Putting in the plug in the handle was what i was most interested to see so i was bummed that you left it out but i understand. Thanks for the effort of making these vids! Would love to see a full tang kukri vid.

[@DeweyBlanton-ku7db]

17:30-17:45 was a magic trick. 👀

[@battlebreedactual5395]

I was looking for the same thing. Like why not include that and make a complete video of the whole process.

[@jeremyjjbrown]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3e2nntvpLuDf6M shows the whole process.

[@Stonrdude]

@@jeremyjjbrown I have watched that and i bet anything that Neils process is simpler and better.

[@jasonstevens-aka-BigBawb]

Bro, part two had me gutting and reworking my shop all weekend. I am 90% done rebuilding my tool stands and tables getting my posture right. I am soo tired but excited to see this drop.

[@NeilTKamimura]

I'm glad my content is inspiring you! Keep at it! It'll pay off in the end!

[@chrisofthehardies3161]

More chef knife videos would be great

[@TuckerCustomShop]

I would like to see you build the knife you would carry every day. A do it all tool.

[@thomasfranek3611]

It would be awesome if you did a video on integral hunting style knife

[@xiongher3080]

How about making a small survival knife? Would love to see that.

[@DMB505]

Good videos Neil keep up the goot work! Do a hunting clip point or drop point Bowie knife

[@OrrCustoms]

Johnson's Paste Wax has been discontinued. That stuff is like gold now.

[@candobuckaroostacker6938]

Thank you for making videos. I love the content. I myself enjoy the knife making process. I was curious if you’d every make a folder knife. I think you would come up with an interesting take on a folder.

[@kylehollenbeck233]

Hunting or EDC knife would be awesome!

[@hugostiglitz3738]

This is my favorite knife making channel by a mile! Looking forward to future vids. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@wickedfish1969]

make a all around user knife (outdoor & Kitchen) just a personal knife.

[@benoitgrimard6639]

Thanks for the FREE information 😂 seriously you are really generous to share your know-how. THANKS

[@D_is_4_Dodge]

You should do a Maguro Bōchō aka tuna sword.

[@jbickel7575]

Your craftsmanship is obvious. What I really liked was you describing what you do and explaining why. Great lessons from a master for other blacksmith’s/knife makers!

[@johneriksen5504]

Now I remember why I have the Johnson wax!😂

[@shakesforge]

I appreciate you and your videos. There's always something I take away from them.

[@jsmcinnes]

Thanks again!! Would love to watch you making a full tang, EDC, belt knife with a leather sheath!! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!! I was today years old when I learned about the Johnsons wax tip! Thank you

[@fredb7814]

Peter Schwarz Burt or Dragons breath Forge Here on KZbin...took me a while to find Till I understood Peter Schwarz Berg 😂....thx for Sharing all your knowledge....there is Always something new to learn or to Pick Up in your Videos I havent thought about ...thanks 🎉

[@NeilTKamimura]

Nice catch

[@musikjunx]

Thanks for the great video! I live this channel ❤ I would be interested in a video about how you correct warping and high carbon laminates like they are common in Japan. A Deba knife or something with a hollow grind would be interesting too.

[@richardvanboxel1975]

A bold low layer count jelly roll!!! Then make whatever knife you scheme up. But to see you make some jelly roll Damascus would be dope!

[@mannymatta9547]

Absolutely beautiful you inspire me

[@user-cs2nq9wu4f]

Hello My Friend to you from Russia !!!! You are a great Master !!! I really like watching You make knives!!! I learned a lot from your videos !!! health and prosperity to your family and your favorite business!!!

[@NeilTKamimura]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@virtusleather]

We appreciate the videos. Especially the sharpening was so insightful to see. Thanks brother 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@burlboss4177]

I will watch any video you put out. I love your content. I made a brute de forge Nakiri following this video. I was able to source some of the same material you used for this a while back when it was in stock. It turned out very good for me. I wish I could post a picture. I do greatly appreciate these videos! Take care, Neil and Dane!

[@nemesis439]

Neil, i just love watching your videos. Im not a knife maker or nothing like that, but i have watched your sharpening video many many times and im definitely better at it thanks to watching it. So i humbly say thanks.

[@plectrumura]

For your suggestion request, I'd love to see your approach to making damascus. Like, are you making a bunch of stock and using it up as you get project ideas, or do you make the steel bespoke for a specific knife design, etc. With that said, if you wanted to show a mono steel kukri forging process, I'm all about that too. Great video, btw, and thanks for sharing what you do.

[@janikumlander1822]

More chef knifes 👌

[@treybrackman4030]

Thank you!

[@thebeardedone1225]

Neil, that's the most beautiful knife I've ever seen. I really enjoyed the amount of effort you put into making it absolutely perfect in every way. Rugged yet elegant. It's a work of art. Subscribed, because now I need more! Ha

[@agonekarakdrak6902]

Great built as always. I like your style of knives. And I will pick some tricks from you , for sure! I wish you a peaceful life.

[@Dougprince72]

A shaving razor I'd think would turn out pretty Sick

[@gbradg55]

How about a simple but elegant ladder pattern Damascus brisket slicer.

[@mountainwolf1]

Very beautiful nakiri thank you for sharing your wisdom. You have improved my japanese kitchen knives greatly with sharing your techniques with me and everyone Godbless and be well.

[@SingAtTheWall]

Loving the series my dude. It's awesome to see the little tips and tricks other makers have come up with. Keeps the inspiration going. 👍

[@NeilTKamimura]

More to come!

[@jmbstudio6873]

Another awesome vid! Nice to see someone actually forging on KZbin. For your next knife I suggest a stock removal vid to match the millions of other vids on KZbin that are boring as shit to watch. Kidding. Forge On!!! So I understand why you don't want to do a Katana build. How about a Tanto build?

[@xiongher3080]

Great video, great episodes. Enjoy every minute of it. That blade came out nice

[@kylemckeown2456]

that paste wax tip is a game changer man

[@jeffreydauterman]

Forge out a petty knife! Your kitchen knives are 🤌🏽!!! Kurkri would be awesome as well. Ordered your blade care wax and 2 shirts!!!!! Thank you for what you are sharing!

[@user-nt5ik9cz9f]

Loved watching the build and learned a few things as always. Love your content please keep them coming!

[@sugardust8443]

KUKRI !!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

[@kevyriverside8082]

Lets go all in and make a kukri my guy🎉

[@woofy435]

how about a Deba next? Or kiretsuki?

[@mikeleahey9190]

Great content!

[@Cetrifuga1945]

Ciaooo Giappone 🇯🇵 sempre bravo a fare i coltelli 👍👍

[@stephenjohnson6841]

That knife is beyond next level! I'm cool with whatever you decide to do next. A Kirkri will be awesome! Thanks again for another longer and awesome video!

[@Fabio_W2]

Thanks a lot for all these information. Cheers from France.

[@mauriziomassidda415]

Sei un gran maestro,saluti dall'Italia🔥

Aloha from Hawaii!!

Magnifique ton Nakiri Très belles vidéos ton travail est super Merci pour ses moments agréables

[@jeremywoods5546]

Thank you for all of this amazing advice! My knives get better after every video man. No bullshit. I have been a bladesmith for only about 2 years now. Lots to learn... Question, what brand of wax are you sealing your damacus pieces after etching?

[@NeilTKamimura]

Check out my website. We produced a knife care wax and handle juice. Link in the caption. I am stoked you have picked up a few tricks. Thank you for watching!

[@jeremywoods5546]

@@NeilTKamimura Thanks for the reply. I asked this question literally 3 min b4 you discussed it in this video. My bad. I ordered 2 of them already off of your site. Thank you for your time responding to my question.

[@HargroveSG13]

A large mincing cleaver would be fun to see.

[@saramysko1022]

Beautiful

[@1rorymac]

That knife is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your process. Love your content. Best wishes from the Sheffield Uk. Rory Sheffknives

[@CerberusForge]

Great video! Lots of great info. I think a great future build would be to forge some traditional Japanese clippers. Something similar to Sasuke?

[@Ares8671]

Awesome vid awesome blade. I’m here for whatever you end up doing 🤙

[@MrRon2k]

My vote is for a Kukri as well. You've shown you use flat stock 8670 for that in a previous video; I vote for something like that as well, as most of us newbies don't work with square/round stock due to not having a press. And as usual, I'm looking forward for you to highlight your mad hammering over anvil skills (just because I don't have a power hammer to replicate 😅). Thank you for sharing the entire process on this ❤

[@jeffreydauterman]

@rpm_neil watching you share your craft is awesome. Appreciate the sharing of your techniques!!!!! You anwser several questions I had!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@brettgl21]

Beautiful work brother! My Nakiri isn't anywhere near as nice as that one but I use it for almost everything. How about a nice Tanto? If not the Kukuri would be sweet.

[@tribal_007]

A shorter katana style blade or something like a middle eastern fighting knife kukri that can be used to cut through bush. If not that then a japanese take on the marine kabar knife for fighting and utility or just a inspired japanese style machete. NAVY VETERAN

[@richardpreisler3352]

Uuh, new Neil Kamimura Video 🙏🏻😁 1st xDD

[@NeilTKamimura]

Awesome! Thanks for your support!

[@edwardendsley3914]

Great knife love it

[@mannymorris6658]

Absolutely beautiful knife! Well designed and executed. Been following for awhile now, insta, and on here. Its awesome you have this channel and we get to see how you do things and create these amazing blades

[@b2bogster]

Hamon!!! That's really cool! It's mono steel. Is it the decarb that makes that happen because of the brut de forge? I'm sure I butched the spelling.

[@stevenjacobs2750]

I'm so curious about the steps that happened between 17:33 and 17:35 Square block with a round hole to a (hex?)agon block with a slotted hole. Love the vid!

[@Giacomothe1st]

Looks like he cut a rod of wood, slit down the middle to get a compression fit from the hidden tang into the handle. Interesting way of doing it. You can just see a slight difference of colour around the slotted area.

[@carlosmatias2458]

todo muy padre la enseñanza la mejor y sus palabras siempre sinceras.... un Kukri estaria perfecto para el siguiente capitulo

[@claudioysandraguinao9670]

gracias de corazón desde argentina, valoro tu dedicación y empeño por siempre dar lo mejor en lo que haces y compartirlo, gran talento lo sigo siempre.

[@TapOut7565]

Great content, and I absolutely love how you break it down on making knives...why not try and make an OTF knife, but add your unique flavor to it. I think that would be awesome.

[@joshkahane3800]

Have you ever tried a folding blade like a Higonokami or something like that? I cant wait to see whatever you decide to make next either way. Love your work legend

[@francescomattioli9115]

These videos are gold Neil thank you. Since you know so much about brut de forge, I'll ask you a question: how is the kurouchi finish made (the black brut de forge in japanese knives)? Can you use the steel brush and sandpaper on it or does it remove the black? I never understood it

[@user-gb6is5cb2l]

Hey man loved your vid , any chance you could do one on hunting/skinning knife ?

[@jayybanez4223]

Hunting knife please 😊

Are you planning to ship out of Usa. I would like to buy those waxes 😬

[@morgandarcy4991]

A seax would be cool

[@user-vo9vt8qs6w]

Maybe some sort of bushcraft knife

[@nickkowal6537]

Bread knife! Or a sashimi knife

[@dragoljubmilinovic5010]

kuro nashiji kiritsuke knife next please

[@markpierce7200]

i understand building a katana is very hard work, but you wanna try a tanto.

[@markpierce7200]

you might wanna try

[@Mordoria]

How about a big ole BBQ knife. Kind of a cross of a longer Gyuto, stiff like a honesuki, and tall like a Serbian cleaver

[@sergiorangel1441]

Is that the handle material you got from Little Black Ironworks at Blade Show this year?

[@radimsoucek4518]

Hey Neil! Beautiful knife! May I ask.. how thick is the leather of your apron that you are wearing? I wanna make my own custom apron but I am struggling with the leather thickness.

[@GeorgiaDOGG]

what did you put in the top of the handle to make a tight fit to the tang?

[@gundanium3126]

😅...I just use a Q-tip and water to clean the excess epoxy and never had issues with it but...as seen ↕(above or is it below?) I dont rely on just Epoxy.

[@MondoArtista.]

How do you do in the workshop when it rains and there is strong winds?

[@RangerCov_175]

How do we order one?!

[@karel-franciskdulovecz1468]

For how much money you sell this kind of knife?

[@toxsick27]

Petr who?

[@gundanium3126]

🤔...personally ...i dont trust just epoxy, as i have seen admitedly 5 min epoxy fail just from dropping it. However, I trust a 'flat' rivet with superglue or by itself as there are 1000-2000-year-old swords that the handle rotted away but the bronze or brass riveted pin or peend on pummel is still on them. with scales i take to days to put them on as i like to put one on, drill the hole at the right size for the pin stock, then put the other on and drill the hole. however once i have the material the right thickness...i drill a hole one size up about 1/8th inch thick into the material. then i make a flat rivet so that the rivet fills that slight larger hole, and peen the other end filling that hole...and i have a full size. ya i have a blade were the scales cracked i think it got knocked down by my cat, or I dropped it, or it just absorbed too much moisture (all are possible) no epoxy the handle is still on even though a piece of scale is missing.
