[@WreklessKid]

Who else agrees that Nate is honestly taking over Grant's legacy. I started watching TKOR because of the cool projects grant made in the beginning of his KZbin carrier. This video brings me back to then and I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy watching this video.

[@bobbycone2]

Absolutely! I hope Nate sticks with it and keeps growing this channel so one day we can see it be very successful.

[@allanknives]

I think he’s building his own.

[@vasudevsharma652]

I was literally thinking the same in the last video with Cali when they started exploding balloons! But as much I'd like that, Nate is a man of his own terms. I love his knife craftsmanship and less "Randomness" just like I loved Grant's stuff.

[@ordinaryknife4150]

similar nature, but different style.

[@Techmatt167Official]

Definitely! Both Nate and Calli were chosen by Grant for one reason and one reason only, and that was to carry on the channel with success. Now with the both of them gone and Grace left to dig TKOR's grave, they can now focus on building their own audience and continue to make us happy.

[@Invinciblemoam]

This is where TKOR went wrong, this content is pure gold. It sounds nerdy but as an engineer I watch stuff like this to relax when I’m at home, that’s what made me follow TKOR but the kitchen type experiments got pretty boring, there’s only so much you can do with a microwave and sweets. I also love how concise this video is, we all expect a sponsor message but I feel that many TKOR videos towards the end just went on and on and on and delivered no valuable information. Good on you Nate, I’m sure Grant would be proud, I certainly am!

[@spcraftsman2656]

I second every one of your points.

[@jairusofall]

Well said Jamie. I very much agree.

[@plasticlobster23]

This. It's so zen to watch. This is why I watch woodworking videos and even watchmaking videos (Wristwatch Revival). There's an almost Bob Ross-style relaxation that comes with these types of project videos, and Nate has nailed it.

[@PresidentEarth]

Yeah, and TKOR is too professional now, it lost the feels that there was with Nate and Grant..

[@ShockingPikachu]

This video is far more Grant era king of random. I can definitely see why Grant wanted Nate to take over.

[@nbrowser]

Folks....this just isn't Nate from that other channel, this is Nate...an honest craftsman who obviously loves this hobby! Honestly if this is your first time here...subscribe to this man's channel and watch his content...it's gonna get a LOT better from here!

[@funnyduck4568]

This stuff is cool and all but I’m not too interested in watching a million knife videos

[@ETC_Rohaly_USCG]

As a fan of what/why TKOR was, this reminds so much of that aspect.

[@nbrowser]

@@ETC_Rohaly_USCG they Let Mark (TKOR camera man) go at the same time they let Nate go...and if my eyes are right and the camera work in this video mean anything...I'm willing to bet Mark is swinging the camera himself here. Just looks that polished and sweet.

[@beggarscantbepickers4203]

Thank you for what you did on TKOR! The channel changed me and my dad's lives. We used to stay up and watch those for hours. Can't wait to see what awesome vids you make. I wish you the best of lucky Nate!

[@johnpropp737]

Love that you added the music background and explained process more. Thanks Nate

[@andynguyen8824]

I've watched many other knife making videos before, but you definitely are much more meticulous and procedural with your techniques. I think that is wonderful because it allows lay people such as ourselves (the viewer) to try to replicate this without much "skill". It also allows for a product that is consistent and to your exact desires.

[@Ravedave5]

Dang I was expecting a random garage knife with random tools. This is super professional, Wow!

[@nemoaspieman369]

Nate and Kelly are a great duo, Nate is a great host and creator whatever he does I enjoy. Thx.

[@weaponmaster6264]

The editing keeps getting better every episode! Love to see it!

[@zengrath]

Sometimes it's easy to take for granted how things are made seeing all the steps in detail there is a lot of steps and time into making a knife like this! It sometimes gives a better appreciation for the time and effort that goes into a skill. Fun to watch. Thanks.

[@hubertnnn]

True, but most knives you find in the supermarket are mass produced using a mold, so they don't go through all that steps. In fact there is a good chance that you will never use a knife that was made this way.

[@zengrath]

@@hubertnnn I wasn't really talking about cheap supermarket knifes. but i'm sure those expensive 1000$ sets have a process to them.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

It's so cool seeing the process of knives being made. You make it look fun! ~Josh Royer

[@juxtapode2781]

I love how Nate's methods are so different from what we're used to see on other knife making channels, like the metal plates+vacuum cooling or the iron sheet envelope to avoid scaling, and even the liquid nitrogen. And the result is beautiful! By far one of the more interesting knife makings I've watched in a while, where I saw the most stuff that's new to me!

[@EmanuelArellano86]

Seems like although Grant will never be replaced, nate gives that diy build things feel... Which is a huge reason why i used to watch tkor

[@DanPx8]

"I don't know what it is but I like it" - common DIY phrase! 😂 Great video man!

[@ducky5684]

I think this is where you really shine. You really get to use your own process and make projects and work on hobbies you are really passionate about. Keep up the great work.

[@MrAMyatt]

Nate, I think this is the perfect amount of narration for the KZbin edit. Love watching these videos.

[@agfrench82]

I like that you're showing the build in great detail!

[@dylanvaughn3564]

I appreciate you explaining the whole process in great detail, especially with the grinder. So many other knife makers I watch usually just show the grinding process in a montage and don't explain things such as how to "break the 90". Great video and awesome knife

[@Pnwelkhunter]

I love how you are more natural on your own platform. Thanks for the video!

[@stephens1256]

I enjoy it when you take the time to explain why you're doing a particular step.

While I expect this channel to grow quickly, I expect TKOR to proportionally fade away into oblivion.

My uncle made knives like that as a hobby for years. He made me one for my 16th birthday. He was phenomenal artist

Nate, the way you design everything out and build kind of reminds me of Adam Savage. You're a builder. Embrace that.

[@Garney309]

Where DOES he get all those wonderful toys??? HAHA Dude, I'm following you now instead of the other show, I hope they do well, but you were the one, Callie by your side, that truly perpetuated Grant's vision, and I've never been interested in knife making, but I'm learning to respect this as an art form. I'll keep watching, but hopefully you'll throw in some more of your cool experiments, too!! UPDATE: I've never been so fascinated watching something I didn't think I was interested in. That knife was really cool, and the process was amazing!!

The Crafsman - Steady Craftin says you should always carry a knife and sharpener. That way if you ever get lost, you can just sit down and start sharpening your knife and somebody will come along directly to tell you that you're doing it wrong.

[@andrejohnson6731]

I noticed some knifemakers purposely avoid perpendicular grind lines on the edge of the knife, prefering to touch up the profile with parallel grinding before heat treatment. Something reducing stress points and warping. Then again I’m no expert. Love this channel. Keep it up!

Fantastic video. I'd love to see a "but cheaper" version using a coping saw and files. A knife like this can be made with hand tools, it would be cool to see that happen. Speaking as someone (like you) who has taken the last two decades to build up a metal & wood shop, knowing the "by hand" techniques allowing me to build cheaply early on kept me in the hobby while I saved enough to flesh out a shop.
