[@ragnkja]

That’s a nice and sharp knife. Looks like it’ll be a great carving knife.

[@alainmoran8560]

Thank you! The idea of using a step drill and then filing into a taper is pure genius :D

[@andrewFull]

Nice touch filing the facets on the ferule. Great work.

[@edoconnor3840]

Wonderful knife and great video. I've been hammering copper electrical wire to make small sheet for over twenty years. It never occurred to me to do the same with pipe. Awesome tip. Thanks!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Nothing better than a sharp knife/chisel, the sounds of it cutting wood is glorious 😊 Great build Neil, well done 🏆👍🏼

[@oojagapivy]

Points for patience Neil. Beautiful job.

[@FinnJenkins]

Brilliant knife. You make it look so accessible. 2019 is the year I give knife making a go and this world be the prefect start. Thanks for the excellent videos.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Alex! You should definitely give it a go - have fun! :)

[@bennierheeder7015]

I love seeing you use all the different tools you’ve made over time, making more tools. Great vid.

Greetings from finland !Great job again Pask ! that looks a lot like finnish woodcarving knife ! we call it "Puukko" if u break the word "PUU" means wood... Carpenters, fishers ,hunters , lumberjacks, and woodcarving artist all use this type of knife in finland.... some have little bit longer or wider blade and the body goes thru the handle everytime... nothing FULLTANG SHIT here... Knifemakers in finland burns with the knifebody to be exact to the handle while in final heating prosess... and they put little piece leather between copper and wood.... wood expands and shrinks even with this direction just a little bit.......I Love ur channel Pask.. these videos make my day sometimes :D

[@pablocruzgilmour]

That is an absolute work of art, I'm so impressed by your commitment to it and the challenges you've overcome. That tapered faceted ferule is something else! Watching you learn helps me learn and your work is inspiring. All the best mate

[@tamirsharon4845]

beautiful thanks for all your movies

[@RedmarKerkhof]

Hey, great work! Might I add some tips, from one amateur blacksmith to another? -Keep your anvil close to your fire so you don't lose heat. -Don't put your thumb on top of the hammer as you're striking, it'll transfer all the kinetic energy into your tendons and wreck them. -If you use your brush in only one direction it'll last longer since the bristles won't wiggle themselves loose as much. -You can choose to put your touchmark on it after the initial grinding, before heat treatment, so it'll be deeper as you're not gringing away at it as much. -You're right in using the thickest one. As the saying goes: "if you want a good edge win, forge it thicc and grind it thin." But don't take my word for it, I'm just a random dude on the internet who learned most of the craft from youtube videos. It's a great little knife you made in any case. Well done.

[@artistvictoria9151]

Really nice work...enjoyed watching you create this carving knife! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@captainsquee471]

Thanks for a great video. I think I'm amazed by your perseverance every time I watch one of your videos, and that's how I get to 250 grit sanding!! I think, "if Pask can file that copper I can sand this walnut!" Cheers man!!

[@Rouverius]

Wow, looks like you've upped your blacksmithing game. That maker mark is looking great too.

[@johndilsaver8409]

That handle making jig is clever, I'll go watch that next!

[@magicdaveable]

Very nice blacksmithing job. Nice carver.

[@GoGreenMan]

I liked the spring clamp notching thing you used on the blade. Keep up the great work!

[@marcelojustusjunior2159]

Your work is really beautiful and seeing how happy you are by doing it is amazing! Discovered your channel just recently and I am already a big fan. It's so peaceful to watch :) Keep up this awesome work! Greetings from Brazil \o/

Good job 👍🏽 hello from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 I like this knife 🔪

[@Craftswright]

Did anyone else get a little freaked out by that sound around the 12:22 mark? "Was that an ambulance? A dirt bike? Or some feral bush animal sneaking up on Pask?!?"😂

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice from start to finish

[@sofianebenhadj60]

very very good job

[@zachwolfrom4522]

Pask is the man!!

[@sbvera13]

Forging advice: Don't put your thumb on the handle, it will lead to repetitive stress injury (tennis elbow). Wrap all the way around the handle. Life the hammer from your shoulder, not the biceps, it involves more and larger muscle groups and you'll get tired slower and get a lot more power. Great project!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much for the advice, definitely makes sense! :)

Schmicko build, mate. 👍 Love your little logo on the blade too. 👌

[@120Livi]

great video. next time, rather than drawing round your template use a high contrast spray paint - really good for marking out shapes

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks - glad you liked it! I've used spray paint before but I prefer the nice crisp line from a scriber. :)

[@Halloween7818]

I like how you didn't feel the need to cut paper to prove you know how to sharpen a blade. That alone is worth a few thousand likes.

[@drhender6943]

I know this is an older video, but I watched it again just because I needed a Pask fix. ;) It occurred to me that you could have used an old American penny to make the copper washer for the butt end!

[@xav8598]

Good job, bientôt la cuillère....

[@johnniewalker39]

Amazing job, i've learned something today, thank you!

[@сергейденисов-у3я]

отличная работа, великолепный работяжка.

[@sniperneil53]

Neil, when you are forging, don't choke the hammer. Use the entire handle.

[@ChristopherSmith-bh4sz]

You'd be surprised how many do that including Alec Steele.

[@ApexHerbivore]

Don't you move your hand up and down the handle, depending on how much power/control you want?

[@stevepatrick3432]

I was going to suggest using a penny for the end washer if you do another one since they are copper, then I remembered you probably dont have worthless change coins like that in Australia!

[@jorgevillalobos5212]

Great idea! I'm always looking for shortcuts to make life easier and make work faster, while watching the video I was thinking...way to much time to make it if I ever need one I'll buy it!

[@poowhynot1268]

i once peened a spring like that into 2 inch wide blade, didnt even think id be able to spread it that thin and wide

[@iteerrex8166]

Very Nice! A metal cutting band saw would have been nice. That looked like hours of filing. Ouch!

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Turned out great! I really like that knife vise! Did you make that or purchase it?

[@ECLIPSE_74]

Cool !

[@censusgary]

That’s an interesting jig you made for putting the ferrule on. Do you not use any flux when you forge?

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

Isn't flux only needed for forge welding? Didn't look like Neil had a big problem with scale/oxidation anyway.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Flux is mainly used for forge welds. It helps keep the metal from oxidizing and getting mill scale between the welds.

[@АндрейСтоян-х8и]

Кажущася простота, только подчеркивает мастерство. 👍👏

[@GenePavlovsky]

The knife looks lively and it seems to carve very well! Easy to see how the scandi/full flat grind gives great control for carving. The how-to video is so well made (like your other videos)! The method of making a tapered ferrule looks very time-consuming, mostly the amount of filing that was necessary at the end - and even then in my opinion the ferrule remained too thick (at least visually looks like that). I wonder if it would be to use make some kind of die or a cone to swage a cylindrical ferrule (just a length of tubing) into a tapered shape? Perhaps using a tool similar to what jewelers use to resize rings.

[@TheScottJeter]

Maybe forge the ferrule? Or make it ahead of time using the belt sander and a dummy handle.

[@GenePavlovsky]

@@TheScottJeter Probably takes quite some skill to forge, like forging a socket on a socketed chisel. But if the skill is there, the result would have a beautiful handmade look. Belt sander idea would work (or a lathe). I was just wondering if it's possible to do cheaply (using brass or copper tube as the raw material) and without lots of heat/noise/dust.

[@ИванПоказаньев-ш3и]

Good 😄!

Would you make a video about your work place

Small but its good sir👍👍👍

[@laksh_ayy]

This guy actually went on the grinder without gloves.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I love the whole look of the knife, but especially the blade. Is the dark almost pitted look from using a car spring or does that happen during the hammering and flattening of the blade? Thanks, Neil for another interesting project to try.

ohje, bei videozeit 14:03 wird kurz dein gesicht eingeblendet da dachte ich dir ist der bart beim schleifen gewachsen so lange schleifst daran. gute ausdauer. aber so muss das sein. gut geworden. tolle arbeit. weiter so. deine videos und projekte sind genial.

[@billybobjoe198]

I don't know how hot we're talking here, but in my experience 2 part epoxy needs to be heated up to properly cure. Usually around too hot to touch is where I heat it to.

[@nicoxstyle]

I think he meant it as to when the epoxy is already dry it gets loose when it gets overheated. I've had a similar experience with a knife i made, i sanded the pins i used to secure the blade to the handle after glueing with epoxy, the result i got was a loose blade.

[@GoGreenMan]

Did you make the jig that held the blade while you filed the copper collar?

[@ricky107_]

Why does it don't create sparks after your hardened it?

[@BlazeOGlory]

Another awesome video. Keep up the good work! What kind of file is the big one that you used in this video? The one with the holes in it?

[@austinjutte4855]

That's a rasp

[@BlazeOGlory]

How large is your anvil? I would love to start knife making but sometimes it is impossible to find an anvil larger than 55lbs

[@TY1979KA]

im certainly not an expert but couldnt you have used your handle jig with some scrap wood to save you from a lot of filing on the copper part? anyways beatuful work!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks! I could've done it freehand on the belt grinder but you'd be amazed how hot copper gets, that would have burned the wood next to the ferrule. I actually enjoy filing so it wasn't a problem at all! :)
