Yes sir! Another beautiful knife. Good to see Mr. Hank in good health. I puke after chewing bones aswell. It's normal.

[@AaronJohnson1979]

Lol!!!! I had to put that on the video lol Yeah, sometimes Hank forgets to chew

[@wadejensen3301]

Yep, some things just work...I like the way it sharpens up...and how easy it is to resharpen..thanks for the video!

[@AaronJohnson1979]

Yeah, besides the rusting part, this would be great in the kitchen, but I noticed that coffee etch is real durable compared to the acid

[@Smile_Back]

Stunning knife. I look forward to see more of your videos.

[@AaronJohnson1979]

Thank you I appreciate that. Have a spectacular day!!

I have made 2 knives with 01 tool steel. A Nakiri and a paring knife. I personally love the steel. I use a propane forge with a K-Meter thermocouple and parks AAA. Your knife looks great with the coffee patina.

[@AaronJohnson1979]

Yeah, and I see nothing wrong with that method but so many people do it’s almost weird. I made a few knives with a propane forge myself and they turned out just fine.

Ive used hand planes that use O1 steel for the blade and that sumbitch held an edge for a looong time. Love your videos

[@AaronJohnson1979]

I for sure notice a difference in Edge holding now that I have a Heat treat oven with o1, and thank you. I appreciate that.

[@Hopeknives13]

I got the same set up for the grinder minus all them added features you have. Now I think I need them added on. For your cu Mia I made a few. Lower temp lots of borax and lighter hits. If you fail retry the piece usually they’ll restick with same process. Good luck and great content 👍🏼

[@AaronJohnson1979]

I think I’m going to practice with contrasting steals and get good at that first then move to cu mai not ready for it lol I suck! Do you have a 2 x 42 ? I love mine it’s been super reliable it’s a craftsman

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Poor dogo puking. Knife looks good mate. And damn your Sharpening skills is insanely good now 😁

[@AaronJohnson1979]

Thanks o1 takes a mean edge

[@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY]

Hi, I just came across your video. Do you make and sell custom knives to order? How can I get in touch with you about this? Thanks!
