You seem to have become like best friends with Guga. If I were in your position, I'd be best friend with him too. :) Keep up the great content, both of you.

[@Demolishionist]

Bismuth is also a key ingredient in Pepto Bismol, though not nearly as visually stunning as their pieces.

[@nicholascervone4734]

You should totally get yourself a forge so when you don't have enough material at least you can forge at a Tang for the handle so it's all one solid piece.

[@dazzlingde1ights]

you seem to now have more energy and more fun than on the king of random

[@DovahHouse]

I probably said this before me but…. Let me understand something they replaced you and Callie whit grace? She’s like the host of the show? I’m not tryin to hate but she’s quite annoying I’m keeping the tkor Channel only because of you guys honestly I don’t watch graces vids you were the channel creators best friend how could they do that? She’s not engaging and not entertaining and not you. Anyways it ticks me off.

[@GugaFoods]

The most epic knife have! Thanks Nate… fits my hands like a glove 😂

Hope to see it in a future video of yours!

[@brendolbreadwar2671]

This channel gives me so much comfort and joy, it feels like talking to an old friend, just so great

[@senmetwo42]

Last time I checked your sub count you were around 100k. Now you're up to 200k. I'm so happy for you that you're starting to fly on your own. I won't be surprised to see you at 1m. So many creators know you and would love to work with you if you want that. Keep up the good work

[@jaspastritt1364]

It makes me a so happy to see you succeeding so much with your own channel. Was such a mistake for TKOR to let you go, but honestly I think it's worked out for the best. You're making much higher quality content now, and because it's what you care about, the passion bleeds through the videos!

[@zUltra3D]

Honestly tkor is now a shell of what it once was, it's great to see Nate continue its legacy with the classic interesting projects

[@jaspastritt1364]

@@zUltra3D Couldn’t agree more. This channel has the soul that TKOR used to have when Grant was still around.

why did TKOR let him go?

[@jasmeralia]

That is really cool and definitely fits Guga's aesthetic.

[@Srvrdown57]

It’s just crazy that 2 of my favorite content creators are collaborating!! I’ve been watching both you and Guga for years, I don’t care if you guys met naturally or through a management decision, the videos are superb. Nate you’re doing amazing on your own, keep it up!!

[@zacknight9137]

You should watch Kyle Royer, he has to be one of the greatest bladesmiths on the planet. After etching his blades he leaves them to soak in an in instant coffee bath and it brings out the dark striations of the pattern in crazy black detail.

[@NFTI]

I collaborated with Kyle! He made me a BEAUTIFUL bar of steel that I made into a knife, I've got two videos about it! He is so good. Ferric chloride and coffee don't work well on stainless steels though!

[@BradGryphonn]

I love the thought you put into this for 'Guga'. I've been a long time subber to both your channels and I really appreciate the obvious friendship you two have. Oh, and I'm a knife nerd, so this was epic!

[@dghgfhjgnxdgfhtfyuiy]

Genuinely happy for Nates channel growth, it's only the start I reckon. He'll grow exponentially in 2023, my guess is around 2 million subs

[@andrewfields8556]

I'm so glad nate left TKOR and has his own successful channel. He didn't slander them or put them down, but just left and started his own thing.

[@andrewfields8556]

Shut up faker...

[@Danielson1818]

I've been a knife enthusiast for a couple years now, but that's my first time seeing stainless Damascus. Very cool looking.

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

I also make knives on a part time basis and always enjoy watching techniques used by other makers. Many of decisions were different than what I would have done, but you ended up with a beautiful product at the end. I've never seen a knife makers shop that is so clean though, mine ends up covered in powdered steel no matter how often I vacuum it.

[@KryptosatanTemnozor]

Knife looks great, but I would personally use longer damascus part and put the weld further into the handle, so it's less stressed during use... And also weld it before heat treating would be good idea, as mentioned.

[@Dizastermaster.]

Full tang would of course be best but gotta work with what you got

[@LKH9Channel]

Nice technical explanation, sounds like a great teacher. You need a close-up slowmo of the knife going thru the paper

[@denniz122]

Good work, just a note dont try welding heattreated steel it wont hold (yes its a knive it will be okay in this case probably) done some toolsteel welding and u need to be carefull with doing so, need some heattreating aswell and so on.

[@trajectory3156]

love all your videos but the knife-making ones are usually my favorite, great work!

you can now buy flux cored stainless steel mig wire FYI.

When Nate’s explaining the acid soak around 8:30 he’s positioned in such a way in front of his lights that it makes it look like he has white eyes under his glasses a few times lol

Dude, that stainless damascus, I should say... I didn't know it exists! Now I want it soooo bad 🤣🤣 I was a liitle worried with that point where Nate put the 2 steels together, but I hope it will never fail 😁

[@marchanson5935]

Just recently found you again. Glad you went on your own Nick. Loved TKOR but I haven’t really watched it since you left.

[@AgentWest]

Interesting way to finish Damascus, have not seen that one before. Makes it looks like wood, in a way, or like water ripples that suddenly froze. With a bit more etching and deeper pattern it ought to make for an interesting feel and finish on something like a wrench as well.

[@iivarimokelainen]

Nate, that knife is absolutely awesome

[@thatstupidbunnysuit2648]

[@lrharner]

one of the better HT runs for a tuber. scale that as a knife maker that has been doing his own nearly 20 years dama steel is some $ stuff. you did a great job with your gear. that post HT weld gives me question but hey its a knife not ment for big impacts

[@NFTI]

Ya the weld is small, this is not a chopping knife, the join is inside the handle, and the heat never made it to the blade, it will be fine.

[@Falcon532.]

[@jamesbrandon8520]

I think you should have used as much of the Damascus as possible to get it to the center of the handle to make it stronger, it just looks like this could be a weak design

[@Werdna12345]

Nate this looks awesome! If you are up for video ideas, I love your food experiment videos. Would you consider videos that test multiple recipes of the same dish? I’m genuinely interested your group’s reactions. Plus, with options of “trying the best cookie recipes” titles/thumbnails, I think it gives you more ways to break out of your normal audience and expose people to the other awesome content you make. Hope the Guga collabs have been helping too!

[@nidodson]

For a little more safety, maybe heat sealed bag, like for sous vide, to make a custom cover for the blade. Would have been perfect for Guga, since he has seen the type of bag thousands of times from the Sous Vide Everything channel.

I'm a welder and you should have done Tig because tip is better for stainless because you can use stainless rod to weld it. If you did that. It would have be able to not show up making a better finish.

[@gannas42]

Awesome knife! Although the out of order clips around the grinding confused me for a moment. You went from finish gridining the handle profile back to cutting the rough handle shape with the cutoff tool. Threw me for a loop.

[@aaronkortas8336]

I'd like to suggest an idea for a video. You should take your knowledge of different steel qualities and compare different commercially available Chef's knives to assign a value to the uneducated consumer. Me as a semi-educated consumer would recommend J.A. Henckles rocking santoku for price durability and utility costing around $80 but maybe you know better.
