeous work! It is hard to appreciate how much work was done by hand. Patience is a wonderful tool. Thank you for compiling this video and sharing with us.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you for the compliment.

[@MrActiveDown]

Thanks for another great 3 videos Tely. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@albertf.9770]

Slavik is the best artisan cutler i’ve seen on the net * un petit coucou de la France 👏👍👍🇫🇷

[@dropbearknives4831]

A beautiful knife, well worth the money. Keep them coming Tely.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Sure will.Thanks.

[@williamporter6185]

Astounding. Amazing to think that you do everything by hand, yet each detail looks to be done by a machine. Great work as always!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you William.

[@Blaster53]

I am speechless once again. you are placing yourself on a pair with the best old Japanese craftsmen. It is absolutely mesmerising to watch you performing your incredible art of transforming a piece of cold and hard steel into a product which should never have practical use but to become an perfect exhibit of human perfectionism in craftsmanship. Congratulations and thank you once sgain for enriching our visual experiences.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you for the compliment.

[@MrEirisch]

Your knives are so good! I have some experience in working with metal, and i know the level of perfection you get, with the bevels and all the crisp lines does not come by easy, it takes patience, talent, research and of course a great deal of will. Good job man, Love the vidoes!

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Thank you Erik.

[@nuneselso]

I love your tecnic, so mathematic and perfeccionist. If it was not so expensive to import from USA to Brazil, I would buy this one for sure. awesome work man

[@whodison5138]

I just got into making knives since last year but been a fan of the art and design of a knife build great job!

[@SLAVIKTELY]
